Ursa Miner Cyber Slayer

Ursa Miner Cyber Slayer

Ostensibly an addition to my Sensei crew for some upcoming games, this lovely Bob Olley sculpt will end in in a number of other games too I suspect.  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

I decided to take a photo of the Ursa Miners project as it stands to date.  Its currently thirty-one miniatures strong Continue reading

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

Ursa Miner Bruins DreadBall Forgefather Team

I painted up a medium sized force of space dwarfs last year and I named them the “Ursa Miners“.  With a Forgefather team to paint for Dreadball I decided to use more or less the same colour scheme simply because it was easier than coming up with another scheme from scratch.  I named the team the “Ursa Miner Bruins” to differentiate the sportsdwarfs from the military types.
