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 […]

Warhammer Quest: The Bats

A full dozen big, blind bats. Wings took too long with my shaky hands slopping paint all over making lines where no lines should be, needing fixing again and again. I chose to base them on 30mm bases for stability. Giant Bats from the Warhammer Quest game set Games Workshop, from 1995 HIPS polystyrene […]

Warhammer Quest: The Little Green Men

I have been rummaging a bit through my boxes of yesteryear, looking for specific minis to sell. Always a bit of fun that, rediscovering minis I have forgotten I had, especially when they are primed and ready to paint. The other day I found a bag full of the dungeon critters from Warhammer Quest… I have been […]
