2025 Painting Log
You think this is funny?
The rules for Hairfoot Jousting offer a variety of pitches for games to play out on, each with a table of weird random events that can happen during the game. One of them involves a row of barrels, out of which a clown can appear, who then runs around the pitch getting in the way and distracting the jousters. So naturally I would need a halfling jester.
The search led me to Midlam Miniatures, who have a wonderful assortment of medieval/fantasy townsfolk and civilians (plus some truly weird beekeeper cultists). They had the jester I was after, and plenty more besides. I ended up ordering about $50 worth of stuff, including two more jesters (all three were a set, I couldn’t break that up), a few tavern wenches, a stern looking nun, and the intriguingly named “man running with small bemused pig.”
I’ll most likely be using the rest of them for Guards of Traitor’s Toll, and I’m also starting to think about the crossover potential between Traitor’s Toll and Hairfoot Jousting…
2025 models painted so far: 153, for 12 different games
These are lovely! Definitely going to add suitable whimsy to any table
Thanks! I was pretty delighted when I found them, and lately I find myself wanting to paint in brighter colors, so…
