Three Batts Studio

I wanted to test a tip I heard about using a printed picture as a backdrop so I grabbed two of my wife's figures. We have Iana on the left and Shamrock on the right. They are made by the Daibadi Production. (Amazon affiliate links) Shamrock can be found Here Iana can be found Here

It's been a while since I picked up the camera and took some photos of toys so when I saw a new TIE fighter from Hotwheels come in at work I had the urge to break out the camera and give it another shot. Pun intended. I didn't really have any decent backdrops to use so I dedided to run an idea by my gaming group and we all took a trip to the nearby duck park. This is the only decent photo of the fighter that I got from the trip. I'll have to look into getting some wires or something to hold up the models so I don't need to keep the very noticable bases in the shot. And now for the best part The Duckies! On our way back to the park entrance we came across some fishies and I managed to grab a shot before they scattered. If you want your own Tie fighter, it can be found here (amazon affiliate link)

Next up on our Creature Feature I give you the Screaming Anttelope. "There was once a fearsome monster that was trained by the Hand to be a steed for the Goblin. However, upon smelling its new master, the monster's mind shattered and it ran into the unknown, foaming at the mouth and biting the noses off the stone faced floor." Official artwork of the Screaming Antelope. In the current edition of Kingdom Death (1.5) the Screaming Antelope is frequently seen as a loot pinata. Many locations in the hit deck grant resources if you score a critical hit so with the right build it is not unreasonable to claim almost the entirety of the resource deck. Blunt weapons such as the club or shield are especially useful due to gaining increased critical threat range on some locations. Unfortunately the antelope like to flee when hit and will often times run across to the other side of the battlefield causing the party to waste time trying to chase it down. At higher levels the...

For our first creature feature I give you everyone's favorite baby faced hippo monster, the Gorm! "One day, great woe fell upon the settlement. Unrelenting storms raged overhead. Out of the squall, a giant beast came to gobble up the strongest and most beautiful, then wandered back into the darkness with a lonesome cry, searching for a mate." Official artwork of the Gorm. While not the most difficult monster to wound in the beginning the Gorm quickly becomes problematic when hitting it causes it to projectile vomit on you dealing wounds that ignore armor to everyone in front of it. The higher level Gorm hunts hit you with permanent injuries, debuffs, and can leave you crippled before you even start the fight. But wait, it gets better. Just having the Gorm expansion in your game causes severe acid thunderstorms that can cause a survivor to ram a stone into their eye socket, severely hinder your settlement's growth, or destroy half of your settlement's reso...

My group has been focusing a lot on Kingdom Death over the past few weeks so almost all progress on my other projects has come to a screeching halt. Hobbying is still being done so there is that at least. For those who haven't heard of it, Kingdom Death in a nutshell is a board game where you build a settlement and fight monsters. The summary from the Kingdom Death wiki describes it as follows: "Kingdom Death: Monster is a strategy board game designed to be played by four players. In Kingdom Death: Monster, players take on the role of adventurers who barely survive an attack by a monstrous lion. Forming a settlement nearby, they celebrate this victory with a yearly lantern festival followed by a ceremonial hunt against another monster. The game is a story-driven campaign that takes place over approximately 30 of these "lantern years". Most lantern years are divided into three phases: the hunt, the showdown, and the settlement phase. As a complete game is esti...

So after much procrastination and waiting for things to come in the mail I have finally finished the Witches And Woes crew. I used the Secret Weapon Miniatures Field of Screams Bases (which can be found here ) for all of the crew because I thought the jackolanterns fit quite well with the flaming pumpkin headed sorrows. So now without further ado, I present to you the crew. Sorrows A, B, and C. Next up we have the Poltergeist. The ever loveable Baby Kade. The sweet and sour youth, Candy. And lastly the bringer of misfortune herself, Pandora. This crew was a little challenging to paint at times, but overall I enjoyed painting them. My wife started doing the base coats on a few models and I took over everything else as well as the detail work. Lets just hope that New Model Syndrome doesnt stirke when they play their first match against the Rasputina crew.

Over the last few days I've been getting back into the swing of painting and made some more progress on the Nightmare Before Krampus Day project. On the left we have the newly repainted Poltergiest and on the right we have one of the Sorrows. Both are from the Witches and Woes alternate Pandora Crew.
