haldir Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Missed but not forgotten!!! Salvage Operation Part 3 of Ghost of Saltmarsh campaign Again, spoilers for those that are gonna play this one as players, bla bla bla (come on people by now you should know this!!! ) If your utilizing the encounter before the party gets to the ship for the Sahuagin, definitely go with the Bones Tiik for this one as it's 18 (16 regular sahaugin, a baron (the 4 armed one) & a priestess). I guess for the priestess you could use the Champion or get a prepainted one. Unfortunately, the Sea Devil line up from Pathfinder is out of size as their "baron" is just a regular sahuagin & is medium size. If you'd like to mini the dwarf captain, Wolgar Windrunner, there is this guy from Reaper: 3241 & there is a cook in both Bones & DHL (metal). There is 30 dwarves aboard the friendly ship, so best to either get a small amount of dwarf minis or use paper minis. I like dwarves but I don't like them that much! Row boat, various 3d prints + Reaper does have a row boat in it's offerings. Emperor of the Waves (ship rooms) #2 Altar to Lloth Giant Spider: I've using Phase Spiders for my Large size spiders Ettercap: There is one in both Pathfinder Battles & D&D prepainted lines. Reaper has one too. Swarm of spiders: Reaper has em as do the prepainted line ups. #3 Navigator's Room See #2 for these, same creatures, just different amounts. #5 Spider Nest Ettercap (see #2) Giant Wolf Spider: Medium size spider. Nolzur's makes a 3 pack! Swarm of spiders (x6 yah Bones is your friend here!) #6 Food Storage Maw Demons: These are really only in 2 forms, 1) the old metal line up of D&D 3.0 minis & in prepainted form. There is a 3d printed on cults3d as well. Prob more but these are 3 most common ways. A maw demon looks like this: Your gonna need 4 of them. #7 Krell's Cabin (the main bad guy, but he's not here!) #10 Unholy Shrine Krell Grohlg, half-orc druid: Reaper has a 1/2orc druid: 2980 (thou you'll have to remove the bird, kinda odd with him worshipping Lloth & spiders, but you can use these as well Surkar (3043) Ombar (14079). All 3 are "orky" enough & are wielding a staff. Giant Spider: (see above) Roil (Phase Spider), pet: See Giant Spider but make an actual Phase spider #12: Cargo Hold Ghast: Various ghoul/ghast minis are out there. Easy to find. Death of the Emporer Elder Octopus: Be Creative, make your own!! Reaper's Kraken miniature is also a great stand-in!! & that's it for the all at sea adventure! Until next time! Up next: Isle of the Abbey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattnuke Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Haldir - there’s a prepainted maw demon coming out in a week or two from the newest WizKids set. Based on what they are, I’d bet you could get them for a couple bucks a piece on the secondary market. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be awhile till we get to this adventure as we play bi-weekly games for Ghost of Saltmarsh. Is this the Avernus set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Giant Eel could be found from Toob Animals, Safari, Schleich etc. Look for toy companies like this if you can't find a suitable mini. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Update: Looking for some suitable pirate/smuggler minis for tonight's game, I came across a few minis I may use instead. Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh The Sea Ghost: Smugglers: Captain Sigurd “Snake Eyes” I found my captain (helps he's painted ) BARNABUS FROST, PIRATE CAPTAIN SKU: 77132 Bloody Bjorn, a pirate first mate For this guy, I'm gonna go with this guy: BAALBEK OF JALAHANDRA SKU: 02279 For his chain, I've got custom rules for it. Foul Frithoff, a pirate bosun For this guy I'll use the previous deck wizard suggestion: ARVEN SCARHULL, PIRATE CAPTAIN SKU: 03224 Due to he has a parrot on his shoulder. For the game I'll omit the parrot but due to he has one in his cabin, it fits. Punketah, a pirate deck wizard Instead of the mini I suggested earlier, I'm going with this one: RHASIA, ZOMBIE MASTER SKU: 14512 As there is virtuly no female smugglers in this part of the adventure + she kinda gives off that weird vibe that the other sailors avoid & such. 7 crew members (bandits) Salvage Operation: #10 Unholy Shrine Krell Grohlg Chainmail orc druid (subject of a Paint this mini this month idea on the forum here awhile back & LORATH, ORC SHAMAN SKU: 02328 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuldGrump Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 For the crewmen, you may want to look at the plastic Crewmen set for Ghost Archipelago - nice, customizable... but maybe a tad on the small side. Scum and villains suitable for a teeming hive. The Auld Grump 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used him for so many ruffians. Big barrel body bandit/pirate, he comes with a female in a skirt w/sword pack.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 So we are playing Danger & Dunwater next Monday & looking for minis for that game, I suddenly realized Koalinths are aquatic hobgoblins......I've been playing D&D in some form or anther for how many years????!!!! Sigh Downloaded a supplement off DMsGuild yesterday called DM's Resources for GofS. Pretty Cool info. It adds a encounter for the sea part of travel which foreshadows upcoming adventures. It has Sahaugin as the enemy. I'll probably continue to use Slithe as my Sauh stand-ins. Also the pdf has extra maps & info for whatever adventure they are trying to flesh out. Since we have switched to once a month for Ghost of Saltmarsh, updates for this game will be a bit slower then before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the earlier editions of the game, a lot of the aquatic encounters were versions of existing critters. For Koalinth I am using Mantic Naiads - martial and humanoid.

haldir Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yup, it just didnt dawn on me until I read goblinoid in their type description, then it finally clicked. I'll just use existing hobgoblin minis, easier & cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
criticalhit Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) My challenge for Ghosts of Saltmarsh has been finding WYSIWYG minis for the various Lizardfolk and Sahuagin in the second part of the original trilogy. What have ya'll used for those? Edited February 11, 2020 by criticalhit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 The Slithe make for great Sahuaghin. Heck there is even one with a light lure on his head!! (one of new varieties in GoS). Lizardfolk, I just use the various Reaper minis. The Tyrant is perfect for the large size one. While not as big as the Tyrant, Kar Drakar makes for a decent large lizardfolk. He is big for a medium base. For the Chief & Subchief I'm using the older style (DHL 2300s or 2400s Ben Siens style) Again, just look em up using lizardfolk or man here. Shaman (named one, I'm using either: T'kay or 03607 (Shaman)) https://www.reapermini.com/search/lizardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
