As you may remember, I've started to take some commission work for my board games group. Just recently I was asked (I may have hinted really, really heavily) to paint the miniatures from a really cool looking RPG board game - Stuffed Fables. By Plaid Hat Games, the folks behind "Mice and Mystics - fast becoming a favourite of mine, this game pits an unusual band of heroes called "The Stuffies" against the evil "Crepitus" This is the blurb from Plaid Hat...
Sworn to protect the little girl that loves them, a group of stuffed toys has been drawn into the Fall, an otherworldly, fantastic realm ruled by a brooding master of nightmares.
The miniatures are amazing if not a bit chibi like...

| on my painting table, ready to go! |
Anyway, so far I've managed to paint half of the heroes and some of the villains and here they are. Starting with the good guys, first up is "Lumpy" the stuffed elephant, armed with a meat mallet!
Next is Piggle - he has the top of a Play-doh can for a shield and a baby rattle for a club - nice!
Finally for the heroes, this time - Lionel. Players can't choose Lionel at the beginning of the adventure as he has to be unlocked later on in the game.
Now for some bad guys, i'm gonna leave the main protagonists until the next post I do about these minis. So in the meantime, we have the Mongrels - these mechanical hounds serve the Nightmare King, hunting through the corridors of his castle.
Next are the Dark Hearts, these heartless creatures are made up of discarded socks and other cloth bits. Yes, the hole goes right through them!
Now for the really creepy toys - The Crawlies! These hermit crab like mechs, make their homes in the heads of dolls....
EEEuuggh!
hope you enjoy

Well I can see why you would want to paint these, what great fun!
ReplyDeleteThey are good fun to paint and nice and simple
DeleteGreat work on the board games figures Andy, can see why you pushed to do them, as you obviously enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely enjoyed them Dave :-)
DeleteThis most certainly looks like a fun game. Great work on the paint jobs, Andy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan :-)
DeleteExcellent brushwork Andy, your talents really breath life into the characters and I reckon the group will be well chuffed :-)
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the game before, but it sounds fun and the mini's look VERY cool. The doll's head 'hermits' are particularly creepy!
They are really creepy! The game looks great and having played Mice and Mystics by the same guys I have high hopes
DeleteNow that just looks weird! some very strange but wonderful stuff there Andy, and all wonderfully painted too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thanks Roger, they do look weird, but cool - a bit like me.... lol
DeleteWell I don't care what everyone else says;) I think these are bloody brilliant. I doubt they were easy to paint because there is a large bland area on most figures and you've done a lovely job of blending the colours there.
ReplyDeleteThose green thingies are a bit special and as Greg said the dolls head whatsits are extremely creepy.
Normally I wouldn't give this sort of thing a second glance but I spent a long time looking at these.
No pressure for the rest of them then :)
No pressure indeed Jon. ;-P
DeleteColourfully cartoony, and wonderfully painted, Andy. What a corking posting and they must look absolutely splendid on the tabletop :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, I hope I get to see them in action
DeleteYikes. They look great but you might scare little kiddies with some of them.
ReplyDeleteYou’re not wrong dude
DeleteThey are creepily cool. I might need to look into that game. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteStill some corkers to come
DeleteBrilliantly Creepy mate. You done a cracking job on these.
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon ;-)
