Here we are, Dear Readers, with another product unboxing! For those that remember, the Undead paint set was the last product unboxing that I did.

Die Cast Miniatures

A while back my friend happened to have been in a store and found the coolest thing. I had heard of it but I hadn’t actually gotten around to buying one. She found them on sale. Noticed that each one comes with some sort of iconic character or creature. The first one comes with theContinue reading “Die Cast Miniatures”

The best part of thisContinue reading “How-To DM: Converting Old Modules/Adventures”

Miniature Painting Spotlight: Acererak Update

When last we left off, our Acererak mini looked like this: We were quietly drying on a dry cloth. Now let’s assemble this mini like the Avengers!

It’s what I have on hand,Continue reading “Miniature Painting Spotlight: Acererak Update”

Where to Put Things

Dear Readers, I am not an organized person. I have to leave clutter around here and there, and my desk is barely usable. So when I decided to organize my miniature painting and modeling supplies, I want you to understand how excited my wife was.

Painting Update: Fighting Laziness and New Projects

So, here’s some of the projects I have worked on since the Space Marine, using the new techniques for drybrushing that I have learned. Behold! Manshoon!

IContinue reading “Painting Update: Fighting Laziness and New Projects”

Rime of the Frostmaiden: Of Duergar and a Dragon

One member stood guardContinue reading “Rime of the Frostmaiden: Of Duergar and a Dragon”
