I play with a few different roleplaying groups using different systems. Although I initially converted him as an Iron Kingdoms character, I’ve ended up using the model with my Dungeons and Dragons 5th ed. group instead.
I started with the Rutger Shaw model. I swapped his sword out for a more traditional one and gave him a shield that I had leftover from my Croak Raiders/Nyss/Bloodtracker conversion.
Donovan is a useful member of the party; he’s witty, charming, he heals them and talks them out of difficult situations…but he’s a womanising swine so the party hates him. Haha!

I’ve painted up another couple of spawning points for Super Dungeon Explore. I imagine the Claw Shrines to be a sort of sacrificial altar, so I splattered them with blood…

There is a community painting event happening on Facebook at the moment where everyone is painting up a Tabbybrook Mage. I really enjoy seeing different painting styles and the different takes people have on the same model.
I’ve been painting my own Freyjans to be more cat-like so my Tabbybrook is a Siamese.
I also modified her a little because I did not like the way she was sitting on the base. I ended up removing almost 3mm from the bottom of her dress, but she now matches up more closely to her Freyjan sisters in height.
If you want to join the Facebook event, you still have until the end of March to post your painted Tabbybrook Mage. Thanks for reading! Likes/shares/comments are appreciated.
