Hi all ! Just getting on this years spring clean challenge. I will be clearing my backlog of varnishing,some tips on cheap washes do and don’t with rattle cans.
Over the last couple of years, I've amassed a rather large pile of unpainted miniatures from a multitude of ranges (from miniature games to board games). Knowing that I won't get them all done, I'm focusing on three fantastic lines […]
I opened the doors to my closet... there in sleeps the pile of opportunity... let's see what fell out. [Picture of closet is not my closet. Mine is too scary]
So I did a project last year https://www.ontabletop.com/project/1630553/#snav to try and be more productive with all things hobby related. I think it worked. Obviously, playing actual games took a bit of a hit from the pandemic, but the painting side […]
Welcome to the next season of the "most vaguely inconsistent extravaganza that no one really thinks about but if they did they'd be mildly misanthropic about it"! Following along from my last project, here you will find an array of […]
Huzzah its Spring! Time to dig old a bunch of old bits and pieces and make them all sexy. I cant decide which one i want to work on so im going to butterfly between some WWX Watchers, my old […]
Last year the Spring Clean Challenge pushed me to DO something with my mountain of lead. But I still have a large “hill” left to do something with. So, I was wondering, as I have numerous “Skirmish” style rules and […]
I recently bought a teeny tiny 3d printer. Now I have it (pretty much) dialled in, and, more importantly, I have some idea as to what I'm doing, I'm printing when I can. These trees were from the Kickstarter by […]
This project page is an experiment to record the myriad of minis I paint in a mediocre fashion.
Well this was an inevitably. Tons of commission work and personal MCP stuff.
Well, basically this is our #roadto40k, come join us on our way, read the first entry to get the whole story
A follow up to a personnal objective to play one game of miniature every single month.
I have been building and painting miniatures since I was a kid marveling at the neighbor's HO scale railroad layout. By college it had shifted to military and fantasy minis as I studied Illustration and Photography. Now, many decades later, […]
So many moons ago @avernos and I had a chat about "wouldn't it be nice to have some real live reference photos of how the world looks like from the point of view of every CoG?". This is my story.
Finally getting round to painting the Lead/Plastic pile of shame! Mostly old school minis from days gone by, some much more recent than others
Fresh blood! Must bring in the newbies, mates who have never gamed, old gamers, little proto gamers, wives who don’t know the way of the game yet and most of all we need new cannon fodder! Bring in the Newbies! […]
This is my first time trying out writing battle reports. Any constructive criticism is welcome.
Last year I ran a project to paint all the models I owned at the start of the year and I enjoyed the challenge of doing it. This year I aim to not only clear the backlog but also end […]
Adding 3D printing to my hobby toolkit.
Trying to make a multi-use burnt down warehouse. The mdf base is made from the stepped sides of a paint pot stand I didn't like (too big of a footprint for what it could hold). The walls are made from […]
Picking up the pieces: the last few years have been a difficult one for me health-wise, culminating in three surgeries on or around my spine over June & July 2019. Hobby post-surgery was not easy - due to how I […]
My attempt at kitbashember 2020. Genre is a bit mixed.
I made this project in response to an xlbs about gaming tables "Does less terrain mean more game". An overview of some gaming tables I set-up for some games I played.
This is my spot for all of the little hobby bits that aren't related to a specific game–or that are too minor to be worth turning into a full project.
Last week, the Beastie Boys introduced us to the new Heroforge 2.0 website. Make your own heroes! they said. So I did
I made a hot wire cutter. But while thrilled with the ability to cut foam, I was less than impressed with the finish on the cut pieces.
Hot wire cutters are brilliant for slicing up styrofoam for making terrain. But they're so darned expensive. At least, those tabletop ones are. And they're little more than a bit of a wire and a low voltage (DC) current. So […]
You might remember my paintathon project from 2019. If not, follow this link: https://www.ontabletop.com/project/1442359/ This year I'll be painting my Blood Bowl Snotling Team with Troll. After that, the 40k Indomitus box gets a kick.
A project for all the miniatures that have no home.
Everyone need scenery, right? Boards look bloody empty if we don't bother with it... But what about accuracy? What would things look like in the real world? We can't look out of our windows and see all possible scenery there […]
It's August 2020 and the end is in sight. Out of the 2200ish models I own I only currently have 63 left to paint, so why not share the final push with everyone and watch me accidentally buy and print […]
This here will be a selection of YouTube channels that are discussing the topics surrounding all things miniature wargaming. Please add Channels in the comments, I will add them to the project later.
This will be a grab bag of terrain projects, mainly for fantasy skirmish games like Frostgrave. I'll have a mixture of scratch-built, kits and 3d-prints here.
Reorganize my hobby space with hobyzone
In a turnabout from the norm of me sending out packages I received a delivery from Blinky465. In it there was a small band of Amazons he had printed.
For the longest time, all I've wanted to do is create a game, with the growing interest in the board and tabletop games I figured this would be a good time to finally start getting ideas together and put together […]
Come one, come all! See the most vaguely inconsistent extravaganza that no one really thinks about but if they did they'd be mildly misanthropic about it! Slow off the heels of my last adventure comes a tale so confusing that […]
Bit of a micro project but I just discovered what the kids would call a ‘life hack’ and wanted to share. (I couldn’t get this to load as a single entry so please hit ‘view oldest first’ before continuing).
Painting up some extra units for Konflikt'47 US Army.
I have always wanted to build a gaming board but never got round to it, either through lack of funds or confidence. Anyway I’ve decided what am I waiting for let’s just see what I can come up with
I want better lighting on my project desk, so I have opted to build an LED arch light for maximum light and maximum shadow reduction.
