The players first ran into the nice, pretty witch who was being blamed for the\u00a0disappearance of some children. After a quick visit to her house in the woods, they had a hard time believing she was anything but\u00a0 a nice lady. Turns out she was\u00a0really an evil hag in disguise. The good witch is Reaper&#8217;s Selmarina (Reaper 02682), the bad one is Wyrd&#8217;s Zoraida the Hag, from their Malifaux line. The gravestone on Selmarina is from a GW zombie sprue, the one on Zoraida was part of the original base of the scarecrow, below. The pumpkins are from Reaper&#8217;s pumpkins and jack o&#8217;lanterns set (Reaper 02992). The stakes on Zoraida&#8217;s base are from Lance &amp; Laser.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0133.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-163\" title=\"DSCN0133\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0133-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0133-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0133-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0134.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-164\" title=\"DSCN0134\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0134-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0134-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0134-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After finding out the witch really was to blame, the party returned ready for a fight. They got one from her guardian golem, Gourdy. They were forewarned, however,\u00a0by her unwilling servant, Cobb the scarecrow, who travels with them still. Cobb is a RAFM Shrieking Scarecrow (RAFM 03856), while Gourdy is Reaper&#8217;s Rotpatch, Pumpkin Golem (Reaper 03377). Cobb&#8217;s post is scratch-built, and the leaves are from Hudson and Allen studios.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0140.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-165\" title=\"DSCN0140\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0140-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0140-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0140-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The players ran into these spooky ghosts while plundering&#8230; er, I mean exploring a tomb. The one on the left is a Reaper Spectral Minion (Reaper 14327) mounted on a Malifaux graveyard base. The others are from an OOP GW Spirit Host. They were all designed to fit on one base, but I separated them and individually based them. Nothing particularly impressive about the paint job, but it looks ghostly enough for me. I was tempted to paint the spirit hosts ghosts as the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ghosts from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vh84RAgdcvc\">The\u00a0Scooby-Doo Show S1 E15: The Ghost of the Bad Humor Man,<\/a> but decided against it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0141.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-166\" title=\"DSCN0141\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0141-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0141-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0141-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0142.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-167\" title=\"DSCN0142\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/gaming\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0142-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0142-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/angrypiper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/DSCN0142-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last are some odds and ends. Nicodem, the Undertaker from Wyrd&#8217;s Malifaux line served a necromancer with a vulture familiar, and was the very first &#8220;boss&#8221; the party encountered in the campaign. I tried to paint him in a monochromatic color scheme, but found it difficult. Still, I like the overall effect. He&#8217;s mounted on a Malifaux graveyard base. Next to him is an old Reaper miniature, Jean-Paul DuChamps, Werewolf (Reaper 02139). He actually never made an appearance in the game, but I included him anyway because I painted him over the last year in between other projects.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Halloween to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of the coming holiday, I&#8217;ve decided to post some spooky-themed fantasy miniatures from my ongoing AD&amp;D 3.5 campaign.
