If the merfolk are to be believed, there is a deep trench in the Kimean Sea between Valkae and the coast of Sortium in which the Deep Ones dwell. The Deep Ones are large slow moving humanoid creatures with fish-like maws. They fanatically worship the Great Old Ones, particularly Cthulhu and spread their religion by… Continue reading Deep Ones

Shadow Sisters & Skeletal Undead
In addition to painting a batch of Sci-Fi figures this week, I finished some fantasy figures as well. They are all from Reaper Miniatures and all have been sitting in the painting queue, which gamers call "the lead pile" for several years. Well, I'm doing my best to reduce that pile. First a little teensy-weensy… Continue reading Shadow Sisters & Skeletal Undead
Kassandra and Onastaa
Turning away from the Old West, I managed to finish two fantasy figures this week. Both are from Reaper Miniatures, but from different ranges. Onastaa Onastaa is of course, a caster. She is from Reaper's Dark Heaven range. She was sculpted by Sandra Garrity in either the late 1990s or early 2000s. The figure is… Continue reading Kassandra and Onastaa
A Street Samurai, Support Sisters & Dwarfs
Is there a pattern to what I paint? Well, sorta, maybe. I have what is called in miniature gaming a "huge lead pile." That means I've accumulated a large number of figures over the years that I just haven't painted or gamed with. A shame, really. I should be forced to walk naked through the… Continue reading A Street Samurai, Support Sisters & Dwarfs
Mules and Mercs
Leaving the painting table this week are a pair of pack mules and four science fiction figures. Pack Mules Pack mules are useful in many games and genres from fantasy and ancients up modern times. While the stereotype is the Old West geezer/prospector with his trusty mule - the mule has served as pack animal… Continue reading Mules and Mercs
DIY Dungeon Tiles
I took a break from painting to create some dungeon tiles. One of the recurring questions that appears on the Two Hour Wargame Forum is "what's the difference between 2 Hour Dungeon Crawl and the dungeons in Talomir Tales" or "Warrior Heroes Legends" or "Warrior Heroes Armies & Adventures?" That's right, there's four games from… Continue reading DIY Dungeon Tiles
Painting Desk – Week 3
What happened to week 2? Well, when we left the painting desk at the end of week 1, I had 30 goblins on the desk. I was going to speed paint goblins and get ahead in the mini count. Turned out that I couldn't get inspired to paint them. I got them all primed &… Continue reading Painting Desk – Week 3
Painting Desk Week 1 – Fantasy & Aliens
Last week, which was last year, I set a goal to paint 520 miniatures in 2019. Here's what came off of the painting desk this week, six fantasy figures and four science fiction figures. Plus, I rebased two figures that had already been painted. Alexis Spellsinger First up is Alexis Spellsinger from Reaper Miniatures. One… Continue reading Painting Desk Week 1 – Fantasy & Aliens
A Sacrificial Altar
When I began this hobby, we were into mass fantasy combat. Terrain consisted of a sheet spray painted green and brown, a hill or two, a few trees, and a cardboard building to block line of sight. The rules we used seldom required more than three pieces of terrain. Today, I play more skirmish level… Continue reading A Sacrificial Altar
Talomir Tales Gnolls for Piathoe’s Peaks
Gnolls Gnolls are large humanoid creatures resembling hyenas. In some parts of Talomir they are known as Hyenafolk. These creatures form packs and are seldom found alone. Packs typically range in size from 10 to 30, though larger packs, often called "tribes" have been known to be as large as 100 members. They are known… Continue reading Talomir Tales Gnolls for Piathoe’s Peaks
Amazons for Piathoe’s Peaks
While making repairs around Floozy Manor, I did manage to sneak a little time to paint up a band of mounted Amazons for use with Piathoe's Peaks from Two Hour Wargames. I've had these miniatures for a while and finally kicked myself in the rear and got a few of them painted. The Amazons are… Continue reading Amazons for Piathoe’s Peaks
Where Are Piathoe’s Peaks?
With the launch of Talomir Tales - Piathoe's Peaks, some of you may be wondering where are Piathoe's Peaks? Piathoe's Peaks is one of three mountain ranges on the island of Valkae, home of the Amazons. The largest mountain range is the Slumbering Dragons, a large impassable range of mountains that run east to west… Continue reading Where Are Piathoe’s Peaks?
