This is the miniature for one of the player characters in my Celestial Winter campaign. He’s a gnome mystic who lives on the outskirts of Haven and makes a living practicing herbalism. The player requested functional brown as the primary color and it ended up being a lot more dapper than I intended. Also, dark…

Pathfinder Series Graveknight
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…
Aviriel Tellerion, Female Elf
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…
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…
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…
Rosie, Chronotechnician
Rosie the Chronotechnician was another miniature from original Reaper Bones Kickstarter. This one wasn’t as emaciated as Sarah Blizter but still fell into #GiveThatMiniASandwich territory.
Relic Knight Sophia Drake with Female Dress Cap Head
On Black Friday a year ago I was excited to snatch up the Relic Knight Sophia Drake model at a steep discount! Sadly, the quality of the miniature really let me down… The plastic was unyielding and misfit. The weapon and head were smashed. I had similar disappointment with the Sedition Wars miniatures which were…
Reaper Gray Aliens
Well, it’s been awhile. To be honest I got far more into Fire Emblem Heroes than I anticipated but that was largely a “time of life” thing. I just had my second child and my first is only three – so it was hard to find time for intensive hobbies there for awhile. But things…
Corps Officer Heavy Rangers Squad Commander with Alien Head, Take Two
This is the first miniature that I’ve finished since January. I started work on several but, in general, I’ve been distracted. First by Fire Emblem, then The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, then Sentinels of the Multiverse, and finally in wrapping up my Broken Covenant Pathfinder campaign. So back in November, I picked up two packs…
