Ghouls’ Night Out

Moving to the Tray of Miniatures that are Prepared And Ready To Paint #42, we come to this little group of Ghouls that are out and about with their Strigoi chaperone. Originally released for Warhammer Fantasy Battles 5th edition back in 1999 (they say 1998 on the slotta tab) 32 of the blighters including one […]

More Goblins…and they have a Cave Troll!

Today, we are finishing up the Goblins from the Bones 4 core set. We start with the Goblin Heroes subset from the Bones 4 core set. Goblin Heroes Reaper Miniatures, Bones 4 KS 2017 Sculpted by Bobby Jackson Bonesium PVC. 25mm bespoke 3D printed round lipped base Currently not released yet, […]

Bones 3+4 Goblins

Delving into the Bones 4 core set, we start by pulling out the 24 bonus goblins that originally were in the Bones 3 core set. And add to them the 12 that I have from the previous kickstarter for a grand total of 36 goblins, 6 each of 6 different sculpts. I actually think I […]

The Kings of War: Vanguard scenery

The set of scatter scenery and objective markers that came with the Kings of War Vanguard kickstarter delivery is the first to get some paint. For some reason I need to have these kinds of items painted first, or else they will probably not get painted at all (here is looking at you, Dungeon Saga […]

Urutaa: Epidemius the Tallyman of Nurgle

I mostly buy GW miniatures second hand or heavily discounted off ebay or forums, especially expensive character models like this one. Of course that means that they sometimes arrive in a state that leaves something to be desired. This one had many broken parts and needed alot of TLC before it was ready to paint. […]

Mage Knight Repaint: Tanglewood Spirit

This is even more random than usual for my random mini selection process… I found a bag of old Mage Knight minis, and in amongst all the chaff, this one caught my eye. One quick rebasing and repaint later: Woot! An apple! Everybody come see the promise of new life in this dreary dark forest! […]

Heresy Azaroth as Darkness

I am the Lord of Darkness. I require the solace of the shadows, and the dark of the night. Sunshine is my destroyer. All this shall change. Tonight, the sun sets forever There shall never be another dawn! — thus begins the 1985 Fantasy movie Legend, directed by Ridley Scott and starring a very […]

Harlequin Armoured Minotaur

From the same Box of Doom™ as the suspected Marauder Minotaur, this is a Kev White sculpt released by Harlequin Miniatures in the late 90s. This mini actually has “Kevin White loves his mum and his dad” enscribed under the slab-like rectangular integral base. I probably should have taken a photo of that […]

Marauder? Oldhammer Minotaur

From the ancient Boxes of Doom™ comes this OIdhammer Minotaur. I am actually not sure of the name or type code. I think it is Marauder and not Citadel, as the early Citadel Minotaurs had slots for slottabases, while this one has a peg for the later, large 40mm square base like the Marauder. I […]

Bones 1: Hellakin Goregutter, Halfling Rogue

I have not really had the inclination to paint much the last few weeks, such is the way of the world. Picking up the brush again, we start with another one from the first Bones kickstarter that as been cluttering up my painting desk in a half-done state since whenever. Nothing special really, […]

Titan Forge Zomblin Command Group

A pair of quirky and fun resin minis I bought as part of a second hand lot. These turned out to be by Titan Forge, undead goblins or Zomlins as they call them, a part of their “Drakskull’s Legion” range. A quick and dirty paint job, the banner is flayed from a giant […]

Bones 1: Ingrid, Female Gnome

Another one of the half-painted minis on my painting station shelf, now done: Looks like she found a shining stone. Not sure if the OSL worked all that well on this mini. So a gnome is basically a hobbit with boots? From the first Bones kickstarter. 77167 Ingrid, Female Gnome Reaper Miniatures, Bones […]
