The only current Games Workshop game I am actually interested in is Blood Bowl. I have decided to paint up an Underworld team. This 2nd edition Skaven thrower is the lynchpin in such a team – so he was up first. I have kept the colour scheme simple – because […]

I have been fiddling round with different ways to photograph my minis. I decided to take photos of two of my peasants on a piece of black perspex. I quite like the effect. Minis are available from Rapier miniatures – although the burning torch is a bit longer in this […]
19mm to his eyes. I sculpted this little gnome with two hand options to be used as either a wizard or an alchemist. He could also easily be modified by adding a flag end to his wand to make a fantasy football coach/referee? or by filing down the bottom of […]
I recently ran a short halloween rpg game for my son and his friend (both 8). Coming up with a story designed to appeal to children wasn’t difficult… but I wasn’t sure what rules to use. Anything too complicated and they’d quickly lose interest. But, I needed some rules that […]

These rules are not meant to be a detailed guide on how to paint, but rather a guide to the basics of what you should and shouldn’t be doing. It is totally subjective and a work-in-progress. 1) Prepare your miniature! What good is the world’s best paint job when the […]
