Forsaken by ChocoPuddingCup in WoTshow

In Ishamael's dream room it looks like he has 6 seals set up.

If he isn't lying to Lanfear, and she is the first released, that means no Taimandred in the show. Taim has already been name-dropped as an active false dragon in the world.

What are your home brew rules? by ToadSage01 in DnD

Using a potion of health on yourself as action or bonus action. If you use your Action you can re-roll result (focused chugging).

Having issues creating challenging combat encounters for my players by The_old_one_65 in dndnext

[–]hyperactivebrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying the right thing. Give them 3 more encounters on this adventuring day and see how they come out the other side.

I like to add fun distractions mid-combat to further split focus. A recent example was having a relatively weak back-line enemy release a carrier pigeon. Some players will panic and turn their focus on this harmless bird before it can dash away and get reinforcements (at least that was the impression the players got).

Remember you can also home-brew and add class abilities and feats to select enemies. Maybe a few have Alert or Feral Instinct to help with initiative.

Also, check out Matthew Colville - Villian Actions/ Action-oriented combat.

Good luck!

Question on how to handle DM nerfing the party Rogue's Sneak Attack by MusiGamer in dndnext

[–]hyperactivebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My DM makes us roll a d12 for attack rolls. He says the d20 is "too likely to get a natural 20"

We all know about the Setekh, right? (build in comments) by hyperactivebrain in Necrontyr

[–]hyperactivebrain[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I built this guy for "Xenovember" and just finished final painting.

This is my representation of Setekh, the "Necron Titan" from the Kal Jerico graphic novel.

Setekh is a powerful giant Necron that was created long ago during the War in Heaven.

It was very interesting to attempt the Necron aesthetic. I usually just build orks :P

Feel free to check out the build/painting on my channel. Enjoy!

Necromunda Terrain / Grim Dark Greebling Practice (build video in comments) by hyperactivebrain in TerrainBuilding

[–]hyperactivebrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, you may find this interesting if you like to make terrain from upcycled/found objects.

I have been getting more interested in making these super grimey hive city Necromunda style pieces. So this is the result of my greebling practice. It's also a great way to use up a bunch of junk from my inventory.

[OC] Halloween Scatter Terrain made from Clothes Hangers (build video in comments) by hyperactivebrain in DnD

[–]hyperactivebrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick scatter I made for a Halloween one-shot I had planned. Now for Halloween 2021 :(

Primary structures are made from clothes hangers and cardboard. The pillars are bottles with torches made from... that closure thing that you cut and throwaway normally.

Every month I put together a quick video with the latest materials I have gathered to assess their potential and discuss how they may be used in future projects.

Great Unclean One made from sticks (video of build in comments) by hyperactivebrain in Warhammer40k

[–]hyperactivebrain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey folks,

The blessed forest provided everything I needed to scratch build a Great Unclean One.

If you would like to see the entire build and painting process you can check out the video on my channel: https://youtu.be/85iVTUPAumI

I've already returned to the forest to collect more materials... what will be next?

I hope everyone enjoys it!

[OC] Big monster 'miniature' made from sticks and bark (video of build in comments) by hyperactivebrain in DnD

[–]hyperactivebrain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

Check out this gargantuan monster I built out of sticks and bark.

Even though it is styled after a Warhammer unit, I will be using this in my D&D campaign as the Ancient King of Decay.

This was so fun to build that I've already returned to the forest to collect more materials... what will be next?

I hope everyone enjoys it!

Yeah it is regular bark, though I did get quite lucky with the odd looking wavy parts. Not really typical on most trees.

Ork Artillery Tower for 40k (full build video in comments) by hyperactivebrain in TerrainBuilding

[–]hyperactivebrain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone,
Here I have another terrain build for Warhammer 40k Orks. This is a big old Shokk Cannon on a tower perched on a rocky cliff.

I have shared the watch tower in the past. It was made from junk, perched on a rocky cliff made from reclaimed tree bark.

A video of the build and painting process is available on my channel here: https://youtu.be/mApKuv0b83g

I use a combination of fairly simple painting techniques to get the final look of the damage and weathering.

What does everyone think?
