Daily miniature: Plaguecrawler
This plastic model was part of the ‘easy-to-build’ range that games Workshop released a few years back. They don’t use this label on plastic kits any more. Maybe because it … Continue reading
Will this banana destroy the hobby?
It might. I was watching a recent Juggz podcast, and the interesting part for me begins at 47 minutes when they are talking about their recent outing to a trade … Continue reading
Daily miniature: dwarf adventurers
Every party needs a warrior and a wizard, and these dwarf models deliver. I notice the female figure has a headband that I didn’t pick up when first painting – … Continue reading
Daily miniature: hammer dwarf
This metal figure was an early experiment in painting miniatures using only Contrast paints. I found the muted colours suited this sculpt well.
Daily miniature: dungeon goblins
This trio of miniatures came with the first Bones Kickstarter. There were a dozen of these in total, 4 in each of the three poses seen here. A useful mob … Continue reading
Classic metals, made to order
Games Workshop have put up some trolls and a giant as their latest made-to-order range, which offers a chance to buy classic metal models for a limited time. The latest … Continue reading
Daily miniature: woodsman
This figure is a fairly rare Talisman adventurer. Games Workshop made metal models for the characters in the second edition of the game. I have maybe 4 or 5. They … Continue reading
Grombrindal miniature for White Dwarf 500
I featured the new Grombrindal art a couple of weeks ago. What I hadn’t realised is that as well as some great new art, there will also be a new … Continue reading
Once upon a Wednesday: painting lessons
My long break from painting meant I restarted slowly. I still had all my supplies, and my paints had weathered over a year of idleness rather well. As I started … Continue reading
Daily miniature: Viktorias
These are two metal models from the first edition of Malifaux. They also have the honour of being the subject of my very first post on this blog, back in … Continue reading
The colours of Kroot
Warhammer Community have a new painting article ahead of the new Tau Codex release. This article focuses on the many (many!) different ways a Kroot force can be painted. From … Continue reading
Daily miniature: Elf adventurer
I don’t recall this model’s name. He was released as a hired sword for the classic Mordheim skirmish game. I have looked for other examples of this model painted, but … Continue reading
Daily miniature: Aekold Helbrass
Another classic metal model. Aekold Helbrass is a champion of Tzeentch. He is cursed to have things grow and regenerate around him. This can include healing a foe he has … Continue reading
Daily miniature: chaos sorcerer
This is among the oldest miniatures I have. I think only the original Blood Bowls teams were painted before this figure. I can confidently date this to 1996, where it … Continue reading
Once upon a Wednesday: SAGA Anglo-Danes
SAGA is still my favourite skirmish game on the market, whether it’s the historical or fantasy version of the setting. In 2018 I embarked on a series of faction reviews … Continue reading
Daily miniature: arcane ruins
This was painted up as a two-sided terrain piece. On one side the ground is normal, and the henge is stone, with carved eyes glowing. On the other: …things look … Continue reading
Daily miniature: Bretonnian knight
This figure came as an adventurer for the original Warhammer Quest game. I painted this almost as soon as I bought it, back in the 1990s. Clearly I really wanted … Continue reading
Daily miniature: pipes
Always a useful terrain piece in science fiction games. Large pipes like these provide useful cover without completely obscuring models from each other.
Daily miniature: classic Blood Bowl orcs
For some reason I was happy with bright green skin here. This also predates my understanding that to highlight green, you mix in yellow. Also featuring no highlights and far … Continue reading
Daily miniature: ogre
Another 1990s paint job from me. This metal ogre was used as the ogre warrior adventurer in Warhammer Quest. And very effective he was too!
