Figures – Encounter Table Games

Figure Conversions – Completed

Well, it’s taken far longer than it should have, but the figure conversions are completed! Let’s take a look at them 🙂

Figure Conversions – Part 3

Painting the figures has been taking more time than expected, and other things have been cropping up as well to steal time from them. While that’s all going on, I thought it might be interesting to see some of the in-progress pictures.

Figure Conversions – Part 2

Having decided on the figures and conversion parts I was going to use, in this post we’ll look at the first stages of the conversion process.

Figure Conversions – Part 1

In a recent post, I talked about how the EM4 plastic figures are a good basis for conversions – in fact, I was going to do a few myself. Well, the time has come to put my money where my mouth is: I’m going to do a series of articles on converting some of them.

Playtesting Models

As part of the game development process, I prefer to use figures rather than cardboard counters or plastic tokens or meeples or something. I do have same vague justifications for this – I need to be able to test with other people who are non-gamers and figures are easier for them to see what’s being represented; and it also lets me try out figures from different sources to see which might be worth using as sources. Honestly, though, it’s mostly because I prefer to push around figures which look cool! In this post, I’ll be talking about the figures I like to use.
