You know, back when I first started making wedding cake toppers, I really had no idea how many people there were out there who, like me, think that fighting zombies off with your true love sounds like a great idea. Here are a few of the full dioramas of zombie fighters that I’ve created recently: ...

Ok, Alien Dungeon right now is showing us some things they’re putting together for Fanticide (a game developed by several talented former Games Workshop developers including Andy Chambers and Rick Priestly). These developers have said that they made this game into everything they’ve ever wanted in a game. Apparently, they’ve always wanted some really strange ...

Ok, for those of you who have been following this blog for a while, you will have seen a few minis from Puppet Wars show up now and again. So this probably shouldn’t be surprising anyone:

If you’ve been following very much that’s been going on in gaming right now, you’ll know about Kickstarter. At the time of this writing, game projects being crowd funded through Kickstarter include Sedition Wars, Extinction, The Duke, Badass Zombie Killers, Fairies Rule and more. Kickstart has recently funded a number of miniatures projects, including Zombicide, ...

I’m personally quite a fan of Privateer Press’ Extreme line. They take some of the most iconic warbeasts and warjacks and hand them over to Jason Hendricks to create a larger and crazier version. They’ve released them pretty slowly- about one a year for the past six years or so. This year’s addition might be ...

For anyone whose interested, I did an interview with John Gordon of Praetorian 77th. I’ve painted quite a few Praetorians for John over the years, and I’m always a little amazed when he gets photos of them all together. Here is a link to the interview.

Ok, I’ve painted a few puppets now, and I honestly really love painting up anything from Wyrd. It is hard to argue that the best mini in their Puppet Wars range isn’t Teddy. He looks great. And since they released rules for five different colors of teddy, he needs to

For those of you who do not already know, Studio McVey is responsible for arguably the finest miniatures available anywhere. Just take a look at their Limited Edition Resins line, and you’ll see some of the very best work by some of the very best sculptors in the industry (like Kev White, Yannick Hannebo and Jaques ...

I paint a lot of minis, and most of them are troopers for one game or another. That’s not really surprising, because in most games you’ll have a few characters and a lot of grunts. For different factions and different games, the fluff changes as to just how unified a force should look. Everything from ...

Ok, Alien Dungeon isn’t a company that has made much of a splash for itself. You probably haven’t heard of them. And the name Fanticide doesn’t mean much to anyone right now. Honestly, I’m pretty sure it isn’t even a word. But the names Rick Priestly, Andy Chambers, Earnest Baker and Alessio Cavatore are well ...
