The Dragon and the George
Around Christmas 2025 I did a bit more work on my 1987 boxed dragons collection, having previously only painted the Green Dragon (almost a decade ago). This is one of my all-time favourite model ranges – I remember seeing them on the shelves of… Continue Reading “The Dragon and the George”
For Those We Cherish
A lot has changed in that last 18 months. I started a new job, put my PhD on hold, sold the Moleslayer domain name, started painting a bit more regularly, and took a couple more classes with a local blacksmith (Alex Sowden at Hammer… Continue Reading “For Those We Cherish”
Officio Assassinorum
Every miniature painter has a pile of shame (or more optimistically, a pile of opportunity). Mine probably isn’t any worse than anybody else’s – I don’t buy a lot of boxed sets, because I know I’m a slow painter and I don’t need specific… Continue Reading “Officio Assassinorum”
Galactic Relief Imperial Expeditionary Force (G.R.I.E.F.)
I’ve not been active on this blog for a while (18 months). There’s been a lot going on – family crises, renovating my new house, organisational restructure at work, and slow progress on my PhD. I’ve tried over the last few months to make… Continue Reading “Galactic Relief Imperial Expeditionary Force (G.R.I.E.F.)”
Jetbike Jackal
A short post this week – just one miniature which I finished at the very end of 2022 (but which had been half-painted on my hobby table for a few months before that). It’s another reinforcement for my genestealer cult, Tertii Imperatoris Cultus, and… Continue Reading “Jetbike Jackal”
Hocus Locus
I’ve had a few difficult months – successive family emergencies, jury service, a new job, and (touch wood) soon I’ll be moving house. So there hasn’t been much hobby time recently, and the thought of sitting down and writing has filled me with existential… Continue Reading “Hocus Locus”
Forest Guardian
After a few days of uncharacteristically consistent posting I find myself coming more-or-less back onto the main topic of this blog: collecting and painting old lead fantasy miniatures. Today’s offering is something I’d been keen to do for a long time; one of Games… Continue Reading “Forest Guardian”
Necron-omicon
“Beyond life there are” – his face grew ashen with terror -“things that I cannot distinguish. They move slowly through angles. They have no bodies, and they move slowly through outrageous angles…God, they are breaking through! They are breaking through! “ Frank Belknap Long, The… Continue Reading “Necron-omicon”
New Members in the Cult
I’m on something of a roll painting genestealers (and their proxies) for the Cult of the Third Party Emperor. I think the last two posts were a bit too photo-heavy, so here’s a third with just a few new (and old) miniatures from the… Continue Reading “New Members in the Cult”
Modelling Workshop
I’ve been away for a long while. Between working overseas, polishing off my master’s degree, and COVID-19 I’ve not had much time for creativity, other than a couple of posts to mop up the last miniatures I painted in mid-2018 and a few drawings… Continue Reading “Modelling Workshop”
