I've been doing some rebasing on our Crystal Collapse miniatures over the Christmas period so they have the sculpted bases I designed for them to use in the game. I'll put new pics up with better photos soon, but for now check out gamefound.com/en/projects/... to get your hands on these guys!

The Cult of the Dragon, followers of Tiamat - I have a group of 5 of them who are like ninja assassin badasses and they're led by this Cult Fanatic Altis. I love this model and I surprised myself with the paint job considering it's essentially monochrome!

Sad story here - I originally painted 10 of these guards like this and I love the whole Teal/Orange colour combo on them, but I had to relocate my PC from the office into the kid's playroom and accidentally knocked a box of stuff over which fell on them and destroyed the other 5! 😭😭

I love these guys and they were great fun to paint! Captain Zodge's Flaming Fist Mercenary squad! Profile wise in the DIA they are "Veterans" who come with a longsword and splintmail, so I made sure that's what they were equipped with when I sculpted them! I love the blue on them!

One of my favourite miniatures I've painted in recent years! My halfling singer "Pinkie" - partly inspired by the singer Pink, with hints of Freddie Mercury in her outfit! I love the simplicity of her and the bright vibrant colours, plus shes absolutely tiny so thats an achievement in itself!

Christmas bauble!
Sharing an old piece. The bauble has a 25mm diameter socket in the base so you can put whatever mini you want in there. There's an also a little hole in the top to pop a fairy light through for illumination! :-)

A few more of my painted minis to show off! This one is King Garmond from the Kingdom of Talarius, and his design was based loosely on Ezekiel from the Walking Dead.
