Hi guys, long time! :beerchug:
I've got a D&D group going, where I'm the DM, and I'm planning to turn the KF2(Melanat) story into an adventure for my players. It's going to be slightly modified to fit with the campaign I'm running in general, but mostly the same. These are all players whom probably will never experience the glory that is KF otherwise, either. :P
Anyway, I'll put up the stuff I create here. Thinking of modelling some of the creatures as 28mm minis, especially those I can't find otherwise, like the krakens and two headed snails. Hopefully, in the end, I can put together a full adventure module for D&D 5e for people to use. :)
-
Alright, so I made the Head Eater today. It's my first miniature ever, but I'm happy with the outcome. :)
(https://comi.no/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/head-eater.png)
Stands about 37 mm tall.
This, and the others I create, I'll try to make a mold and cast multiple resin minis from that, which I'll then paint.
-
And here's the kraken!
(https://comi.no/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/kraken.jpg)
He's a bit taller than the head eater, and stands at about 5 cm.
I've made a mold for the head eater, and tomorrow I get to find out how well that works, as a resin figure is currently curing inside!
-
Those look great, they've got even more detail than the originals. :eek:
-
Thanks! :D
Haha, yeah, well ... Unlike FromSoft at the time, I'm not really limited to a low amount of polygons. xD Figured I'd add details that would make sense. :)
Currently trying to make silicone molds for these two. Will probably make the S-Knight one of the next couple of days.
-
Holy hell this is a cool idea for a D&D campaign, nice work on the miniatures!
-
Thanks, Todd! :D
Been working on stats for the monsters, which takes some time. Also waiting for some resin copies to cure, hoping they'll end up well. Already had a couple of tries that didn't work out properly.
-
New pics! Some unfinished paint work on the Kraken and Head Eater, and a new miniature: The S-Knight!

Just as a side thing, here are some Warhammer skeletons I bought and glued together to make them as similar to the ones in KF as possible; Pure skeletons with nothing but a big sword, plus the two Psythes. The skeleton holding with two hands took a bit extra work as the set was really not made for that, and the Psythes took a lot of extra work since I didn't want to have them in as much as a leaned in position, and I had to make the two scythes out of two spears and a long shield. :P
Not yet painted, though.

Done painting the Head Eaters!

Those skeletons look almost exactly like the ones I've been seeing in the Underworld Ascendant alpha, hehe. You should try making some with 1h swords and round shields.
-
Hehe! That looks like an interesting game, actually! :D
Incidentally, I had just finished painting this guy when I saw your comment:

Working on Guyra, I'm making the front half of his body raised, and as usual I'm taking some artistic liberties when it comes to the details. The torso is currently in the oven. I'll have some more pics soon. :)
-
Alright, here are some new pictures of the progress on Guyra!

Looking great! Can't wait to see the painted version. :eek:

love this. Are you going to eventually auction the figurines or try to sell them in any way? Guys this was the franchise when I was a kid we were poor but my dad and mom both had 2 jobs so at Christmas when they'd get a bonus they'd treat us so we had the very first ps when it just came out and I got Kingsfield and tekken and sorry to toot my own horn I was a beast at both and I remember spending months looking for secret passages and wonder to myself why there's a duplicate mirror why are there 2 rings of light what enemy needs that much overkill on that much light damage. And believe it or not my default spell was always wind cutter. Because it hit everything it passes thru and also stuns them for their dmg animation so it allowed for much more thorough dismantling earlier on in the game I felt. Because stun once wind cutter stun again physical attack by then wind cutter would be ready again you could time it to where the enemy barely gets to attack. Even if cutter didn't stun it was icing on top of the dmg cake.

Thanks! Glad you guys like it! :D
I've spent all day after work adding more details to the Guyra model today. Horns and claws now visibly protrudes out from underneath his hide, while the visible spine goes all the way up the neck. I also redid the eye, as it was kind of a flat cylinder before. Now it's round, and the socket is more of a perfect circle as well. It should be ready for wings now, so that's what I'll do next.
@JC Bailey: Oh man, I'm really looking forward to painting it, too! :D
@SeathsDestruction: I hadn't really considered selling these. I just figured I'd make them, use them for D&D, and then have them forever on my shelf, or something. :P I'm not going to actively try and sell it, though I guess I would consider any offers if I felt they reflected the amount of time and work I've spent on this. But it is first and foremost a work of passion. :)
Also, believe you me: You're not the only one whom has used Wind Cutter like that! That spell is great! :D
-
That guyra just makes me so happy to be alive. To see someone cares so passionately about detail into something I care so passionately about makes me so grateful. I thought Kingsfield was a dead topic I have no friends that are alive that shared this game with me. So when I get to speak about it at whatever length I can Its a rare hiatus from reality I don't get often
-
Haha, thanks! :D I've added his wings and polished a little bit, now. Will be painting him soon!
Had a session yesterday where they went through the termites' lair to save Sandler. They snuck past some termite workers in the beginning there, then fought their way through as they started meeting the termite soldiers. Finally they came to the termite queen, and had an epic fight with her and the termite soldiers guarding her. After the first time, they managed to stop her from calling for more reinforcement, and finally managed to kill her and save the kid!
They had dinner with Krola and Sandler, did som business with Celffy, then went to find the pirates' treasure! Fought a skeletons dropping from the ceiling and rising out of treasure chests, and collected their just reward! On their way to the waterfall to use the skull key, they found the mother kraken in her lair, and managed to take out her as well, much due to a single player using the right spells for the fight!
In the end it was an amazingly fun session! I had made a map for the termite boss battle and termite minis the day before, although the queen herself was a simple cardboard cutout. :P
Here are my termite minis. I also gave them antennas, as real life termites have them.

New pics fixed!

That guyra is awesome as hell!

Thanks, Todd! :D
Here's a better picture of Guyra, where you can also properly see the texture on his skin.

So, they finally faced off against Guyra, whom promptly slaughtered the bunch! :P However, I had Seath come in, resurrect them, and help them out a bit by binding some of Guyra's power. As mentioned earlier, I have taken some liberties with the story and such to make it fit with the rest of the campaign, and generally work as a tabletop RPG. I played Meryl as an avatar of Seath, which was revealed at the end(another plot twist!).

The players all had a blast, and seemed to love it! They had dinner with Krola and Sandler, and sent Gigi's father back to her from the mines. One of them tried to rob Celffy, and a while before that they bound and gagged Raffy. :tongue: Theyalso got slightly freaked when understanding they had talked to Leon's deceased mother. Also, they were super surprised to find out Necron was actually Dias. :biggrin:
All in all it was very much a success! So as not to overpower them for the rest of the campaign, they weren't allowed to take with them everything from Melenat, as Seath told them it was part of the history there, but some items they were allowed, though some "only" on a life long loan: The Cyclop's Collar, Spider, the Lightwave Ring, the Ruinous/Seath's set, and the Dark Slayer. I also made a homebrew spell of Flame, which the wizard managed to learn. (I even have a perfect miniature for it, which I added a LED light to!)
-
Sounds totally awesome to me, wish I had a DM back in the day to make such a sweet campaign. That guyra statue is very cool, wish I had one for my KF shrine.
-
Hehe, thanks! :D
It was very fun! Back in Faerun, the Paladin is wearing the complete Seath's set, and the Fighter has the Dark Slayer. The Warlock has got Spider, the Druid wears the Lightwave Ring, and the Wizard wears the Cyclop's Collar. They'll probably have those items for the rest of the game. ;)
