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 […]

Urutaa: Epidemius the Tallyman of Nurgle

I mostly buy GW miniatures second hand or heavily discounted off ebay or forums, especially expensive character models like this one. Of course that means that they sometimes arrive in a state that leaves something to be desired. This one had many broken parts and needed alot of TLC before it was ready to paint. […]

Maggotkin of Nurgle: The Lord of Plagues

For the Age of Sigmar Chaos Nurgle army. The Maggotkin Lord of Plagues. Skin was done in pale blue, Citadel Druuchi Violet Shade and Citadel Athonian Camoshade at the same time. The armour is painted in much the same way as the Heartbreaker plague warriors. This establishes the style of the mortal part of the […]

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… […]

Kill Team Rogue Trader: The Elucidian Starstriders

At long last, the other half of the Kill Team: Rogue Trader box: The actual Rogue Trader and her retinue. I went for a House Atreides look to the uniforms (Green with red and gold trim, inspired by the production design of the 1984 David Lynch Dune movie, which I am sure also has […]

Warhammer Underwear: The Chosen Axes

I have for the longest time been thinking on how to paint these. I knew I did not want to do them all in the official caucasian skin, orange hair that is so prevalent. Options for their look included a Dia de los Muertos or Calaveras de Azucar-style, Pictish blue daub, Voodoo-shadowman-black with painted skeleton on […]

Warhammer Underwear: The Farstriders

My arms are acting up again. (Curse you, painfully inflamed carpal tunnel ligament-thingies!) So I will have to put painting a bit on the back burner for the immediate future until the pain clears up again. Hopefully soon… But I was able to finish the Shadespire Farstriders, the Stormcast Vanguard-Hunters variants. Basically Cybermen with […]

Warhammer Underwear: Thorns of the Briar Queen

The Nighthaunts the Nightvault… ok, enough with the bad puns already. I used these to experiment with some color schemes I wanted to try out for my Nighthaunt army that is patiently awaiting to be brought to life. I chose to do the bases in black flock to represent the life having […]

Warhammer Underwear: Zarbag’s Gitz

The Night Goblins Moonclan Grotz venture forth from their fungus-infested caves to do battle in the Nightvault. Being so small and weedy, they compensate by being many. There are nine of them, one more than the eight starter positions on the game board. So yeah, I went with the fungal theme… Old Zarbag […]

Warhammer Underwear: The Eyes of the Nine

Tzeentch, the changer of ways also has a special place in my heart, (next to Nurgle, Khorne and Slaanesh…) and this group reminds me that I still have some unpainted minis from Warhammer Quest Silver Tower to do. I seem to have jumped the queue abit with this one, a second season Nightvault […]

The Zen of Moria Goblin Spearmen

Sometimes all I want to do is to Zen out when painting. For this I have found that batch-painting a large unit of whatever is a good way to reach the flow state where the mind is disengaged. This time I did a 20-strong unit of Moria Goblins for my planned Kings of War goblin […]

Kill Team Rogue Trader: The Gellerpox Infected

The Blanche is strong with this one. As a fan of Warhammer 40k since it was called Rogue Trader, I have found the new direction of the post-Kirby era GW to be uplifting and with the release of many interesting minis I have begun spending money on them again. Kill Team: Rogue Trader is one […]
