Breldon of Fallbarrow

Painted up my first miniature from Otherworld.  I love the miniature.  This is definitely a first rate product.  Sorry about the bad lighting.  No excuses other than I suck at photography and it was off of my iPhone camera. Now that I look at this mini, I'm not to pleased with the base. I think I'll re-do it.

Breldon hails from the relatively unknown hamlet of Fallbarrow.  He inadvertently began his career as an adventurer after being captured by a goblin hunting party and was sold to a drow slaver. He miraculously escaped after several months of captivity and made his way to the surface. Barely alive, he was found delirious and malnourished by a hermit and nursed back to health.  The hermit nursed Breldon back to health and allowed him to help in blacksmith shop as he regained his strength. The grizzled, old blacksmith compensated the former captive by forging him a sword and armor.  

The fighter has since taken to the road in search of adventure... 

 

Nostalgic - OD&D and Otherworld Miniatures

As I mentioned I've been gaming since I was 13.  It's been thirty five years and some of the best memories were sitting around a table, playing old school Dungeons & Dragons with my friends.  During those years, I collected some pretty cool miniatures (mostly from Grenadier) and some of my favorites where the dungeon-crawling heroes armed to the teeth with weapons and outfitted with packs, sacks and pouches.  But those miniatures seemed to be rare.  Until now. I found a miniature company in the UK that produces some incredible 28mm lead miniatures just like the old days.  What I love most about these figs are: 1.) The adventurers come with backpacks and bedrolls, AND 2.) The sculpts (monsters as well) are all based on TSR's First Edition AD&D.  Needless to say, I ordered a few.  I'll let you know how they look for real. 

For now, head over to Otherworld Miniatures and check out their catalog.
