Pictures of Minis

[mozi470]

My kids and I have been enjoying Sid Meier's Pirates this week. I thought I'd try my hand at resizing and cutting out some flats from Pirate sets 1, 2, and 3--plus a duelist from one of the fantasy packs. It's a bit of work, but by combining them with some free paper hex bases I found online, I like how they turned out, and they look especially nice in the paper village I've been creating. I love the triagonals, but the flats are a bit more portable. I may have to try this with some of the fantasy sets.

Pic looks great Mozi.
You did a great job on the figures.

You also did a great job on the terrain from the looks of it.
The buildings and road Mozi, are they:
1) Tom Tullis of FDG's Dragonshire;
2) Denny Unger of WWG's Himmelveil;
3) Dave Graffam of DGM's Medieval Buildings
terrain?
Just curious.

The buildings and roads are all from FDG's Dragonshire Deluxe set. I'm still growing my paper modeling skills, but they are nice to work with. Supportive community, too.

Very very nice indeed!

I have a Desert Fortress from papermodels.at that i made up some time ago (http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php? ... 20640&it=1) that i should dig out and photograph with some of the Desert Warriors set.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!

Here are a few pictures from a game I did today with my wife. We were testing out some rules for a new miniature game I am designing.

Great pictures! I have to admit I've got the urge to do a little wargaming now after seeing those!!

I mount cropped Arion Games images onto 1" diameter wooden discs/counters available at hobby stores (for instance, in bags of 7 or 8 ).

I use a label making program (available from WorldLabel.com) that allows me to print up to 63 one-inch diameter images. The software also allows me to print anywhere on the page, so I could theoretically have 63 different images, all of which would fit on a 1 inch disc. I can also place text and a numerical counter. You'll see that on the images.

After the image is printed, I use a 1" diameter hole punch (also available at hobby/craft stores) and punch the images out. I used to use 1" circular label paper with adhesive backing to print on. That saved a couple of steps (punching and mounting with either glue or double-sided tape), but my printer is contrary and often doesn't print "between the lines" as it were...

This scale works well with 1 inch = 5 feet (or 1.5 meters) scale common in roleplaying games. The 5 feet represents the area a person would occupy - his/her "personal space" as it were.

Want to use a larger figure, such as the Jotnar from the Vikings set? No problem! Scale it up and put it on a 2" diameter disc to represent 10 feet! Works great for horses, too: mount a horse image on a 2" counter and you can place any other counter right on top to denote that it is riding the hose.

I could go on and on about this process; it has revolutionized how I game. If you want to know more, just e-mail me at FASAfan (@) hotmail.com.

Here are some I've done: Saxons (ARG017) versus Celts (ARG028)!!

CTW = Celtic Warrior
SXT = Saxon Thegn
SXF = Saxon Fyrdsman

You may notice that I modified one of the Celtic Warrior images to make a Pict out of him (blue paint on his face). I've done some others, but they aren't mounted yet.

If it weren't for the .ppt files, I couldn't get a good enough resolution to do this. So, thanks Graham!!

These are really nicely done! Very cool.

These are really nicely done! Very cool.

Thanks! I enjoy making them - very relaxing.

Hope you don't mind, but I saved the images of your halfling and rogue modifications. They will be nice additions to my collected artwork =) I really like the halfling.

Do you have any more modifications?

Two elves and a beorning for my Middle Earth game, printed on cardboard and with paper binderclips as bases 19mm.
The battle mat used is a milliemeter page on which I drew a few trees and some rocks (top view).
Maybe you might recognise the beorning which is included in one of the Arion Games sets!!!

Hello! I am really sorry but all pictures are not available for the preview! Where can I see them? Any ideas?

When i moved webhosts, all of the preview figures i used to post ended up being lost. However, now that the sets have both flash and pdf previews on the RPGNow/DTRPG site, these are not really necessary any more as you can preview the whole set. At some point i should really go back through and update descriptions, but there never seems to quite be enough time for everything...

Yesterday's session's pics somewhere in Mirkwood...

[JohnK]

Just experimenting with the images of the paper minis and thought of sharing it here (maybe someone thinks of using it in a way). I will post it on my instagram and facebook page (john kapsalis art) also, as a way of promoting my work. Isn't it nice??

It's always cool to see that kind of contaptions to play RPGs anywhere at any moment! My friends and I played chess like that in school and I'll see if I can find it, but I do remember seeing a picture of US soldiers/Marines (hell if I know) playing D&D with scrap items as figs and a sharpie-scribbled metal panel as a mat in 1991, waiting for Operation Desert Storm to start....
