And while our crew from Part 1 is getting the food set up, the staff of the Wyvern's Head, the local tavern, is preparing refreshments. Friar Stone (brewing consultant and beer enthusiast) and Jock Jockson the Barkeep hoist some furnishings around. Kellerman the brewer starts delivering kegs. (Stonehaven Dwarf Brewer) A couple of the barmaids and tapsters, Poppy Cloverlocks and Mary Muggs, show up to help with the prep work. With the beer and cider ready and the cooks finishing up, we move some food to the bar area. A couple more waitstaff get ready for a busy night schlepping food and ale. (The blonde is from a Nolzur's 2-pack.) Our barkeeps are ready for the rush. And here's the whole jolly crew! (Jock is being as jolly as he gets here.) A round or two with the cooks and suppliers, and let the revelries begin! Good wishes and good feasting to all this harvest season! A few other angles.

I'd used leather brown with an umber wash as a primer on this Irish bartender from the western/savage worlds part of the Chronoscope range. I then thought that the skin tone looked quite good and tried to highlight it up to a black/African American person' s skin. I used a 5050 mix of African Shadow from Scale 75 and Troll Claws from Army Painter. I have no idea what rules I will use (and when...) but am putting together a bit of a crew of the western reaper minis with this chap providing medicinal and room clearance support.

This guy was to experiment on achieving realistic light colors on a fairly smooth surface (the apron in this case). After several different tries I was happy with the result...then like normal he sat on the paint desk for months. So I decided to finish him to low tabletop level and wash him in ArmyPainters midtone shade which led to a big tied mark. But he is good enough for my sons toy box. C&C appreciated.

My gaming group will be starting Temple of Elemental evil in a couple weeks which begins in the village of Hommlet. I asked what I could get started with painting in anticipation of the new adventure and the DM said townsfolk. So trying to finish up all my Bones I townsfolk. The innkeeper/bartender was first. Nothing special here. Inspired by other people's very creamy looking aprons I attempted to do the same. Not as clever as some paint jobs and conversions I've seen of this guy, but my first two minis painted in July so that's something. Anyways, I always appreciate feedback, even critical feedback, and thanks for reading!

My first time doing a mod. It was simple but effective. You like?
