Bones 2: Rodents of Unusual Size

Reaper make Skaven in Bonesium too! Of course, they are called “wererats” not “skaven”. but still. Judge for yourselves: Being Bones, they are slightly soft in the details, especially the smaller minis. They are made of the slightly more rigid Bones material that most of the second kickstarter Bones were done in, and […]

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 […]

Bones: Dungeon Decor, Cthulhu Statues and more

Just finishing off some more bits and bobs cluttering up my workspace, making room for all the goodness to come… From Bones 3: Mythos Expansion: 77525 Great Obelisk. I have tried to vary the tones on the greys used here, on the obelisk itself and not just the cephalopod on top. It really […]

Bones 2: Gelatinous Cube

I remember when, during a dungeon crawling AD&D session a lifetime ago, we entered a part of the dungeon where the corridors were spotlessly clean but for a sign saying “Meet the Cleaner” or something to that effect. And a transparent, quivering wall moving towards us at speed… It ended badly for our party even […]

Bones 3: Cemetary Golem

First, some music: Sometimes I come across a mini I just adore the concept of. This is a golem or contruct made out of gravestones, broken bits of mausoleums, bone fragments and skulls and with Nightmare before Christmas -style cast iron gates for wings! A useful construct for when Necromancy does not make hard enough […]

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 […]

Bones 3! The Air Elementals

We begin with some fitting music: The Bones 3 kickstarter shipment arrived at long last! Hoody Hoo! Which also means I have been in a frenzy of difficult mould line removal, scrubbing little white rubbery plastic bits in warm soapy water, dipping said bits in boiling hot water then cold to unbend bits here […]

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 […]

The Cultists of the Kraken Lord

Late last year, Midlam Miniatures ran a Kickstarter for “The Cultists of the Kraken Lord”, consisting of 10 betentacled, becloaked and bedraggled figures of different aspect, all with a face full of Chtulhuesqe tentacles. And as I am a sucker for tentacles, naturally I just had to have them! One and a half quick and […]

Oathsworn Heroes: The Ninja of Hobbiton!

Been off on my summer holiday, and so have not been painting this last fortnight or so. We begin with: From the 2013 Heroes Kickstarter by Oathsworn Miniatures. Ricky Marrow the Halfling Ninja: Because all proper ninjas wear red sashes or headbands! Classic movies aside, I am planning to try to work through the […]

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 […]
