Bobbybox pt 17: The Mars Attacks remainders

Woot! The rest of the minis are all done! All of them from Mars Attacks! Blaine, Ron Manning and Judge Dreck-ack-ack! Blaine being the mysterious persona that gets a KS excusive figure in almost every KS Mantic has done, and the Mars Attacks / Judge Dredd crossover mini! (yes, it is a thing!) The helmet […]

Bobbybox pt 16: The Dwarves

Continuing on with the Bobbybox, we come to the Dwarves. Or “Dwarfs” as Mantic call them. I went with a dark blue and a dark purplish red colour scheme for simplicity’s sake. Could just not be bothered to do any more detailing. A bit tired of Mantic minis right now… Again, my own […]

Bobbybox pt 15: Dungeon Saga Orcs and Goblins

It’s Orctober! Cue token painting of some random orc minis…luckily the next in line from the bobbybox are the rest of the Dungeon Saga Orcs and Goblins. The orclings and the mawbeast were done earlier. Here is the rest of the set. The Armoured Troll The three orcs and the three […]

Bobbybox pt 14: Skeletons of the Lost Crusade

Picking up work on the rest of the bobbybox miniatures, untouched since before Easter(!), here are the contents of the Skeleton Troop Sprue all done: 10 skeleton infantry, a skeletal dog (or is it a rat), and the top of a skeleton dragging itself up from the grave I already have (the start […]

Lead Painters League round 6

Sorry about the delay in posting this. It has been more than a month since I posted, real life has been catching up to me and I have simply not had the time to reshoot a bunch of pictures as most of the original pictures I took did not turn out well. Also, I have […]

Bobbybox pt 13: The Vehicles (and another one)

Not too much time dedicated to painting anything this week, but I did manage to get the vehicles from the Bobbybox done. These were all from Warpath, and included an old school Orx Raptor trike and three new-school (is that even an expression?) Veermyn Tunnel Runner monowheel-things. While I was at it, I decided to […]

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 11: The DeadZone Marauders

Powering on with the Bobbybox, we come to the DeadZone Marauders. I got 5 Orx Commandos and 2 Goblin snipers. In the Warpath universe shared by the DeadZone game, the Marauders are green-skinned, brutish-looking aliens that are highly disciplined militaristic mercenaries that function both as shock troops for corporations and also follow their own agenda. A […]

Bobbybox pt 10: The DeadZone Rebs

Easter and a day or two off from work and all that. At last some time to get some serious painting in. We continue the Bobbybox saga with some Deadzone Rebs minis. In the bobbybox there were 4 little bags of Rebs minis, totalling 10 minis in two sets of 5 identical pairs. As […]

SideQuest: Dungeon Saga: Abyssals

This last month I have been intermittently plonking away at the remainder of the Abyssals from the Dungeon Saga Kickstarter. I had this idea when pledging that these minis would be forming the start of a Kings of War army. I ordered two extra sets of the Abyssals so I would have 5 sets of […]

Bobbybox part 9: The Mars Attacks! Martians

I have spent a couple weeks without painting much. Time to continue chipping away at the Bobbybox. Now we come to the The Mars Attacks! Martians. My eyesight is not what it once was, and I found I struggled mightly with the smaller details such as eyes on these. In the end I gave up […]

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 […]
