Hobby: The Mystical Stag of Arborioch

This is a model that I've wanted to make for a long time, particularly since watching Princess Mononoke. I really enjoy the idea of pulling an otherwise benign model of a deer into something mystical or incredibly powerful.  I think in an era of the hobby where miniatures companies are making some truly impressive and titanic miniatures, its nice to have something that can represent great power in an otherwise subtle package.  

This is a Stag model from the Dungeons and Dragons line of 'pre-primed' miniatures, and was picked up at one of the local LGS for a few dollars. I think of it as either a potent boss/npc for TTRPG's or as a hero for Dragons Rampant. 

Thanks for reading!

February 2024 Gamesday

Well, another gameday has come and gone, we had no stated theme today as we build up to March's apocalypse finale to our Terico Prime series set in the 4th Tyrannic War, so the event was a casual mixture of hobby and gaming. 

We had a good if quiet turnout for the club today, with 6 members in attendance and one member joining us remotely through our discord channel in our paint project. 

The day started with hobbying, and I showed a brief tutorial on minis painting in contrast to our newest members, who are entirely new to participation in the hobby, before setting them loose on painting themselves.

The new members gretchin

For lunch, we had a sandwich board, which was very much depleted by the time this photo took place. 

Later in the day, some gaming took place, as we introduced some of the mechanics of Warhammer 40,000 to the new members in a 2000-point team game, and had a good time generally slamming plastic soldiers together.
