Thank you.

Thanks

Two 28mm 'cultist' toy soldiers. They hold large axes, are dressed in black and red robes with metal masks over their head. The scene is in the desert with a ruined Egyptian statue in the midground and hills in the background.

Sometimes you just need to launch speed paint onto some metal to get the ball rolling again.

@handiworkgames.bsky.social is Mossy Bob on your roster of artists for background books? 😉 youtu.be/nlUYjbfwbLE?...

Deploy emergency fez?

Hobby brain switched from painting minis to scratch building terrain last week. I've got a ruined house and tower ready to be primed.

I only found out about the Tripartite Indenture a couple of weeks ago, which I found surprising for the amount of time that I spent in Alnwick as a child en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripart...

Thanks. I now think I should have covered the bases too, to integrate them even more.

A fantasy scene of 2 toy soldiers. One is a person in a black robe holding a staff and raising the other hand stands opposite a person with a sword in one hand and musket in the other. They stand in a desert with a broken Egyptian statue in the background, with rolling dunes beyond that.

Always use steel to threaten a mystic.

There's a written up internet protocol to use pigeons (or any bird I suppose), so...

Here are a couple of miniatures from The Egyptian Unit for #Silverbayonet. Although I love that the versatile Sci-Fi backdrop book can be used for Egypt, I'm looking forward to having options.

Deserts! Hot.

Painted this marvellous wendigo, my first #moonstone figure, a few weeks ago. Then he waited patiently on my table until I got around to putting a twig (log) on his base for him to crawl over.

My take on Ursa from #Predator "Killer of Killers". Mainly Frostgrave parts, with a couple of 3D printed shields from etsy.

4 28mm viking miniatures on a beach. Lindisfarne castle is in the background.

Two vikings attack 2 monks : 28mm models. Lindisfarne castle is in the background.

A year since I took some viking minis to Lindisfarne for the anniversary of the invasion in 793.

10 28mm miniatures. Elves with swords, shields and helmets.

After literally decades of wondering what to put on the shields of this Regiment of Renown I was struck by inspiration today. Mengil Manide's Dark Elves now have flayed skin nailed to their shields, using @peachytips.bsky.social masking tape method for cloth youtu.be/JJ0cOFKpto4?...

Oswiu for turning his back on the Irish date for Easter in favour of the Roman one at the Synod of Whitby.

Is that the other Partizan? Do you list the shows that you attended anywhere?

I couldn't agree more about the bayonets on the Empress miniatures. I'll have to check out the other ranges you mention in the blog.

We went to Souter Lighthouse yesterday. It has a fog horn too!

The contents of an order from Fenris Games: a flagstone base, some stickers and a thank you note.

Great service from @fenrisgames.com : delivery 24 hours after I ordered. Time to get cracking on my latest project.

Ooh. Now if I'd noticed that section...
I've had the sewer covers for a couple of years!

A broken vignette of 28mm pulp miniatures on a green cutting mat.

Ha! That'll be me (I got the shipping notice already thanks). I'm using it to rebuild a vignette of old citadel "Gothic horror" minis that hasn't survived the past 4 decades.

Two 28mm miniatures. They have white trousers, blue tunics and "bearskin" hats. One is armed with a rifle, the other with a musket and a curved dagger.

After finishing these lads a week or so ago, I finally got around to photographing them. "Borgo Pass Tribesmen" from @crookeddice.bsky.social in front of a suitable backdrop from @handiworkgames.bsky.social
