So my wife and I spent the afternoon painting minis. Yes, you read that right, my wife. She's been playing in our campaign for over 10 sessions now. Her character is a 3rd level hermaphrodite dwarf warrior with a uni-brow named Maudlin. She pretty much knocked the concept of old school character creation out of the park with that one. Remember, this is her first RPG - ever.

Shhhh, she'll kick my ass if she finds out I outed her with these pictures. See we're all a little geeky inside, aren't we?
She did a fantastic job painting her mini, don't you think?

While Christy worked on Maudlin, I painted a Half-orc warrior I picked up for Zach (a future character if his halfling Skwanky gets killed). He asked me to paint it for him so that's what I did.

Hah hah! Maudlin! That's great! I was about to ask "how can you tell if a dwarf is a hermaphrodite?" when I saw that her dwarf mini has no beard and proudly displays his/her "dirty pillows." I always assumed all dwarfs had beards and for all I knew, Gimli was a lady... but what do I know?
ReplyDeleteVery cool, and both are very well painted!
ReplyDeleteWho made the half orc?
Sounds like a very good day.
ReplyDeleteThe minis are from Reaper Miniatures. I really like their selection and molds.
