Listen, I’ll Post Miniatures Later. This Has Been My Day So Far And I’m Not Over It.

And silent in the night comes the Warhammer Quest box, painted in MacVey style to make the nostalgia effect of times gone by even stronger. When I open the box I smell the 90's. Urgh! For those who missed the previous episodes, everything is hand painted with a brush and I post the photos of the other legendary games. At this point, only Talisman is missing, but I don't know how to do it....

My first tumblr holiday! Let’s fucking go!

I painted this Chaos Daemon for a painting contest on Discord. I was inspired by the level transitions from the old Altered Beast Sega game.

Squiggles: Let the Rainbow Taste You!

My poison tree frog inspired squig squad. Not all of them match a real world frog coloration. I definitely took some liberties.

The Witchfate Tor! I painted this a long time ago around whenever it came out. It’s due for some touch ups! The “statues” are game pieces from a TSR Hobbies board game called “Dragonstrike” that I bought at a surplus store called Ax Man. Back then I was a smoker with a Redbull habit. Nothing some steady dry brushing and spot detailing couldn’t fix!

I also have the ruined version, the Dreadstone Blight, and another tower whose name escapes me. Not the Deathknell Watch, the other one with the asymmetrical construction that could double as an observatory. Let me know if you know the name!

Some tips for hobbying while being cheap and neurodivergent:

If you, like me, pick up cool rocks and want to show them off and have cool terrain at the same time: glue them into cool piles on a piece of cardboard to make landmarks. People have been stacking large rocks in piles for millennia to mark trails and denote distances. And now everyone can see your cool rocks on the tabletop!

Do you ever worry about mixing up too much Green Stuff or Milliput? Have a leftover epoxy putty project. Don’t rush it, it’s just where you put all the leftover stuff. It doesn’t look like much now, but one day I’ll have a four armed, two headed Chaos Giant because I keep mixing up a little too much putty!

Do you ever want to do make statues for your terrain, but you don’t want to sacrifice a whole mini to make one? Glue extra horns and weapons onto Knights and Warriors style army men from the dollar stores! You’ll have some convincing statues after just a prime and a dry brush or two!

Throgg the King of Trolls and Harold Hammerstorm! I was lucky enough to buy Harry the Hammer for Games Workshop’s 25th anniversary in 2000. And Throgg I paid way too much to get in box on eBay. It was worth it to paint him though!!

I’m building up to it, getting ready for my contest entry. But this is someone else’s kitbash. It came in those bags of loose minis and bits I bought off eBay. It was a really good idea so I went for it when I painted it.

Chaos War Mammoth that I painted a few years ago!

I insist that on pi day, March 14th, if you are going to eat a pizza to celebrate the day…. You should get a weird pizza. Don’t just get another trad pizza. Eat that weird pizza you’ve been wanting to try. Eat a weird pizza.
