Raggy Paints

I am super excited to be able to say I completed my goal of averaging a mini/day in 2018! It\’s been a fairly absorbing task and has left me largely unable to paint for competitions, it has however hammered into the mountain of unpainted minis (particularly for boardgames).So to keep moving forward, I have a…

Over the last couple of years, I have gotten much more serious about painting. This blog really charts my progress and some of the revelations I\’ve had along the way. much of my focus has been around technique and tools (helloooo Airbrush!).

I have been sitting on a set of rules for a \’Worms\’ style wargame for years now… more than a decade in fact now I think about it… oh gods I\’m old… sigh. Anyway… in all…

Sooo 2018, it\’s all about a mini/day… and I\’m falling behind… my solution? Spend 4 days painting a mini for a contest… I have problems with my decision making. I am considering seeking help. Stay Tuned on how that turns out. Buuuut back to the topic at hand. After hearing Suzanne of The Dice Tower…

So Ahriman… the last of the Burning of Prospero box to get painted up. I have been working on him for a while. I had a very clear idea in my mind to paint him up in a \’Candy Apple Red\’ colour with the kind of glossy metallic finish. It was a bit of an…
