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

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

L to R: RT Assassin, the first Squat, RT Navigator

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

Its been about a year since the last Ursa Miner update, so I am glad that the next installment of Space Dwarf is a classic old Rogue Trader era figure that I have wanted to paint since 1989 Continue reading

I painted this beautifully sculpted model so that she could give Inquisitor Verhoeven and my other 40k skirmish types some close range fire support, but the model is suitable for use in a variety of games and settings. Continue reading

Avian Squad
Every so often I see some miniatures and I decide that I have to have them. That happened when I saw these goofy guys a month or so ago. Continue reading

Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Verhoeven
This retro looking chap is a late eighties/early nineties GW inquisitor miniature that I picked up on Ebay a while back. I painted the figure for use in skirmish games set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (as discussed a little here). Continue reading
