Assorted Miniature Projects

I picked up Kaldrin & Brend from MOMminiaturas and painted them up to use in something Warhammer…probably!

I haven’t painted anything in a few weeks now so it was good to sit down and get back to work on some characters. The miniatures were a bit of a pain to clean but the details are nice.

I know there are still plenty of lines here and there but I just couldn’t be arsed to clean them and just wanted to get to painting – you won’t see them when you’re playing anyway…I hope.

I also managed to get a few moments to do the basing last night. Not much to say here other than a big bit blob of grass and a good ol’ dark brown base rim to make them feel Mordheim-esque.

You can also see the work on my next project in the background, another massive Orc miniature from MOMminiaturas. I am ready to build a deadly foe for Gotrek & Felix to fight!

This fellow is just at the start of the process at the moment with a drybrush all over the armour for ease and the start of the green skin. It will be fun to get into all the details though soon.

I am in the middle of a Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play adventure with some folks and thought I’d pick up a miniature to represent my Dwarf Slayer character.

This is one of the Dwarf Lords Of Legend from an old Citadel box that was kindly sent my way and I thought it would be a perfect candidate for my WFRP character.

I really liked the look of the miniature and it was fun to paint something Old World again.

I even painted him with a dark brown base rim to match those old Mordheim miniatures from White Dwarf etc!

I also took some time recently to paint up the characters from my Rangers Of Shadow Deep warband that I continually mean to get working for my games on the tabletop.

The miniatures were built from the Frostgrave Soldiers kit and show off the Ranger and his companions more or less at the end of their painting journey. They need highlighting and basing but they have come together rather nicely I thought.

So, one of the things that I’ve been inspired by recently has been Blood Bowl. So, I picked up the old Blood Bowl set I had, dug out an Orc and had a go at painting one!

It was a lot of fun painting up some of the old miniatures even though the details on them are much more lacking compared to the new ones.

I am going to paint up one of the Humans next but it would be cool to hear what colour I should go with for their kit? Blue as standard or something different?

In a little bit of a gap in my schedule for painting I thought I’d work on this character from the Atlantis Miniatures range.

I had a lot of fun painting up this miniature, even with all of the fiddly details on the model. These miniatures from Atlantis are some of the best out there, especially if you’re looking for detailed roleplaying characters and ace skirmish groups.

It was painted and finished on my Twitch Livestream every Tuesday and Sunday at because_dragons. Give me a Follow if you fancy hanging out and watching some more of my work over the coming weeks.

I was very lucky to get my hands on some of the miniatures from Dunkeldorf Miniatures/King Games new Kickstarter, The Prancing Peacock plus a few whole are from their previous campaigns – you might have seen a few of these models in this project before.

First up, we have a few of the bare metal miniatures (as they arrive from the range) and a few of the resin preview miniatures too. All of them are very nicely detailed and give you a cross-section of the different characters you’ll find in the range!

Beyond that, I then got stuck into the painting of these miniatures. I’ve collected together a few of them here but there is still a handful left to paint. One thing I will say from the off is that they are very characterful, packed with detail, and a lot of fun to paint.

The Noble above with his goblet of wine was probably my favourite miniature from the collection. I was really pleased with how he came out.

Again, I had a lot of fun with the mutant here and that little Dwarf Butcher. If I was going to be putting together a bit of a Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play adventure then these would make good characters, NPCs and such.

I’ve also got two of the older miniatures from the collection and their first Kickstarter that I dug out to show off again. You can even scroll back through this project to see my ill attempted take on a beard for the Merchant!

Make sure to let me know what you think of the miniatures and how they came out below. I have really enjoyed painting this range and once again, I thank King Games for sending me a few to paint up and show off.

Finally, Boromir in 10mm completes the actual Fellowship…

Time to get transferring them from those painting bases onto pennies and then basing the lot of them!

I am really proud of how Merry & Pippin turned out here. I think the techniques have more or less sorted themselves out for these!

I have also undercoated the alternative Boromir now and I’ll be taking a look at finishing him off later this week!
