On my painting table at the moment are the Sith Lords ‘Count Dooku’ and ‘Darth Vader’, from Star Wars Legion. I’m aiming to paint each of them to a decent tabletop standard with a minimum of fuss.

The Blackstone beckons. I wanna game so speed paint is the only way! Remove the thinking time and it's about 2 days work to get the whole starter set (45 models) to this stage.

Watching The Pacific TV box set with my son and seeing all the gorgeous US Marines Andy Zeck has painted made me reach for some old project ideas to get into some Pacific WW2 action. I have friends who have […]

This is a traveling project. I'm not settled into a new place to live and my hobby stuff is all over storage and with me along for the trip as I wanted to have some climate control and immediate access. […]

Help i have fallen to chaos and i cant get up

Found a full core rule box-set of warcry

Before you read the project, let’s all remember the Twitch.tv live stream from the Star Wars: Legion weekend where John painted some things live. (At least I think it was at that weekend, the past is blurry. Or my glasses […]

This was to document my progress of my 40k Harlequin Kill Team. If I restart this, it will be on my WordPress blog here: https://moriartisminis.wordpress.com/

This was to document the progress of my undead warband for Frostgrave. If I restart it, I will do so on my WordPress blog here: https://moriartisminis.wordpress.com/

This was to document my progress on my Walking Dead Miniatures and associated terrain. If I restart it, it will be on my WordPress blog here: https://moriartisminis.wordpress.com/

This was to document the progress on my Imperial Army for Star Wars: Legion. If I restart the blog, it will be on my WordPress blog here: https://moriartisminis.wordpress.com/

Picked up a project for the weekend, might be a tad ambitious but since I've always wanted Shadowsun. The new sculpt was too tempting to pass up.

As Blood Rage from CMON is one of my favorite games, and upon receiving the new KS 'Digital' add ons, I decided to take the plunge and paint the game's miniatures, especially as I plan on also using them in […]

I've moved my project to my WordPress blog. For anyone interested, it is here: https://moriartisminis.wordpress.com/

Wyton Gaming Club in Cambridgeshire ran a Horus Heresy (warhammer 30k) narrative event on 22 Feb 20. I've done a little video with my tournament list, it was my first one so be nice. I also managed to get a […]

Having done a lot of research into the Celts at the start of 2020, I now want to do a Celtic army with a fantasy twist, based on ancient Celt mythology.

I have pledged this year to complete 366 painted miniatures (one for each day as this is a leap year). This project will track my progress for the finished products. I am linking this to Lawnor's 2020 Hobby Pledges which […]

I had a thought the other day and ran down to my local flooring store and asked if they had any dropped samples I could have. They obliged and I found two carpet samples that would work perfectly for hedges. […]

Dusted off my ASOIAF Kickstarter pledge after encouraging some friends to pick up the new Free Folk / Targaryen start sets. Using that as motivation to try and paint some of the mountain of plastic that was shipped. First time […]

So I’ve reached peak pile of shame! I think Ive devised a realistic plan to try to reduce it. No actual picture as I don’t have a lens wide enough.

Ever since I saw the news about this little bugger I fell in love with him. This was a "see it, buy it, paint it". See: https://www.beastsofwar.com/news/wargame-exclusives-ork-snot-pram/

After having played a few games of Crisis Protocol ive decided its good enough to warrant a paint job. Completely different to what im used to doing so keeping my goals relatively low. Just need them to be table ready, […]

Continuing war on the pile of unpainted fantasy minis I just seem to keep accumulating... Will broaden the scope form purely WHFB/Warhammer Armies project to general fantasy so will include Kings of War, Frostgrave, Rangers of Shadow Deep, D&D and […]

Unboxing of the Institute wave miniatures for Modiphius' Fallout Wasteland Warfare

Since the beginning of Star Wars: Legion the Revell T-47 Snowspeeder has been on my mind. With 7 Euros it's much cheaper then the one from FFG but it's a tiny bit smaller. But as a terrain piece, this wont […]

Virtual tour of Cancon 2020. cancon is an annual convention held in Canberra, Australia in late january each year on or about the Australia Day long weekend. The con runs for three days and attracts thousands of gamers,hobbyists and spectators. […]

I am going to paint my 'adorable' Rancor from Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Jabba's Realm expansion.

I meant to get started with Crisis Protocol next but…I got a game of this played and wow did we have fun! So, I’m going to tackle this in stages. It’s a long term project and I’ll likely bounce around […]

Much like with my previous project where I painted up Rudd Threetrees and his Named Men from The First Law, I have been reading the graphic novels and books surrounding the doomed hero, Elric Of Melnibone. Taking some inspiration from […]

As the name suggests, I no longer own any star wars mini's, but I thought I'd convert one. Not sure if it'll work, but here goes.

So my daughter got the board game "The Dwarves" as a Christmas gift in 2019 and the game is really fun... but the minis are not painted! This needs changing!

I wanted to create this iconic unique style building for my star wars legion gaming table. Since this would take too long to print and require a lot of filament at this scale I decided to build it from XPS. […]

So, I play Kill Team and one of the things that I have found with many of the original units is the desire to have a lot of the options available, particularly for your weapon specialists. For the base units […]

Thought it might be fun to replace the standard figures with Lego proxies.

Spent the holidays painting the Dark Uprising and Kill Team terrain. Also pictures of the gangs I have painted over the years for the game.

The holidays gave me some free time to paint up this model. I wanted to keep with the fire theme and had the ghost spirit bursting thru a fire effect. This model was enjoyable to paint and i am near […]

I’ve played and really enjoyed this game…but with unpainted miniatures. I started off thinking I’d just paint a few of these (the 4 large player pieces) and then found I couldn’t stop myself there. Oh well, Infinity and Marvel Crisis […]

One of my 2020 resolutions is to clear my pile of shame. Unless the models are for an existing project, I will document my work on them here.

I will be playing through the full campaign of Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon. I will aim to do a chapter a week, writing each one up and reporting it on this blog. Warning: spoilers (probably)!

Creating a system neutral setting for a Star Wars campaign set immediately after the Rogue One movie.

I had an idea, road tested it, and it worked! A simple way to organise your batch painting with minimal use of space.
