Here’s a couple that wanted to be fighting off the zombies on the top of their wedding cake. They chose some really interesting weapons- he picked his skateboard, and she took her drumsticks. I love doing these sorts of weaponry since I really get to match something personal (like the design on the bottom of ...

Reaper just finished off their Kickstarter for a lot of crazy new stuff in Bones (got to love the zombie shark). While Bones is fantastic for having a legion of monsters, or the very large ones, their metal heroes definitely have an advantage in direct comparison. Here are a few of the PCs that I’ve ...

Lately, I’ve had a lot of requests for this particular mix of fandoms. I think it makes sense- some fandoms really endure the test of time and will be with us for our whole lives. One thing I’d like to show off is just how different all of them are. The wedding dresses here were ...

There’s no doubt that the Phoenix is the great centerpiece of the core Kingdom Death board game. It is a massive, twisted and brilliantly detailed mini. For my own set, I’ve decided to follow Super Dungeon Explore logic- as the creatures get larger, they also become less chibi. This follows the way that old videogames ...

Here’s a cake topper set that included the bridesmaids and groomsmen as well as the groom and bride. I got to match the whole group- although some of them were less than at their best health. The whole thing created a sort of diorama on top of the cake, with the bride and groom fending ...

This is big news to me. Games Workshop has licensed Ninja Division to create board and card games based on Games Workshop properties. They’re starting out with a card game in which players play as dwarf slayers competing to see who dies with the most glory. Very Old World. But speculation crops up quickly- Ninja ...

Here are two minis that I really love. I love how the Super Dungeon Explore setting has the princesses as the prophesied heroes that will eventually overcome the dark lord. No waiting around to be rescued for them. Princess Emerald is really full of character. I love the steampunk feel she has. I chose a ...

A decent number of the cake toppers I create are sort of homages to various videogames. My wife and I love playing Borderlands and Halo together, and we often play JRPG together as well (with turn based games, we like to talk through out strategies). I’m really happy when I get to make toppers that ...

I painted these just a little while ago to match a client’s RPG party. They are all 3D prints from Heroforge, where you can choose from a wide array of options for characters. 3d printed minis present a bit of a challenge for painters, as the grain is often visible in a few spots. There ...

Geeks come in quite a lot of variety. And we’re very passionate about the things we love. Sometimes we start feeling at odds with each other- we start arguing about whether Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter or Firefly represents the apex of entertainment. I always think it is funny when we argue about things ...
