About the Project
After a flood of kickstarter miniature games arrived I realized just how many starter sets for different game systems I have unpainted. In many cases I've been playing with them for years but the time has come to add some love and colour to these models that I've bought.

Dark Age Irish saga
I intended to take photos from beginning to end. Next thing you know I was spraying them in varnish. Am I the only person that says “I’ll just do a small force of ……” only to find they end up with hundreds of models? This started as a 4 point Saga warband because I was given 4 blisters of Crusader miniatures Irish.
No wonder I never finish anything……
That's when I went berserk!
I have hundreds of Vikings. I did a test model which became 8. I’ll come back to them.
Well Ulricy then.
I’ve been AoS curious for a while now. I did some Khorne Blood Warriors a couple of months back and wanted someone for them to fight. The rule was they had to have snowy bases.
The tragedy here is that I tried them on rounds to begin with. Troops like these look best ranked up and ranking up troops on round bases sucks as they like they are all in loose order. Also, all snow bases look to stark. towards the end I had a few Mordheim models from the Middenheim gang. I put a bushes on those and realized I may have to continue throughout the army.
I must be Bats!
I’m almost finished with Warhammer Quest 1st Ed. Just rats and spiders to go now. The miniatures are very cartoony and lack a lot of detail but the nostalgia value is super high. I don’t waste a lot of time painting models from these era as it rarely pays off.
Trolling the Nightvault
I love the Shadespire/Nightvault game. The models are next level and when I look back at my Warhammer Quest 1st Ed models……. 24 years is clearly a long time in the miniatures industry.
I might give Magore’s fiends a lick of paint next.
Does this armour make my Axe look big?
Not sure if this colour scheme works. Going to tidy it up and hope for the best. Like my Blood Reavers I don’t like the ‘Khorne is red’ mentality. Although I’m sure after a battle these guys would be….
Oh and then I’ll do the Orks
Chaos and Orcs
So I stuck with that paint scheme for the Chaos Warriors. Personally I think it looks great although white would be completely impractical for followers of Khorne.
The Orcs however will get into combat that little bit faster with red armour. Chipped and tarnished it still looks great!
Next, the Mighty Khorne Lord!
More Song of Ice and Fire
So I’ve done some more GoT stuff. 2 more units of Stark Swordsmen, 1 more unit of Berserkers and a bunch of Stark characters.
Oh, and the iconic Throne of Swords.
