About the Project
So thanks to a rather tall n hairy fella showing his own Moonstone minis off on a recent weekender, Moonstone the game was put on my radar. Never really heard of it before and wasnt really looking for a new thing to get stuck into buuuuuuut when i saw the minis........ I was intrigued. Usually I dont really care much for the game but focus almost solely on the minis (minis over mechanics ALWAYS) but what wouldcha know, after watching a few playthroughs of the game...... Moonstone has both!! Awesome minis AND a really fun looking game! So I got the 2P starter set, the rulebook & one of the trolls and here. we. are. I'm setting up a seperate PLOG for Moonstone as I know I am going to be getting a lot more of the minis and actually playing the game as my wife - the amazing Seulgi, who usually has zero interest in TT games has actually shown a real interest in getting into the game (and as we all know will happen, solidly trouncing me at it!!)

All hail the King, The King is DONE!!!
This was a brute of a mini, an absolute brute!! Buuuuuuuut he’s done!!!
Not an easy model to paint: king, 3 pages and the throne. One of the trickiest hurdles though was in the casting – not the quality but in the choices the caster(s) made in how to cut the model for the mould. Simply put, this model should have been cast in more parts. Casting it in so few parts to save on mould real estate left several really tricky blind alley areas which were an absolute bastard to get in at to paint!! And there was a hell of a lot of details to this mini!!
But he’s done, finally, the last mini of 2023!!! This is the alt version of the Goblin King, a character I didnt think I’d ever paint as I (really) dont like the regular version of the king but this version is an absolute belter!!
Gnomishness!
I thought I’d try and be a bit more regular…….. in my project updates that is. My fibre intake is fine thank you very much!
After working on so many of the bigger Moonstone minis in a row, I though a smaller one would be quicker and easier to get finsihed………. WRONG!! They all take ages!!! Size has bloody nothign to do with it !!!
Anyways – gnomes are small. Gnomes should be quick to paint…….. sigh
Here’s where I’m at with one of the new(ish) gnomes for the Commonwealth. There are 3 nordic themed gnomes Liv, Bjorn and some wee brat…. Olim i think.
Loved Liv when I first saw the previews and was well eager to get the paint on her. She is very small and as per usual packed with a load of detail.
She has been a lot of fun to work on and am rather happy how her hair and feathers have turned out 🙂
Oh hasn't it been a while!!!
Back with a wee ‘ here’s what i’ve been doing’ post! Yeah I really do suck at being consistent – buuuuuuuuuut with a now…… (counts on fingers) 11 month old squigling in the house, things have been a touch………. FECKING NUTS!!!!
Still painting n loving the Moonstone (yeah yeah…… a modicum of credit to Gerry……. mumble mumble……. ) and even played in my first ever tourney (of any kind) at Adepticon in March! I didnt get tooooootally stomped and won one of my four matches. For the very most part the other players were absolute stars and a really lovely bunch of folk to meet and play with. It really a great game adn community that goes with – none of that WAACs shite or meta bollox etc etc. Just folk having the shits n giggle over a really fun ‘ whimsical’ game 🙂
Anyways……… few more denizens of Tauber finished now and again all big fellas. I do seem to be painting all the bigger models from the range and thats really why it takes me so damn long to finish one…… ahem…………. thats my excuse and its true 😛
I started on the new Eric model, Eric the Enlightened at Adepticon and then finished him up looooooong after returning home!! Lovely model but a strange choice of how the model was ' cut' for the mould whcih made painting areas of him a bit of a PIA. He's also a complete prick to photograph!! The base for those interested was made with bits of bark from the garden. Waheey for free basing materials :D
Hmmmmmm.............. This is Drunken Fritz...... he's the alt sculpt of Fritz for the Commonweath......... Fritz is a dick! Dont be like Fritz!! This drunknen arse of a landsknecht (sp) nearly sent me around the fecking pole and he's on my list of ' will never accept for commission work' - he took an age and was a real PIA to paint. That said - lovely lovely model......... once finished. The level of detail is as high as ever with Moonstone and then some. I will never paint this puffy sleeved twat again!!!! (amn really happy how he turned out though!!) 
One more!! Boulder the Stone Troll. This lovely fella was one of the first Moonstone minis I came across and was one of the characters that sold me on the range. Such a gorgeous sculpt and I tried to do that kinda sad and gentle look about him justice when painting. A friend gifted him to me at Adepticon so was delighted to finally get a chance to paint him :) 
Well that’s me all caught up for now, at least for the ones I’ve managed to finish!! Working on Liv the nordic gnome and the new alt sculpt of the goblin king at the mo so shall try n pop a few WiPs up when i get the chance 😀
Another for the cult!
As Adepticon draws closer, I’ve been trying to fill out my Leshavult for the Moonstone tourney there. Latest to get all finished up is Loubard the blind giant.
This is not the usual Loubard sculpt but rather the alt version which I was lucky enough to be gifted by a friend recently
Absolute belter of a mini to paint I really enjoyed this one. I wanted to make him a little more in keeping with my other Leshavult and away from his possible Commonwealth ties so added in some tatts and made his trousers a little less bright and garish than the boxart version
Oooooooooooh it's been a right ol' while!!!!
Been an age, a right while……….but havent been idle!!! Been working my way through a reasonable backlog of the denizens of Tauber with a leaning towards the mystical followers, the cultists, the Leshavult!!
So let’s have a wee catch up with a surprise WiP at the end!!!
I like trolls........ Troll are fun! Bristlenose from the Dominion was always one I was going to paint no mattter what faction I focused on. Really lovely sculpt and a really characterful fella t'paint 
Voth and his wee pal Homunculus were part of the last KS that GKG ran. They are not exactly part of any of the 3 factions but part of the Eldritch wizards (they that buy up the moonstones) Homunculus was a lot of fun to paint, esp the book on his back but Voth reeeeeeeeally outstayed his welcome and just. would. not. get. finished!!! First Moonstone mini that I havent enjoyed painting! Came out ok though 
And now on to the Lesh!! One of my absolute favourite minis from Moonstone - Boris the Bunny Botherer.....ahem........ summoner. This guy was a serious joy to paint. Lovely lovey character adn those little murder bunnies........... definitely going to be part of my Troupe at the Adepticon!!
One of the latest releases for the end of last Knoll the grumpy hermit troll was a must have. He took an aaaaaaaaaaaaage to paint mind as he is oozing with detail. 
One final WiP - latest miniature to add to the WiPping shelf is this little rascal, our new~ish born daughter Aerin! 24 weeks old today!!!! Have a great day folks :) A few more to join the Dominion! Of Fire & Wings
Few more Tauberites finished and taking their place amongst the New Dominion!
First up is Firespitter and his bellows…. b…. pal 🙂 Firespitter was actually the first released mini for Moonstone and he still really stands up.
he did take a while to finish up and candle OSL is ……… a bit of a pain to do but definitely worth it!!
But got him done we did!!
Next up is Vespa atop her Bane-Bug stead!!
I have a dislike of those clear flying stand thingys so with a micro arts base and a twig from the garden ………. Vespa flies again!
I really liked the box art for Vespa so based a lot of the palette on that. Using brighter and more saturated colours than usual on Vespa gave her a bolder and more dynamic look.
The wings of the BaneBug are clear plastic so painting them was going to be …… a differnet chalenge. After looking at pics of real world wasps, I glazed an orangey brown colour on using Tamiya clear enamel paints – not something i use very often
A few more completed denizens of Tauber!
Well a very happy if belated Happy New Year to one n all!!
Oh things have been a touch of the busys since I last posted but Moonstone has kept on going (every Friday on Twitch) and I’ve finised a few more!!
Soooooooo let’s have a gander!!!
First up...... Sir Hogwash & Chops is finally all done!!! This guy took way longer than expected to finish but he can out really nicely I think! 
Next up - one of the 3 Witches - Danica The Dusk Witch 
Mr. Toddles the Faun. I really like the fauns and will definitely be putting together a Leshavult Troupe. The bases for the Fauns are from the fantastic MicroArtStudio
One of my absolute favourite Moonstone sculpts - Jayda the faun. Love this mini and she was an absolute pleasure to paint
Sir Hogwash & Chops!
With all the Moonstone that I picked up at Salute, twas a bit of a task who to paint first! But in the end I decided on the wonderful Sir Hogwash and his warthog which chat promptly named ‘Chops’ !!!
Chops is now mostly done barring a few soft glazes later on.
