Popular Post Thoramel Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 I've been slowly working through this little adventure add on from the last bones kickstarter for a couple of months and finally got the final piece finished so thought I'd go ahead and show it off. I'm really enjoying these little adventure sets and hope that there are a few more in the next kickstarter, especially if there are some that are more Chronoscope in nature. When painting them I find myself coming up with all manner of campaigns they'd fit into. Which, after several decades of coming up with ideas for our group's games, is kind of helpful. First up are the weird standing stones. These are pretty fun and should work in a variety of settings. Just one thing, that poor skeleton chained up... Did they chain him up there with no clothes on and let him die, or did they stick an already stripped skeleton up there as some sort of basic anatomy for cultists class? You'd think there'd be the remains of clothing or some leftover squishy bits still stuck on if they put someone up there and let them die like that. Next is this bone pit thingy. This may have fewer uses on the table than the rest of the set but is still my favorite piece. One of the ideas I had for gaming when painting this was to imply to my players that there is something valuable under the bones to see if anyone is willing to root around in the "Charnel Pit." Here's the hero and the victim. I couldn't help thinking while painting that she's not there to rescue him, more likely she just fought her way to this point so she can break it off with him face to face... "I can see you have some unresolved issues with your ex. And I don't feel good about getting involved in that. So you know, if you ever get this behind you, maybe give me a call? Good luck!" Here are the cultists. Apparently they are from the "Cult of No Tan Lines." Even though I don't think they violate any board rules as everything is technically covered, I'm still going to throw them behind a spoiler in case folks don't want to see a bunch of half naked cultists. Spoiler And here's a couple of action shots from my WFH desk because it doesn't fit in my little light box. First, the whole set as you'd expect to see it. And next with the bone pile removed. I wanted a little more use out of the pit piece, so at the last minute I added a poorly painted portal to elsewhere. Which may just be the prize my players will find hidden under the bones! Cheers all and thanks for looking! 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigel Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Splendid culty tableau! Multipurpose bone pit is a good call. 2 hours ago, Thoramel said: Did they chain him up there with no clothes on and let him die, or did they stick an already stripped skeleton up there as some sort of basic anatomy for cultists class? You'd think there'd be the remains of clothing or some leftover squishy bits still stuck on if they put someone up there and let them die like that. Well, one possibility is the local birds are huddled cozily in fabric-lined nests. The other...well, it sure looks like the cult doesn't care for pants or shirts on principle. 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fencig Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 very nicely painted, (like all your stuff). Question- where is the Ghoul Queen? maybe off to the local litchfield having a little snack 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in this cult "Ghoul Queen" is just a title like "Grand Poobah" or "Worshipful Master" or some such nonsense. Of course that means someone is going to be pretty surprised when a real ghoul queen comes along. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solomon_kane Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Beautiful work (if I can use beautiful to describe the scene of a multi-sacrifice)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
