Still here. Just being negligent. Here is a big mean thing to revitalise things.

It’s been over a year since my last post and even then there had only been a handful in 2023. I do love this blog but my attention has been drawn to other matters in recent times. Will I rectify this? I hope so.

In the mean time here is a large Kraken from the boardgame Conan that I finished off a while ago. He has not made it to the table yet (haven’t been playing very much either) but I think he looks the part if a little risqué (I didn’t sculpt him so not my fault).

Mythic Battles: Ares, Leonidas and the Greek Warriors

What a game, and what miniatures. Mythic Battles: Pantheon from Monolith Games.

I’m a sucker for a good Kickstarter and I got this game some years ago now (Raganarok has just landed also). I have completed the base game miniatures and a good few of the Kickstarter exclusives.

Mini Update: Commission Painting of Weird War 1 troopers and SOME aliens

A good while back I was asked to paint up some new releases for Four A Miniatures. Andrew released these aliens already but held off on those below until now – hence this post. So I thought I’d share my photos of them with you too.

The first batch are a small squad of Weird War 1 inspired Tommies which would go well in many a genre skirmish game.

Next a couple of rather ‘unpleasant’ looking alien lifeforms/horror type creatures that could prove very useful in even more genres.

A New Post, A New Install, A Bunch of New Headaches

Yet another reinstalled version of the blog reflecting a change in web hosting. To say the transition was easy would be a lie. But I appear to have it down now though I am missing some later posts as my backup was a couple of years old.

This is how I feel after the faffing involved in restoring the site on to a new server from an out of date back up.

It may take me a while to reinstate some older posts that were not in the back up. Plus there will be a bunch of more recent stuff to add that has been finished during the 3 year hiatus of this blog.

Still Learning: A Few 28mm Rackham and Red Box Characters for the likes of Frostgrave

I was looking to try some more ‘challenging’ miniatures and pulled this trio off the painting queue to accommodate. Left and right are Cadwallon miniatures from the defunct Rackham Miniatures and in the middle a grumpy looking fighter type from Red Box Miniatures (Hefty Hamish).
