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, […]

Chronopia: The Adamantite Golem

Random mini of the week #2: Adamantite Golem from the defunct Fantasy skirmish game Chronopia, from the end of the 1990s. Chronopia was produced by Target Games, who also made Warzone, and was in it’s day the only company that might have given Games Workshop a run for the money. Not that the games […]

Deathrattles

Random mini of the week 1: The Bears Head Miniatures “Skeleton Musician 1” playing the maracas! Talk about your literal Deathrattle miniature. Just your basic nekkid skellie, armed with rattleheads. Chica chica chica! Very basic and quick paint job, the whole thing in yellowed bone over a grey undercoat, a wash of Citadel Reikland […]

Oldhammer Skaven Throt the Unclean

Next in line of Oldhammer minis liberated from the clutches of the Drawers of Doom™, is Throt the Unclean. In the lore, this three armed, warpstone-eyed ravenous master mutator has risen to preeminence in Clan Moulder, even to the ranks of the Nine Lords of the Skaven themselves. He looks a bit different today… […]

Unknown oriental whatsit

I got this metal mini as a part of a trade or lot purchase from a forum some time ago. I have no idea what it really is, or who produced it. I would expect some historical series. Please let me know if you recognize it. The face is actually not symmetrical and there […]

Bubble, Boil and Trouble, the Plague Brothers

The three something-chaos warriors from Heartbreaker Hobbies from the earlier Miniatures Rescue post, finished: I call them Bubble, Boil and Trouble, the Plague Brothers. (Most of) the cloak is the only bit I kept from the original paint. How I painted them is documented in that post. Plague Warrriors […]

Kings of War: Forest Shamblers

If you go down to the woods today… For my Kings of War Forces of Nature army, The Children of the Forest I have a smattering of miniatures for the Forces of Nature, including a starter army from the November 2014 Kings of War 2nd ed kickstarter, delivered second half of 2015. In addition to […]

The Ghosts of Midlam Manor: Kasperov

Midlam Miniatures is a small company that has run several kickstarters for specific sets of metal miniatures. This one is from a set called “The Ghosts of Midlam Manor” and was for a set of 10 ghostly minis, back in early 2018. My experience with Midlam is very good, I have backed a few of […]

Is it Confrontation? A Grim Reaper-style skeleton

A metal miniature that I got in a trade some time ago. I do not actually know who made it or what it is called. I think it is a Confrontation miniature on account of the scale, the quality of the sculpt, and because of the horribly thin arm parts that needed to be superglued […]

What turned out to be a D&D 3.5 Skeleton Minotaur

Thanks to Xiwo Xerase at the Reapermini forum for identifying this mini: a Dungeons & Dragons 3.5-branded Skeleton Minotaur with code WOC 88287, made by Wizards of the Coast and sculpted by Jim Warner, released some time in the period 2000-2008. — Does anybody recognize this mini? I got this mini from a forum trade or lot […]

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 […]
