I plan to use the Enforcers from Mantic Entertainment’s Deadzone wargame as miniatures for playable androids in my upcoming Science Fantasy game. My first Enforcer paint job was on the conservative side so, with some consultation from my wife on the coloring, I decided to be slightly more adventurous with my second Enforcer. I did not use a primer…

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….
Treasure Pile and Altar of Evil
There’s not much to say about the Treasure Pile and Altar of Evil. They were both from the original Bones Kickstarter and were straightforward to paint. I almost tried a wash on the Altar of Evil but decided to leave it to the DIP Method. It may not seem like much but having these two very commonly used pieces in color…
Ridley Darkedge
I have been using the Ridley Darkedge miniature from Reaper’s Dark Heaven Legends line for a nonplayer character of some significance in my current Broken Covenant campaign and I got impatient to paint it for an upcoming scene. It’s a metal miniature so it had to be primed first but the spray on primer again came out clumpy and uneven. This is when…
Khurasan Stikks, First Batch
A goal for my upcoming Science Fantasy game is to have a decent array of custom playable races…easier said than done with miniatures unless the custom races amount to space elves, space goblins, and so on. I think insectoids are interesting but it was challenging to find a supply of quality insectoid miniatures at a…
Aina, Female Valkyrie
Aren’t all Valkyrie female? Well, in any case, we’ve taken to calling this Aina the Opera Singer. I think she’d make a fun miniature for a Bard or Skald. After the simple task of painting those four skeletons I wanted to take on something more challenging as my next round of practice and decided to paint…
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…
Barnabus Frost and Almaran the Gold
After the skimping out by painting the Battleguard and Stone Golems I wanted to practice painting some miniatures that had a lot of details. I decided to go with Barnabus Frost and Almaran the Gold from the original Bones Kickstarter. I can’t say that I was pleased with how either turned out. For both miniatures I was…
Battleguard and Stone Golems
I don’t know that I can really count the Battleguard Golem and Stone Golem from the original Bones Kickstarter as practice. Both Golems were very straightforward to paint with only the Battleguard Golem having any detailing at all. It’s a testament to the Stone Golem sculpt that I could just give it a quick couple of coats and…
Khael Stonekindle
Khael Stonekindle was another miniature from the original Bones Kickstarter that I decided to practice on. I was really pleased with how this turned out but I have a few regrets. First I wish that I had added eyes. I tried to add them a few times, kept on bungling them, and then was so happy with how the rest…
