    New models

    Spent some time this last weekend catching up on some modeling, and tackled a bit of assemblies. A couple weeks ago I picked up a discount box of Star Wars Legion Range Troopers, and I had a Bolt Action M3 Grant Medium Tank that had been on pre-order for a couple of months. I recorded…

  • Warband “Sarcophagus”

    Warband “Sarcophagus”

    Working on a new design, inspired by some options I saw online, to store and transport securely warband miniatures. For me, this means my Mordheim warbands, but any skirmish scale game would function. Basically, 10 to 20 models is the intent – beyond that and any storage system becomes rather unwieldy. For me, this means…

  • Fresh Investigators

    Fresh Investigators

    With our kickoff character session today, we have a fresh set of Investigators ready for the upcoming Call of Cthulhu Pulp Cthulhu campaign. My process is simple, each player develops a concept and an AI image of their character. They then select a 3d printed miniature for their character, which I will then paint up,…

  • Dwarf Treasure Hunters for Mordheim

    Dwarf Treasure Hunters for Mordheim

    I posted my final video for the Dwarf Treasure Hunters series today, it should be live tomorrow for everyone, for the small audience that is interested. This was a mini project of 6 models, and an attempt to figure out a process for painting demonstrations. Overall, I am fairly happy with the results. The content…

  • Fixing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max

    Fixing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max

    Sometime last year, I acquired the large-format 3d printer from Anycubic, the Kobra 2 Max. The intent was for large prints, jobs that I couldn’t handle on my aging Prusa MK3s. With a build volume of 420x420mm, this handles about 4x the volume. The hope was further efforts with life-size droids, perhaps some cos-play helmets,…

  • The Treant

    The Treant

    With my recent focus on painting efforts, I had a bit of a break from the dwarven warband, and opted to paint up a large Treant, specifically Ohro the Tree Shepherd from The Beholder Miniatures. I am intending to use this piece for a special Mordheim scenario, king of the hill style battle. You may…

  • Gotrek Doomaxe and Drakki Trollbane

    Gotrek Doomaxe and Drakki Trollbane

    A second set of dwarves for my upcoming Dwarven Treasure Hunters warband, for use in Mordheim. These are Trollslayer Heroes, specifically Gotrek Doomaxe and Drakki Trollbane, a pair of disgraced dwarves eager to meet their death’s in glorious battle. The painting was done exclusively with Army Painter colors, rather than relying on Contrast Paints. This…

  • Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Mordheim) – Grimnar Ironhand

    Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Mordheim) – Grimnar Ironhand

    Continuing my painting tutorial series with a Dwarf Noble model, and the start of a new Mordheim warband – the Dwarf Treasure Hunters. As my warband leader, Grimnar Ironhand provides the stubbornness and strength of the dwarves, ready to face any challenges that may come their way. I tried a few alternate techniques this time,…
