Shadows of Brimstone: Custodians of Targa

Plonking away at the backlog of wave 1.5 Shadows of Brimstone minis. The Custodians of Targa are spidery robotic servant caretaker automatons, reminiscent of the Dwarven Spider Guardians from Skyrim. The similarities are more than superficial; these are also leftovers of an ancient civilisation that has dissappeared, and patrol the empty halls of their builders, […]

Furnishing the Doll’s Dungeon

For a change of pace, I have finished some of the more terrainy bits and bobs that have been cluttering up my workspace lately. We start with some of the plastic bits from the Conan boardgame, and that are probably the most Dollhouse furniture of them all. Now we can have a nice Tea Party. […]

More from Moria

Another month with no output…last month was 24 minis less than the target. What time I have had has been spent building death guard and doing prepwork on a lot of soon to be painted minis… So, to start to make up for this apparent lack of progress: The second batch of speedpainted Moria […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Harvesters from Beyond

“Harvesters from Beyond” are large treasure seeking aliens crossing the void into our world (or any Otherworld the heroes might be exploring) wearing massive, armoured “deep sea diving” encounter suits. As you might imagine, they are bloody terrifying in game as they are like tanks and very difficult to put down. I did them in different shades […]

Shadows of Brimstone: Reservoir Bandits

Mr. Pink: [about Mr. Blonde] He seems okay now, but he was crazy in the store. Mr. White: This is what he was doing… [mimics randomly shooting innocent bystanders] Mr. White: Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Mr. Blonde: Yeah, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. I told ’em not to touch the alarm… but they touched it. […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Burrower aka we have wormsign!

Peekaboo! Not content with making a massively large monstrous worm to harass the heroes, the makers of Shadows of Brimstone gave their worm the obligatory cthulhoid mass of tentacles sprouting out of it’s gigantic maw! Try stopping that with a six-shooter… Nyah, Nyah, Nyah! It’s big enough to stand on top of and […]

Shadows of Brimstone: The Doorways into Darkness

Life happens, and I get into a funk loosing my painting mojo for weeks on end. It is the way of things. So to get into the groove again, I decided to do some neglected bits, starting with the Doorways into Darkness portals from the expansion by that very same name for Shadows of Brimstone. After […]

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 […]

The Great Goblin of the Misty Mountains

Down, down to Goblin Town! Time for another stab at the Great Goblin. The first time around, I bungled up the skin colour completely, leaving the Great Goblin a dank, purplish mess. Especially as the thing is mostly skin. Disgusted with my failure, I threw the mini into the Drawer of Shame to fester for many months. […]
