…to talk about our Lord and Saviour Tiamat?
So, I was off last week for Half Term, and so powered through painting some bits that I need for the next encounter in the family D&D game, some cultists of Tiamat:
In my canon, low level cultists wear rough spun plain brown robes, of a sackclothish material, but they decorate the hoods with triangles representing the different colour of chromatic dragon, with the positioning of the coloured triangles representing which type of dragon they hold in highest esteem, which you can probably just make out if you really zoom in.
This was also handy, as them being dressed in plain robes made for a pretty quick paint job!
The more eagle eyed of you may well notice that the chap on the far right is armed with a very distinctive weapon - this is sadly the result of a picture frame falling on my desk and snapping off the scimitar (of which there are a sadly limited number per box, and I’m hoping future models from h to is box will all have), and so disheartened I decided to leave it as is looking like some sort of diminutive handaxe rather than trying to either fix it or replace it entirely.
As the next encounter is attacking a dragon in their lair while they are being courted by members of the Cult of the Dragon, I also needed some piles of treasure:
Apologies for the awful picture, it was very sunny when I took it and I assure you the piles of coins look to have more depth in hand than they do in this picture!
Which leads me to my last picture, pretty much what the party are going to see when they rush into the ruined tower - plus a green dragon languidly looking down on them…
Painting these cultists brings the Tally to:
14 vs 206 = -192
What’s next? Well, I’ve been watching a lot of (classic) Doctor Who recently, but on the other hand we need to pack up and move house again, so if you don’t see me post for a while that will be why…
They look really great, I like how menacing they look, even being regular thugs. Nice job! Good luck with the moving!
