This larger piece turned out a little better after some lessons learned on those other buildings. Mainly…don’t add a graffiti transfer over paper… for now anyway. Ha! As my post a…

I am not starting brand new fleets for Victory at Sea. I promise I am not. Really. However, I thought it would be fun to have some sea-based targets for the Battle of Midway mini- (very mini) campa…

I contemplated not posting some of my recent work because the end results are a bit disappointing. Maybe I attempted something outside my skillset, but probably it was just more outside my patience…

This tale begins in much the same way as those Killer Kanz back in April . It was TFNation week and I was in a holding pattern, expecting...
I've been away from miniature painting for a while, but I just bought the new heroquest and want to paint it.
The miniatures seem to be made of a weird rubber or soft plastic that I've not used before, what kind of primer works best on these? I'm worried normal primer will just flake off.
Edit: I probably should add, I'd prefer something I can shoot through my airbrush.
I've collected enough for a 1K army, just need to get through and finish up the painting now. Slightly regretting choosing an army with so much trim as the first minis I'll paint, and even more so that I painted them in slightly ugly colours first and am now having to repaint the Rubricae... But I am excited to finally table them sometime in the future!
NGL I'm super excited for the games and the hype photos
I've got more shots to take for the different factions I've been printing but I'm quickly getting through them that's for sure
Edit: Quickly getting through the printing, not the hype shots. I've only gotten 2 hype shots done so far: 1 for the War Daemons and 1 for the Dwarfs.

- scentofagamer.wordpress.com Daily miniature: swamp creature
This Bones miniature may have a proper name, but I don’t know what that is. It’s a decent enough swamp-dwelling monster-looking thing to have as a surprise adversary in a campaign.
Oof, painting big white skin is actually quite tough to get looking decent.
This is a 3D print I received. It has quite a few support marks, which I decided to paint as scales, since this was a paintjob on a time limit. Some holes in the wings with greenstuff smushed in and vaguely smoothed.

In my last post, I mentioned that GW had just released something that got me thinking ‘that’s nice, I bet I could get that built and painted in a single weekend.’ It also helped t…
- smallscalevictory.com Off the Bench: Venice
Kinda. I have a lot more to do for this board. It needs scatter, more buildings–a ton of stuff. I’ve only finished the townhomes for now, which was a ton of work. I used Apple Barrel cr…

It kinda feels like cheating at the moment – I am purposefully putting off large projects while I await the new Age of Sigmar releases, and just going through a bit of backlog and the odd eBa…
- ttgamingdiary.wordpress.com Navigator for Agents of the Imperium
Just a quick single model this time, which took all of 20-odd minutes because, well, Slapchop – a new Navigator from the Agents of Imperium (which I don’t think is all that new, as I ha…

Painting horses is one of those things that we just do, as wargamers. It’s a strange thing too, because while we’re normally willing to make the effort to find reference images of unifo…
