A fur effect essentially means adding texture to a flat surface. There are plenty of minis of animals that use non-textured surfaces to depict areas where fur or hair would be short (horses, for example). Adding texture to these surfaces can make a mini quite a bit more dynamic. For example: To attain this effect, [...]
Ok, I knew I had to get a copy of Super Dungeon Explore when I saw the Angry Bear mini. One thing about Super Dungeon Explore minis is that they’re not as detailed as many lines. It is actually kind of like having a blank pallet in front of me, and I could do anything [...]
Here’s a Brass Scorpion that I did for a commission a little while ago. I really enjoyed doing all kinds of crazy freehand and filling those panels. Filling them with grotesque images that would please Khorne was really quite a bit of fun, and worked well with the theme that the mini already has going [...]
An important part of making your miniatures look unique is to apply wear and tear. With a lot of minis, this includes things like battle damage scratches and such. With some minis, especially tanks, I find there is a lot of depth that can be added by simply adding a little mud splattering. Here is [...]
For those of you who follow this blog, you’ll know about the geek wedding cake toppers that I make. You’ll also know that most of them heavily feature zombies and couples fighting off the horde. Well, it has been a while since I’ve had some to post up here, so here are quite a few [...]
Tabletop Gaming News will be starting the voting today on their annual Reader’s Choice awards for 2011. This award is rather great.

The TGN nominations usually include [...]
Reaver Lords is a miniatures company that is just getting started. At the time of this writing, I believe they only have a facebook page for an online presence. However, they have previewed their first miniature: the Shadow Prince. And I’ve got to say, if they keep this quality up, they really have a winner:
Well, normally I would post up some of these minis in groups, rather than having a single shot for each one. But Janci couldn’t resist getting a single shot for each and every puppet that I painted. So this is a more pic heavy post than I normally put up here. So, here is a [...]
Privateer Press has been slowly rolling out their plastic kits since they first started them with the Exemplar Cinerators, followed shortly by plastic versions of the basic warjacks for each Warmachine faction (and plastic starter box sets). Many of us were wondering if the plastic trend was going to reach Hordes very soon, but it [...]
Well, I finally finished all of Squad Lorenzo from my own Space Hulk set. I get distracted away from these projects of mine, sometimes it really takes me longer than it should. Frequent readers will remember Sergeant Lorenzo Brother Zael with his heavy flamer and lots of flammable parchment. Brother Deino- one of the more [...]
