Lead Painters League second round

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 […]

Shadows of 7 Sins and see-through minis

…5 Gooooolden Rings! ‘Tis the first week of Christmas, and time is scarce in the face of working at a shop and my sons birthday celebrations. But I have managed to squeeze some painting in now and then, resulting in these: First, a recap of how to deal with translucent minis: Clear minis […]

Into the Silver Tower: The Kairic Acolytes

I had a spurt of painting the minis from Warhammer Quest: The Silver Tower boardgame some months ago, but many miniatures have been languishing unpainted. I thought it time to take up a bit of the slack, as it were. First up is the coven of Kairic Acolytes. These are the Chanters of Change, cultits […]

3Dprint: Gorilla

Just a few years ago, someone* wrote in their results statements thingy** that 3D-printing miniatures is not in any way a threat to the miniatures industry: “We know quite a lot about 3-D printers, having been at the forefront of the technology for many years. We know of what we speak. One day 3-D printers […]

The Great and Purple Worm!

Reaper released a few minis in Bones before taking them to kickstarter the first time. Here is one of them: And what a beauty it is! That head would take pride of place in the monster hunter’s wall of stuffed trophies! I really don’t know why I have not painted one this earlier. […]

Dark Vengeance: Chaos Marine with Lightning Claws

Every few months I get the itch for some Chaos Marines. Good thing I have the minis from Dark Vengeance set lying about to scratch with. Here is the third one of the squad I have completed. They take ages to do, with all the busy details, so the squad will probably be finished sometime […]

Minivember: Newhammer Spirit Hosts

The second and third Spirit Hosts from the Malignants starter set I bought some time ago. Their small joints did not appreciate my heavy-handed drybrushing of these models, and so they kept breaking apart, needing repairs. Again and again. Argh! Malignant models indeed! I do not like to paint larger models identically, but […]

Into the Silver Tower: Blanka, the Ogroid Thaumaturge

And the award for most pretentious name given to a class of model 2016 goes to… The Ogroid Thaumaturge! ’cause GW can’t own the more classic Ogre Mage. (“Traumaturge” would have been a great name for this one) After a harrying time fighting through the streets beating up all the little girls and beefy men around […]

Into the Silver Tower: Skaven Deathrunners

This month I have been painting just small drips and dabs here and there in between everything else in what little time I have had for such things. So I have not really been able to do all that much. But I did get few hours in yesterday, and so I managed to actually finish […]

Into the Silver Tower: Pink and Brimstone Horrors of Tzeentch

At last I got round to finishing the last Pink Horror: For some reason, this one took ages and ages and ages to finish. And the delightful little Brimstone Horrors: These little fiery fiends are apparently what a Blue Horror splits into when killed. Love ’em! I used black flock as they have burned […]

The Stormcast Eternals aka Sigmarines

So I bought the Age of Sigmar game set when it was new, (Has it been a full year already?) and today I finished the first of the miniatures from it. After prepping and priming them, I have been putting them off and off and off while deciding upon a paint scheme that does not take […]

Into the Silver Tower: The Purple Horror of Tzeentch

The Pink Purple Horror: The other is pink, but a way of to be finished. These have so much detail and take ages to paint! Pink Horror of Tzeentch / Herald of Tzeentch from the Silver Tower base game set by Games Workshop also for Age of Sigmar / Warhammer 40.000 HIPS plastic […]
