Bobbybox pt 12: The Warpath Orx, and KoW Goblin Spitters

The time has come for the Warpath Orx Marauder Command figures, and the Kings of War Goblin Spitters. There were two sprues of the old Marauder Orx Command, each with parts to make two miniatures plus extras for the bits box. When Mantic first was set up, they had a clear made-for-Warhammer-but-much-cheaper-to-buy profile. The Mantic minis […]

Bobbybox pt 8: Abyssals

I have not posted for a while as I have been off on holiday to sunny Spain. And then I came home to Norway with a lovely freezing -11 degrees below C and a thick carpet of snow that needed to be shovelled away by hand. Hurrah! But before I left I completed the remaining […]

Bobbybox pt 7: Elven Bowmen regiment and the DS Mawbeast

Polishing off the rest of the elves from the bobbybox today. These were done in much the same fashion as the spearmen: Basecoated with Vallejo Model Air French Blue (I have made a mistake and written the wrong name of the paint in the earlier post, sorry about that. I can feel my memory going, […]

Bobbybox, pt 6: Quick Elves spearmen troop + Orclings

These last couple weeks I have been down and out with seasonal Manflu. Urgh. Must have been those Plague minis. So I have not been able or in the mood to paint much, and what I did do, took ages longer than usual. When I first saw the Mantic Elves these minis struck me as […]

More from The Others: 7 Sins and Shadows of Brimstone

In the Others: 7 Sins, the agents of F.A.I.T.H. are fighting a losing fight against the encroaching forces of Sin, whose corruption already has manifested in large parts of the city’s remaining population…infesting all social strata from the very bottom to the very top. Such as The Mayor Your regular Dr Octopus. Colours of […]

Shadows of Brimstone: Random Large Enemies

Travelling back to Shadows of Brimstone, the wierd west tentacular horror scifi mashup dungeon crawler! Beyond the base game sets there are loads of expansions to add to the game, thanks to the kickstarter blowing up beyond Flying Frogs wildest expectations. The delivery should have been August 2014 according to the KS campaign itself. The base […]

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 […]

From the Flesh Eater Courts

I made something in tinkercad for my 3D printer: These are 20mm and 25mm round bases with chamfered edges and a 16mm recess that fits the older Mantic models. You can download the files from Thingiverse. I did not want to build any new minis off the many sprues I got lying about, as the […]

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 […]
