Shooting for the Stars!

I have to say Darcy Perry's amazing Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! Kickstarter is coming along wonderfully.

Just 1 week in and it's reached 70% of it's goal.



Darcy has sculpted a superb selection of heroic-scale table-top miniatures for your dungeon crawling pleasure. And I just can't wait to see them in metal!

Here are a few of the brave band, ready for action...

Fighting Man, Finn ...just don't irritate his Axe.

Ser Holger - the eternally vigilant Paladin.

The ever-so-stealthy Assassin ...Hanzo.

One of the 5 Legendary Hero pledges has already been snatched up, which means a custom sculpt - sculpted to the pledger's specifications - is in the making and going to be added to the line-up, and will be available to all pledgers...

Father Alucard - Legendary Hero!
Sketched by Kevin Briones.

If you want to be one of the lucky few having your own custom creation sculpted by Mr Perry, you may not want to dally.

You can find updates and info regarding the Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! Kickstarter on the Star Hat Miniatures Facebook page, and also more of Darcy's fine work on his blog: Hits To Kill.

Happy Gaming!

Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom!

Recently a good friend and fellow gamer decided he'd try his hand at fantasy miniature sculpting.

He's a table top war-gamer and old school RPGer from way back, and has painted many a fine figure in his time. A plethora of the figures he has put a lick of paint to, Mr Darcy Perry has also converted in some way ... adding a sword here, a belt-pouch there ...a bearskin cape on a Barbarian, a beaded plait on a Dwarf, and each figure always wonderfully based.

But until earlier this year, he hadn't actually sculpted a full figure from scratch.

Early April, inspired, Darcy sat down at his workbench, picked up his sculpting tool and epoxy putty, and Sir Theobald (aka Ser Holger) was born ...

Well, the troupe has grown now to nine; each, one of the classic RPG achitypes - A bold knight, brawny barbarian, stout ranger, learned wizard, sly halfling, devout cleric, fearless amazon, surly dwarf and an ever so stealthy ninja can be found among them,  and all of these beauties are now available to you via Darcy's Star Hat Miniatures - Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! collection, launched today on Kickstarter.

The Delvers incarnate.

Being a bit of a dabbler in ye olde Photoshop and partaker in many things arty, I took it upon myself to do what I could to help; designing the backdrops for the individual figurines (shown below), the banner (above), and the Star Hat logo.

Archmage Merlot.

Half-Elf Pathfinder Martyn.

Dwarf Lord Borin.

Star Hat Miniatures.

The Star Hat logo I came up with was in fact designed based upon a previous illustration I had created of the minor God "Fubar" - authored by Darcy Perry, that appeared in the tome: the Revised and Expanded "Petty Gods" Compendium; available here...

Coming soon to a dungeon near you!

I can't wait to see this project come to fruition. The sculptures are truly amazing and would look fabulous in any dungeon. So don't miss out on a great opportunity to add some very classy figures to your collection. Head over to Kickstarter and back Darcy's Delvers Lost in the Dungeons of Doom! You won't regret it.

A Fair Dinkum Desert Island

Just had the pleasure of creating a selection of pieces for a gaming cobber from across the ditch.
More pieces for that ripper board game, Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island.

For this project I designed a brand new Morale marker. Instead of the 'Survivor Island' style torch, this time I thought I'd make one in the likeness of one of the Totems found in the game; pretty pleased with the result :)

I also made small tweaks to a few of the other pieces.

Will the stone god bring joy or dispair?

How did the natives move stones so large?

Delicious coconuts.

The freshest of fish.

Smoked fillets.

Hand polished to a smooth sheen :)

More food for the larder.

Hunting went well today!

Fine tanned leather pelts.

The variety of animals on this island is astounding,

Logs for the wood pile.

Shelter from the elements.

Palm leaves are great for keeping out the rain.

...and the green complements my eyes.

Lets hope it holds up in a storm.

Steel and Lace

A couple of weeks back this commission arrived at it's destination in Paris.
I had been watching it's tracking like a hawk ...with all the flooding, strikes, petrol shortages, football rioting and such, that have been going on, I was quite concerned.
I was, to put it lightly, rather relieved to see the parcel finally signed for, upon delivery :)

The commission was for a bundle of pieces to be used with Ignacy Trzewiczek's amazing Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island board game.

The full haul.

Fire discovered!

Ashes at the campsite.

The usual suspects.

A palisade to keep out the wildlife.

A leafy roof to fend off the weather.

Protection from the elements.

Hunting a-plenty was required.

There's no place like home.

Morale was high.

A verdant land.

Tools of the trade.

The huntsman's friend.

Alas poor Yorick...

Food glorious food.

A banquet fit for a castaway.

A good day's hunting.

The variety of animals to be found is amazing!

I hunt to survive,

Wood! ...

Well stacked.

The mother-load.
