Kingdom Death Butcher

Dec

2019

Kingdom Death miniatures remain some of the very best in board games- even the older ones from the core box set.This is the Butcher. While he is normally painted in a very dark color pallet, I chose to use some lighter colors on him (especially for his fur). Overall, I think this worked quite well. ...

TARDIS Wedding Cake Toppers

2019

I’ve always loved Doctor Who, and the idea of leaving a wedding reception in the most advanced time travelling ship in the universe is pretty fantastic.And it seems that I’m not the only one who thinks that’s the case. Here are some cake toppers I made for some other couples who feel the same way.

Ork Looted Titan Claw

2019

Orks are terrific, aren’t they? While the aesthetics and logic behind most 40k factions tries to toe the line between Full Blanche and minimally plausible weapons of war, the Space Orks just embrace the most absurd logic (a red paint job actually makes it go faster).This conversion was created by my client- and I really ...

Kissing Gamers Wedding Cake Topper

2019

The way I started making wedding cake toppers was kind of a process. Really, it started out with someone realizing that I could sculpt, and asking me to make a cake topper with a zombie bride and groom in a gas mask. It was very romantic.After I made that one, other people came to me ...

I got the chance to paint up some miniatures for a project to bring the Modest Medusa webcomic into the minaitures world.These were all sculpted by Brian Phelps, and I think every one of them sculpts is super cute. I’m going to get to do some more of them for backers, since the project is ...

I feel that there’s little reason to deny that the primarch miniatures that Forge World has released are some of the best minis ever sculpted for Games Workshop.Unfortunately, I lost the pictures we took of the first primarch I had the opportunity to paint, but I got good pictures of this one.This is Sanguinius, one ...

Wedding Cake Topper Bride in a Silver Dress

Oct

2019

A lot of the fantasy cake toppers that I get are from couples who like to do things a little different.Often, brides don’t like wearing the traditional all white dress. There are a lot of interesting possibilities (I’ve made brides in red dresses, blue dresses and even black dresses). But this is the first time ...

2019

For the past while, I’ve been playing through a campaign of Gloomhaven, and I’ve been constructing all of the minis I would need as we went.And all of them are in Chibi style. To keep this gallery spoiler free, I’ve put the secret characters behind these links. There are still a few that I need ...

Cthulhu and Mermaid Wedding Cake Topper

2019

Mermaids throughout folklore have been presented varyingly as dangerous Sirens or good fairies of the sea.But clearly they’re all the offspring of Dagon’s deep ones. Everyone who has ever visited Innsmouth knows the origins of half fish people.Anyway, here’s a cake topper I made for a couple that wanted Cthulhu and his mermaid bride adorn ...

Kingdom Death Chibi Manhunter

2019

I created this mini a little while ago, but for some reason I missed showing him off.This is my chibi version of the Manhunter nemesis monster for Chibi Kingdom Death. The core mini started its life as a cowboy robot from Rail Raiders Infinite, so he’s come a long way to get here.For the base, ...
