As noted, I didn’t have much interest in Giants initially but I’ve come to appreciate them. I have a fun sitting planned for the players in my current Celestial Winter campaign that involves being guests of Giants so…I needed to get some more painted. I acquired the Storm Giant back during Reaper’s first Bones Kickstarter….

All about buying, customizing, and painting miniatures.
Bones Pathfinder Goblins
Back in the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter I acquired a collection of Pathfinder Goblins. These include the Goblin Warriors, Goblin Pyros, and Goblin Warchanter. I thought now was time to finally paint them as Paizo is adding Goblins as a core ancestry in Pathfinder Second Edition. I started with a dark red base coat followed…
Halfing Cook
I painted the Halfling Cook from the Third Reaper Bones Kickstarter. I’ve been meaning to get more of my villagers painted and got a few of them in the works. This lucky Halfling just happens to be the first finished. All in all – I’m quite satisfied with the miniature itself (especially that face!!!) but…
Kavorgh Orc Warboss
I’ve been experimenting with the “technique” outlined in Ogre Guard. Kavorgh is one result of that – definitely not as happy with him. Well, sometimes experiments fizzle. Like Starmane. The main problem is that I used orange as the basecoat and it really didn’t come together. Oh well. I think I manage to salvage a serviceable…
Pathfinder Second Edition Playtest – First Play Thoughts
I decided to separate out my playtest feedback from my Pathfinder with Pop post on Snippets. If Pop decides to look back on his past adventures I don’t want that to be bogged down with system feedback. In general, my initial impressions of Pathfinder Second Edition held true. I think this is a fantastic successor to…
Tiik Warriors
I picked up the Tiik Warriors from Miniature Giant awhile back. I planned to mod them with scifi weapons and use them in Starfinder but the Pathfinder Second Edition playtest has refocused me on fantasy for now! I tried mixing my own sandy paste for the base this time using – drumroll – sand and…
Ogre Guard
Back in June Dagger & Brush asked me what my technique was for painting the flesh of my Cave Trolls. I wasn’t sure how to answer at the time – it had been a rushed process of painting sloppy layer over sloppy layer to get those trolls ready for a Pathfinder sitting. I’ve mulling over…
Skorg Ironskull, Fire Giant King
My current Pathfinder campaign has entered Giant country and that’s spurred me to start painting my collection of Reaper Bones Giants. This time is Skorg Ironskull, Fire Giant King. As with Vanja Fire Giant Queen, I decided to go with more “human” colors to render this an all purpose Giant.
Starmane, Unicorn
I ordered the Starmane miniature for a “Unicorn” NPC in my current Celestial Winter campaign. No complaints about the sculpt – it’s fantastic – but I was disappointed by my paintjob this time around. I like how the mane turned out but was let down by the body. I really wanted to capture a star-field/nebula…
Vanja Fire Giant Queen
I didn’t have much interest in Giants until I featured them as an extinct legendary race in the backstory for my Heretic’s Creed campaign. This inspired a growing fascination with the “big people” that’s lead to me including them in more and more prominent roles in campaigns. Vanja the Fire Giant Queen is one of…
