It was actually some pig folk that caught my eye from the The Three Pigs & Other Denizens of Dünnmere by Monkstone Miniatures, but when i looked through the minis available, I fell in love with this Ogre Witch. She\s been super fun to paint. Unfortunately, I had to repaint her skirt three times as […]
While I feel I have a good technique for painting dragons, I struggled with giants. in fact, I have a complete set of giants my wife has bought me that I am scared to make a start on… or at least I was because I have started now with this female Stone Giant. I had […]
I am a big fan of the old Rogue Trader Orks. They have so much personality. But back when i played Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, I didn’t have access to the fantastic Ogres and Ogryns from Citadel. So it has been a pleasure suddenly being able to paint not just this amazing Ogre by Jes […]
I saw this Troll mini by chance and I ordered it on the spot. What a fantastic powerful badass of a troll. However, I left it too late to paint him so ended up using contrast paint and a lot of drybrush and honestly, I am quite happy with the result.
So… it is rare I buy a miniature without purpose, but this ogre chieftain from Reaper Bones is just so badass I had to get him. He is literally a walking tank! I think him and this Orc Warlord would be a good tag team to make our party respect the greenskins again.
When I started up Dungeons & Dragons last year, I started with a team of people either completely new to RPGs or had some limited experience back in school. That, combined with the fact that I have to relearn a game I hadn’t played for over 20 years, meant I focussed on creatures both they […]
When I was planning my D&D Christmas oneshot for 2018, I was roaming the internet to find Christmas themed miniatures and found this crazy Ogre Santa from Scibor Miniatures. It arrived two days before the game, but with Dragonmeet 2018 in between, I had little time to paint it, so I ended up speed painting […]
Contrary to Grogspar, the Mercenary Troll and the Hill Troll from Reaper, both which I am using as Ogres, the Forest Troll Shaman from North Star is exactly my idea of what a Troll should look like, which is driven from my childhood in the Nordics where trolls just look a certain way. The movie […]
As with the super cool Troll Mercenary Boson Grogspar, I will be using this badass Hill Troll from Reaper as an Ogre or half Ogre as Trolls in Heden Rei, the world we play D&D in, are more feral and more like nordic trolls. I got this troll from my fiancée in a box full […]
While I don’t play Privateer Press games anymore, I still love their minis and some of them have that quirky personality and character I loved about Warhammer 40.000 Rogue Trader Orks and this fantastic Trollkin sailor is a great example of this. Pipe and dynamite strapped to his harpoon… what more do you need? However, […]
