Spring Clean 25 – Dungeon Saga by Poentje

For the last couple of years I have been lucky enough to get a monthly gamenight with some friends. We started with Heroquest, because my mates used to play that 30 years ago. They never finished the first questbook but invested in all the expansions. After playing through four campaigns we came to the realisation we wanted something else. I had Dungeon Saga fully painted on the shelf so we decided to give that a go. This is my first time DM-ing a game and must say I like it. In the last year we played through the first box of Dungeon Saga, The Dwarf King’s Quest. In the last couple of levels the heroes become Legendary and my friends were asking ‘When do we get other models?’. So as an gift to them for achieving the finishing of the first box I decided to buy the Legendary versions of the heroes and start the next campaign, The return of Valandor, with updated miniatures.

Here are some pictures, first up Rordin the Dwarf

Orlaf the Barbarian

Danor the human Wizard

Madriga the Elven Ranger

And here is an overview of the ‘normal’ and LEGENDARY heroes

It took me a bit longer than I wanted, because life got in the way.

The last week of the Dutch football championship was a rollercoaster and I almost couldn’t think about anything else than the games. In the end my favourite football team (PSV Eindhoven) became champions of the Eredivisie (Netherlands) and we had to celebrate for about a week.

After that all was done I got my mojo back to paint some models.

Luckily there aren’t that much models in the box and they are easy to paint.

First up is Ally the halfling thief.

The pictures are a little bit fuzy, but that is good for Ally, she won’t get detected that easy.

Next up is Ibrahim the Basilean Paladin

And last but not least is Karrathor the Unbroken. He is a direct descendant of the Father of all Dragons.

For now I think he is ready. He could use some gold coins on the base, but I’m not quite sure how to do this. Maybe some golden chunky glitter make up.

And here is a picture of all three miniatures.

This means that all of my original Dungeon Saga boxes are finished.

I also own the Dungeon Saga Origins box, but that will be for another time.

So I call this Spring Clean 25 project done and complete

After applying washes and some highlights I call the models for The Infernal Crypts finished or good enough for the tabletop.

Here are some pictures.

The heroes Arianya and Venetia, Arianya is a Naiad Demon Hunter and Venetia is a Sisterhood Cleric.

The evil champion Drech’nok

And the evil minions.

Molochs, Hellhounds, Efreets, Tortured souls, Succubi, Flamebearers, Abyssal guards and Abyssal warriors

I already started with the last expansion which is The Tyrant of Halpi. It only consists of 3 minis, but one of those isn’t so mini….

I already have them primed. Hope to finish this last expansion soon.

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last recorded my progress. Life got in the way with work (too much) and vacations, can’t complain about the last.

I managed to put on some red speed paint with my airbrush between vacations. This was a very simple task and sped up the painting proces.

I did let it dry for more than a week and then blocked in some basecolours. With the lighter colours I noticed that the speedpaint re-activated some what, after letting it dry I applied a second coat which solved the problem.

Next step will be some washes and highlights.

I did set up the airbrush and primed the models in black. I then gave them all an zenithal highlight with grey and white. I wanted to start with some red inks but my airbrush clogged at the last model I was highlighting white. Realised I didn’t realy clean my airbrush for a long time, so I got it all apart and did a deep clean.

The red inks have to wait for a couple of days.

Next up is the second expansion The Infernal Crypts.

With this set I experienced the same warping problems, but nothing what a little hot water can’t fix.

For this expansion I’m going to set up the airbrush, see if I can speed up my painting proces.

I applied some washes and highlights to the models. I think they look good enough to call them finished. While I was resizing my pictures I noticed that I missed the gem on the staff of Valandor, so that’s the last step I still have to do.

Here are some pictures.

Skeletons front and back

Zombies front and back

Ghost and Dwarf Revenant front and back

Zombie Troll front and back

Demon Lord Ba’el front and back

And last but not least (missing his gemstones) Valandor

After letting the primer dry for a couple of hours I blocked in some base colours with the old painted models as an example.
