Battlemaster inspired Barbarian Archer!

So, when I picked up the Shadespire barbarian box, I immediately noticed one figure which screamed "homage" to me.  This archer fella.  It immediately made me think of the Chaos Archer from the old Battlemasters game from the mid-90's.

I requested a picture of the box art from Facebook and people delivered.  So I made a "nod" to the old figure.  I didn't match the tattoos or the hair perfectly, but it was fun.  I wish there were a few more elements I could have tied in.

The original painted figure from the back of the Battlemasters box.

The finished product.

 

Lady with spear!

So for the dungeon crawl, I'll be doing up a male and female version of each of my hero classes.  The first one I have on hand for the ladies is a female barbarian from GW's shadespire box.

Introducing: Tod, Legendary Man-at-Arms.

Got in a good playtest tonight for CCC.  Highlights below (only a couple pics though!)

Our group (Wizard, Dwarf, Elf, and Thief) managed to reach the Quest room and escape.  We freed a captive lady (who turned out to be a bearded woman...), and rescued Man-at-Arms Tod from a room filled with terrible spiders (who almost slew my Thief - reducing me to one wound!)

My Thief made use of his Eelskin boots to explore a flooded chamber while the others waited.  We entered the final Quest Room to find: 1) a treasure - hurrah!, 2) A group of Brigands, and 3) an evil Crone.

We actually had enough crowns to payoff the Brigands and they departed...then we slew the Crone.  Tod charged forward bravely and stabbed her in the gut while the Wizard fireballed her.  The Elf finished her off with an arrow to the eye socket.

My Thief spent most of the Quest clinging to Tod and hiding because I was walking around on one wound for waaaay too long.  I did eventually trade for some Boiled Meats from the Dwarf and recovered....slightly.

All in all a good playtest.

Ermergerd, Berberierns!
