This is a short post, so be advised. I finished Gundarr! Here he is in all his glory: All I had to do is get his base done at this point. Of note, I used Agrax Earthshade by Citadel as my shader. Now to the base and spirit warrior: And that’s it! Join me nextContinue reading “Finished Gundarr the Barbarian!”

Painting Update: Gundarr the Barbarian (but only sort of…)
Dear Readers, welcome to yet another Painting Update! Here is the barbarian I’ve been working on. I started with Rigid Leather (from one of the D&D Paint sets by Army Painter; it’s a unique color not found in the standard Army Painter line) on the boots. Then I went and gave his skin a secondContinue reading “Painting Update: Gundarr the Barbarian (but only sort of…)”
Quick Painting Update: Fortress-class Dropship
Here we are with another painting update! Now that I am done with the priming, it’s now time to throw on some paint! As you’ll soon see, I have come across a problem… You can see brush strokes. I mean, this is generally solved in one of two ways: 1) multiple coats, or 2) sprayContinue reading “Quick Painting Update: Fortress-class Dropship”
Painting Update: Dropship and Elven Wizard
I know I provided a painting update earlier in the week, but I’ve gotten some progress done on both the Dropship and the wizard. So buckle up for a short painting update! So far, I’ve gotten the Dropship primed! As you can see, there are two kinds of primer on the pieces. Basically, I couldn’tContinue reading “Painting Update: Dropship and Elven Wizard”
Battletech Miniatures: Fortress-class Dropship
Dear Readers, as it’s a work in progress, and you’ll see why, this is, by necessity, a short post. Welcome back! Today we look at my new Fortress-class Dropship and see about putting it together.

Painting Update: Vulture and Elf Wizard
Dear Readers, just wanted to give you a quick painting update to let you know what projects I’m working on. First up is the Elf Wizard. This miniature is one I’m working on for one of my youth players at adventurers league. I always like painting new players’ first miniature.

Painting Update: Some More Mech Action
Dear Readers, it’s been an extremely busy week, but I did get some painting done. Here’s some pictures of what I have gotten accomplished: Yes, the Vulture is still a work in progress, but he’s a print and I had to re-glue on one arm.

Late Post
Dear Readers, as you may well have guessed, Battletech has been a big part of my hobby lately. Like, a big part. In any case, I browse and occasionally post in the r/battletech subreddit. During a particular conversation between myself and another Redditor, whom I won’t name, he expressed willingness to trade his Legendary MAD-3RContinue reading “Late Post”
Quick Paining Update: I GOT TO PAINT!!
Dear Readers, this won’t be a “normal” painting update, as I did not take incremental pictures of this guy. I also know that I promised a different post today, but after getting to paint something after almost 2 weeks, I couldn’t help myself and wanted to share, shunting the other post to tomorrow. I mean,Continue reading “Quick Paining Update: I GOT TO PAINT!!”
Battletech: My Obsession Continues
Dear Readers, I think I might have a problem. An addiction if you will. You see, when Catalyst Game Labs decided to re-release the Battletech game with affordable plastic miniatures and put them out on the market, the Battletech community went wild. You have to understand, the only way to get Miniatures in the pastContinue reading “Battletech: My Obsession Continues”
Painting Update: Female Goliath Barbarian
Dear Readers, I’ve made some good progress on this miniature this week. Here’s how she looks: I ended up using Wraith Black for her hair, which didn’t turn out quite as dark as I had hoped. I will likely do a dark wash over the hair to darken it up a little. I used whiteContinue reading “Painting Update: Female Goliath Barbarian”
Major Painting Update: So Much Stuff…

Here is what the Black Knight looks like finished (minus the dull coat finish):Continue reading “Major Painting Update: So Much Stuff…”
Let’s Talk Battletech: My (current) Miniature Painting Obsession
Dear Readers, I have developed, as the title suggests, an obsession with painting my new pewter Battletech miniatures. Like, I have almost totally abandoned my Dungeons & Dragons miniatures in favor of painting my Battletech ones. And I couldn’t be more excited about it. As my main shipment of Battletech miniatures should be on theContinue reading “Let’s Talk Battletech: My (current) Miniature Painting Obsession”

Let’s Talk Battletech: Miniatures
Well, Dear Readers, I finally got some more Battletech stuff. Unfortunately, I still haven’t gotten my “big” order from the Kickstarter.

So I am going to share a couple of things with you all today, the repairContinue reading “Let’s Talk Battletech: Miniatures”
At Last…
At long last, my house is in order. Mostly. But I was able to get my new painting station set up (for the most part; you see a trend?), and got a little bit of painting done. Unfortunately, this afternoon, I ended up having to drive to my local VA hospital for an appointment thatContinue reading “At Last…”

Late Post
So everything that has gone wrong has gone wrong, Dear Readers. Originally, I was planning on doing a How-To post on painting miniatures. Then I realized that I still had a commission that I was behind in delivering. You know the one. That Goliath Barbarian. The problem is, I had started to take pictures andContinue reading “Late Post”
