Back in March 2013 I made a post about the Mantic Revenant Knights, (well, it was actually more about the restic material they are made of than about the minis -the knights were some of the first restic minis I had seen and I had just struggled with building them). …and now, in April 2017, […]
Read More KoW Undead Mounted Revenant Knights, part 2A kickstarter exclusive from the Kings of War 2 KS. I painted this mini for the Reaper forums bimonthly resolutionary painting challenge first bonus challenge, which is simply to paint a mini in a jumping/springing pose. This is a rendition of Ronnie Renton the owner/ leader/ director of Mantic Games as Ronaldo the Bard. […]
Read More Ronnie the BardOne of the more interesting items from the Mars Attacks! kickstarter is the burning cattle token that got upgraded to a mini. “Burning cattle” as in a herd of stampeding cows on fire. Yes, on fire as if they were hit with a heat ray, setting the subcuteous fat alight. Oh those Martians are utterly evil. […]
Read More Flaming Cows!These are made in translucent blue plastic. (unlike their MVP. FFS!) Only Jacks and Guards. It would seem that they are wearing bikinis. Go underwear league! I enhanced the blue with Vallejo blue ink, and then a light drybrush with light blue. Dark redbrown details with a pale orange over, and Army Painter Red Quickshade […]
Read More …and the DreadBall Crystallan TeamThe Season six Crystallans are made in translucent blue plastic. But not the MVP. (as with the Ada-Lorana MVP. Again, WTF Mantic!?! I am sure there is some practical production reason, But FFS! How much more could it possibly have cost to make these moulds together with the teams, or even just shoot these minis […]
Read More DreadBall MVP Crypt. AKA Ben GrimmI had this idea to jumpstart my Abyssal Kings of War army with the Dungeon Saga minis. So I ordered extra of the Abyssals set, netting me 5 of each instead of 3 of each. But in KoW, what use is 5 of infantry? On too large bases? Damn it all to Hell! ;P […]
Read More Dungeon Saga Tortured SoulsTime to speed up the PJs and get something done before the month’s end: These are originally translucent blue. I wanted them to be greenish instead, which was easily accomplised with some vallejo green ink. Dot in some details and Hey, presto! Bases as per my standard recognize-your-DreadBall-team-positions colour scheme, red for guard, yellow […]
Read More DreadBall: The Ada-Lorana Team and Phantasm MVPFrom the first Mantic Kings of War kickstarter, they made some Heroically proportioned Mummies. Which was a bit strange, as most other minis were closer to tru-scale 28mm and hence much thinner and with smaller weapons etc. Mantic has never been very consistent with neither scales nor styles. Also, they were much more armed and […]

Read More Mars Attacks! Zombie MartianThis model has been sitting around unpainted on my desk for ages and ages, getting in the way and generally making a nuisance of itself. Time to wash it out of my hair, as it were. The internet seems full of slams of this mini, both the aesthetics and the quality of the casting. […]
