Many caverns, not to mention a great maze of sewers lie beneath the city, shunned by the sane as the abode of many horrors even more terrifying than those that dwell on the surface. Some, the brave and foolhardy, still seek the depths in search of treasure and mystery. It's been a little while since I've posted on my Dark Tower miniatures, and I've gotten a few more encounters painted up.
Among the many strange inhabitants of the depths is this, a Cloaker. Able to change color like a chameleon, they live on the ceilings of vast, damp caverns far beneath the surface, where flocks of hundreds can often be found.
This miniature is available for sale on Etsy, providing an excellent encounter for Frostgrave or D&D, and even if it sells out, you can always request a custom order to your own specifications. I really like how the stalagmite it's balanced on turned out, moss-covered, with water running off in pools to the floor.
Equally at home above the surface or below, undead, often skeletal dogs run in feral packs seeking food. This is a Grenadier model from the mid-eighties, a sculpt I really like. I used a good bit of washes on it, particularly around the mouth to give it a nasty, dirty look.
A rusted collar still hangs around its neck, a relic of its former life- or current service in the warband of some dark necromancer...
Statues from a forgotten age lie mourning in ancient courtyards... but are they just stone? After painting my Weeping Angels, I went back and added more detail to a pair of Reaper's Angels of Sorrow, making them more suitable for the Dark Tower. These are true 'weeping' angels, with small streams of water coming down from the eyes, pooling at the statues' feet.
These can serve as mere statues or constructs as well, adding a great accent to any game. Thanks to Georgia Ballard of Loot the Dead Things for tips on the weathering of these, and the cloaker's stalagmite.
You blinked.
