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…

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…
Ape-X
After trying my hand at painting humans to mixed results I decided to practice on Ape X. This is large sized cyborg gorilla miniature from the original Bones Kickstarter that got worse than it deserved from me. I think that the finished job is functional but it’s a bit of a waste of a fun sculpt. I…
Painted Skeleton in Play
I finally used one of my painted miniatures in my ongoing Broken Covenant campaign this last Friday. It’s just a skeleton that I had stand in for a lich but I think it added a lot. I also fielded my newly painted treasure chest. It makes me excited for the day when the majority of…
Horace “Action” Johnson and The Black Mist
After finishing the Goblin and Rats, I decided to practice by painting actual humans. I selected Horace “Action” Johnson and The Black Mist. These were two more models that I got in the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter. I went with a Confederate take on The Black Mist and, while I learned a lot, I think…
A Goblin and some Rats
After finishing my mech a couple of months went by in which I did nothing. Then, knowing that I had a lot of work to do in order to have miniatures ready for my upcoming Science Fantasy campaign, I started up again by practicing on a Goblin and some Rats. All four miniatures were from the first Reaper Bones Kickstarter which…
