Recently found this Ogre from Knightmare Miniatures that matched my Mootlanders warband so perfectly I had to cook it up! Really happy with how it came out considering it's been about a year since I had the Moots recipe fresh.

More facts about Niko Grigg, the protagonist of my current WIP Making Monsters.
"Caulborn" is a term used in Middilgard, the world of MAKING MONSTERS, for those who are born wrapped in the amniotic sac. This is a direct reference to real life Benandanti and Italian history and folklore.

THE WITCHER meets ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK in MAKING MONSTERS, a Grimdark SFF novel.
NOT a romance or romantasy.

SOME FACTS ABOUT NIKO GRIGG, THE PROTAGONIST OF MAKING MONSTERS
PART IIA rusty background with hexagonal shapes. The picture includes the artwork depicting the MC of Making Monsters by Freddie A. Clark, Niko Grigg, a beefy, heavily tattooed man in his thirties, wearing leather clothes and spikes. He has short blond hair, light blue eyes, and a cigarette in his mouth. He joins his hands in prayer in a mocking way as he stands against a wall full of graffiti. Angel wings are painted on the wall behind him. The artwork is by the Italian artist Martina Belli.

Like all Benandanti, Niko is a caulborn. Being born wrapped in his amniotic sac gave him innate shamanic powers and the ability to see the dead.
DNA manipulation made him a Nephilim while still in the womb. Explaining this further would be a massive spoiler.A rusty background with hexagonal shapes. The picture includes a portrait of Freddie A. Clark with heavy cybernetic augmentations, posing like Aleister Crowley. Art by Martina Belli.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

It's a solid set up novel for the first trilogy, with Logen, Glokta and Jezal as morally grey characters, who for the most part are interesting to read. Personally, with this style of story, I needed more plot to get fully immersed.

A brown book with scribbles, maths equations and blood on.

Since a young age, Nicolas โ€œNikoโ€ Grigg showed a cocky attitude and disrespect for authority. Aged 17, Niko was jailed for arson and imprisoned in Hellgate, Sulphuriaโ€™s maximum security prison.
He was released for false accusations not long after.
Once free he was trained by the dhampir Artemis Vespershade to the profession of Benandante, a spell-casting monster hunter.A rusty background with hexagonal shapes.

Lafig Miniatures Space Forbans Kickstarter wrapped last week. 22nd(!) campaign, still channelling pre-grimdark Rogue Trader when space pirates looked like 2000AD nightclub refugees. Forbans, were pirates that were too piratey for other pirates... #Scifi #Grimdark #oldhammer l.d20.ninja/uDth5b

Five colorful 3D-printed miniatures stand in a row, each depicting unique characters from a sci-fi theme. From left to right, they include a blue-skinned figure with a skull face, a green-clad character with a beard, an orange-suited figure holding a weapon, a blue and gray character aiming a gun, and a yellow-clad figure. Above them, the title "SPACE FORBAND" is displayed prominently, along with the text "STL and 3D printed miniatures" below.

A very brief introduction of Nicolas "Niko" Grigg, the protagonist of my current WIP Making Monsters.

Niko is not a hero and he's no stranger to Hellgate, an island turned maximum security prison. More info about how he managed to leave will be added to a future post ๐ŸŒ

This post also contains a short list of characters with the same vibe as him. Which one is your favorite?

Cubicle 7's Thirst of Three sends your party into the Great Forest to find a missing contact in a remote village where isolation breeds superstition and something worse. Ancient traditions, wary locals, horrors in the trees. Very County Wicklow, 1986. #WFRP #TheOldWorld #Warhammer #grimdark l.d20.ninja/hcvYEN

The image features the title "Warhammer: The Old World Roleplaying Game" prominently displayed in bold, stylized lettering, with "Roleplaying Game" in a contrasting red font. In the background, a dark forest setting is depicted, with various characters, including a mounted figure and others wielding weapons, suggesting a tense and adventurous atmosphere. The overall tone conveys a sense of mystery and danger, aligning with the folk horror theme of the new scenario, "Thirst of Three."
