Back in the late 80s when I started roleplaying games, there wasn’t many stores selling books let alone miniatures. So I was super thrilled when I found this dragon mini in a bookstore. It was essentially the first monster beyond orcs we had to play with. The original one I bought, I destroyed once I […]
I’ve been wanting to paint this fantastic dragon from Mierce Miniatures, but first of all, I really don’t need more dragons especially not an Ancient Dragon, which I think this fits… and second of all it is a bit pricey, but I found it on half price during Black Friday sale, so I couldn’t resist. […]
This was a fun game. Essentially last time we played, these two players had to back out last minute. While we can’t always get everybody together, it is unusual for people to cancel last minute and two did for same game, both with very good reasons. So last minute, I whipped up a spin […]
This article was actually originally about how to create a D&D encounter from a different angle, and it still is, but it also became a life saver i our latest campaign game as 2 out of 5 players had to cancel the very last minute. The thing is, we are in the endgame of our […]

I picked this Ghost up ages ago, but kept putting off painting it, which is stupid as painting it was literally: Spray black, drybrush and add a bit of details. done!
The D&D party we set out over 18 months have stayed very much the same. The characters have gathered a small band of supporting animals, but overall stayed the same. However, recent events have changed that. First our Drow Rogue was killed and now our Dragonborn Sorcerer is evolving after having picked up a lost […]
It is always nice to get little freebies from Darksword Miniatures. I have used these Angel Babies in our Dungeons & Dragons campaign. But I have to say these tiny feyfolk are absolutely amazing! The details on these little people are just great. Size comparison
I do think Skinks from Games Workshop Lizardmen range has potential as Kobolds so I got a few with a Razordon to add some punch to my existing Kobolds.
I wanted some skeletons to look more elite, more organised and more dangerous and I found this Egyptian skeleton regiment at Mantic Games. It comes with 20 skeletons, but the set comes with so many bits, so I only made 10 of them as I am not sure whether to make the last 10 more […]
