dude Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Christmas present for our GM that was taking us through the underdark series in our HackMaster campaign. Dude. It's called a mindflayer. (I'm assuming that mindflayer is a copywrited or trademarked name?) Again, the only modification needed was a new base. mind.bmp mind2.bmp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 It's called a mindflayer. (I'm assuming that mindflayer is a copywrited or trademarked name?) Yes, as are a number of other names from the Monster Manual, Fiend Folio, etc. Plus some character races from the newer editions. Very colorful interpretation on this one. I painted mine much more dark and evil looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hey, he looks awfully familiar... (that line won't make sense anymore if I ever change my avatar) Nice job. Always glad to see another one of these guys painted up. I had fun painting this guy too. Less fun sealing him, but that's another story. Yeah, there are a bunch of D&D monsters that have copyrighted names. Here at Reaper you'll find bathalians (not illithids/mind flayers), phase cats (not displacer beasts), and various other familiar-looking but not familiar-sounding creatures. For some reason though, they don't make tailless dragon people with hair-scales (D&D4e too new maybe? Oh well, I still prefer 3.5 anyhow...) Not that familiar with Hackmaster - is it a copy of an older D&D edition? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere. If so, that possibly has something to do with why they're allowed to use that name for everyone's favourite tentacle-faced brain eaters while nobody else outside D&D can. I wish my players would give me minis. I'd even take them unpainted... :o) Kang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Killer Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The purple came out very nice, for a brain sucker it looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much closer than those, and it's asking for a lawsuit. ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakandara Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 My miniatures obsession is probably not at a healthy level... ~v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
