I have had this second edition starter set for Bot War for ages and everything else kept getting in the way but after a discussion on our podcast about Transformers I informed my massive transformers fanboy co-host of this fabulous […]

Inspired by the news of Dreadball Allstars coming to kickstarter soon, I loved the first iteration and bought the second edition but did not paint the teams for it. Trying to finish the 4 teams from second Ed first.

I've got a whole bunch of Napoleonics in my collection so a friend convinced me to put together a warband for Silver Bayonet.

I started painting up models for the Egypt expansion of The Silver Bayonet ages ago, but can't find a record of it amongst my projects. I never finished the project and wasn't fully happy with the progress I had made […]

One Page Rules has been growing at my local club and I have been joining in, so far using some GW minis from 9th Ed (Primaris and Necrons). A tournament is scheduled for June and while its not required, I […]

In about 2015 I got into Warmachine Mk2 and over the next few years bought armies for Cygnar, Circle and Cryx with a number of Mercenaries. Cygnar and Circle were mostly painted with about half of Cryx and Mercs done. […]

After watching Rebel Moon, Andor, Halo and many others I wanted to create something to show the battles of oppressed against the evils of the mighty.

I started this army last year but never got beyond base coating the Cavalry. Spring Clean is the perfect time to finish this off. It's primarily planned for War of the Ring but will also work for MESBG.

I create three mini dioramas, each on a 60mm mdf base, as a way to remember three of my old Warhammer Fantasy & 40k armies, since I no longer play Warhammer games. Each dioramas features a character miniature from that […]

A little discrete project for this year's Spring Clean Challenge - five Desert Scorpion rough riders from Victoria Miniatures need painting.

So much potential, so little energy. For my first project and, by inference, my first Spring Clean Challenge, I have decided to attack the box I have just stubbed my toe on; Matt Barkley’s Vikings from Footsour Miniatures. I have […]

My first spring clean challenge, taking a mini from the bottom of my shelves of minis and making something cool!?

After much thought, I have decided to revive my old Empire army from me teenage years for the 2025 Spring Cleaning Challenge. I loved Warhammer Fantasy as a kid and that game and this army is really what started my […]

I dig out my old, unused Firstborn Space Marines from the 2004 Battle for Macragge and elsewhere, and convert them into a Deathwatch Army for One Page Rules Grimdark Future.

This year I'm going back to an old vignette that I made in the 1980s. It's been very battered by the passage of time, and I'm going to try to rebuild it, making it better than it ever was.

A reconstruction diorama of a medieval church at Ardrossan in Ayrshire, Scotland, where a stone sarcophagus Templar tomb was dug up in 1912. It's a reworking of another diorama I did years ago and will use a mix of 3D […]

I've flirted with WW2 games in the past. I've never jumped in, however, as I've had plenty of other games I'm working on. Then some associates pointed me to the V for Victory rule set and I absolutely loved it. […]

I bought an ambush set quickly followed by the old army set for Kings of War Northern Alliance. I made a quick start painting some of the models but ground to a halt. I am opening up the box again […]

Much like previous years, for this year’s Spring Clean challenge, rather than a single project, I will be working on various pieces that have either been languishing on my painting desk, waiting for a much needed refresh, or just grabbing […]

Painting an old set of Flintloque models

Spring challenge 2025. I need two OPR armies to demo to newbies. I've dug up some Basealians and some night goblins. What comes next we'll see.

After digging through my pile of opportunity I decided it was time to finish my boxes of unpainted Dungeon Saga. I painted the starter box The Dwarf King's Quest a couple of years ago and played some nice games. I […]

I was watching last week's "Ontabletop" whilst painting. On the announcement of this year's Spring Clean Challenge I started to ponder what my project would be. I have so many unfinished projects that I would like to return too. Some […]

I have a massive back log of unpainted Judge dredd miniatures. I often tell my wife that I want to get it painted so we can play the game, but usually get side tracked with something else. I decided to […]

Ten or so years ago I bought someone's 1st edition Guild models.. it feels time to do something with them

With the declaration of a new OTT 'Spring Clean Challenge, it's time to "Dustoff" my Vietnam War miniatures and to get more painted and get back into a great game!

My buddy @144Artist is super active. I dip in now and again. I’ve got a spring cleaning project of clearing all those misc stalled painting projects that have been taking up space on my workbench.

It's that time of year again when a middle aged man's fancy turns to thoughts of the Spring Clean Challenge. I really should just finish my fungus forest but think an entirely fresh project will be more exciting and jump […]

One Long Fang's journey to bring his favourite Chapter to the table.....

I have a big box of Epic scale ACW. And then I had the crazy idea to paint them as seen in photos … in greyscale! Clearing a project off the shelves, and doing something totally wacky could be fun, […]

ATO is my first paint project where I am primarily using acrylic paints and it took me a long time to do research on paint recipes and techniques to get the results I wanted (or close to wanting). I can […]

Spring Clean this year will be turning to the long neglected but much invested in Darkest Africa collection. Specifically I'm going to build an army for Death in the Dark Continent with savannah knights in. I've selected Bornu-Kanembu who controlled […]

After 30+ years in the Hobby and having moved house last summer, two things have happened: 1) from feb '24 - feb'25 I painted a grand total of 14 models (all for Salute '24), all 10mmm scale. I usually aim […]

A Spring Clean of somebody else's hobby in order to get in games of SAGA. A friend of mine will have less naked plastic and I'll have an opponent for regular games.

This started as a spring clean challenge 2024 to finish some long standing pile of shame miniatures and it’s still going I didn’t get as many done as I’d have liked so thought I’d continue to log the project. My […]

Aeon Trespass: Odyssey, by Into the Unknown. It's a Kingdom Death-esque board game with a world/map exploration phase. Stuff gets painted, and maybe even played with. KS link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingdomsforlorn/aeon-trespass-odyssey

Here lies a record of my Carnevale painting! The game and models are by TTCombat and it is a skirmish game based around fluid movement and leaping from rooftops.

This is the Order of Heimdallr, my own personal fantasy army. This will be an army personalized to things that I like and can relate to. There will be some kit bashes and conversions, especially on the characters, to make […]
