Games Night: Super Dungeon Explore.

And so another Tuesday night came and it was time to do battle once more.

We opted out of Hero Quest this week as we were starting to get a little burnt out with it and decided to have a couple of rounds of Super Dungeon Explore.

Candy and Cola

Finally, FINALLY I managed to get my grubby little hands on the Candy and Cola figure that was released for Super Dungeon Explore by Soda Pop Miniatures.

YAY!

I've been after this figure since the release of SDE and all my attempts to gain it had ended in disappointment, Either the price was too high (£20+ for a single figure is too much) or the store that had it in stock didn't ship to this side of the pond. So imagine my glee when Cool Mini Or Not got a restock.

SOLD!

Super Dungeon Explore Dwelling Monsters

As a group we play Super Dungeon Explore a lot, we all think the game is awesome, and I personally  rant and rave about it all the time. Soda Pop Miniatures really excelled when it came to getting this little gem out, it was well worth the wait. We have noticed however that the game can be a tad linear, a few things don't make sense and a couple of things could be better.

So, we sat down and made up some extra rules just to give us a little more... urm... stuff.

Anyhow...
 

With me being anal and the rest of the group all remembering the same rules in different ways I decided to sit down and make a pretty PDF rule set that contains all the changes that we use, and a set of new monster cards to cover the Dwelling Monsters.

See, looks really pretty.

First of all we have added Dwelling Monsters. The two sets of beasties that came in the box are very nice, but after a few games they don't really offer anything new and it starts to get a little stale. So we added some new critters and a Special Character. For the most part the new Monsters can be represented by pretty much anything that fits the bill, a bats a bat afterall. The Monster that was a hard figure to find was Barry, I use a Dwarf Wereshark from Reaper Miniatures represent him on the board.

These are what we use for the Dwelling Monsters.
Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer Fantasy.

This is Reapers Dwarf Wereshark.
Great Figure.

And yes, I do intend to base and paint them.... 

As well as the Dwelling Monsters we've added a search option, when you enter a room you can search it. You may get some goodies or some nasties may jump out at you. Also Line of sight, has been blocked by the big stuff and you can cause more that one wound per attack.

Barry. He's an asshole.

I have uploaded the complete set of additional rules we use to Boardgamegeek and 4share so you can download them and take a look. The cards are on the file and are scaled and ready to be printed out for use.

Feed back would be nice on these rules, it would be nice to hear other peoples oppinions and if anyone has any ideas for more monsters.

Well, I hope you enjoy em.

Painted Miniatures

I've had a couple of Emails find their way into my inbox, which is odd considering how many followers I have. Anyhow, yes, a couple of Emails asking if I do actually paint anything and is this a Blog about me ranting on about what I would like to do.

So, here a few pics of some of the mini's that I have managed to finish.

Super Dungeon Explore is my current squeeze at the moment I love the game. These two were my first attempts at painting the Chibi styled mini's. I wanted bold highlighting to give them the anime feel that I think they deserve. Overall I was really happy with them. I just have another eight heroes and a mass of bad guys to go ^.^

Deeproot Druid and Angry Bear from Super Dungeon Explore.

Again but from behind this time.

This Skaven Packmaster Skweel Gnowtooth is the Coach of my Blood Bowl team. I wasn't overly happy with some of the highlighting on the Rats but overall I could live with the finished result. I tend not to be a perfectionist when it comes to painting, so if something looks good enough, it's good enough ^.^
 

Packmaster Gnawtooth.

I was very pleased how the copper of his armour turned out.

Now this guy I have had for about fifteen years. I only painted him a little while ago though. The mini had a weird Monks head on to of his own head which I really didn't like so I took it off and cleaned up the area. I love the sculpt on this fella, I think its from the old Talisman range but I'm not sure. He's used in Talisman now though ^.^

This is my Favourite miniature. Its a simple Paint job, but I love it.

Knight Templar. Such a beautiful Miniature.



So there you have it, I know I'm not the greatest Painter in the world and these are only three in a sea miniatures. But they are some of my favourites. I will post updates of new projects and NEW finished models, but I don't want to fill this blog up with pictures of miniatures I painted years ago.

One of the reasons that I have restarted this blog is to help me move forward in my hobby, not to help me dwell on the old stuff that I use to do.

Thanks for looking,
