Wizards Tower

Hi
I have finally put my dragon into a fiery pit. It's more a pit full of larva really because I don't have any effective looking flames at the moment. I am working on some ideas and will add them in later if they turn out OK.

I managed to get some red and pink stones and used a plate with a lip to try to give the impression of emerging from a pit.

I placed the figures around the tower to make it look as though the mages were summoning the dragon.
The background is the inside of a Lord of the Rings folder.

I placed a crow from the Golden Compass set on the top of the tower. You can see him here blue tacked on to see the effect. I am going to glue him on when I'm happy with the scene.

I bought this dragon candle holder on a visit to Hampton Court and used it to represent a stone statue of a dragon sitting near the pit. I found a were raven and placed him on top as if he had just landed there.

I find winged creatures fascinating.

Overall I think there are many ways to improve this scene but I am quite pleased with it so far.

Wizards Tower

Hi
I have found two more figures to place around my wizards tower.
This Twilek Scout will make a good look out for one of the top steps.

I found a Crystal Protector who is reading a spell from a scroll to help the Blood of Vol Cultist and the Doomdreamer to cast the spell.

This figure is from the Mage Knight set but fits in well with the Dungeon and Dragon figures.
I searched around for a monster or demon for them to be calling up. I fancied something large and ended up in Early Learning where I found a set of fantasy figures. They are obviously for younger children but I like the detail and am hoping it will work.

I am going to attempt to make it look as though the dragon is emerging from a fiery pit.
I will let you see the end result and let you decide if it's worked or not.

Wizard's Tower

Hi
A few months ago I found a wizard's tower at a model fair.

I have gradually collected a few miniatures to place around it. Most of them are Dungeon and Dragon figures I found on the Internet. I tend to choose ones I like the look of and so end up with a mixture of miniatures from a variety of sets. I particularly like winged figures and am waiting for several to arrive at the moment. I will let you see them when they come.
This is a winged figure I really like called Asura.

This is a Doomdreamer casting a spell.

This is a detailed figure called Blood of Vol Cultist.

I have given him this Bluespawn as a familiar.

I have also given him this tiny Goblin Delver to follow behind him carrying his luggage.

I am now looking for a large figure for the spell casters to be calling forth and will let you know when I come across something suitable.
