    Kris' miniature thread

    Apologies for the thread necromancy (as it's been quite a while since I updated this), but I figured I'd post a few pics of some of the stuff I did earlier in the year. If you look to an earlier post (above) you will see some 10mm miniatures that I painted to represent an army in my campaign...

    DM Sketchpad Maps (a new map every month)

    Thanks :) glad you guys like 'em :) As I said in the original post, scaled-up battlemat versions will be made available too, though as of yet only August's is available. Here's the link (the battlemat version appears at the end of the 'zine): DM Sketchpad - August

    DM Sketchpad Maps (a new map every month)

    I've kinda strayed away from the 'dungeon' for November's map... ...so this one is meant to be some kind of church or temple.

    Tolkien's Beleriand (my attempt at maps & things)

    DM Sketchpad Maps (a new map every month)

    Yeah, drawing the water is a bit of a pain, and yeah, I really should attempt a few tutorials in the future :) Anyway, here's a look at October's map ...a rather extravagant burial mound/cairn/barrow type of thing:

    Tolkien's Beleriand (my attempt at maps & things)

    Glad you guys like the map :) As I say, it's still only a WIP of the northern highlands really, but it's probably enough for me to try a little mini-campaign or a one-shot 'testing-the-waters' kinda thing. I should probably also try and list my additions at some point too - just to clarify...

    Tolkien's Beleriand (my attempt at maps & things)

    Hmm ...it's been a while since I've done anything with regard to this campaign idea, though it is definitely something I will attempt to run eventually. I have however been thinking about it again recently, and since I also like messing around with shield designs and emblems and heraldry and...

    DM Sketchpad Maps (a new map every month)

    Hello all. Some of you might recall that earlier this year I drew a 'dungeon map every day' throughout the month of May, and posted them here and on my website. Well, I'm kinda doing something similar again (though as the title states, only one a month this time around) - though these will be...

    Encounter Maps

    Hello :) I created a bunch of simple black & white dungeons back in May, and I also blew them up to miniatures scale. In all honesty they don't look that great when blown up to such a scale ...but here's a link to them in case they are of interest: generic_dungeons They can also be pieced...

    Tolkien's Beleriand (my attempt at maps & things)

    It seems to have been a bit quiet over here of late, so I figured I'd post a link to something I'm currently working on. I've basically got it into my head that a First Age Middle Earth game (many thousands of years prior to the events of tLotR) would be a good idea - and so I figured I'd try...

    A new dungeon map every day (throughout May)

    Never really thought about it to be honest, but in truth, drawing a plain, empty, dungeon isn't all that time consuming once you have got all your textures and stuff worked out (as it's getting those done and settling on a style, that can take some time). Maybe in the future I'll download the...

    A new dungeon map every day (throughout May)

    Sounds good - and although the maps have took a little time to prepare, hopefully they'll speed up the game come game night by eliminating the 'just let me draw it out' factor before each battle. That would be really cool :) I've got no plans to try that yet ...but I have done one prototype...

    Kev's Lounge Free Dungeon Tiles

    Nice work - they look great! Earlier in the year I had the same idea for creating large rooms with my own dungeon tiles - though I've not got round to doing it yet. Yep ...I know the feeling all to well ;) Anyway, it's always great to see more free stuff - so keep up the good work :D

    All the great Fantasy Art we've been missing from Computer Games -- Post Them Here!

    I'm currently playing 'Medieval II - Total War' with the 'Third Age - Total War' mod applied to it so that I can battle in Middle Earth. So here's a look at the High Elves ...all lined up and ready to go :)

    Anyone still using 3.0?

    When I run games they are still 3.0 ...though I am currently a player in a 3.5 game (as I did buy the 3.5 PHB some time ago - just so that I could play in a 'current' version of the game back then, as I like to have a book to refer to at the table). But as I say, if I'm going to run a game I...

    DU4: First set you have to have multiples

    While I agree that multiple purchases of some of the previous sets makes them easier to use - I don't believe it was 100% necessary in order to be able to use the tiles to create a small consistent cave / dungeon / wilderness area. I apologise in advance for ranting a little here (as I don't...

    Map tiles/ battle maps

    :) ...though I still need to expand on the PDF Dungeon Tiles so that you can build larger rooms. Maybe I'll get around to that soon ;) Anyway, a guy named Ron Shirtz has some nice ones (originally done for the HeroQuest board game) here: Ye Olde Inn :: Ron Shirtz :: Tile Page: Updated October...

    Suggestion on paints & tools?

    Some great advice there tallyrand :) You can get paints from Ral Partha Europe (dunno if they are the same or not) ...and I use quite a few of them - as you can get a 15ml pot for £0.80 - whereas a GamesWorkshop 12ml pot will cost you £2.20 (which is almost as much as the RP 90ml pot)...
