Pixelastic Painting Log

I used some of my new acquired Speed Paints to paint a bunch of World of Warcraft miniature I had.

This is one of those builds I didn’t really know where I was going with it, but just kept building, and learn along the way.

This is a terrain piece I wanted to have for a long time.

Xvarts are horrible little creatures in D&D.

When you’re crossing a deep swamp, and you don’t want to get your feet wet (or worse), you need bridges.

I recently bought the new Army Painter Speed Paint small set, and it has been a revelation to me.

This might be a goblin hut, or the a forest gnome laboratory, or even the visible part of an underground complex.

Deep under the city, there is the legendary Vault of the Strongfist, where this whole Dwarven family stored their riches.

I put many of my terrain pieces on the shelves at the back of my crafting room/office.

There is one trope that is present in every of my D&D game: thugs attacking the PCs.

When I painted my Skaven group, I wanted to test the Speed Paint Metallic paints.

Sometimes, for big battles, I find it easier to use a large board instead of placing the individual floor tiles, so I made large 14x14 board.

I used a sprue of plastic ghouls as an excuse to test some of my new paints.

Those were a very quick paint job with my new Army Painter big box.

I made more stairs; this time to thinking as a terrain piece for a game, but rather as a display element for putting my painted minis.

This is the first real-size prop I ever made (as opposed to my usual 28mm miniature sized terrain).

I made this small scatter terrain wooden house out of, what I think is, a MacDonalds Toy.

I built a Swamp/Sewer UDT tile.

My daughter being in a Frozen-Let-It-Go phase, she asked me if I could create some snow mountains for her to play with her Elsa and Olaf toys.

A little break from painting terrain, I wanted to paint some miniature.

Sometimes I need to quickly furnish a room with some dressing to give it some character.

I didn’t have much inspiration when I started this bridge.

The four encounters above took place on the same board; I only had to change various walls and dressing to make them very different places.

To separate the various rooms, I built some small stone walls.

The final boss of the campaign spent most of his time hidden behind a giant skeletal hand, as seen on the picture.

The rune on the floor is a variation on the Alaznist rune from Pathfinder, and has been the rune of Ezren, the Warlock of the group, whose evil twin has perverted all timelines.

The mansion needed some furniture, to make it look like all posh and classy.

The fight in the Kaijitsu Mansion took place on the first floor, and there was a balcony allowing for some vertical combat with people on the ground floor (actually, only a flying mage).

During the final fight, Kyra had to run on a set of stairs to avoid a horde of reanimated zombies.

When they took a rest in the underground caverns and got attacked by a Roper, I used some Stalagmites to add some interesting dressing to the scene.

Large wood floor boards are great, but sometimes I need something more modular, a bit like Dungeon Stone Tiles.

The fight against their evil twin took place in a Mansion, and I wanted a way to visually symbolize the walls.

On some pics you can see alternate wooden tiles (on the right here), that were an earlier attempt.

In dungeons, players often have to use spiral staircases to go up one level.

When the glass tubes broke, my players were confronted against a bunch of colored oozes.

When the heroes explored the dungeon, they entered a room full of glass tubes full of oozes (that they of course had to fight).

Before reaching the last room of the Time Dungeon, my players had to go through one last trap: a set of gears and pistons moving in an haphazard manner.

In my game, Lord Deverin is an important NPC that has been wrongly accused and sent to jail.

In one of the last rooms of the dungeon, players entered a room full of moving gears, with a ship help in the center, and a wall made of moving gears at the back.

Similar to the Stone Floors, you sometimes need to lay some large wooden floors.

While exploring the dungeon, I could put on the table 2x2 squares to symbolize the corridors and room.

Dungeon tiles are great, but sometimes you need to put one large room on the table, in one go, without having to fidget with 9 moving pieces.

We used to be playing every other Sunday evening, and had an ongoing D&D 5e campaign running.

At the time of posting, this is the build I’m the most proud of.

I pimped an old metal flower pot into a nice little house.

To go with my dungeon tiles, I made a bunch of dungeon dressing pieces.

I made some dungeon tiles, inspired by Wyloch.

This is a quick post on how I made some crates for scatter terrain.

Those are some scatter bone pile terrains.

I made a blacksmith forge out of the structure of a toy.
