Two days ago I discovered that today was the 30th anniversary of the original Phantasy Star. In celebration, I impulsively decided to paint a miniature of the heroine of the original game – Alisa Landale. Hmm… I'll have to do another #PhantasyStar inspired mini in honor of the anniversary…but what… Don't have the bits I…

Octilon Star-ships
I’m come to the conclusion that Studio Bergstrom is the single best source of inexpensive starship miniatures online. Most of their miniatures are clearly inspired by popular media but they have a wide range of diversity and – barring iconics like a Federation Starship or the Millennium Falcon – it’s not too hard to make…
Starfinder Second Dry Run
Our last Starfinder Dry Run went great until the group stole a frigate and we slammed straight into a steep learning curve. I really like that Paizo didn’t take the cheap route of making starship combat a scaled up version of the on foot segments but…we really weren’t prepared for it. That’s why round two…
Plague Aberration
As demonstrated by my take on Plague 1st Generation, I am a big “phan” of the original Phantasy Star video games that appeared on the Sega Master and Sega Genesis systems. I’ve had the Plague Aberration miniature from Mantic Games on hand since Black Friday 2016 and finally decided to do something with it as…
FED Falcon Starfighter
The FED Falcon Starfighter from Studio Bergstrom is the smallest miniature that I’ve painted to date. It’s a classic single pilot spacecraft that, at least for me, evokes the X-Wing from Star Wars and the Arwing from Star Fox. The 3D model on the website has a Trekkie vibe to it and it’s easy to…
Hive Devastator
In my search for budget friendly spacecraft miniatures I came across Studio Bergstrom. They have a wide variety of spacecraft miniatures – some clearly inspired by popular franchises and others original creations. One of the miniatures I ordered from them was the Hive Devastator which, of course, I thought would be a great starship for…
Seth Fighter
I wanted to support smaller spacecraft in my Starfinder campaign and, luckily, Studio Bergstrom has a great selection of them at very reasonable prices. The Seth Fighter is a very tiny miniature but variety is the spice of life… Personally, I’d find it strange to run Starfinder without ships of this scale. You get an…
Lt. Thoran
As a father of two daughters, I look forward to the day when they’ll play Pathfinder, Starfinder, and other TTRPGs with me… But, unfortunately, the vast majority of female miniatures are ones that I’d be ashamed to offer to my daughters. This is why I love Hasslefree Miniatures. They have their titillating miniatures like most other…
Garn Warrior
I plan to use the Garn Warriors from Khurasan Miniatures as Vesk in the Starfinder. I didn’t completely assemble this one – there’s suppose to be a hose running from the ammo container on it’s belt to the weapon – but I’m still pleased with how this test model turned out. I’ll be more adventurous with…
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…
