I needed another troll for an upcoming WHAT (Warrior Heroes Adventures in Talomir) encounter. I found this one in my pile of unpainted miniatures. It's an Ice Troll from Reaper Miniatures Bones line. Once I found a color scheme I liked, it was pretty easy to paint. Let me know what you think. As always,… Continue reading Ice Troll

Partisans, Bar Flies & Other Folk
Well, I finally finished the Bolshevik Partisans and a few other miniatures as well. I'm moving closer to that goal, but with only three months left, will I make it? Probably, not - but it's going to be fun to try. Bolshevik Partisans The partisans are from Copplestone Castings' Back of Beyond range. I purchased… Continue reading Partisans, Bar Flies & Other Folk
Colonial Marines, Slavers, Dragon Born & a Fly Demon

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

The rules we used seldom required more than three pieces of terrain. Today, I play more skirmish level… Continue reading A Sacrificial Altar

Dungeon Tiles, Painting Gnolls, and a Study in Red
This month has been a little slow, hobby-wise. It has alternated between cold and warm and cold and hot and freezing weather here in the Dallas area, often on the same day. The wild fluctuation in temperature has played havoc on my health. So chalk one up for the "it sucks to get old" meme.… Continue reading Dungeon Tiles, Painting Gnolls, and a Study in Red
Plastic Monster Goodness
Have you ever needed a monster or dragon in a game, but didn't have the big bucks for a metal model? Never fear, there are wonderful plastic models on the market that don't cost an arm and a leg, and best of all, they don't look like everyone's favorite purple dinosaur, Barney. For this last… Continue reading Plastic Monster Goodness
