One of the reasons I joined the Lead Painters League was that I sometimes need a kick in the seat of my pants to get out of my comfort zone and paint something different. I have over the years amassed a veritable mountain range of minis, alot of which have come from an assortment of […]
Read More Lead Painters League Round 5It has been a busy week with not much time for hobby, so this post is later than it might have been. Round 4 of the Lead Painter’s League had the optional theme of a support weapon with at least four crew. Here is my entry: This is a Goblin Man-Mangler by Crooked Claw […]
Read More Lead Painters League round 4The third round is done, here is my entry: “Off to off the wizard” The figures are from Reaper Bones KS3, “Chronoscope* Wild West Oz”. Since they all were armed, I see this as a sort of hit squad, hence the title. I based them on 30mm round display bases from Reaper, and I […]
Read More Lead Painters League round 3The fourth round of the Lead Painter’s League has a “support weapon” theme. I painted the following with this in mind, but I ended up entering something else instead. The Sledgehammer BFG by Victoria Miniatures via the Reaper Bones third kickstarter. I have not actually painted any large vehicles or similar kits like this in […]
Read More It’s Sledgehammer Time!The second round is over, and here is my entry: The Hog Wild Crew from the game Malifaux by Wyrd Games. Warning: I don’t play Malifaux, but I do love these minis. Apologies in advance about any in-game mistakes I might make here. These are the entire contents of the boxed set called “Hog […]
Read More Lead Painters League second roundThese last few weeks I have not posted anything here on my painting blog, as I have been busy with real life and have chosen to enter the Lead Painters League season 12 on the Lead Adventure Forum The league rules boil down to a minimum of 6 rounds of weekly entries, each entry consisting […]
Read More Entering The Lead Painters League season 12Not too much time dedicated to painting anything this week, but I did manage to get the vehicles from the Bobbybox done. These were all from Warpath, and included an old school Orx Raptor trike and three new-school (is that even an expression?) Veermyn Tunnel Runner monowheel-things. While I was at it, I decided to […]
Read More Bobbybox pt 13: The Vehicles (and another one)The time has come for the Warpath Orx Marauder Command figures, and the Kings of War Goblin Spitters. There were two sprues of the old Marauder Orx Command, each with parts to make two miniatures plus extras for the bits box. When Mantic first was set up, they had a clear made-for-Warhammer-but-much-cheaper-to-buy profile. The Mantic minis […]
Read More Bobbybox pt 12: The Warpath Orx, and KoW Goblin SpittersPowering on with the Bobbybox, we come to the DeadZone Marauders. I got 5 Orx Commandos and 2 Goblin snipers. In the Warpath universe shared by the DeadZone game, the Marauders are green-skinned, brutish-looking aliens that are highly disciplined militaristic mercenaries that function both as shock troops for corporations and also follow their own agenda. A […]
Read More Bobbybox pt 11: The DeadZone MaraudersEaster and a day or two off from work and all that. At last some time to get some serious painting in. We continue the Bobbybox saga with some Deadzone Rebs minis. In the bobbybox there were 4 little bags of Rebs minis, totalling 10 minis in two sets of 5 identical pairs. As […]
Read More Bobbybox pt 10: The DeadZone RebsThis last month I have been intermittently plonking away at the remainder of the Abyssals from the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter. I had this idea when pledging that these minis would be forming the start of a Kings of War army. I ordered two extra sets of the Abyssals so I would have 5 sets of […]
Read More SideQuest: Dungeon Saga: AbyssalsI have spent a couple weeks without painting much. Time to continue chipping away at the Bobbybox. Now we come to the The Mars Attacks! Martians. My eyesight is not what it once was, and I found I struggled mightly with the smaller details such as eyes on these. In the end I gave up […]
