“Neglected But Not Forgotten” Painting Challenge Round-up (March 2021)
The challenge for March was for people to dig into their pile of models and paint something they had owned for at least a year. I think most miniature painters, who have been at it awhile, have no general shortage of such models. the collector’s bug tends to hit model builders pretty strongly, no matter…

Reblog for Túbal Villar: “First time trying to sell my painted stuff… Dark Angels for sale!”
Originally posted on Túbal Villar – Virakotxa: https://www.ebay.com/itm/164825718664 Sad to a degree, but needed in the current situation… Both economical and space-wise… A bit of old and a bit of new… Starting at 50€, it will be my way to measure the market, the interest, and worst case scenario, I could get the same…

“First of the Year” 2021 Painting Challenge Roundup
We started off January with a challenge to showcase the first miniature people painted for January 2021 to start the year off right, painting-wise.

Twenty Zombies Join the Gray Legion
The strange desire to assemble models continues so I finished putting together this mob of 20 zombies, which Games Workshops brands aptly enough as Deadwalker Zombies. I suspect that this assembly bug I’ve been experiencing probably is because I don’t really feel like painting Frank’s Pig Demon right now even though I am pretty close…

Works-in-Progress: Frank’s Pig Demon and Wraiths Assembled

I’ve been alternately painting and ignoring this miniature for a very long time, but finally I think I’m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I had some ambitious ideas for the trident and have painted the…

Parcheesi 40K: Khorne vs. Ultramarines
My husband and I like to play Parcheesi off and on as a quick, low commitment way to get a little gaming in when the mood strikes us. It often works out for some reason that my dice tend to fall so I have late game zergs where I roll a lot of doubles and…

Miniatures of Magnitude Painting Challenge Round-up
May through June saw the Miniatures of Magnitude painting challenge where the idea is to paint something that is on the larger side. The model didn’t need to be large, but it had to represent something large. As I wrote back in early May, “Aircraft, daemon engines, tanks, giants, trains, cavewomen riding mammoths, ships, and…

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…
