Magellanic Nomad

I ordered the Magellanic Nomad from Khurasan Miniatures immediately after reading a preview of the starship rules in Starfinder. Paizo will, eventually, get around to releasing space monster miniatures but even then I think this one will stand out. One great thing about this miniature’s design is that it isn’t pretentious; it feels natural, like a space…

Enforcer Peacekeeper, Freedom RAcast

First painted miniature of 2017. I’ve done a lot of conversion work so far this year but, for whatever reason, haven’t gotten to painting until now. I decided to start off with a late Christmas Present to one of my friends, converting and painting an Enforcer Peacekeeper to roughly resemble his RAcast from Phantasy Star Online. I added…

Plague 1st Generation

Most of the evils in my upcoming Science Fantasy game are beyond the players’ ability to confront directly. I want to have some manifestation or avatar for those evils that the players can be threatened by directly. When I saw Mantic Entertainment’s Plague 1st Gen miniature my thoughts went immediately to Phantasy Star’s Dark Force. In particular, the…

Sarah Blitzer, IMEF Sniper

One of my first thoughts when I sat down to paint this miniature was, “Somebody give that girl a sandwich.” Fortunately, I had just gotten in my first batch of Kneadatite and decided to #GiveThatMiniASandwich. Sarah Blitzer, IMEF Sniper is a miniature from the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter. I continued practicing the techniques shared in…

Enforcer with Large Biosword

I plan to use the Enforcers from Mantic Entertainment’s Deadzone wargame as miniatures for playable androids in my upcoming Science Fantasy game. I decided to make the next Enforcer a tribute to one of the mechanical characters from Phantasy Star Online. Can you guess which HUcast inspired this? Adding the biosword was the first major modification that I made to a…

Dual Pistol Wielding Enforcer

After doing more research than was probably necessary I decided to use the Enforcers from Mantic Entertainment’s Deadzone wargame as miniatures for playable androids in my upcoming Science Fantasy game.  Deadzone uses 30mm Heroic scale miniatures, which are larger than Reaper’s 25mm Heroic scale but not so much that it’s a dealbreaker…especially for android or alien races….

Four Skeletons

I decided to paint some skeletons for my next set of practice miniatures. I had read on several websites that monochromatic miniatures like skeletons respond very well to the DIP Method. These skeletons were, no surprise, part of the massive pile of miniatures I got through the original Bones Kickstarter. The skeleton closest to the basset hound was…
