Gencon Paint and Take

While I had a bit of free time between events I went to the Paint and Take and got this awesome gladiator miniature from Eldritch Foundry. They're a company similar to Hero Forge where you can design rpg characters and they 3d print them for you. The quality on this miniature was great and the miniatures they had in the Vendor Hall also looked pretty good. I only had enough time to get the base colors down but I'm very happy with how this model is looking and I need to finish painting her later.

I'm also kicking myself because they had these really good paints from the paint and take and I can't remember the brand name! That's gonna drive me nuts trying to find them.

Here is a Goblin mech miniature from Lancer that I have painted as a proof of concept before moving onto the other mechs.

This year's Orktober slate is a treat and really, really old.

Orc Girls on Roller Skates and a couple of '97 Shoota Boys. There's also a Gorkamorka-era Truck, not pictured.

Orc Girls on Roller Skates with Uzis was a set made by Dark Horse Miniatures back in 1985. These and several others tied into an RPG called "Excursion into the Bizarre," which I have zero experience with. Dark Horse is mostly remembered for producing the first-ever licensed product for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1984. By 1987, Dark Horse was sold to Goldring which also promptly went out of business.

Kitbashed this Everest together for Lancer a while ago, and having recently played through Titanfall 2 again, decided on the basic BT look after I couldn't decide how to paint him

Tried to mimic the official Everest design I've seen floating around, but I'm partial to the blocky style head so I stole that from a Battletech Highlander

Actually a lot is from Battletech, the legs are an Assassin and the Torso is a Black Knight. I love the Vladof guns from Borderlands so I found one of those for my assault rifle, and the arms are from the free mech set Filamentio released. I think that's most of it...

Oh shoutout to Death Ray Designs for their shark mouth nose art and industrial decals, they're great

This is The Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier Supplement (2018), which was produced with a near-identical cover as, well, a supplement to the first volume, The Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier. I don’t have the first one (but very much would like to, if you have a copy you don’t want!) but I assume it is sort of a history of Grenadier, one of the biggest producers of fantasy miniatures in the ’80s and ’90s.

This volume is largely dedicated to ephemera left out of the first book. There are catalog pages, many in pretty high resolution color (surprising, considering the low-end printing of the era), depicting many photos of miniatures and box covers. There’s an interview with Grenadier’s PR manager, Kim Eastland (probably better known as a prolific author for TSR). While at Grenadier in 1981 (at age 19!), Eastland founded The Grenadier Bulletin, a fantastic newsletter than ran intermittently through the ’80s and into the ’90s.

This is just pure catnip for me. I think, if push comes to shove, Grenadier produced the majority of my favorite miniatures. Most of the ones I bought back in the ’90s (and then left unpainted) were Grenadier. Most of the stuff I’ve painted (since I finally took up painting miniatures back in 2022) have been Grenadier. So a book of Grenadier eye candy? That’s going to hit home for me in a big way.

For real, Terrence Gunn, reprint this and the first volume!

Don’t think I’ve ever posted my deciduous tree mass production method. Just a poker chip, golf tee, hot glue, and moss.

I recently put together a 16 page fake video game strategy guide! You can get it for free on itch. It's a prototype for a much larger project.

All figurines and frames are were made by hand by me. Each one took at least a couple hours to put together. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

DinoFolk Character Tokens, Part 2 (pt 1 is here)

Another 10 Dinosaur-Folk tokens I made for the D&D game I’m playing in, to fill out the world that Albert Sauros, Noted Spiritualist, comes from. In this case a world of Victorian Dinosaurs. This set of character tokens was made with Midjourney v4.

In your game/head, they can be any fancy reptile-humanoids you like!  Use them for character portraits, game tokens, inspiration for a new PC (or OC) or tag yourself, as you like.

While these are all modified with cleanup and compositing, these are all free to use for anyone who wants to, thus I have not signed these pieces to make things easier.

Prompt format:

a <either dinosaur or specific species>-anthro <profession>, 18th century clothing (or other descriptor), character design, white background, fantasy character art, colored line art, in the style of 1st edition D&D, <artist/style references>

For style references I wound up mostly with a Tony Diterlizzi/Norman Rockwell mashup.

Speed Painting: Reaper Miniatures

While I was at Gencon I entered a bunch of Speed Painting events, here were the two miniatures I painted from Reaper Miniatures. A Dwarf Baker and an Elf Archer. The archer was my first model I painted over the convention and I bit off more than I could chew with the highlighting on the cape and everything else I wanted to do.

The Dwarf baker I'm much more happy with, it was a blast to paint and I plan to go back and touch up on the details and add more blood CHERRY!

...it's definitely a cherry pie he's made. I actually have a bunch of fantasy chefs, I'll probably paint them all while I'm at it.

I always space out on posting wips but I'm building a castle rn and it's large

The base is fairly simple- I built it out of pizza boxes and could probably make up a pattern for it easy if I ever wanted to build another one. Currently gluing individual craft foam bricks all over it.

I cut up a bunch of plastic packaging for the windows and drew the lines on with an oil based paint pen. (sticks the best) The stained glass is gloss gel (soft) mixed with a teeny tiny bit of paint.

I still wanna build some platforms for the inside and string lights all through the thing- there'll be torches on the front and the towers will light up 🔥

Gotta trust the process lol

Finished up my Ronin NPC for Lancer. These things are fun; shoot at it? It bounces back at you jedi style. Melee? It's built for that. It doesn't even have bad base stats, and the optional systems aren't hugely complicated, which is important for people like myself who can't remember things
