D&D Water Priest

D&D Water Priest

This miniatures is an official D&D miniature from Gale Force 9 Games for 'Princes of the Apocalypse' or Elemental Evil campaign. I've only painted the priest so far, though the miniatures set comes with Gar Shatterkeel the water cult prophet. There is a painting guide, here's the link: https://dnd.gf9games.com/painting/tabid/140/entryid/211/gar-shatterkeel-and-water-priest-painting-guide.aspx.


Rather than using the painting guide, I decided to use the wonderful illustration from ' The Princes of the Apocalypse' campaign book and my own palette though I found the colours and paints used for the conch shells were great, so I used them.
