Cobalt Reach Player's Map So Far + Image Dump

This is the Cobalt Reach players' map so far. They are traveling east to west.
This is me scrubbing my hard drive.

Pretty Pretty Lumps of Tin/Lead Alloy

I don't collect miniatures but I do kinda accumulate them. Especially since Reaper drove a dumptruck full of them up to our house so we could use them in the TV show.

Anyway, I find a good mini really helpful for thinking up adventure seeds. Even ones I don't own.

Some of Rackham Miniature's human and elf stuff is too swirly tribal-tattooey for me, but a lot of it-especially the goblin stuff--is just kinda perfect. All these guys are somewhere in Cobalt Reach or Gaxen Kane...


That guy's pretty neat, swirljob aside. And this Madball/towergolem thing is wonderful...
Meanwhile, in fake Hungary, I got a vampire war I gotta throw together...

"Valued customers, Gamezone apologizes for being too busy blowing your mind with awesome Albrecht-Durer-esque equestrian miniatures to think up a decent name for our company"



Fuck yeah warboar.

Monsieur Ultraforge Plague Demon is giving me some wonderful ideas about radiation poisoning.
This thing is insanely expensive but hey lets look at it anyway:

The ones below are from the Old School fetishists at Otherworld. Their humanoids tend to be too stiff for my taste but some of their beasts have a stubby, Kirbylike vitality to them--I love how the one frog's tongue is all sticking out.


The same goes for inscrutable French radbongfun merchants at Fenryll: they make goofy people, but awesome monsters.

COME HERE I HAVE TO GIVE YOU THE WORST HUG!

This guy below's for something called Kobolds Ate My Baby. The size and diversity of D&D-related fandom is evidenced by the fact that I have no fucking clue what that fucking is. I do want to kill some PCs with whatever it is, however.Enigma has some pretty impressively sculpted minis--mostly in a kind of tattery gothic style.



These freaks are from Ammon...


Aaaaand some relatively new releases from Reaper...
(You can tell they're sneaking because their ears are down.)

One of the nicest Jabberwocks I've ever seen. Kinda Fin Fang Foomish...
Evil Dr Fate ...

"What do you mean my weapon is useless for both piercing and slashing?"

This rockfist guy looks like he has spiky kung fu...
Interesting how cleanly Wayne Reynolds' style translates to three dimensions...
"Are we sure we want to do bad things?"
(in unison) "Yyyyeeessssss!"
This guy reminded me of Dwarfland...
