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! […]

Heresy Azaroth as Darkness

I am the Lord of Darkness. I require the solace of the shadows, and the dark of the night. Sunshine is my destroyer. All this shall change. Tonight, the sun sets forever There shall never be another dawn! — thus begins the 1985 Fantasy movie Legend, directed by Ridley Scott and starring a very […]

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 […]

Bones 1: Hellakin Goregutter, Halfling Rogue

I have not really had the inclination to paint much the last few weeks, such is the way of the world. Picking up the brush again, we start with another one from the first Bones kickstarter that as been cluttering up my painting desk in a half-done state since whenever. Nothing special really, […]

Titan Forge Zomblin Command Group

A pair of quirky and fun resin minis I bought as part of a second hand lot. These turned out to be by Titan Forge, undead goblins or Zomlins as they call them, a part of their “Drakskull’s Legion” range. A quick and dirty paint job, the banner is flayed from a giant […]

Bones 1: Ingrid, Female Gnome

Another one of the half-painted minis on my painting station shelf, now done: Looks like she found a shining stone. Not sure if the OSL worked all that well on this mini. So a gnome is basically a hobbit with boots? From the first Bones kickstarter. 77167 Ingrid, Female Gnome Reaper Miniatures, Bones […]

Oathsworn Heroes: Pru Slee, Halfling Monk

June came and went with very little to show for it. Painting miniatures has not been a priority this month, I have had enough with taking my final exams, receiving and prepping all of Shadows of Brimstone: The Forbidden Fortress shipment and the Bones 4 core set, on top of remodelling the Mountains of Minis […]

Oathsworn: Ingrid Deathseeker

Back in 2013 I came across a kickstarter campaign called “Heroes of the Dwarfs” by a small start up company called Oathsworn. The creator sculpted the models himself, and the greens on display were very oldhammery and full of character. I went in for a massive three minis, being a bit cautious at the time, […]

Ramshackle Dunger

I got this mini as part of a joblot of second hand models I traded for (or purchased, honestly I don’t remember). I had no idea what is was, apart from that it was made by Ramshackle Games. Today I used my Google-Fu to visit the Ramshackle webshop and find out that it is a […]

Bones 2: The Sea Hag

From the second Bones kickstarter, the Sea Hag: A very simple but effective paint job. I started with a black undercoat with a heavy-ish light grey zenithal primer on. I slapped some Vallejo Nocturna Natural Flesh on the lower rags and Scale75 Arbuckles Brown on the top rags. Then I sloshed CItadel Athonian Camoshade all […]

Bunch of Bones again

Random minis of the week #3-7, Bones 3. Formorian Giant aka The Great Mutato! (Did they spell Fomorian wrong on purpose? Fomorians being monstrous, supernatural creatures from the underworld of Irish mythology, much like the Jotun frost giants of Norse) From Bones 3 core set, this Chaos mutant thingy takes the medal for […]
