A detailed account of my various commission/hobby projects.
Kingdom Death – Remember Sharktapuss? That’s what the Sunstalker reminds me of, at least the silhouette feels very similar to that tentacle monster. I really don’t have words for this guy, it’s just so weird I’m sure that it’s a difficult beast to take down with your hunting party.
Read MoreKingdom Death – The Green Knight is a special expansion for Kingdom Death: Monster. It requires you to craft a ridiculous amount of gear from several expansions in order to create the “ulitmate” armor.
Read MoreKingdom Death – The expansions for this game seem to be never ending. Which I suppose is a good thing for me. My latest foray into the Kingdom brings the Dragon King and Manhunter expansions across my table.
Read MoreKingdom Death – Slowly but surely i’m working my way through all of my clients expansion packs for Kingdom Death. Once you’ve played through the core game there are a ton of expansions that add new monsters and encounters, most of them slot into a particular Lantern Year and replace one of the core monsters. If you manage to defeat the monster and harvest the right materials it gives your settlement access to some new tools and gear you can craft. It’s a pretty elegant system for incorporating new material.
I haven’t personally played with this monster yet but based on the model and accessories that come with it It appears the Flower Knight may have some type of musical theme. As with the other knights there is also several weapons included on the sprue to deck out survivors with new gear.
Kingdom Death – The Gold Smoke Knight is the newest Monster to grace my painting table. I believe this guy slots into a Kingdom Death Campaign as a replacement (or after-boss boss) for the Watcher. I could be wrong as it’s been quite some time since I was able to convince my group to play something other than Warhammer 40k.
The survivors are painted in the same manner as the others I’ve done. Pretty straightforward with some minor glow effects. I really like the variety of survivors you have once all the kits have been assembled. Being able to represent any item card in the game on your model is also a cool concept that’s harder to pull off.
Kingdom Death – With these kits I believe I’ve finally finished up my clients core set of Kingdom Death: Monster. The armor kits are one of the most difficult things to build, not because the kit is hard to follow but more so because until you’ve played the campaign you don’t know how to best arm them or what you might make during the course of the game. So to take best advantage of the versatility of the kits you’d build a new model after each session. WHICH IS INSANE!
The more reasonable thing to do is build the complete kits and arm them to look cool. Then they can represent the model without having to BE the exact model. This is especially true when having the models painted by a commission artist and preparing to have everything done before starting the game.
The first kit in this batch is the Rawhide kit. Your settlement should be able to start crafting these items fairly early in the game. I stuck with a simple khaki and bone color scheme for these to reflect the White Lion which is the monster that will provide most of the raw materials to make the stuff the survivors are decked out in.
After you’ve built some structures tanning leather helps move your rawhide into a more durable good.
If you can take out the screaming antelope making this set will help your settlement succeed and thrive.
Eventually you’ll face the Phoenix and if you are able to get the right parts making a nifty birdman suit keeps you going in the right direction.
After fighting the big bad watcher you can craft a sweet set of armor.
Kingdom Death – Slowly but surely I'm wrapping up all the models in the Kingdom Death: Monster core box as well as the expansions. Of course these aren't my own models but it's nice to put some paint to them finally, when I get to finish my own it should be quick with all the practice I'm getting.
Read MoreKingdom Death – My own Kingdom Death campaign seemed to have faltered after the Screaming Antelope murdered most of my party, and since that day most of my play group has been interested in other things so I haven't had a chance to go back into the boutique nightmare horror realm that is Kingdom Death.
Read MoreKingdom Death – The Lion God and Slenderman are painted. I think the photos speak for themselves.
Read MoreKingdom Death Monster – Yes I still haven't had time to paint my own set from this amazing game, however I do have a client who is slowly feeding me her complete set to paint up.
Read MoreKingdom Death – Slowly I've been getting a few models at a time to paint for the Kingdom Death Monster game. The game is really good, if not unforgiving, and should get better when the 1.5 book comes out.
Read MoreKingdom Death – If you want to play a challenging game that has character development and civilization building Kingdom Death can scratch that itch. If your party manages to survive the various encounters with the nightmarish monsters that inhabit the world, they can scavenge the parts left over from the encounter to create gear, weapons and more to help them survive the next encounter. The cool thing about this boutique game is the core set includes miniatures for all the things you can make so you can actually build your characters as they are armed.
