Catachan Devil
The creepy crawly kicking off my Alien Flora & Fauna project is a Reaper Frost Wyrm that I mined from COMs Reaper Bones mountain. I very quickly painted it to represent a classic death world predator from the Rogue Trader 40K era. Continue reading

SQUEAL at giant mutant space rats!!!
Extra terrestrials and alien environments are a big draw for me in fiction and correspondingly so in my toy soldiers. I get a kick out of seeing my little guys beset by men-in-suit type aliens while wandering through slightly dodgy and unconvincing miniature sets that have a 1960s Star Trek feel to them. Creating my own geeky tiny film set like environment, complete with unlikely looking plants and bogus looking monsters is one of the main drivers in the hobby for me. Continue reading

The Thinktank
I have been having fun with ridiculous b-movie evil brain alien models recently, as documented here and here. Although I would happily add a few more fun miniatures to the force, I dont “need” to add any further for now. I did however want to give my Tenebrainians some sort of transport vehicle.

I opened up the Warlord Games newsletter last Friday and saw my own miniatures looking back.
This was a surprise to me. By and large Warlord covers gaming eras and genres beyond my personal gaming remit, so I tend to skim the newsletter rather than pore over it. But recently Warlord took over production of Mongooses Judge Dredd range and with pre-orders of the new rulebook going up they decided to put some photos of my figures from their forum up as a promo.
I got a kick out of it 🙂

Imperial Fleet Officers
L to R: Admiral Leopold Horatio III,
Commodore Thaddeus Borlase-Arlington
These two guys are made by Ramshackle games. I have painted them to function as some sort of fleet officers or officials in my skirmish games, but they will serve double duty as politicians or planetary governors as required. The current iteration of the Imperial Guard rules for 40K has an “Officer of the Fleet” option and they would serve well in that role too I think. Continue reading

“Cheeeeese!”
I painted some Ramshackle Tentacle Brain models recently. I enjoyed painting the figures a lot and I liked the uncompromisingly daft pulp sci-fi look that they had, so I added some more brain and tentacle related models to the group to turn them into a larger skirmish sized force. Continue reading

L to R: RT Assassin, the first Squat, RT Navigator
I painted these three figures as part of a recent trade with a LAF member. The new owner will be basing the figures himself to match Continue reading

Although I have a number of miniatures and related projects in various states at the moment, some of which will be posted here very soon, I dont have any photos this week. Mainly thats because I blew my load and over-enthusiastically posted all of my recent Ursa Miner stuff in rapid succession instead of spacing it out a bit. So its a hobby clip show today. Continue reading

No new miniatures, just some goofing around following on from an earlier conversation…
