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 […]

Is it Confrontation? A Grim Reaper-style skeleton

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 […]

3D-print: Death Tyrant

Warming up the 3D printer again, I have revisited a few of the beasts from one of the Axolote Gaming kickstarters. Here is a Death Tyrant, which is an undead Beholder. It should have a smattering of floating, ghostly eyes surrounding it. Not sure how I want to do that though. Maybe bend some pins […]

Big Bones: Colossal Skeleton

In 2018 I did very few large miniatures, being preoccupied with the Bobbybox and the LAF league most of the winter and spring and having my arms out of commission the whole summer. For 2019 I think I want to dedicate to variation. I am far too flighty to stand doing “everything in this army” […]

What turned out to be a D&D 3.5 Skeleton Minotaur

Thanks to Xiwo Xerase at the Reapermini forum for identifying this mini: a Dungeons & Dragons 3.5-branded Skeleton Minotaur with code WOC 88287, made by Wizards of the Coast and sculpted by Jim Warner, released some time in the period 2000-2008. — Does anybody recognize this mini? I got this mini from a forum trade or lot […]

Warhammer Underwear: Sepulchral Guard

And so we come to the ancient and restless dead in the Warhammer Underworlds. The Sepulchral Guard. Which also is a great name for a thrash metal band. I painted these in November, but have not had the time to take pictures before now. Sorry about the slightly blurry pictures, a leg […]

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 […]
