Wardrums Aspect of Hextor
I was given the opportunity to paint the trophies for the D&D Miniatures Sealed Championship going on at Gen Con So Cal 2005. This is the first place model, and it's a sneak preview for one of the miniatures in the Wardrums set out in the beginning of 2006. This is pretty much the same sculpture with a better paintjob than what you'd get from the prepainted line. The only change is the base. The figure was removed from the base, where the flexible plastic was reinforced with a thin sheet of plastic card. The slate parts are resin casts of the slate chips made from two different types of sculpty; I wrote an article here: http://www.coolminiornot.com/article/aid/367 A couple of small jewels I picked up from a local rock shop were added to weapon hilts and the belt. They're foilbacks, and work really well at this scale. There is a caravan guard miniature in the base with 6 red-feathered arrows sticking out of his back -- this is a bit of a nod to Hextor's holy symbol. All four trophies were painted in October, 2005. I'm quite honored to have been given the opportunity. This is also my 102nd submission to CMoN.
