Off The Shelf: An Evil Adventurer

Baraka Ein-Arm comes from the Terronus: Isle of Goblins Goalsystem game and D&D supplement I did more than five years ago (time flies!).  His true origins stem from a Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play campaign I ran back in the late 1990's.

My good friend, Kurt M., played a dwarf scholar named Baraka.  It seems he could not keep his hands off of one of the famous Doom Stones, and so he and the rest of his group quickly went Chaotic Neutral, if you know what I mean!  They were sort of like Red Lanterns well before DC Comics decided to add extra characters based on different colors.

Anyway, after having his arm snipped off by a Chaos mutant, Baraka used the Stone of Earth to fashion himself a new one!  What could go wrong?

D&D 4E Goblin Druid

I got to play some Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition Wednesday night, and I had a blast. I picked up Players Handbook 2 beforehand and made a Goblin Druid. Since the game is set in Eberron, goblins are much more accepted as player characters.

Of course, I had to use the Terronus Goblin Druid miniature for my character. I painted up a new version on a smaller, 20mm slotted base, and added a Star Wars Miniatures Vornskr as his Wild Shape model. In 4th ed. the Druid is no longer sidled with an Animal Companion, but he can take a Wild Shape form that gives him access to cool striking powers.

I really love what 4th ed. has done with this class. He's now a cool close-in fighter when he needs to be, but he can also zap foes and control the combat area with deadly ranged elemental magic.












Also, here's a scale comparison shot with a Reaper chain fighter miniature:
