Spreading the Disease: Classic Plaguebearers rebased and expanded

Nurgle has always been the Chaos power I found most appealing. With the advent of the Death Guard in the 40k 8th ed starter sets, I have started collecting a new 40k Death Guard army. Yeah, well. A massive fail of the willpower throw there. So I have been building loads of the new models, […]

At the Foothills of Terrain: Roadside Shrine, Bookshelf and Treasure

Chugging along doing terrain and scenery bits. There are still a few items left to do before the immediate vincinity is clear of the stuff… Here is a piece I picked up at Forge World during a visit to GW headquarters back in 1999, right before Mordheim was released. This was before Forge World had […]

Terraining: Grendel Mushrooms and Armorcast Alien Plant Piece

There has been a lot of terrain done up lately, as I am still pressing on with getting some of the many ancient resin terrain pieces I have table ready. and going forward I expect to do a few pieces in between miniatures ever so often. I have a bunch of them cluttering up my […]

More Oathsworn Resin Terrain and other bits

In a bid to clear some shelf space, I have delved deeper into the foothills of terrain cluttering up the place. We start with the resin Summoning Circle terrain from the Oathsworn Burrows and Badgers: New Blood Kickstarter: The menhirs spell out “Oathsworn” in the elder Futhark (Norse Runic alfabet), here starting at […]

From Ye Pile of Olde: RAFM Earth Elemental

Every so often I go down into the musty cellar to go snorkeling in the old boxes o’ minis just to rediscover some of the many minis I have forgotten I own. And every time I resurface with a few interesting minis that go into my “need to prep” pile. Some months later, I might […]

Two snotlings and a baby squig

After I got my 3D printer I have been printing off a bunch of lipped bases in different sizes to do my random minis up. So naturally, some of my random little minis get based every once in a while. Such as these little darlings: These are mounted on 20mm bases. […]

Isle of the Beholders: Reaper metal Eye Beast

From ye pile of olde! I rediscovered this metal mini in one of my stored basement boxes the other day. I have no idea why I did not paint it back in the day. One quick paint job later: 02712: Eye Beast Reaper Miniatures sculpted by Julie Guthrie white metal 40mm base […]

Nothing done this last month…so here are some rats

Almost a whole month has come and gone without me touching brush to mini. So to get back on track I chose do some minis that are quick and easy. First up are what I have left of the Warhammer Quest Giant Rats. I have only found 7 of the original 12, as […]

Clearing the shelf, part II: Swamp Goblin blowing their own pipes

I still have some recalcitrant shelf sitters that stand around cluttering up my little trays of “to do” minis. So we start with trying to get a sort of fresh-ish start for the new year. In the spirit of clearing away some old sins, here are some more of the Chronopia Swamp Goblins. This time […]

Year’s End Shelf Clearing: Chronopia Swamp Goblins!

The End is Nigh and the built up clutter on my little shelf needs to go. We start with this little squad of Swamp Goblins from the defunct game Chronopia. Rather uninspired. I simply could not be bothered to go that extra mile with these, which is probably why they have been sitting […]

Ye Pile of Olde: Papa Growler

Another ancient mini from around the turn of the century, the Big Bull of the Razorback Growlers, from FASA corp’s Vor: the Maelstrom game. The game was a sci-fi skirmish game set in a universe dominated by “the maelstrom” which mashed bits of different worlds together, leading to many possible cultures clashing. The Growlers were an […]

Warhammer Quest: The Spiders

So we come to the Giant Spiders from the original Warhammer Quest game. I use some sandpaper on the ends of the legs to get a larger surface for gluing to the bases. I used 30mm bases because I like them. So there. Real bitch to get the paint and then glue for the flocking underneath […]
