The leftovers
Yesterday I finished painting the last of my miniatures, but as I started tidying away my various painting supplies, I realised I have a lot here: One useful item at … Continue reading
Citadel castle walls
My final painted miniature update come in the form of these two wall sections for the classic Citadel Castle. If I recall correctly it was released during the 5th edition … Continue reading
A titan in corporate colours
The Midwinter titan build continues, and this episode shows Guy using power tools to add battle damage to the titan’s armour panels – after practising the varying effects of these … Continue reading
Sphinx of Black Quartz, hear my vow
The title -when correctly written as ‘Sphinx of Black Quartz, judge my vow’- is an alternative sentence to ‘the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ and I think … Continue reading
Warcry terrain
Another issue of Mortal Realms contained this excerpt of terrain from the Warcry box. It painted up nicely although its vertical nature makes it quite unstable on the tray or … Continue reading
A Squidmar surprise
Squidmar posted a new YouTube video talking about how much fun the game Mordheim is, including some interview footage with the creator, Tuomas Pirinen. The surprising part for me comes … Continue reading
Khandish chariot
Part of making a serious plan to get through your miniatures involves looking at figures you might sell or trade away rather than paint. This was the fate of my … Continue reading
Astreia Solbright
I think that’s how you spell it. This is a hero figure from Age of Sigmar which I purchased earlier this year. At the time I thought it would make … Continue reading
In rode the lord of the Nazgul
Getting close to the end of my miniatures you’d think I would be in no hurry to make more from bits, but that’s only because we have never met. I … Continue reading

This figure is the last of my ‘neglected models’ series. Like the Wight, I received this as an extra for a Crowdfunding campaign. This Willy Miniatures troll was intended for … Continue reading
Dungeonbowl chests

Classic chaos knights
It’s April of 1995, and I receive an unexpected phone call from my mother. She is in the Games Workshop store in Cheltenham and she is flustered. I am in … Continue reading
Moving from acrylics to oils
An interesting video from Geek Gaming Scenics (aren’t they all though) popped up, and in this one Luke talks about using oil paints seriously for the first time. Spoiler: he … Continue reading
Blood Bowl wight
This metal figure was one of two bonus figures I received after backing the Willy Miniatures chaos team crowdfunding campaign. The other figure, a troll, is also on this final … Continue reading
Mordor siege bow
I’ve completed this old metal Mordor siege bow and it’s looking nice: The metal was painted in the same way as I did the city guard from Cursed City. I … Continue reading
Zephon
I completed the second of my two Heresy characters, and these remain the only miniatures I have from the range… for now. I painted Zephon using a mix of contrast … Continue reading
Basing for the game not the army
I enjoyed this new video from Dana Howl about basing miniatures. She started by saying she is now using the same basing for all Kill Team forces, and the same … Continue reading
Harald Hardrada, the younger
I have two historical miniatures remaining, and they are both of the same individual. Harald Hardrada lived an interesting life, going from exile, to captain of the Varangian Guard, to … Continue reading
Naeve Blacktalon and the countdown
No it’s not the name of a prog rock band; I have painted an Age of Sigmar hero I accidently purchased a few months ago: This figure is mostly armour … Continue reading
