LPL13 round 2: Raising Livestock

Second round is over, and here is my entry: “Raising Livestock” These minis are primarily from Bears Head Miniatures, the 2017 kickstarter “March of the Dead”. The leftmost one, however, is a repainted and rebased Mage Knight mini. I painted the whole lot in a flurry of sudden panic the day before I was […]

Halfling Ghouls and the Ghoul Lord’s night out

The next batch of little tykes off the 2018 TTCombat Halflings and Fantasy Friends-kickstarter: The Ghoul Lord is an earlier sculpt, which I got with an add on pack called Undead Heroes from the same KS. The halflings are single piece castings. The Ghoul Lord came in two pieces. Classic bat-vampire strigoi-style vampire here. […]

TTCombat: Halfling Spirits

Late last year TTCombat, the wargaming supplies branch of Troll Trader, the large and successful British miniatures shop on Ebay, held a kickstarter campaign called “Halflings and Fantasy Friends”. This campaign featured… well, Halflings for the most part (duh!) and also a buch of monsters. All in a cartoony style, in resin and all at […]

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 […]

Titan Forge Zomblin Command Group

A pair of quirky and fun resin minis I bought as part of a second hand lot. These turned out to be by Titan Forge, undead goblins or Zomlins as they call them, a part of their “Drakskull’s Legion” range. A quick and dirty paint job, the banner is flayed from a giant […]

Deathrattles

Random mini of the week 1: The Bears Head Miniatures “Skeleton Musician 1” playing the maracas! Talk about your literal Deathrattle miniature. Just your basic nekkid skellie, armed with rattleheads. Chica chica chica! Very basic and quick paint job, the whole thing in yellowed bone over a grey undercoat, a wash of Citadel Reikland […]

More Mantic Mummies

In the first Mantic Kings of War kickstarter back in 2012 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 […]

The Ghosts of Midlam Manor: Kasperov

Midlam Miniatures is a small company that has run several kickstarters for specific sets of metal miniatures. This one is from a set called “The Ghosts of Midlam Manor” and was for a set of 10 ghostly minis, back in early 2018. My experience with Midlam is very good, I have backed a few of […]

Big Bones: Grindgear the Corroded, Clockwork Dragon

Wyrmgear the Clockwork Dragon was a part of the very first Bones kickstarter back in 2012. It has been standing around unpainted and semi-assembled on my Dragon shelf (the top one with extra space for all the wings and such) several years. Some time ago, I pulled it off the shelf and started rusting it […]

Heresy Wraith

A metal miniature that I got in a trade some time ago. I do not actually know who made it or what it is called. I think it is a Confrontation miniature on account of the scale, the quality of the sculpt, and because of the horribly thin arm parts that needed to be superglued […]

Simple Bones Skeletons

Three minis that just have been standing around unpainted for some time. This is an extra pair of Skeletons I ordered with the first Bones Kickstarter, that I originally has slated for adding to the base of the Colossal Skeleton back when I was thinking along the lines of making that one into a Kings […]

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 […]
