More scenery from Zealot

I haven't had much time to paint during the last week or so, due to a gaming con during the weekend, a new job and life getting in the way.

Unholy Portal with a transparent red portal insert in the middle.

Anyway, here are a couple of scenery-pieces from Zealot that I finished a couple of days ago.

I'll hopefully get an hour or so at the painting table this evenening. There are a lot of stuff needing paint.

Scenery from Zealot

I just finished some more scenery from Zealot, this time a bed, rustic throne, banquet table with cloth and three monster beddings.

Everything is, as always, really great stuff.

Ancient Temple from Zealot Miniatures

This Ancient Temple from Zealot Miniatures is finally finished. It was another of those pieces that was half-painted on the painting table. There was a quite noticeable gap between one of the pillars and the roof that I was annoyed with and that kind of put a damper on the whole thing.

The other day I found a box of Poison Ivy from Army Painter stashed away among other terrain-stuff and that spelled the end of the gap.

After drybrushing with different greys, browns and greens I super glued the poison ivy in place and tried to hide the gap as well as I could. This temple will serve well in both fantasy and Pulp/Cthulhu-settings.

I’m really pleased with it.

Zealot’s got a lot of interesting stuff in their store and a visit there might prove expensive J

Dungeon scenery from Zealot

 Another batch of scenery from Zealot. Useful stuff, large and small.

Living door - closed and open. Would you enter?

A double door.

Levers - they told me to pull one, but which?

A cultist - useful as a statue

A gibbet with an unfortunant ex-tenant and a stool

A welcome news is that everything from the kickstarter is now available from their shop. There are things like really large scenery pieces down to stuff like books, goblets, bones and wands, very useful for treasure/objective markers etc. Well worth a visit!

Magical Portal from Zealot (and a ghost)

More stuff from the Zealot Kickstarter, this time a magic portal. It’s a four-piece kit, with two halves of the stone frame, the base and the translucent blue portal. It needs some green-stuffing, but nothing major.

I will use it as a portal between the planes in our Cthulhu-inspired Pulp Alley campaign at the club. I'm writing a scenario around it.

Stay tuned for some monstrous beings that might just be summoned through it during that game.

Finally a ghost, also from Zealot.

Even more dungeon scenery from Zealot

I’m still working on scenery from Zealot on and off. Here we have what I’ve painted up during the last few weeks.

A really nice little well. I've added Woodland Scenics 'water' in it.

A spiral stairs

Doorways, open portcullises, a pit, bucket and a cross.

Still lots of Zealot stuff to finish and I try to always have some pieces on the painting table so I can splash on some paint in between the other projects.

Torture chamber accessories from Zealot

Every evil villain needs a torture chamber and every hero needs to save someone from said chamber. That is pulp basics, and probably valid in fantasy settings, too.

A good thing then, that I have an assortment of implements for such a chamber. They are all made by Zealot Miniatures, and are part of the kickstarter stuff I got a couple of months ago. 

There will be a thing or two more for the chamber from Zealot soon and also some stuff from Reaper, but those are from the Bones III kickstarter and will take a while to arrive.

A warm welcome to new follower Ivor Evans with Saturday Mornings where you will find fantastic terrain, great AARs and more. Recommended!

Pål from the club has also joined and he’s got a brand new blog, Wargame Development from the Trenches, which is about his just started project to build a WWII skirmish computer-game. Just one post so far (he got started with the blog yesterday!) and it sure looks interesting. I for one will follow Pål’s progress and I became his first follower! Yay! Do check it out and have a chance to influence the design of the game!

More dungeon scenery from Zealot Miniatures

Lots of stuff from Zealot Miniatures ready for action.

Tiered stairs for use in the dungeon or maybe a castle

A Fireplace with a comfy little fire to drive away the chill of a dungeon near you.

That's a nice Forgotten Fountain

There were clear inserts but I used Woodland Scenics Realistic Water instead.

When you least expect it... a water weird! A clear resin piece you can put over the fountain. Difficult to see in the picture, but there is a monstrous head there. I put a gloss varnish on it to let it look more watery.

A dwarven arch

This lectern is actually from Pulp Figures and their Cowled Cultists 1 pack.

The lectern and a big Zealot box. You can never have to many boxes.

A Tomb...

Oh, there is a mummy inside.

Aaaaargh! (mummy from Blue Moon)

I hope you enjoyed this look at some of Zealot's stuff. 

Clutter, grave-stones and dungeon scenery from Zealot Miniatures and RAFM

Nothing much is happening on the modelling front now, but I’ve painted these assorted pieces from Zealot Miniatures and RAFM.

Fireplace and Thick Pillar from Zealot 

Death Seal from Zealot and pentagram from RAFM

Four gravestones from Zealot and a Summoning Stone from RAFM (secont from the left)

Two more barrels from Zealot

Furniture from Zealot Miniatures and summer updates

Chest of drawers, side table, barrel, hatch and crate.

As I wrote in the last post, Zealot Miniatures sent me a lot of kickstarter-stuff a couple of weeks ago. I quickly decided to start with some of the easiest pieces to paint, just to feel that I had some progress in lowering this specific resin-mountain.

Banquet table with bench and two rustic chairs

Cupboard

Here are the first couple of finished pieces. As you can see the detailing of the models are top notch. Really very beautiful furniture and stuff that will enhance gaming tables in the future.

Coffins - these are always useful, be they in the Old West or a dungeon.

Summer is here, and with it stays to our summer-place, trips to other places, gardening and all sorts of non-gamery stuff. Expect to see fewer updates in the next two months or so, and slower replies to comments – I will read them but maybe not the same day. I’ll try to manage two posts a week but that is in no way guaranteed.
