Dark Tower: Illusionist, Plague Doctor and Attic Whisperer

These are a some Reaper Pathfinder miniatures I've painted up for Frostgrave, to serve in my homebrew Dark Tower Campaign.

First up is Josiah Curvinus, my Wizard. I'll play him as an Illusionist, my preferred school in the game. His costume is loosely inspired by Tom Baker's in Doctor Who, particularly the scarf, which was a lot of fun to paint!

Here you can see the scarf a little clearer, I went the labor intensive route and hand shaded all of the stripes, effectively painting the scarf twice. The base was sculpted like a Shang Chinese pot decoration, and I added greens over the grey, to make it look like either moss-covered stone, or weathered jade. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and look forward to playing with him.

Next is a Plague Doctor, which could be used as an Apothecary, but I'll use him as a Thaumaturge, or part of the Medicant's Guild in Dark Tower. By restricting Heal spell access for the other factions, and the more offensive spells and soldiers for the Medicants, I hope to create a sort of troubleshooter faction, going around healing and fighting demons and undead.

 The miniature was a catalyst for the whole campaign, and I enjoyed giving it a dark, gritty look, although it now turns out a little too dark for the camera!

The last is an Attic Whisperer, painted straight from the illustration in Pathfinder Bestiary II. It's a very creepy looking miniature, although small, as the group picture shows, and I have another one to paint.

  I built the bones up from a medium tan, and bleached them with a thinned out white, dry brushing the dirt on its smock in a couple of browns. I also added a light wash of grey on the base, to give it a dusty look. This is one of many monsters I've come up with homemade game stats for.
