A vile force of darkness has arrived!
In the videogame Dwarf Fortress (a very deceptively simple-looking ASCII game with a strange and storied history), goblin sieges, represented as they are by the lower-case letter ‘g’ are announced by the on-screen message: A vile forces of darkness has arrived! So. Following on… Continue Reading “A vile force of darkness has arrived!”
Blood for the Blood Maw
Skulls for the Skull Mountain! This is the first really big miniature I’ve painted, Mierce Miniatures’ Blood Maw, Vore. I had planned to enter this into the 2017 summer painting competition on r/minipainting. The theme was ‘violence’ – or to be more precise: VIOLENCE! … Continue Reading “Blood for the Blood Maw”
Greenskin Wars
Coming to the end of my Christmas painting projects, here’s small batch of mostly goblinoids from one of my favourite companies, Diego Serrate Pinilla’s Knightmare Miniatures. I got most of them from the first Greenskin Wars Kickstarter – I missed out on the follow-up (of hobgoblins… Continue Reading “Greenskin Wars”
Warrior Women with Stumpy Sidekicks
Setting expectations high for 2018, following on from my Russian Alternative Troll of Chaos and Oldhammer creatures from Greek mythology, I think there’s time for one more blog entry this weekend. I worked on a few different projects over Christmas, including painting miniatures from… Continue Reading “Warrior Women with Stumpy Sidekicks”
Ancient Minis from Greek Mythology
Like London buses, after a six month hiatus I’m posting my second blog entry of this weekend. Today it’s three monsters from Greek mythology – a harpy, Medusa, and the Lernaean Hydra. All of them Citadel Miniatures in the original lead, so I’m not… Continue Reading “Ancient Minis from Greek Mythology”
Troll of Chaos
It’s been a while since I updated this blog. Life, school, and work got in the way, and when I found time to paint again the weather was no good for spraying. But even though I couldn’t varnish them, I managed to paint about… Continue Reading “Troll of Chaos”
The Manticore
In India there is a beast called the manticore. It has a triple row of teeth, the face of a man, and grey eyes; it is blood-red in colour and has a lion’s body, a pointed tail with a sting like a scorpion, and… Continue Reading “The Manticore”
Night Horrors
This week I finished off six Citadel Night Horrors. They join six more that I finished a couple of weeks ago but haven’t previously posted. It’s a short post, but for an unusually productive 12 minis. I hope they’ll speak for themselves.
‘A’ is for Ambull
I’m definitely not going to start a miniature bestiary (if ‘A’ is for ambull then ‘Z’ is for zombie dragon). I’ve got loads of other things to work on already, deadlines at work (‘Z’ is for zoat), and my final university assignment in a… Continue Reading “‘A’ is for Ambull”
Undead update
My shameful lead mountain is looking particularly insurmountable right now. On Thursday I received my minis from the first Greenskin Wars Kickstarter (they’re excellent), and on Friday I bought a load of old Citadel Night Horrors via eBay auction. They’re a pretty collectible range,… Continue Reading “Undead update”
