Looking good...but 'Gavin'??!  :o ;D :D :d

If he's anything like his namesake in Mark Harrison's cartoon strip, then steer well clear!  ;D

Seriously, nice work on the Borderlands module!

Looks impressive.

Just waiting for them go through the arched window as Big Ted used to say on Playschool .

Oh dear, perhaps I'm going a bit too retro here  ;D

Well yes, quite, Gavin...  I took the names of the characters from the "Shady Dragon Inn" list of Lower level pre_rolled parties.  I almost always label the figures for a solo game since it helps me to identify with the charaters, and as for Gavin... he is the Pendraken guy with the big club, no armour just a big club.  I haven't even rolled the stats for them yet.  
I reckon Gavin is probably a Thief of some sort!
Anyway there was a kid at school I rweally hated whose name was Gavin so I look forward to getting him into some nasty situations.  
Here are another couple of pictures including the Hero shot of the party outside the Kobold lair!
These have the base map underneath.  Looks better I think.

Interesting.

Rules wise you could look at Song of Blades and Heroes as they play well for solo and are pretty cheap as a pdf.

Terrific stuff, Big Dave.

:-\  I wonder what Leon's going to call the chaos knight/wight that I've just sent up.
He had a working title of 'Colin', while I was pushing the putty about.
(Yes, OK, I know...I've got no imagination when it comes to names) ;)

Cheers - Phil.

Breeyark fellow adventurers,
The Kobolds... well beestmen really, ready for action.
It's taken me a while to get these guys ready.  Not least because I still haven't sourced some proper giant rats, that well known Kobold pet.  I will be investing in the rat lair dungeon pack in due course but for now the part of the rats is being taken by some sunflower seeds, good size and right shape when a tail is added.

Clearly the Pendraken Beestmen are goat faced guys, but at this scale I`ll live with it.  They are also a tad large, and will be filling in as Gnolls elsewhere in the Keep module.  I wish I could source some 10mm dog men.  They feature a single Pendraken pack each of swords, spears and bows.  I used three as command figures, the big boss on a penny, and the two lieutenants  on one cent Euros (the perfect coin for 10mm in my opinion!)

I left them as bland as possible, no bright shields, no light colours, and I may dip them just to get a darker look.  In places my acrylics are patchy on these, but I quite liked the effect. 
The Orcs, next out of the production line, are a very different painting prospect. 
I still have a lot of the caves to build, and the Keep itself is only just getting going.

Very nice Dave  8)

Good idea on the sunflower seeds too!

Really nice, and the sunflower seeds do look effective.  :)
