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! […]

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 […]

Oldhammer Skaven Throt the Unclean

Next in line of Oldhammer minis liberated from the clutches of the Drawers of Doom™, is Throt the Unclean. In the lore, this three armed, warpstone-eyed ravenous master mutator has risen to preeminence in Clan Moulder, even to the ranks of the Nine Lords of the Skaven themselves. He looks a bit different today… […]

Bubble, Boil and Trouble, the Plague Brothers

The three something-chaos warriors from Heartbreaker Hobbies from the earlier Miniatures Rescue post, finished: I call them Bubble, Boil and Trouble, the Plague Brothers. (Most of) the cloak is the only bit I kept from the original paint. How I painted them is documented in that post. Plague Warrriors […]

MMR: Three little Heartbreaker Chaos Warriors

Some minis fall out of grace and by the wayside for one reason or the other, not to be taken out of storage until decades have passed. Decades! Inspired by the OTT “Spring Cleaning” challenge, we will try to heal these broken birds’ wings so they might take to the skies once again. We go […]

Some other Werewolves! (And a Death Dog)

In the spirit of getting things done, I have just been grabbing some minis off the Trays of miniatures I am going to get round to any day now oh yes for sure that definately is going to happen to paint in parallell with other stuff where I use the same colours. This time I did some more […]

The Zen of Moria Goblin Spearmen

Sometimes all I want to do is to Zen out when painting. For this I have found that batch-painting a large unit of whatever is a good way to reach the flow state where the mind is disengaged. This time I did a 20-strong unit of Moria Goblins for my planned Kings of War goblin […]

The forgotten Cthonian

Whoops I seem to have forgotten to post this mini I painted back in October for the LAF Old School Painting Party. So here goes now: This is an old metal Cthonian aka Carnivorous Worm, from the Call of Cthulhu line made by RAFM co. I bought it back in the day, […]

Warhammer Underwear: Steelhearts Champions

I seem to constantly be on the back foot with playing catchup with new releases. So naturally, I come around to the Warhammer Underworlds first season starter set after they release the second seasons one… I have held the thought to do all the Shadespire models for some time. Since I now am done with […]

Middle-school Skaven

I have not had the time to paint anything these last few weeks, but I did this pair for the LAF old school painting party back in September. Somehow I forgot to post them here. This is your bog standard Skaven Packmaster, 90s era. I have used a modern lipped 30mm round base. Originally […]

Beware the Jabberwock, my son (the ancient one!)

I have been mining my mountains of minis on the hunt for miniatures from last century to paint and enter in The Old School Fantasy Painting Party over on the LAF forum, I have uncovered a few nuggets of golden oldies I would like a crack at. However, whether I can manage to make time to paint […]
