Goblin Pirates

 These are from Meridian Miniatures, and were sculpted by Kev Adams. They were fun to paint!

I figure they can be used for sci-fi as well as for fantasy games.

Starcadia Quest Heroes

 I guess these were the first minis I finished this year. I hadn't realized that, until I saw time stamps on pics and posts. I have prepped quite a few other minis, mostly from various Kickstarter projects, but hadn't gotten any further with any of those.

At any rate, here are various heroes/characters from the game, Starcadia Quest, which I have not played. I mainly like the minis from the game.

Silent But Deadly

 Sci-fi halfling snipers from Warblade Miniatures Kickstarter.

I love these little guys and how they look like some of the early GW/Citadel fantasy halflings. Funny, cartoonish, and not very "realistic", just the way I like them. I think they fit in well with other minis of this style, such as the space pirate orks I painted recently, or old school GW space goblins. A bit of whimsy for "grim dark" science fiction.

All 12 together. Should have been a baker's dozen. 😄

Night Goblins from Warblade Miniatures

 I wasn't sure what colors I wanted to use, so first I thought I'd test a few ideas and settle on which one to go with. But then I decided to keep them all and just go with variations. They didn't need to all wear the same colors of robes and hoods.

Did I need more goblins? No, not really. ha ha

Orc Space Pirates Raid Again

 I finally finished painting these "Orc Space Pirates by Renegade 93, from the hands of legendary sculptor Kev Adams", as the Kickstarter put it. Just a bit late for Orctober. They are lovely metal miniatures, and just what one might expect from Kev Adams. Fun.

Frog Knights and Tadpolearms

 These frog minis are from Tom Mason. They are clean sculpts, like the goblins and gnomes I got from his company. Cute, too, and fun to paint.

Map Time

 I drew this little map for myself, for a little RPG called Under Hill, By Water, written by Josh McCrowell.

The game includes a map for players to add to and draw on, but I wanted to make my own map from scratch, for the fun of it.

I created a couple of characters, too. Miss Larkspur Longshot, a fletcher, who resides at number 1 on the map; and Mister Olliver "Ollie" Underfoot, an antiquarian, who resides at number 13 on the map. The proprietor of the Whistle & Pig is Chuffnell "Chuffy" Alesmith. The inn is renowned for the quality of its stews.

That's as far as I have gotten. The title page of the game says "This game is about capturing your aunt's escaped ornery goat", "This game is about growing the biggest turnip for the Harvest Festival", "This game is about gathering rare ingredients for a birthday feast", "This game is about being simple and silly". It's not designed as a solo RPG, and there are mentions of a GM and other players, but I'll see what can do solo.

ETA: I played a little bit of a Walking Holiday, an expansion to the above game, and drew up this map for a little jaunt by 3 halflings around some of the area surrounding the village.
