More Goblins…and they have a Cave Troll!

Today, we are finishing up the Goblins from the Bones 4 core set. We start with the Goblin Heroes subset from the Bones 4 core set. Goblin Heroes Reaper Miniatures, Bones 4 KS 2017 Sculpted by Bobby Jackson Bonesium PVC. 25mm bespoke 3D printed round lipped base Currently not released yet, […]

Bones 3+4 Goblins

Delving into the Bones 4 core set, we start by pulling out the 24 bonus goblins that originally were in the Bones 3 core set. And add to them the 12 that I have from the previous kickstarter for a grand total of 36 goblins, 6 each of 6 different sculpts. I actually think I […]

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! […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

A bunch of Random Bones

The Bones lottery in the Drawers of Doom™ came up with the following this week: 1: Dragoth the Defiler on Throne. Just look at the strength of that undead overlord! Holding his sword casually in the air with his arm outstretched, Darth Vader-style! This mini is from the second Bones kickstarter core set. I based […]

Bones Black: The Rock Troll

From the fourth Bones kickstarter (no, I have not received my shipment yet, not even a shipping notice). This minis was sold online and given as a freebie if you ordered for more than USD 40 from the Reaper site in February this year. When I ordered it I was not aware that this mini […]

Bones 1: Hydra!

I have made a conscious choice to try to get some of the earliest Bones miniatures painted before the Bones 4 kickstarter shipment arrives. The reasoning behind this is that the quality increase from the earlier Bones to the newer ones is so dramatic to make many of the older ones unappealing. So to get […]

HATE: Tribe of Sarrassa

HATE is a big box board game by CMON based on the comic book series “Chronicles of Hate” by Adrian Smith, who happens to be the art director for CMON. Funny coincidence right there for you. Kickstarted by CMON in January 2018 and delivered first quarter 2019. I have not read the Chronicles of HATE, […]

Bones: Giants of the Storm Clouds

In the first Bones kickstarter Reaper made several pairs of Giants. This pair was labeled as Storm Giants at the time. For some reason, the female is quite a lot smaller than the male. Say what you will, they certainly are giant sized when compared with humans! I chose to paint them as […]
