that's it, that's all there is here
There is a mountain of plastic in the Warcry starter box, and so much of it is awesome terrain that you can use for anything dark fantasy related. I made it a goal of mine to get the whole box set painted before the end of the year, so getting the terrain done felt like … Continue reading Painting Warcry Terrain
I've needed to get paint on these guys for ages, but I kept holding off because I haven't finished converting the rest of the warband. They're theoretically intended for playing Mordheim, but given the pandemic and how rarely I play anything anyway I finally accepted that it was past time to slap some paint on … Continue reading Some of the Raven’s Men
I'm learning that when the motivation hits, I've gotta run with it! Last week I was struck by the desire to paint Necrons for the first time ever, so I pulled out the Necron half of my Indomitus box (plus an extra Overlord I had around) and set to work. The main goal here was … Continue reading Painting Indomitus Necrons
I discovered the Witcher boardgame through my friends Charlie and Jill, and while we have never finished a full game it has been so much fun that I really wanted to get the minis for it painted. Unfortunately, I don't think the creators of the game ever intended these to be painted because the quality … Continue reading Witcher Boardgame Minis
This mini "Anna" from Bold Miniatures was an impulse buy a while back because I have a big soft spot for rangers of all sorts. She's quite large and covered with characterful details that help you tell her story, really a beautifully sculpted mini. I especially love that she looks like a fantasy mini at … Continue reading Anna
With my move back to Colorado behind me, I broke in the new painting desk with another commission! Rob saw my Tron Harlequins and asked me to paint these two in that style, to join his army of Synthwave Sisters of Battle. Since I've already written about how I painted the Harlequins I'll be brief … Continue reading Daemonifuge Commission
My friend and local GW manager wanted a model painted by me for his collection before I move away, so this is the last commission I'm doing while still living here in Germany! He's given me complete artistic freedom with this one, except the base which he will be painting to match his Slaves to … Continue reading Commission: Mindstealer Sphiranx
There are a ton of ways to approach painting space marines beyond the standard Games Workshop method, this is one which I find a lot more freeing and enjoyable. It's not the only, or even the primary way that I paint up my space marines, but I recently painted two Intercessors as gifts using this … Continue reading Painting Intercessors: Wet-in-Wet
Harlequins are one of those model kits that I think every mini painting enthusiast thinks about painting at some point. They're so dynamic, and just detailed enough to be interesting while still leaving plenty up for interpretation, stellar design work on by GW. I've had the itch for a long time, but I never got … Continue reading Painting Tron-Inspired Harlequins
When I saw Sergio Calvo's Hirelings of Asura kickstarter I knew I had to back it, even if only for the video tutorials. However, the miniatures themselves were incredible too, with one of them bearing a striking resemblance to a character I've played for years in D&D. That was Tsukigoro, but the sculpt was so … Continue reading Tsukigoro / Momak
