Monster Nest and a skull pillar

I’ve been painting some terrain-pieces in between all those picts.
The Monster Nest from Oathsworn Miniatures is a nice little piece that I’m sure will see action.

The Skull Pillar comes from RAFM and will serve well as a plot point in Pulp Alley. The little pile of skulls is from the same company, and… well, you can never have to many piles of skulls.

  3. Nice.

    I am curious, when you paint up fun little terrain bits like this - do you have a specific scenario in mind, or does it just look like something fun to paint up that you'll figure out a scenario to use it in later? I'd be a mix of both, but probably more the latter.

    1. Hi Tim!
      I seldom have a specific scenario in mind, but instead think broadly on what I can use a piece for. When we play at the club we usually have rather scenery-heavy gaming boards.
      So I think the skull pillar will se use as a plot point in Pulp Alley and scatter terrain in fantasy and pulp games. The nest is also perfect as a plot point or maybe hazardous terrain (hehe) in Pulp Alley, and could see use in Frostgrave: Archipelago. THe skull pile, well that is simply useful everywhere :-)
      Useful pieces that can see lots of different uses.
      Sometimes, though, it is very focused on one thing, for example the harbour I built a couple of years ago (see 28mm Harbour tag) where I was unusually focused on one thing for one scenario.
      So, mainly fun pieces that will see broad uses.
