Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Aristeia! and Hellboy: Gata and Rasputin

 So to take a break from the same ol same ol, I painted up another Aristeia! futuristic gladiator named Gata for a friend (this will make number 3 of 8 I promised), and Rasputin for my Hellboy game which leaves me a bunch of frog monsters yet to paint.

First up is Gata and then Rasputin.






As always thanks for looking!

Arena Rex: Ludus Magnus: The gladiator Septimus

 Alrighty M.K. (you know who you are), you've thrown down the gauntlet of super coolness with Arena Rex. You've got the group all jazzed up about having a few games, I'm obviously painting, are you? In fact R.G. and M.M. you better get off your butts and start painting your Ludus as well. I now have five finished and May isn't that far away boys. Let's do this!

Today I finished another gladiator for my Ludus Magnus. Septimus is his name and I think this is the best job I've done yet on painting flesh. Thank goodness though he is wearing a helmet. I just hate painting faces.

Here are a few pictures to get you guys motivated to paint, and for the rest of my groupies to have a gander at.


 





As always thanks for looking and have a great week!

Battletech: More Genyosha added to the ranks

 Completed four more mechs, having a blast painting these. These are from House Kurita (Draconis Combine) and the unit is the famous Genyosha.

Rangers of Shadow Deep: Pushing forward with the Gnolls

 As you saw from my previous silly post, I am painting up some most excellently detailed Gnolls I picked up from an Etsy printer. I have completed six of twelve that I have, but think I am only going to paint up ten. I doubt I'll need anymore on the table than that, though I need at least four of those to be archers. Hopefully this week I can knock out another four so we can move on to the next mission with our Shadow campaign.













As always thanks for looking.

Cheers

Because I can… Rangers of Shadow Deep Gnolls

 A short video of what I am going to paint next for Rangers Of Shadow Deep. Thought I would make up a little fun vid with sound. These are are group of six Gnolls of twelve I need to get done. To see miniatures better enlarge video.

52 seconds of pure high octane silliness!
