100th post!

Yes, it has only taken almost 9 years to reach this point but hey, what can I say? I'm an over achiever. 😎 I thought I would go back to where it all began and post some pictures of my recently painted miniatures! I recently taken up the brush again, mostly to try and generate some income as I'm not employed right now.

Here's to another 100 posts! Cheers!

D100 Dungeon Version 3 First Impressions

 

 I recently acquired D100 Dungeon Version 3 by Martin Knight after seeing it on several YouTube videos explaining the game mechanics and I was intrigued by what I saw. Basically, you take on the role of a single warrior, rogue, or mage battling through dungeons trying to complete quests and encountering all sorts of monsters as you go. Typical dungeon crawl fair but I'm one of those fans of dungeon crawls and I can't get enough of them! Click read more below if you'd like to see my initial thoughts of my first play through! (Please note, version 2.2 is available free here at the Geek)

The classic six heroes from Dragon Quest by Ral Partha!

 I'm a vintage collector, be it miniatures, books, video games, whatever. The sad thing is, a guy my age (33 next month!) calling stuff vintage from when he was a kid is just sad since it was only in the 80's and 90's that's not that far off is it?! Well, I suppose it is...

 The six player characters from Dragon Quest were made in both plastic and metal versions. Presented here are the metal versions. They came free with the sealed game box I got last year for only $40...Well, I guess that's a good price. It was vintage, it had cool box art, the cards had awesome old D&D art on it, I was a sucker, what can I say! I bet if my wife were an old flabby hag tatted up with old D&D art with a Ral Partha or Citadel Miniatures brand on her, I'd have gone for it! Thankfully, she's quite beautiful and not at all hag-like, nor old and flabby. The point is, I love vintage stuff! Anyway, I'm rambling, here's the pics!

Love these three!

The dwarf is definitely my least favorite...

  I really like these guys. The dwarf is a bit lacking but he's still got some charm. Some people don't like the thief because he's a little small but what he lacks in height he makes up in pure unadulterated codpiece! The other guys are pretty standard fantasy fair but I like that. The elf, however, definitely reminds me of old Citadel GW stuff.

 Until next time bloggers, have a great weekend!
