I received this 3D-printed resin "Plague Toad" a week or so ago as a freebie from an Etsy seller; it's clearly intended to be something affiliated with Nurgle, the Chaos god of disease in Games Workshop's various Warhammer properties, but I decided to do something different with it, using the variety of textures on the figure to have some fun with washes and glazes in colors I don't use all that often. I wanted something unearthly and alien-looking, suitable for a future game of Majestic 13.
Monster profiles in Majestic 13 are intentionally left vague to allow you to fill them with whatever fantasy or science fiction figures you might have handy; I try to use things with wings or other means of achieving flight for profiles that have flying listed as a mode of locomotion, but beyond that I'm happy to be extremely loose with it.
That being said, I'm thinking I'll treat this as a "Poisoned Lasher" in game - a monster with extended reach due to tentacles, a poison attack, and the ability to grab player characters and drag them around the map inflicting additional damage. I think he's a perfect fit for that description!

ReplyDeletewhich Etsy seller did you get him from? kinda curious what else they have. would definitely use something like that in my D&D adventures.

DeleteI got a coupon as a thank you after placing the order I'd received this figure in, so I just got a box of additional monsters from them the other day as well, including a few bonus prints.
bonus figures are a plus. sounds like a good salesman.
Deletei'll give them a look, thank u.
Great looking monster!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThe painting on this has come up a treat, Bill!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Lots of good texture to take advantage of, that's for sure.
DeleteOh, pretty cool, I love that palette and how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber! I was a little unsure at first about the green on the back but I think it works.
DeleteGreat stuff! I didn't get around to doing Majestic 13, though I thought about it more than once!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I think M13 is on the more complicated end of the spectrum of games I enjoy, but it's definitely a fun time.
