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 […]

Bones 3: Let Dead Dogs Lie

That all these minis are Reaper Bones might just be a lie. Sorry about the bad pun there. The Vampiress Lady Illona by Mantic, a character from the cover art of the first edition rule book for Kings of War. I got this with the undead army I bought in the first KoW […]

KoW Undead Mounted Revenant Knights, part 2

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, […]

And the skeleton archers

Finishing up that lot of skeletons, here are the archers: Ended up being a bit heavy with the drybrushing on the bows, but can’t be bothered to fix them. 12 Skeletons with bows Warhammer Fantasy Battles, undead faction Games Workshop, 1980s and 90s HIPS plastic 30mm bases Painted so far this month: […]

I see a Horde of Skeletons Sauntering Slowly

I recently bought a lot of 50+ older style plastic Citadel Skeletons off Ebay for less than the price of a single squad of 10 new ones, and have spent a few evenings plonking away at them. When I received the horde in the mail, many of the minis were reduced to parts, with many […]

Mantic Mummy

From 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 […]

Conan the boardgame: Bones Golem

First of the Conan minis to get some paint is the Bones Golem, mostly on account of needing to get some minis done quickly this month. This is one mini that would have benefitted alot from a multi part casting. I find that some of the one piece castings tend to get […]
