The Pathfinder Series Graveknight from the Reaper Bones II Kickstarter is a classic BBEG miniature, in my opinion. There’s something almost silly about the sculpt which, in my opinion, makes it all the more unnerving. This character isn’t wearing a utilitarian outfit, there’s a clear aesthetic but it’s one that’s out of tune with society. I…

Trista, Female Warrior
I had fun converting the Aviriel Tellerion miniature to resemble Alisa Landale from Phantasy Star so, on a whim, I started making another video game inspired conversion. I ran with another classic Sega roleplaying game heroine, Mae the Centaur Knight from Shining Force. Last year, I had ordered four dozen Mini Plastic Horse Figures from Amazon for my daughter…
Photo Box
I don’t have a dedicated hobby space in my home. I keep most of my painting supplies in an old network switch box and my miniatures are secured in various plastic storage tubs. As such, I don’t have a great set-up for taking photos of the completed miniatures (doesn’t help that I just use my…
Urian, Spartan Warrior
I decided to challenge myself by entering Michael Mordor‘s monthly Reaper miniature painting contest for January. It’s great motivation to try new things rather than settle into what’s comfortable. Just settled on a @reapermini for @Goblins_Mordor's January #mordorpaint competition. Now I just have to paint it! Taking part more to challenge myself to improve than from…
Kasatha Technomancer
I originally intended for the Kasatha Technomancer to be my final miniature of 2017 but, true to form for the year, I ended up being on call with the kids and didn’t get enough painting time to finish it. So, instead, it’s my first completed miniature of 2018! Technically, this is the second miniature from Shapeways…
0 Hr Crucible Spacestation
For Christmas I was given several 0-hr miniatures for use in the starship segments of Starfinder. I think they were purchased from Miniature Market (one of my favorite places to buy miniatures – alongside Miniature Giant and eBay) in case you’re interested in getting some for yourself. On a cool note 0-hr has detailed floorplans…
Return of the Jedi may be the Star Wars film we need right now
Be forewarned – this post is going off topic to talk a bit about Star Wars and society. Lately, I’ve seen quite a bit of commentary on how The Last Jedi is the Star Wars film that society needs right now and that it delivers an crucial message. Here are a couple of examples (out…
Hero Forge Construct Brawler
Two years ago I ordered a custom miniature from Hero Forge for one of the players in my Broken Covenant campaign. I went with the strong white plastic (not sure it’s even available as a material anymore) and, despite that, it ended up being the most expensive miniature in that scale that I’ve ever purchased. Pricing…
Mermaid Warrior
Back in 2015, I went looking for a Mermaid miniature for my wife to use in the Broken Covenant campaign. Um. Yeah. It was quite challenging to find a clothed Mermaid miniature…much less one that looked cool… Fortunately Dark Sword Miniatures came to the rescue with their excellent Mermaid Warrior! This was a great sculpt to paint,…
Jynx
Another from Hasslefree Miniatures, Jynx is a fun sculpt that could easily fit in as a spellcaster in a modern fantasy setting or as a metahuman in a superhero setting. I’m looking forward to seeing her used as an exciting character in Starfinder. I experimented with the base this time around – kneadatite in rough waves…
