By chance I found out about the Rising Sun board game and really like the oriental themed miniatures. I bought the game knowing I might never play it, but the minis I will find a way tyo use in D&D. The first one I’ve finished is this impressive Oni of War. Fun to paint and […]
I actually bought this fantastic Forest Troll back in 2018 together with this Troll Shaman. I really love both these miniatures. They feel so much like fantasy versions of the classic Scandinavian folklore trolls. I did start painting the miniature last year to fit our Troll Hunt campaign, but other miniatures got in the way. […]
2022 is ending and it looks like this Giant from Marauder Miniatures (from 1990) will be my last miniature of the year. And what a miniature! I used to sell my warhammer armies once I had painted them and frankly I never regretted selling any of them… but I did regret selling my original Marauder […]
For our current troll-focused D&D campaign, I needed a Troll leader that would really stand out and I think Janissa Stonetide from Privateer’s Trollblood line is awesome. To make her stand out even more, I decided to give her a very bright green skin, whereas my other trolls tend to fall into darker themes. This […]
These were quick and fun to make. If you have spare miniatures you do not know what to do with, you can quick paint them into stone statues (aka medusa victims). But another quick way to get use out of such minis, is to make them into ghosts. Simply spray them white and give them […]
As our current campaign is focussed around a growing pack of unusually well organised trolls, it has given me a chance to paint awesome Trollkin minis from Privateer Press. This group here reflects a gang of Trolls who have managed to armour themselves.
One of the things I like about Privateer Press’ miniatures is how much the Trollkin miniatures reminds me of the Growlers from the long dead Vor The Maelstrom game. But at the same time they have their own identity and character. For our current Dungeons & Dragons campaign called “The Troll Hunt” I need trolls, […]
This Cyclops was a Christmas present from my wife alongside this Ettin from the same company. But I only just got a chance to finish it in time for a game with my niece and nephew. I think the Ettin was more fun to paint and the result was better, but I am still happy […]
All my giant miniatures have been gifts from my lovely wife. I last Christmas she got me two more: An Ettin and a Cyclops from Meeplevault. The Cyclops need to be assembled but the Ettin came as a single piece and what a piece indeed! First of all, the print quality is amazing. Second, the […]
My wife got me this mini several years ago, but between then and me painting him, she also got me the Frost Giant from Nolzur’s so that one kinda became our D&D Frost Giant. But recently I needed both a Frost Giant and a Frost Giant Ghost so I last miniute speedpainted Frorigh and I […]
What an incredible miniature! I got this as a Christmas present from my wife back in 2019, but it has taken me up until now to get to it. I have never painted such a big miniature, so I used some methods normally associated painting grimdark especially for the armour and I am really happy […]
This Frost Giant was the second giant following the Storm Giant. While not as epic and mighty as the Storm Giant, this Frost Giant certainly still oozes of power of brute strength. For that reason, I decided to paint him much more grounded than the Stone Giant, by making his weapons worn and littered with […]
