Hi, I’m The Angry Piper. You may remember me from such things as being active in the online hobby community and having a blog, once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus. Another month from hell. I hesitate to say things are getting better, because I said that last month and shit went south again immediately after I did. I’m not one to knock wood; but I’m coming around to the idea of embracing superstition. It can’t hurt, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, I’ve managed to keep up with one challenge, at least: Tom’s #paintanadventuringparty challenge on Instagram. To be honest, if I wasn’t nine for nine already this year, I wouldn’t have bothered. But why break my streak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This bad boy is from Grenadier, a Dark Elf Sorcerer sculpted by the great Julie Guthrie. I’ve decided to call him a wizard for the purpose of the challenge. I also decided to paint him with a bright palette, because who the hell is gonna stop me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had this guy for a while. Since 1988 (or 1989, I can’t make it out). He was even painted once, but he was painted primarily glossy crimson. Spiffy, huh? I stripped him for repaint about a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like I should do something better with the staff, but…nah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the widow’s peak on this guy! Full-on Eddie Munster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture this. Old-school D&D. Your first level Magic-User has 2 hit points and one random spell, and it’s Read Magic. You meet an Owlbear and you die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab some dice and a new character sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, I’m hoping to make a return to normalcy here at Dead Dick’s next month. I still have a lot of Pop Culture miniatures I would like to get to by the end of the year. Thanks for sticking with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
