Some of the images/projects below may have made an appearance on this blog previously. I can’t be 100% sure. For the sake of “catching up” I am posting them here just in case. It is random, but then some of the best things are.
I had almost forgotten about my blog. So why should you remember about it either? In a vain attempt to update the blog with some content that has been waiting on the side lines for quite sometime now, I present the gathering (woodland, forest) of treefolk that I’ve accumulated over time. They come from various manufacturers and different time periods of my hobby life.
A previous post looks a bit more closely at this resin not-so-miniature guy from Stonehaven Miniatures
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).
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.
Well these amusing little guys were purchased quite a long time ago now. And they were painted a long time ago too but I have only recently realised I never did take photos or blog about them. Maybe because I wasn’t sure what ‘genre’ they really matched nor how I was ever going to use them in a game setting.
Most of you will be familiar with the Worms video game. A classic in it’s day and I believe still going strong. Well MJ Figures took to the idea of producing a range of Worms loosely based on the franchise and appear to have run with the idea producing some cool, some silly, and some very tongue in cheek variants.
They appealed to my sense of humour so I picked up a few packs that contained enough types that I could possibly use in a Sci Fi or Post Apocalyptic setting. They are billed at 20mm but being what they are, could easily play alongside 15mm or 28mm.

I also like barbarians so it wasn’t long before I had bulked my collection of Thain warriors a few years back when RPE started selling single sculpts (making the collecting of ‘unique singles’ far more viable).
If you were to dig around this blog you’d come across several post of previously painted Thain. These had been intended for skirmish type games so there was no real logic applied in respect to unit types although I did stylistically link them using an ochre base with a blue-based tartan in some cases. Despite the fact that I am not gaming so much nowadays, inspired in part by Facebook Dragon Rampant chatter, I decided to group the collection in to 12 strong units that could be used for DR. So the photo above shows this logic and 4 warrior units would be the result (and an archer unit still to be painted).
Here is how they panned out.
