The sky was a deep, midnight blue, and the stars scattered across the canvas of the night sky seemed to twinkle in anticipation. On the distant horizon, a large, lonesome ship was making its way across the endless sea of stars. It was a pirate ship, bound by no law and loyal only to its captain, who steered it through the vastness of space.

The ship was captained by a woman, her hair as black as the night sky, her eyes grey and her skin tanned from the radiation of distant galaxies. She confidently steered the massive vessel through the stars, commanding her loyal crew of misfits and rogues to carry out her orders.

Onboard the ship, the crew worked day and night to keep the vessel running. They were a strange bunch, each with their own dark secrets and wild ambitions. But beneath their hardened exteriors lay a deep-seated loyalty to their captain and their ship.

The ship sailed from planet to planet, its crew plundering and plundering until there was nothing left to loot. They were a scourge on the universe, feared by the citizens of the planets they visited, and revered by the other pirates within their own ranks.

The pirate ship sailed through the stars, a beacon of chaos and destruction wherever it went. But eventually, it sailed out of the darkness and into the light, its mission complete. In the end, the captain and her crew had become legends, their tales inspiring others to follow in their wake.

Map Hook:

The crew of the pirate ship had been sailing the seas for months, searching for treasure and plundering unsuspecting ships. But one day, their luck ran out. They had been sailing too close to an ice flow and the ship became stuck.

The captain knew that if they stayed in the ice for too long, the ship would be destroyed. He ordered his crew to try and free the ship, but the icy waters were too strong. The crew worked tirelessly for days, but eventually the ice had become too thick and the ship was completely embedded in the ice.
The captain knew that the only way to save the ship was to abandon it and try to make it to shore. But the crew was too weak and the cold had taken its toll. One by one, the crew members died from the cold and exhaustion.
The captain, however, was determined to protect his gold. He refused to leave the ship and kept the gold locked up in his cabin. He was determined to go down with the ship, and so he stayed on board until the very end.
Eventually, the captain was the only one left alive. He sat in the icy cabin, still clutching his gold, until the cold finally took him and he died.
The captain's last wish was that his gold would be found and used to help others in need. And so, to this day, the pirate ship and its captain remain frozen in the ice, a reminder of a time when greed and ambition drove even the bravest of souls.

Spot of bother up at Winterbrook Stead. A friend told me Old Man Winterbrook has had some trouble with wolves and the like attacking some of his herd. At least that's what he thinks. But that ain’t the worst of it. I heard he recently found some with strange wounds. Heads missing. Limbs ripped off. Some, completely missing. But no blood. Says he’ll pay for the hides of the wolves or whatever's responsible and any proof or evidence of the devil depleting his flock. What do we have to lose? What say we take a look?

Thanks for reading - make it a great day!

Hello crew,

This post is about a new set of dungeon crawling critter miniatures for using with table top role playing games, specifically Dungeons and Dragons from Wizards of the Coast. At this time, currently at its 5th edition.

I know there is not many of you that come and visit anymore. I think Google has strangled most organic search results to us smaller kids on the block. That, and we all need to do a better job of putting out quality content. That said, I am planning on a renovation of kinds to this website to better help people looking for custom art of certain certain kinds. Stay tuned for that. But, for those select few that show up here, on a semi-regular basis, thank you! I appreciate you.

In either case, I have a good post here, mostly images, of these new miniatures I painted up. They have been done for a while, just finally got around to gluing the bases on and sealing today. And that also means doing my amateurish best on photographing these little devils.

Read on, if you dare!

This was the main piece for my collection of dungeon critters to start collecting and painting. The plastic was interestingly flexible and pre-primed with something of which I am not familiar. The reason is one of my one-shots I have penned uses the creature and I wanted to have one painted up for it. This one took around 6-10 hours. I used a combination of Folkart and Citadel paints along with Army Painter and Vallejo washes. The primer I use is a Krylon gray. Enjoy the pics! You'll have to excuse the fibers - sealed outside while tree cotton was blowing around! Oops!

The next set of icky creepy dungeon crawling critters for DnD 5e are the trio of Giant Spiders kit. This is also from Wizkids, but I had a much harder time with these. The bases were very small compared to the spiders. Luckily, I prefer using gel super glue and this helped pile up glue around the limbs to harden and, so far, securely fasten the little buggers to their bases. Also, in that same one shot as mentioned above, I have these featured in it, so I wanted to have a couple handy for the table top. Hm, their paint and color scheme ended up looking familiar!

I liked this kit a lot because it got me purely more miniatures for my money. A total of 8 dungeon dwelling creepy crawler critters. There are 2 bat swarms (be careful as they break easy and they have irritating mold lines to clean), 3 rats (or you could call them Giant Rats, I guess), and 3 spiders (again possibly used as Giant). These are all going to be used in my one shot as well since they do appear and I think visuals like these can help draw people in to a session better. I liked these a lot, they were more cute, I guess, but I will say they did not like brush-on primer. Lesson learned. These are on modeled carved stone bases, so if you care about that, be aware they are not plain! One thing to note is that I used the Citadel Technical Paint - Blood for the Blood God for blood dripping from the rat fangs and also I think spattered blood under the spiders. It really helps give it a wet shiny blood type effect. 10/10 recommend. Enjoy the lot!

While these were crucial as pieces to the one-shot to acquire and be able to field, I found them the most annoying to deal with both in terms of model fidelity and prepping and painting. They had poor definition and terrible mold lines to clean which made it tricky for painting. That said, there is something rather satisfying about the pile of rats to look at. One thing I found odd about these is that they have a base of sorts molded into them, but, for some reason, they came with their own glue-on bases. Well, me being me, I simply didn't want to waste those bases and ended up painting them up and gluing the seething mounds of dungeon rats to them. I think they turned out as good as can be hoped. Hopefully, a better kit comes out. This was 2 swarms in the blister, by the way. I can recall who I got them through, but I am pretty sure it was another Wizkid pack. Enjoy!

If you or anyone you know are looking for someone to help paint up some minis for your adventures, hit me up in the comments or the contact page. Thanks!
