Endless Spells: The Soulsnare Shackles

I love the concept of representing persistent spells with miniatures, and with the Malign Sorcery box released earlier this year for Age of Sigmar, GW made some excellent minis. In game you buy them for points just as if they were troops. Much like summoning daemons or raising undead. Which actually makes perfect sense when […]

Warhammer Underwear: Sepulchral Guard

And so we come to the ancient and restless dead in the Warhammer Underworlds. The Sepulchral Guard. Which also is a great name for a thrash metal band. I painted these in November, but have not had the time to take pictures before now. Sorry about the slightly blurry pictures, a leg […]

Warhammer Underwear: Magore’s Fiends

Next up of the Shadespire teams is Magore’s Fiends, the Blades of Khorne Blood Warriors: One of the last pair of sets released for Shadespire before they started the new season with Nighvault were the Khorne Blood Warriors with Fleshhound, and was criticized for being too similar to the minis in the Storm […]

Urutaa: A Plague of Daemons

Urutaa is a Maori word meaning “pestilence” and “plague” and “fever”. It is also a sound that evokes “METAL!”. So I will call the whole army Urutaa. Because they kill you FILTHY! I bought heavily into the new editon 40k and especially the Death Guard when they were released. At the same time I also […]

Warhammer Underwear: Ironskull’s Boyz

The third warband to get some attention is the orc big’uns, sorry, Orruk Ironjawz one. I like how they have evolved the orcs in Age of Sigmar, following the scale creep by making even bigger big’uns. I am not too enthused about the name changes, even though I do understand the IP-ownership reasons for it. […]

Warhammer Underwear: Garrek’s Reavers

Thumping out the other half of the Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire starter set: Garrek’s Reavers, the Khorne Bloodbound squad of angry, blood-crazed bullyboys. Five of them as opposed to the three Cybermen Stormcast Eternals. Garrek’s Reavers Games Workshop From the Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire base set (recently rereleased as a seperate warband for WU: […]

Bobbybox pt 14: Skeletons of the Lost Crusade

Picking up work on the rest of the bobbybox miniatures, untouched since before Easter(!), here are the contents of the Skeleton Troop Sprue all done: 10 skeleton infantry, a skeletal dog (or is it a rat), and the top of a skeleton dragging itself up from the grave I already have (the start […]

Easy does it. Getting back into it.

So I have not painted anything since early June due to tendonitis in both arms. Now, at last, my arms are better, and I can get back to some painting. However, my IRL circumstances have recently changed and this will cut seriously back on my free time the rest of this and the first half of […]

Lead Painters League round 7

The seventh round was the quarter finals, featuring just the top 8 on the leaderboard after round 6. I was chuffed to be one of the quarterfinalists. This round had a compulsory Historical theme, “Round 7 – Explorers, settlers and pioneers. A team comprising a party of historical explorers, settlers or pioneers. From Conquistadors to […]

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 […]
