Skulltoppers

 


I was in a shop called The Range the other day and a found a little bag of 'wooden bobbins' for £1.29. I figured I could pretty easily get my funs worth out of that. Two of those bobbins were used in my 'evil columns' seen here. I glued the bobbin to a Hirst Arts flagstone and then glued a Hirst Arts skull on top. I primed them black, and brushed on a couple of layers of grey. I liked them, but they looked a tad plain, so I painted some 'strange runes' around the rims. Better, but still slightly lacking in visual interest. So, I added a bit of blood, including a bloody hand print. Now, I think they look pretty good. They are generally going to be dungeon dressing, so I don't want them to stand out too much, but I think they'll will really help mark important rooms, and might get some special rules here and there.

I also painted up a skeleton archer to give my undead a bit of ranged threat (though not much, skeletons aren't know for their aim).

I've got several more dungeon tiles in progress as well, so things are moving along!
