Another year of painting is coming to the end, which means another yearbook and a look back at what I’ve painted this year. While I still focus on painting what I need for our Dungeons & Dragons games, this year has been a year of retro Warhammer miniatures. I’ve increased the size of my Bad […]
Setting the scene It is closing in on Christmas in the City of Equilibrium. Having saved the party goers of the city, our heroes Double Trouble had been deputised as Investigators of the Balance. While they technically reported into the Grand Examiner Felix Marlowe, the role did not carry any official duties other than they […]
As i build up my LEGO Winter Village for 2024, I found this old, still sealed, Christmas polybag from 1995 with what is probably one of the first minifig santas. He uses a pirate bandana as a hat and wizards beard as santa beard! Fun little build.
The City of Equilibrium Click for larger image The City of Equilibrium is a large trading city located near the Crimson Stream, a river capable of carrying many ships to and from the city. Equilibrium is the home of the University of Necromantic Studies and the Temple of Vigilance and is ruled by the neutral and just Baron of Balance (simply know as “The Balance“). […]
This is the second mini I have painted up from the Gambler’s Chest expansion. Seems fitting as it is December at the time of writing this. I really had fun painting this evil santa, so many details and I had some challenges along the way one being painting Games Workshop White on top of Army […]
My wife bought me this badass troll for Christmas a while back and i finally got around to paint him. It was a speed paint job: Spray grey, drybrush with bone and ink Agrax Earthshade. Paint all crystals white. Several layers. Cover crystals in purple shade holding the mini upside down to help the darker […]
As I finish what is possibly the last dragon miniature for 2024, I realise it is also the first Metallic Dragon I have ever painted and I decided to capture what it is up against in terms of the adversarial chromatic dragon. Note I don’t have a Black Dragon in the collection. It is probably […]
I’ve already painted these menacing warriors once, but I need them for our current D&D campaign and need them with a darker, more ancient undead look as I want to use the Knight of the Bell miniature as a Death Knight guardian.
All my dragon miniatures for Dungeons & Dragons are chromatic dragons and this is no surprise as I only really use miniatures during combat encounters. metallic dragons are good natured so it is highly unlikely the party would ever pick a fight with one and having it as a helpful NPC would be too much. […]
Finally got around to paint the last unit for my 1,000 point Khorne 2nd edition army. And incidentally also the first unit I bought for this army! I’ve used the same new technique of priming the metal and adding Schminke ink as I did with the Khorne Berserkers and I think the result was really […]
This project came about of a desire to create scale and range for games run online. As we play online, most of our combat encounters end up being very close range to make sure everything is visible on screen. But I wanted to add some range, so instead of using the classic 5 foot squares, […]
I have a list of unfinished minis I want to complete. So what do I do? start a new project! I’ve had a Grom the Paunch chariot laying around for a while. I love the mini but he doesn’t fint my Night Goblin army I’ve also had a Wh40k Shokk Attack Gun Ork in the […]
