So – I finally got some of my peasants back in metal. This guy is my second sculpt ever – and my first human. He isn’t a happy bunny…. life as a peasant is obviously hard. I painted him in washed-out colours like I would for a dark ages miniatures. […]
Painting
When I sit down to sculpt or paint I am often joined by my seven-year-old son. Here is a slug monster that he sculpted and painted. Yes, I am a very proud dad! This slug will be terrorising some villagers in a game soon! Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes […]
As my son is slowly becoming interested in dungeon crawling and skirmish games – I thought it was time to paint up some more ‘minions’. Here is a lovely old goblin from citadel miniatures. I have done the base in a style that is hopefully suitable for outside settings and […]
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 […]
And now for something a little different… Here is a miniature that would be classed as ‘modern’. She is by Reaper Miniatures [Astrid Berger, Female Cold War Spy (REA50148)]. She was a pleasure to paint – I love painting black! The cobble stones on the base were added/sculpted by me. […]

The Red Mage doesn’t live in the territory of Highstone. He is one of those called outsiders or fragmen… Not only the impoverished, outcast, desperate and mad find their way into the endless forest – magic seems intenser the deeper into it you go, and therefore those interested in sorcerous […]
The threats of the forest areas of the world in which Highstone is situated are in many ways unlimited. Myths, fairy tales, monsters, nightmares… they all dwell there. From the benign to the outright hostile, from harmless sprites to the great powers whose names are whispered on dark nights… Baba […]
Having got back my first miniature in metal (the little doggy from my previous post – available here) I thought I’d quickly break out my paints and add him to my miniatures display cabinet. So… without further ado…. Mr Snuffles is one of the ‘community dogs’ in Highstone and its […]
Rayia is not orginally from Highstone. Rumor has it that she was an acolyte of a cult who fled her temple, far to the south-east of Highstone, after it was overrun by an incursion from the surrounding deep forests. After many adventures, she finally reached Highstone and realised that it offered her […]
