One of the minis that first got me into gaming was the old Lord of Change. This was a good while back- in those days, a Lord of Change was mounted on a square 40mm base, and wasn’t much larger than the ogres of the day and they fit into a blister pack. The new ...

A lot of the cake toppers that I make have a zombie theme to them. Somehow, it just feels natural that the happy couple defend the top of the cake from the undead. Often, the zombies are made to match members of the wedding party- usually in the groomsmen suits and bridesmaid dresses- but in ...

Here is a set of Tzeentch Daemon characters that I painted for a client. I’ve painted quite a few daemons for this force over time- I find I really love the bright blues and pinks of Tzeentch. Flames are very present throughout the Tzeentch force- but with so many magical flames, the colors for them ...

I met my wife in a weekly Dungeons and Dragons game (and her wedding dress had dragons on it). So if I have been making geek cake toppers back then, this is probably the theme we would have gone with. Here are two couples that used this theme in different ways- one of them added ...

My clients sometimes let me choose the color schemes for characters, and at other times, they prefer to tell me what they’d like. In every case there are always choices for me to make. In this case, I really enjoyed this Half Orc barbarian. I think he was meant to be simply human, but his ...

The custom cake toppers I make can really vary quite a lot. While a lot of my clients prefer one of the poses that I’ve done before, some of them like to do something new. Like this one. I’ve done kissing poses before, but this one is different, and I think it came out very ...

The wedding cake toppers are all custom made for a particular couple. Sometimes, after I’ve posted one, another couple might want something similar, and just want a few changes. In this case, the happy couple loved this Master Chief, but wanted to change his bride to match their wedding colors, and add in their cats. ...

Tzeentch has always been my favorite of the Chaos gods. It might have been how the Lord of Change reminded me of a Skeksi. Since then, Tzeentch has gone through many incarnations- with the rise and fall of M’Kachen, and the introduction of Fateweaver and Ahriman. Horrors went from funny little chibis to wild messes ...

I make a lot of cake toppers for some very different people. It is great to see all of the varied ideas people have for them. So I think it goes without saying that I never expected to be making an Alpaca for anyone’s wedding. Yep, that’s an alpaca with goggles joining these two in ...

Just a little while ago, I got to paint up a full force of Stormcast Eternals riding various drakes. I was a little surprised by just how many Stardrakes fit into the force, and there were quite a number of Dracothian Guard as well (I only got a couple of them photographed). Here they are ...
