Tabletop Gaming News has just announced that they are looking for jury members for their yearly awards. They want experienced miniatures enthusiasts who have the time to plod through product releases since December and nominate some of them to be voted on for the Reader’s Choice and Editor’s Choice awards. They’re hoping to add four ...

Avatars of War has released images of a new mini in progress on their forum. They’re currently looking for feedback on this mini: They’re looking to see if anyone has ideas regarding the armor this mini should be wearing, how much fur he ought to have, any possible weapon options he should have and where ...

I recently finished another commission for a classic Praetorian Imperial Guard force. Yeah, and these are still some of my favorite Games Workshop minis. There is just so much to do with their faces. There’s a lot of expression and character in these guys, they really feel like the noble underdogs of the universe that ...

People who have been keeping up with Warmachine will know about their newest of extreme sculpts: the extreme Juggernaut. I honestly could not resist. This massive jack comes in a rubble pile that makes the Deathjack look simple to put together, and he can be put into almost any pose imaginable (even the fingers are ...

So, Studio McVey started producing resin miniatures recently. And my, oh my, they are leading in with some fine pieces. Studio McVey is run by Mike and Ali McVey. You might know Mike McVey from his work with Games Workshop- he was leading up the ‘Eavy Metal team in the 80s and 90s, and had ...

Also at PAX, there was a lot of hubub around the Arcane Legions booth. This game is some kind of semi-collectible, semi-prepainted miniatures game. Semi-collectible because, from what I hear, it just isn’t that hard to find anything in particular. You can buy a random box of minis for your faction rather than having to ...

Well, there was quite a bit of Warmachine stuff going on at PAX. The biggest part of that, of course, was the new Retribution force. Privateer Press actually sold out of the new plastic myrmidon jacks, or else I’d be overlooking them right now. But there’s a whole lot of Retribution stuff out there. The ...

At PAX, I got to visit the Privateer Press booth. I spoke with some of the developers, one of them told me that they have all of the Monsteropocalypse sets built up through set nine, (although sets seven through nine are still subject to some change). No one let slip too much about things that ...

I recently finished a commission for the minion warlock duo Rorsh and Brine. This pair of pigs has gotten very muddy in their fights: For the weathering effects on these two, I added quite a bit of mud splatter, and made the base a little glossy by simply adding some ‘ard coat. The mud on ...
