    I recognize that Elf! Curse of Strahd is right in core of her area of interest. Excited for this new project.

    That terrain is utterly delicious. Beautifully painted, as are the minis. Your additions to the core modular sets work so well. I have never played Curse of Strahd so am very much looking forward to your upcoming playthrough.

    Love how the terrain and creatures turned out. The cool blue overtones and red undershades really bring the monsters together.

      didn't get a chance to play through the original module but the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft reboot in v3.5 was a blast. Tons of content in the local villages and countryside before the adventure even starts, and the randomized "What is Strahd doing" hook to get the players to show up (as well as the Tarot reading that randomizes how you defeat him) was lots of fun.

    You also convinced me I should start adding normal tabletop miniature prints to my store page, I wasn't convinced that they would sell but just seeing you talk about it and how you liked the detail is leading me to think otherwise!

    What a great Video! This series sounds AMAZING! I'm thinking the ultimate shading for flooring would be a Darker wood tone applied first to get the high contrast and airbrush fllow up with lighter shades. The furniture looks great too😃.

  • @benweinberg3819
    @benweinberg3819 10 месяцев назад

    Totally the move to airbrush the wood. That warm red tone looks like the beautifully varnished floors of a haunted mansion and will help the minis stay the focus on camera!
    Could you explain a bit more why you think priming on the sprue is faster in the end? Seems like with the extra step of airbrush primer you would actually lose time in the end, but I might have missed something

    This is a wonderful looking build and video, well done! Though I will admit hearing someone refer to the "classic D&D module" Curse of Stradh and not, ya know, Ravenloft just makes my head spin hah.

    • @DanaHowl
      @DanaHowl  10 месяцев назад +1

    I tried to do this for the entire campaign but we suffered a TPK so never finished the entire thing but got a good chunk of my undead models painted up (i own all factions) not a single fieldable army however unless im allowed a grand alliance death one.
    Currently doing it with a campaign i plan to DM down the line and im about a quarter done

    this is very cool. im coming to it 8 months later, and id be concerned (if i wete to do this myself) that if characters were to go up and down floors (or be split across floors) thered be no way to make that work. did that happen in your game?

    • @DanaHowl
      @DanaHowl  2 месяца назад +1

      Here's how i played it... i told my players up front there would be a sort of "loading screen" when they moved between floors, and that would be our meal break sort of thing and I had time to reconfigure the floors, so I worked out okay just letting everyone know up front!

    @brendanarmstrong7802 10 месяцев назад +9

    Oh, no. I'm so sorry. Curse of Strahd is actually a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition campaign. That City of Absalom kit is for Pathfinder, and isn't actually compatible with D&D5e. The stats are completely wrong, and your balance will get all screwed up. You'll have to purchase the City of Waterdeep box. The sprue is the same, but the tiles all perform based on D&D rules instead of Pathfinder rules.

    I really liked watching you work with the foam. Too bad its more about assembling plastic than real building a modular house. Imo the plastic is only good for a reference build. So you can build the floor in plastic and when it is the way you like it, you make it from xps foam and balsawood.
