Completed Poxwalker Mob!
Let the plague bells ring! Friends, I have at long last closed the books on my mob of twenty Dark Imperium poxwalkers with this round-up. I started putting the wretches together in June 2017, when the boxed set came out, and now we come full circle to June 2020. What a long, disease-ridden road (punctuated…

Commissar Poxwalker #19 Completed
I finished Commissar Poxwalker #19 here before its counterpart, Khorne Flower Poxwalker #20, who is also a commissar, as chance would have it.* The picture-taking got a little out of order but I’ve gotten that all sorted and can now present this (not quite) latest addition to my foetid forces. There wasn’t a lot of…

Poxwalker #20 (with a Khorne Flower?)
So I’m seeing the light at the end of purulent tunnel, as it were, poxwalker-wise with this latest offering. I had plans to go with a similar orange type flesh that I was so pleased with on the last one, but as seems to so often be the case with my diseased quasi-zombies when I…

April 2020 “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” Painting Challenge Round-up (Part 2 of 2)
Welcome to second half of the April 2020 Paint the Crap You Already Own! painting challenge. Part One of this painting challenge round-up can be found here. First up is John’s Franco-Prussian War marching Prussian infantry, currently on parade from Just Needs Varnish!. John mentioned that this “marching unit is a bit different from the…

April 2020 “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” Painting Challenge Round-up (Part 1 of 2)
Part Two of the Challenge is Here. My thoughts turned (as they often do, especially when I’m buying another box of undead or demons or something) to the fact that most of us already have a box or closet or garage full of unpainted plastic and wouldn’t it be nice to chip away at…

Sixty Day Miniatures of Magnitude Painting Challenge! (May-June 2020)
Time for another painting challenge! This time the idea is to paint at least one model that represents a creature, machine or terrain piece that is on the larger side. Aircraft, daemon engines, tanks, giants, trains, cavewomen riding mammoths, ships, and beasts that are great, writhing masses of tentacles, eyes, and maws that tumbled down…

Bugbear with Mace & Shield Finished
I finished my first Etsy Bugbear with a mace and shield last night and took some pictures this morning. I’m fairly happy with him because whatever shortcomings he has paint-wise I do think he does look suitably powerful and brutal. I can’t help but think that my new friend here would be at home in…

Forgotten Ones Anthology, Bigfoots & Bugbears
Somewhere in the dissolving folds and mists of space-time, between obsessing over getting my 20 poxwalkers done in less than three years and finishing an Etsy bugbear before the current painting challenge closes on May 3rd, I received my author’s copy of Forgotten Ones, published by Eeire River Publishing out of Ontario, Canada, and it…

Somewhat Orange Poxwalker #18 Finished
I finished Work-in-Progress (Nurgle Alert!) Poxwalker #18 the other day so MAGPPXWLKER-XVII has a special friend now.* Despite my glacial pace, I’m currently in real danger of actually finishing up the Dark Imperium contagion-zombie mob.** Whatever happens, I’ve completed a little “crap I already own” for the April painting challenge and I’m feeling pretty good…

Base Experiment: Wet, Dark Earth
I have been thinking for awhile now about how to base my miniatures because for the past five years or so I have almost exclusively based my figures by simply gluing sand and maybe putting in a rock or bush somewhere. Works fine, but now I’m painting miniatures that I don’t want to put in…
