Getting your first paints – Part 1
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 A few months ago, I started routinely stalking r/minipainting and one thing I noticed come up quite a bit is \”I\’m just getting started, what paints should I get?\”. Often this will get bundled up in with other more general questions about getting started but I saw…

KublaCon Master Class Bronze
Ok so the title is a bit of a spoiler here but I entered my Librarian model into KublaCon\’s Painting competition. Despite it being my first real painting competition, for some reason I decided to put it up for the Master Class.

So when I start typing things on Facebook… bad things happen. This time it turns out I get myself embroiled in a duel… with a couple of the guys at my local FLGS… one of whom is an accomplished tournament painter (his entry into this year\’s crystal brush) more of his work can be found…

More Monster Block Dice!
I have a love affair with the Monster Block Dice figures that Fanath put out. I bought a full set and it wasn\’t long before I knew I needed extras to give me enough for two teams to have as many as they\’d need. By the end of 2016 I\’d painted up six of the…

Introducing the Miragliano Union!
Well it took long enough… After several months, I have finally finished the Miragliano Union. They made their debut on the field of battle last night, stalling an Orc team to a 1-1 draw and training my Thrower to Hail Mary Pass early in the season. Not the most tactically sound skill but I love…

Rack\'em, Stack\'em
So the other day I was tempted into picking up a shiny new minis case. I really don\’t NEED more…. but at the same time – there is no such thing as too much storage. This particular case is a monster, 6 layers of 80 minis – a total of 480 figures stored in protective…

Ronin on the loose!
Test of Honour has really grabbed my attention and enthusiasm recently. I still haven\’t gotten a game in, but it has caused me to get back to painting the mountain of plastic Ashigaru and Samurai I had. As I am the only person I know with the game, I am trying to paint two factions…
