Orc Big Brutes

 The larger specimens of the orc species.  These were fun to paint!  

All of these fantasy figures are for a project I am calling "Dungeon Heroes".  Imagine a game that is a bit like the old GW game Advanced Heroquest, with elements of 1st edition D&D.  However it has a completely original combat and magic system, and can be played without a DM.  

Orcs!

 I'm also done painting my ten orcs.  These are figures from Mirliton (old Grenadier figures sculpted by Nick Lund) 

Goblin Warriors

 I have finished my goblin figures, so here are some photos!

Goblin Archers

I just finished painting five goblin archers tonight.  These are the first miniatures from my big order from Mirliton in Italy.  I'm pretty happy with them.  Take a look.

Goblins & Gargoyles

I've still been working on a dungeon crawl that hits all the right notes for me.  I've made a bunch of floor tiles for rooms and passages.  Also a set of doors.  These pieces are my own design.  I sculpted the originals and then cast copies in resin.

As for rules, I have my own rules for generating the dungeon, and encountering monsters.  Also my own rules for treasure.  But for combat and activation I have been using  modified version of Song of Blades and Heroes.  I am trying to capture a vibe that blends old school D&D with Advanced Heroquest.

Yesterday I got a shipment of miniatures from Mirliton in Italy.  These are the old Grenadier goblins, orcs, and trolls from circa 1990.  I can't wait to get these painted and on the game table!

Dungeon Explorers

More painted explorers!

...and some spiders made from cheap plastic halloween spiders.

Old School Dungeon Crawling

So as it turns out, not everything I do is historical gaming.  Lately I've been building a revised and customized DIY version of Advanced Heroquest.  The revised ruleset I am using is AHQ: Reforged.  This is a nice improvement over the old rules which I played with my friends way back when.  So here are a few photos of some of the stuff I've built.

And here are some of the figures I've started painting to go with it.

Scorpions

This guy needs a name.  Any ideas?
