I've recently had a chance to start a Pathfinder campaign! I've never actually played an RPG before, although I've read the rulebooks and admired the bestiaries for years, so I've enjoyed finally getting a chance to play. Most of my recent painting has been inspired by my character and the background I've built around him, so I'll talk a bit about him before I post my recent miniatures.
First up, about the miniature. He's a plastic GW Aragorn, from the Mines of Moria starter set. I got him used and badly primed, so my work on him was half paint job, half reclamation job. He turned out well, though.
As some will have guessed by this point, my character's a Ranger (half-elf, goes by the name of Auluin Stormcrow). At the start of the campaign, he suffers from amnesia, remembering nothing of his youth. He was discovered in the wrack of a squatter's town in a Elf wood by some evil druids. He's raised by these druids as a servant until they fall a little behind in debt payments to a ghoul tribe, and the ghouls decide to collect- in food. While the druids get slaughtered, Auluin manages to escape, and remembers something- he hates these things. Armed with this knowledge, he sets off to fight all such unnatural monstrosities, and perhaps, just perhaps, he'll remember more of his past when he kills enough....
It may be a very archetypal ranger, but it's fun to play!
