Demonsub is Five Leagues From The Borderlands

At the same time that I got all of the miniatures for the enemy table I also picked up a few character models that I liked the look of. These would be useful to use as either enemy leaders or unique individuals.

While browsing the Mantic games site looking at their lizardmen salamander models I came across this named character, Artakl. The original model was from a Dungeon Saga expansion but she was also available in resin. I chose to paint her in brown warm earthy tones rather than the bright green from the Mantic site as a large amount of my models are already green.

I spotted this Snakeman Heritor on the North Star site while looking at their Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago collection. I liked the look of how he’s almost hiding in that big dark cloak of his so I really worked on the shadows with this model. Thinking back now I really wish I’d started with a black undercoat and worked upwards but overall I’m pleased with how this model turned out.

When I ordered the models for my beast pack from Diehard Miniatures this whip wielding lizard came with them, intended to be the pack master. I had no use for him in his intended role but I thought he’d make a good character model so he was promoted. 

This miniature also came from Diehard Miniatures, a rogue trader who actually came with a pet, the same as what I used from my beast pack so the pet joined them. I love how this model looks like he’s well travelled and can take care of himself. With a mix of stone spear and a firearm on his backpack I think he’d fit well into either a fantasy or science fiction game, maybe as crew in a further Five Parsecs From Home game. His paint scheme is very similar to that from the Diehard website as I really like that blue colour for the cloak.

With that concludes two months of collecting and painting miniatures for one set of enemies in Five Leagues. I’m pretty happy with how they all turned out and I’m looking forward to using them in game. I’m sure the dice will favour them over my heroes.
