A Time for Steam Punk, Or Another Time Traveller

Back to the Time Travellers!

This fellow, labeled Steam Punk Hero from Reaper By Ben Siens. That's two. I'm planning on four.

In The Search For Fact, Not Truth, Or The Archeologist

The Archeologist player character  is from the Timescape expansion. Not a particularly advantageous character game-wise, but a very welcome break from the fantasy minis.

Here I was starting to go a bit overboard with the foliage, the character is getting lost in the base.

The standing stone is just a small stone and the leaves are thin felt cut to shape and covered with PVA glue to help them keep their shape and to prevent them from absorbing too much paint.

This Calls For Divine Intervention, Or The Monk

The Monk player character from the basic game is one of the more powerful characters. With his ability to combine his strength and craft in combat he certainly kicks ass for the lord.







My merry friar is from Reaper by Tre Manor.

A Stab in the Dark, Or The Assassin

The Assassin player character from the basic game.

The mini is from Reaper by Julie Guthrie. I tried to do a light source effect, leaving the back darker. The contrast could have been even bigger to emphasize the leaping from the shadows moment.

Lost Somewhere In Time, Or A Time Traveller

With this atmospheric sculpt from Reaper by Julie Guthrie and Bob Ridolfi, it should be obvious to anyone who knows Talisman, that my Project has nothing to do with gameplay.

Timescape is definitely the best expansion for Talisman. It adds sci-fi characters and space travel to an otherwise pseudo-medieval fantasy game.

One card from Timescape is Time Travellers, a group of chrononauts, whose effect is to transport the player immediately to another space on the Timescape playing board. After that, the card is discarded. So there is absolutely no reason to have an actual playing piece to represent them. I just love the idea so that they have to be included in the Project.

 

So here is one time traveller. I'm going to do a couple more to actually have a small group.

For base, I tried to created the broken marble floor of some long lost temple. Hope you can see that, now that I've pointed it out.

Not Bolted Down Anymore, Or The Orc

This one I also found ready in my collection. The Orc player character from the Adventure expansion.

He is part of a Citadel bolt thrower crew from 1988 by Kevin Adams.

One of the guys is different from the catalogue picture. He had a very appropriatelly positioned piece of flash on his right hand which I left on so that he is giving the finger.

The Sound of Music, Or The Minstrel

My Minstrel has very little to do with the original artwork.

I took my old Mithril lute-player and put him on woodland base. The colours are the same as two decades ago, when he last got painted. Just done a little more carefully.
