Ghouls’ Night Out

Moving to the Tray of Miniatures that are Prepared And Ready To Paint #42, we come to this little group of Ghouls that are out and about with their Strigoi chaperone. Originally released for Warhammer Fantasy Battles 5th edition back in 1999 (they say 1998 on the slotta tab) 32 of the blighters including one […]

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 […]

Urutaa: A Plague of Daemons

Urutaa is a Maori word meaning “pestilence” and “plague” and “fever”. It is also a sound that evokes “METAL!”. So I will call the whole army Urutaa. Because they kill you FILTHY! I bought heavily into the new editon 40k and especially the Death Guard when they were released. At the same time I also […]

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 […]

Into the Silver Tower: The Kairic Acolytes

I had a spurt of painting the minis from Warhammer Quest: The Silver Tower boardgame some months ago, but many miniatures have been languishing unpainted. I thought it time to take up a bit of the slack, as it were. First up is the coven of Kairic Acolytes. These are the Chanters of Change, cultits […]

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. […]

And the skeleton archers

Finishing up that lot of skeletons, here are the archers: Ended up being a bit heavy with the drybrushing on the bows, but can’t be bothered to fix them. 12 Skeletons with bows Warhammer Fantasy Battles, undead faction Games Workshop, 1980s and 90s HIPS plastic 30mm bases Painted so far this month: […]

I see a Horde of Skeletons Sauntering Slowly

I recently bought a lot of 50+ older style plastic Citadel Skeletons off Ebay for less than the price of a single squad of 10 new ones, and have spent a few evenings plonking away at them. When I received the horde in the mail, many of the minis were reduced to parts, with many […]

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 […]

A bit about base 3D printing; also Cry Havoc! And let slip the Hounds of Chaos!

Last year I bought a unit of unbuilt Chaos Hounds off Ebay on a whim. Which turned out to have no bases and missing a horn. Sigh. When you buy on the cheap, youse gets whats youse gets. First I stuck them on square cavalry bases, but that looked just wrong. I think I have […]

Minivember: Oldhammer Skeleton C17 “Cript Fighter “

Up next is a mini I recently acquired through a trade, together with the Ghoul Goon Squad: I was not sure which model this was, apart from it being quite older than the Ghouls. A bit of google-fu showed it to be from the Citadel 1987 “C17 Skeleton Warriors” line. And the name is “Cript […]
