expands his 15mm modern building collection.
I'm not sure how this figure ended up in my hands. It's an official Dungeons & Dragons figure, a pre-painted figure made out of a stiff rubbery material.
The base identifies it as a Blackscale Lizardfolk. It's apparently from the Angelfire series and is an Uncommon. As far as I can tell, it's no longer in production, but still available on the aftermarket. It's about 38mm from ground level to eye level.
According to the Forgotten Realms wiki, Blackscales are native to the Cormyr Swamp, and are bigger, dumber versions of standard Lizardfolk.
After looking the figure over, I decided it was good enough as-is. Yes, I could have repainted the 'too silver' macehead, or added more highlighting to the dark armor… but I just wanted a quick 'monster' or NPC for my gaming.
Since the cast-on rubbery base was fairly stiff, I chose not to replace it, and simply flocked the top. (I used grass flocking, so he must be a wilderness encounter!)
To help keep the flocking in place, and also to tone down some of the shininess of the pre-painted figure, I sprayed the figure with Chalked dull clearcoat.
For storage purposes, I slapped an adhesive FlexSteel base from LITKO on the bottom. I trimmed it by hand for a better fit.
And since the original base is now covered, I used a white Gelly Roll pen to write an identification on the 'new' bottom.
Quick and easy project.
