I recently bought a teeny tiny 3d printer. Now I have it (pretty much) dialled in, and, more importantly, I have some idea as to what I'm doing, I'm printing when I can. These trees were from the Kickstarter by […]

This project page is an experiment to record the myriad of minis I paint in a mediocre fashion.

Well this was an inevitably. Tons of commission work and personal MCP stuff.

Well, basically this is our #roadto40k, come join us on our way, read the first entry to get the whole story

A follow up to a personnal objective to play one game of miniature every single month.

I have been building and painting miniatures since I was a kid marveling at the neighbor's HO scale railroad layout. By college it had shifted to military and fantasy minis as I studied Illustration and Photography. Now, many decades later, […]

So many moons ago @avernos and I had a chat about "wouldn't it be nice to have some real live reference photos of how the world looks like from the point of view of every CoG?". This is my story.

Finally getting round to painting the Lead/Plastic pile of shame! Mostly old school minis from days gone by, some much more recent than others

Fresh blood! Must bring in the newbies, mates who have never gamed, old gamers, little proto gamers, wives who don’t know the way of the game yet and most of all we need new cannon fodder! Bring in the Newbies! […]

This is my first time trying out writing battle reports. Any constructive criticism is welcome.

Last year I ran a project to paint all the models I owned at the start of the year and I enjoyed the challenge of doing it. This year I aim to not only clear the backlog but also end […]

Adding 3D printing to my hobby toolkit.

Trying to make a multi-use burnt down warehouse. The mdf base is made from the stepped sides of a paint pot stand I didn't like (too big of a footprint for what it could hold). The walls are made from […]

Picking up the pieces: the last few years have been a difficult one for me health-wise, culminating in three surgeries on or around my spine over June & July 2019. Hobby post-surgery was not easy - due to how I […]

My attempt at kitbashember 2020. Genre is a bit mixed.

I made this project in response to an xlbs about gaming tables "Does less terrain mean more game". An overview of some gaming tables I set-up for some games I played.

This is my spot for all of the little hobby bits that aren't related to a specific game–or that are too minor to be worth turning into a full project.

Last week, the Beastie Boys introduced us to the new Heroforge 2.0 website. Make your own heroes! they said. So I did

I made a hot wire cutter. But while thrilled with the ability to cut foam, I was less than impressed with the finish on the cut pieces.

Hot wire cutters are brilliant for slicing up styrofoam for making terrain. But they're so darned expensive. At least, those tabletop ones are. And they're little more than a bit of a wire and a low voltage (DC) current. So […]

You might remember my paintathon project from 2019. If not, follow this link: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1442359/ This year I'll be painting my Blood Bowl Snotling Team with Troll. After that, the 40k Indomitus box gets a kick.

A project for all the miniatures that have no home.

Everyone need scenery, right? Boards look bloody empty if we don't bother with it... But what about accuracy? What would things look like in the real world? We can't look out of our windows and see all possible scenery there […]

It's August 2020 and the end is in sight. Out of the 2200ish models I own I only currently have 63 left to paint, so why not share the final push with everyone and watch me accidentally buy and print […]

This here will be a selection of YouTube channels that are discussing the topics surrounding all things miniature wargaming. Please add Channels in the comments, I will add them to the project later.

This will be a grab bag of terrain projects, mainly for fantasy skirmish games like Frostgrave. I'll have a mixture of scratch-built, kits and 3d-prints here.

Reorganize my hobby space with hobyzone

In a turnabout from the norm of me sending out packages I received a delivery from Blinky465. In it there was a small band of Amazons he had printed.

For the longest time, all I've wanted to do is create a game, with the growing interest in the board and tabletop games I figured this would be a good time to finally start getting ideas together and put together […]

Come one, come all! See the most vaguely inconsistent extravaganza that no one really thinks about but if they did they'd be mildly misanthropic about it! Slow off the heels of my last adventure comes a tale so confusing that […]

Bit of a micro project but I just discovered what the kids would call a ‘life hack’ and wanted to share. (I couldn’t get this to load as a single entry so please hit ‘view oldest first’ before continuing).

Painting up some extra units for Konflikt'47 US Army.

I have always wanted to build a gaming board but never got round to it, either through lack of funds or confidence. Anyway I’ve decided what am I waiting for let’s just see what I can come up with

I want better lighting on my project desk, so I have opted to build an LED arch light for maximum light and maximum shadow reduction.

I practice a Korean karate style called Kong Sudo. Whilst we've been in lock down our club has been doing a weekly art challenge - mainly drawing an animal or theme associated with our forms (forms are sequences of moves […]

I am experimenting with incorporating contrast paints into my repertoire, and am trying out different things here and there. I find that only using contrast paints on stark whiteish undercoats tend to become a but muggy or rough, and are […]

In this project I will experiment with basing techniques to get a nice wintery base for some future projects.

I try and unbox and rebox a bunch of old projects and build 22 kits at once!

As the title states, it's random stuff, but with very good reason. First, to encourage me to get stuff at the very least built, and ultimately painted. Second, to improve my painting which isn't terrible I can admit despite being […]

This is project record my attempts at getting some games in while we are all in isolation.

This is esoteric cleaning, as won’t actually clean my closets of unpainted minis or unfinished terrain, here I will grapple with all the techniques, materials, ideas and inspirations I always wanted to use but never did. I don’t know what […]

With me now having a little bit of experience with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software - Free and open source software for video recording and live streaming.) I thought I'd share some real basic things. This will be a WIP all […]
