This werebear painted as a European brown bear. I looked up some pictures of bears and it looked like they were darker in the front and lighter along the back/spine. So I drew inspiration from the polar bear technique and went to work.
Documenting the winding journey from beginning wargaming and PnP RPG-s, through low budget solutions, to a growing collection of painted miniatures and a veritable chronicle of games and campaigns.

Chaos Daemons are back, this time against the brand new ork codex. I made a more well rounded list instead of a monster mash and went at it again with the Daemonic Incursion. Be'lakor is still here with his two bloodthirster buddies, but I had 3 infantry squads in reserve and nurglings clogging up the middle.
The orks had two loaded squads of meganobz, a big boy squad, the big man Ghaz himself, as well as two dakkarigs and a deff dread. Other units rounded out the list for scoring purposes.
I've already worked on some Free Folk giants, see Converting and painting Free Folk giants. I have another pair of savage giants, one of which needs to become a spear thrower. Obviously I won't do the same conversion again. Instead I came up with the idea of a pine tree thrower, as previously the guys joked a lot about pine trees flying across the table. I also put some work into the other guy, just to make sure everybody understands that this is a melee giant.
The party regrouped in Waterdeep, and spent some time selling off loot, shopping for magic items and high quality diamonds. They actually found nothing of interest after rolling poorly on the merchant tables, so they used their old teleport network to take a detour through Neverwinter. Here they bought some gear and a diamond to resurrect Szivem. Initially Groin began the ritual on the high street in front of the temple of Lliira, but on rolling a 1, he had to retreat inside before a procession of nobles. Still many people gathered to witness the miracle[1] and the temple gained new followers.
After a well deserved long rest, the adventurers once again descended into the Dungeon. They explored the rest of the mansion, going through the chambers of a noble couple, abandoned in a hurry. They saw and heard signs of being watched. Twice they encountered Star Spawn Larva Mages materializing from thin air. They fought the first one, to general disgust at all the worm-related happenings.
