"We sons of Grungni may have drunk deep from the bitter waters of misfortune, but we yet survive. Whilst a single Dwarf draws breath, we will fight the evils that assail us, and we will never, ever give up."
“Through all this horror my cat stalked unperturbed. Once I saw him monstrously perched atop a mountain of bones, and wondered at the secrets that might lie behind his yellow eyes.” ― H.P. Lovecraft, The Rats in the Walls
So G'Wullu managed to wrangle me of some of my money. After the snotlings the gnomes really came and stole my heart. And then Pratchett hit me in the head. Kind of.
I'd never played Mordheim. I surprised myself by playing Mordheim with people I'd never met at a gaming club. Mordheim caught my imagination when I got back into the hobby and when I look at fantasy, scratch that: ANY miniatures […]
Had the Dominion box set laying around for way too long. I also went a bit mental on buying extra Krule Boyz from eBay because I just loved the miniatures. Bout time I finally got them painted up.
A couple of months ago I was introduced to an intriguing little game called Zoontalis. In a nutshell it's anthropomorphic animals meets dungeons and dragons, meets gladiator. I played it once and was hooked. The game is created by Dice […]
The painting of my first gang for Carnevale.
Pulling a friend into Burrows and Badgers no matter how much she kicks and screams.
The concept is for a pike and shotte fantasy army, using all of the fantasy races. Intention is to use them in Dragon Rampant or a home ruled version of Oathmark. Or Kings of War.
I recently printed a few slums buildings and I immediately thought of the shades. I generally make enough terrain to fill a 6x4 , but how would it go if properly focused on a 2x2 or 3x3 fantasy city street […]
I have finally decided to make a project with some of the numerous miniatures that need painting. So thought I would start with Moonstone. I am at best an average painter. But thought that this may encourage me to try […]
For some time now I've been slowly, but surely, gathering the Dwarfs of the Bronze Kingdom to play in occasional games of Legends of Signum. This is an attempt to paint the entire faction and to get the occasional game […]
Setting out to build a City States army for local games at the shore! The project started with a 5th anniversary box, Nords/CS starter half, and SK/CS starter half. Most likely there will be chariots added sooner rather than later...
Retiring my (very) old wood terrain for something new.
After many years of sitting on the shelf I have decided to give my Relics Britanans the attention they deserve.
My first steps into the world of Conquest
Hello gonna try and stick to one project. Last year some time or maybe longer I had an idea to paint my moonstone using only red,blue,yellow,black and white to mix my own paints. The fun bit is I struggle with […]
It’s getting late for Spring Clean, but better late than a pile of grey plastic models! Had these direwolves sitting on my shelf. Time for some painting!
Like so many others, I have a huge pile of opportunity. I preordered the Slaine: Kiss My Axe starter set a few years ago based on my experience with Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog games released by Warlord Games. I […]
Once upon a time in the desert far far away the King White once ruled over his people. The city of White once ruled this land, but no more. But time has passed and the sands have moved revealing his […]
I have decided to be a glutton for punishment and paint up a ravenous horde of Halflings for Kings of War.
At Salute a couple of my friends picked up a bunch of Armada goodies. I managed to exert a modicum of self control and didn't jump into the fray. My impulse control lasted until Wednesday when I saw a Basilean […]
I'm not sure what is wrong with me but I love powering through a big project. I also like detailed individual models, but I like to swap between projects where the focuses vary between detail and volume of output. I've […]
Digging up 2 old projects to have some Shrine fisticuffs for the spring clean.
A Blood Bowl 7s league has started at the local store. Most of my men are assembled, and my starting squad is based, but I need to get them all painted as I get my games in.
Lily (smallest 'Lockling, aged 5.5) asked to paint some models.. then asked if she could have 'an whole ARMY of skellingtons' .. why yes of course you may, but YOU'RE painting them! And so (with a little guidance from Daddy) […]
I backed the first kickstarter of Mythic Battles: Pantheon which was delivered in late 2017, or early 2018... not sure when exactly, as it was some time ago. The Core Box I painted, but I put Pandora's Box (the stretch […]
This will be a log of games,projects and assorted hobby stuff I get done in 2024
Revisiting building a Chaos army for Warmaster, an idea that never really got going 20-odd years ago. A second chance for second hand miniatures.
To build and paint a Maggotkin of Nurgle army for Age of Sigmar to take part in an escalation league being run by my FLGS. I want to personalise my army, drawing inspiration from Oldhammer art & hints at a […]
In this project, I'll be picking, up dusting off, and getting on with a Kharadron Overlords force I started way back in 2017. Expect lots of bright colours, some fun conversions and some attempts at narrative theming.
Getting back to my Wealdgeist miniatures from Conquest Games for the 2024 Spring Clean Challenge after over 8 months of the project sitting dormant.
MY Journey in using the XTool Laser cutter to create the ultimate Heroquest Board
The 91st Company of Tears is part of the Slug's Lament cult for Turnip28. Made of a box of Les Grognards infantry from Wargames Atlantic, as well as their Heavy Weapons and Command box, it is led by the Toff […]
Christmas came and went and the Bar Room Brawl is just "unboxed" and primed. Bunnyfest to the rescue!
This started as a spring clean challenge 2024 to finish some long standing pile of shame miniatures and it’s still going I didn’t get as many done as I’d have liked so thought I’d continue to log the project. My […]
When Mantic launched Kings of War back in the mists of time, I was immediately attracted to their version of the Elves. I thought the concept was etherial and captured for me the mystery of the race; esthetic, other-worldly, different, […]
I am returning to an old set of miniatures from my collection and the first edition of Warhammer Age Of Sigmar. I've always wanted a Slayer army for Warhammer and the Fyreslayers seem like a great place to start that […]
Digging through my dusty backlog to see if I can get back into Warhammer with a Beastmen army for The Old World and compete in a local tournament in April 2024.
One of my favorite games has been the old version of Warhammer Quest back from 1995. I still have my base set but I want to expand it to include the optional expanded bits from the Roleplay book it includes. […]
Hello everyone! Since it's Dungeonalia on OnTableTop, I thought it would be a fantastic idea to delve into creating some tabletop dungeon tiles. These tiles would be perfect for enhancing games like HeroQuest and Warhammer Quest — essentially, any of […]
As part of the Dungeonalia event I wanted to give Frostgrave some more love and I really need to focus on my terrain collection so in this project I tackle creating terrain for a specific scenario from the Into the […]
