🧛‍♂️ Vampire Hunters Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) Michael’s younger brother and reluctant hero. Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) Hardcore vampire hunter with serious comic book energy. Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) Edgar’s brother and fellow monster-slayer. Nanook (Cody) Sam Emerson’s loyal pet dog.

Vampires David (Kiefer Sutherland) The stylish and sinister leader of the vampire gang. Paul, Dwayne, Marko (Brooke McCarter, Billy Wirth, Alex Winter) David’s crew, each with their own flair. (Painting note: Marko’s jacket was a nightmare, and Dwayne’s leopard sleeve detail? I did my best!)

Back in 2024, I backed Hayland Terrain’s “Santa Cruz Crew” Kickstarter - 28mm metal miniatures inspired by the film "The Lost Boys". They’re perfect for 'When Nightmares Come', though I haven’t had a chance to play it yet.

In the 1979 Disney film The Black Hole, V.I.N.CENT is a small, hovering utility robot aboard the U.S.S. Palomino, voiced by Roddy McDowall. His full name is "Vital Information Necessary CENTralized," and he is known for his smart, polite, and sometimes superior personality. V.I.N.CENT is an important part of the crew, possessing weapons, flight capabilities, and an ability to communicate with Dr. Kate McCrae via a form of telepathy.

Drathro, known as the Immortal by a group of humans, was an L3 maintenance robot created by the sleepers to watch over them and their secrets while they rested in suspended animation. Drathro appears in the 6th Doctor story 'The Mysterious Planet'. Which is the first serial of the larger narrative known as The Trial of a Time Lord.

If you see this, QTP with a gif of a vampire that isn't Dracula. 🦇

So many legendary bots from across sci-fi, anime, and gaming universes, how do you even narrow it down? I could go full data dump mode and keep replying with more!

Another cold-weather survivalist joins the ranks - ready to brave the elements. Slowly making progress through my Athena Miniatures backlog. Outfit colours inspired by Trespass gear.

For this week's #MiniatureMonday, I painted two figures from the Across the Realms line: a gritty mechanic/maintenance woman and a sharp-looking diplomat or official. Loving the contrast in character vibes!

Away from home at the moment, so had to resort to downloading pictures from the 'other' place.

Morning #nerdlings. Slim pickings for this week's #miniaturemonday, as I offer up these six Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder figures with #Stargrave heads and arms.

Challenged this guy to a game, but he's taking ages to make his move!

How about this for a gaming table? Found this model in Besalù, looks like 28mm scale.

Post a female character you love.

Posted while currently listening to the latest 13th Doctor adventure from Big Finish!

Boy & Girl Urchins – Perfect for hive city alleyways, underhive encounters, or fantasy street scenes. The Boy at the back has had a hand swap.

Street Dealer – Shady and sharp, this figure screams black market dealings or cyberpunk intrigue. Factory Worker – Covered in grime and fatigue, ideal for industrial zones or labour revolts.

Slob Chefs – Possibly my favourite of the bunch - equal parts comic relief and culinary chaos. Burly Citizen – A rugged, working-class figure who could be a dockworker, enforcer, or disgruntled local.

Grimdark Nun – A versatile version, ideal for gothic fantasy games like Frostgrave or Mordheim. Grimdark Nun (NSFW Variant) – A daring sculpt that leans into mature themes, best suited for adult-oriented campaigns. This version will be painted to suggest a skin-tight outfit, keeping things stylised and thematic, rather than explicit.

New 'Across the Realms' Grimdark minis. Perfect for adding depth to your sci-fi or fantasy tabletop. Urchins, dealers, chefs, and nuns (yes, really!). Printed by HighlandGamingMinis with crisp detail. Great for narrative campaigns or terrain flavour. #Wargaming #WIPWednesday #Wargames #Nerdlings

Lastly, I finished up a cold-weather child survivor from Athena Miniatures, plus a rescued plastic unicorn toy - primed, painted, and ready for fantasy adventures. A fun contrast between grim realism and whimsical charm! 3/3

#MiniatureMonday #wargames #wargaming #nerdlings

Next up: a batch of Wargames Atlantic Cannon Fodder figures, customised with #Stargrave heads and arms.
I’m aiming for a grounded, utilitarian, and a bit rugged aesthetic. The mix of parts really helps sell that lived-in, frontier vibe. 2/3

3d printed by Ashelnia3dprinting via eBay, and the quality was excellent (crisp details and minimal cleanup required). A man and woman dressed in futuristic civilian clothing.

Managed to get some painting done last week - quite a mix of figures this time.
First up: a pair of 3D designs from Across the Realms, described as 'Grim Dark' civilians. 1/3

Is there a problem over at Lead Adventure Forum or is it just me?

#wargaming #wargames #nerdlings

Oh no, I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope you’re starting to feel much better now and taking it easy.

I'll let Leo say it.

No painting progress this week, but I wanted to share these anyway. Papsikels’ Replicants and Runners bring Blade Runner-inspired flair to the tabletop with some stylish, and mostly unarmed sci-fi civilians that break free from the grimdark.

Post a best “you don’t know who you’re messing with” scene from movie history?

a man in a suit and tie is crying and saying `` i 'm fine , it 's fine `` . Alt: a man in a suit and tie is crying and saying `` i 'm fine , it 's fine `` .

That heartbreaking moment when your brand new resin model slips from your hands, hits the hard floor and shatters into a thousand pieces. And wow, did it shatter.
