dok's D&D minis customs

[dok]

My customs using figures other than the D&D Miniatures line are found HERE.

Jandar:

Spoiler Alert!

Ymir:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Frost Titan from Legendary Evils. The figure can be easily rebased onto a double-hexer, or the base can be trimmed to fit on a double-hexer.

Griffon Cavalry:

Spoiler Alert!

Sort of a Theracus/Wyvern combo. The "controlling player places" rule solves the hot lava death issue, more or less, without handicapping the power too much.

The figure is the Griffon Cavalry from War of the Dragon Queen. It can be easily rebased onto a DW9k-style base.

Utgar:

Spoiler Alert!

Zombie Hulk: SoV approved - The Book of the Zombie Hulk

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Zombie Hulk from Savage Encounters. It fits very well on a narrow double-hexer.

Zettian Marauder:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Blood Golem of Hextor from Unhallowed. The base itself can easily be trimmed to a single-hexer, or the figure can be remounted on a DW9k base.

Obsidian Champion:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Magma Brute.

Mallok:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the "Drider Fanglord" from the Savage Encounters release. It can be rebased onto a D3 base with a bit of work.

Gargoyle: /

Spoiler Alert!

This is the Gargoyle, available unpainted in the Castle Ravenloft set, or as the Earth Element Gargoyle from the Blood War release.

Dragon Hound:

Spoiler Alert!

Rage Drake from the "Desert of Desolation" D&D Miniatures release. It is also available as an unpainted miniature from the Wrath of Ashardalon game. It fits easily on a standard peanut base.

Vydar:

Spoiler Alert!

Major X23:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Iron Golem Juggernaut from Lords of Madness. It can be rebased exceptionally easily onto a narrow double-hexer base, or the existing base can be trimmed to fit on a double-hexed space.

Pugilitron:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Hammerer from Blood War.

Aquilla:

Spoiler Alert!

Crag:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Earth Titan from Against the Giants. The base can be trimmed to fit on a double-hexer, or the figure can be remounted on a wide double-hexer.

Deepwater Warrior:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the "Water Archon Shoal Reaver" from the Lords of Madness release.

Reilor:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Astral Giant, also from the Lords of Madness release. The figure is on a large base and is practically bonded to that base. The simplest approach is to just cut the edge off of the base with a pair of scissors; the base can easily be trimmed down to the size of a DW9k base or smaller.

Valkrill:

Spoiler Alert!

Skeletal Cyclops:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Skeletal Cyclops from Savage Encounters. It is easily rebased onto a double-hexer.

Nidhog:

Spoiler Alert!

The original figure is the Dracolich from the War of the Dragon Queen release. It is the same sculpt as the unpainted "Gravestorm Dracolich" from the Castle Ravenloft board game. The base can be easily trimmed into a Heroscape double base with wire cutters.

Minotaur Pit Fighter:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Savage Minotaur from Savage Encounters. It can be remounted on a classic medium base, or the existing base can be trimmed to fit on a single-hex space.

Sir Chorin:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure is the Centaur War Hulk from Blood War. It is easily rebased onto a double-hexer.

The mini itself is a little over 6" tall and very unbalanced on its large round base. I think it would be better off on a large base. I mounted a pile of pebbles off center on its base to keep it standing up-right while using it for DDM.

Wow, 6 inches. So cool. I should really get one of these.

I suppose it would be much easier to counterbalance with a long base, although I suppose a single base could work if you weighted it heavily (lead weights on the base or somesuch). I like the idea of using a single-spaced base if it's possible, but it might not be practical.

[dok]

Two squads. I don't own the figures, so if anyone wants to comment on whether these figures have something approaching the same scale, please do.

Spoiler Alert!

Yes, a huge squad. I think it's fairly comparable to the Fen Hydra.



There's one other Drider, so if one of these is out of scale I could always sub that one in.

Those drow would look fantastic in any drow army. I also like that they follow the darkness/poison theme of the drow. One thing I might do is switch out the disengage for a web attack. +rep

[Frylock]

Just so you know, the wording for the Trample Special Attack says Ice Shard. I'm sure you just overlooked that in the copy/pasting.

I like the survivability on the giants, though. I think they could stay alive long enough to justify the points. And the Driders should p'own heroes, with Estivara backing them up. I like them both.

[DeathByUtgar]

nice customs

[Shedim Kabal]

Wait... Can't Driders stealth fly?

[bmaczero]

Nice customs! I like that Griffon unit - I mean, wow, six inches!? Intimidating :P.

I updated the Griffon Cavalry. I switched it from champion to scout (champion really set up some ridiculous potential with bonding) and dropped the cost from 120 to 100. (I'm also putting my somewhat improved Gimp skills on display. )



Despite removing the bonding potential, this figure still feels like it would be useful in a lot of armies. The ability to carry an ally on the way in, then wreak Wyvern-esqe havoc once at the front, is a pretty nice combo.

Venoc Warlord - 120
Venoc Vipers x7 - 400
Griffon Cavalry x1 - 500, 24 hexes

I like it.

[Hidicul]

All I can say KC is that I don't want to be on the other side of that army, can you say ouch? lol
