For my online business, we cut lots of wood and leave lots of pieces in the scrap bin. Well, we just processed a beautiful seasoned branch of oak and cut it every which way right up to the very last piece, the spot where it was cut from the body of the tree. For some reason I spent a few minutes looking at the piece and decided to bring it with me to clean up. As you can see in the pics it cleaned up but I wasn't sure what to do with it. So, I had just posted an ash burl to my website and suggested in the description making it into a treasure horde for your dragon. And I realized what this piece was... a broken column sitting amongst the dwarven horde lost to a dragon. As you can see below, I painted the middle to look like solid rock. I left it slightly exaggerated so the paint could be seen under the gold and artifacts I was planning to place on it. Next step, add the booty to the piece. Which is going to require making some treasure bits, golden and silvery pieces with a smattering of platinum. The last question is, being a dwarven treasure, would you use coins, bullion nuggets, or both for the piled mass?

It's been a while but finally got my Orc Horde done from Heroquest!

So here's my Ogre Command. While I crop photos, please look at this photo of my assembled horde, representing the Forgotten Realms mercenary group known as the chill. I still have orcs, hobgoblins, and more ogres to paint, so this group photo will get updated periodically in the appropriate show off thread. Edited for WIP link.

A dragon, who happened to also be the commander of a goblin horde, decided that, in order to increase the golbins' usefulness when not fighting, she would pimp them out to all and sundry. This turned out to be a great idea! Lots of adventurers were interested in a bit of goblin "strange". Who knew!? Soon, her coffers had swelled immeasurably. When asked about the secret to her success, she would routinely reply, "It's not hard. I whored my horde to increase my hoard! Seee what happens when I think too much about how to make my dragon hoard. It's bad I tellya! BAAAAAD!
