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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
