Bag of Spiders

Just released by Mortal Arrow Miniatures a bag full of my lil spiders. Soon enough I will get a few of them for myself so that I will never run out of arachnids ever again.

Bags of Beetles

This week Mortal Arrow Miniatures released loads of bugs that I've done last year.
Quite nice to see a bag full of beetles. Soon enough I will get my gribbly hands on some of these! Yes!

Rhino Beetle Official colours

Some months ago the Rhino beetle was released by Mortal Arrow Miniatures and I never posted here the official paint job done by Daniel Rodriguez from Field Factory. 

Again another wonderful brush work with some really darkish colours. Quite a scary beetle, loved it.

Citadel Skulls review.

Not many times I buy miniatures on an impulse, just because I have so many already that it becomes hard to justify to myself the need for more. So the majority of my purchases are planned and have a clear aim to close the gap between finished and unfinished collections.
While on a visit to my local hobby store I caved in to an impulse buy and got me some Skulls…340 of them!
The Citadel skull kit is packed with all kinds of plastic skulls and even if most of the times the decoration of skulls on citadel miniatures is a topic for mock I have to confess that these come quite handy for bases and terrain.

There are other options on the market but none of them comes close in cheer diversity and the fact that these are plastic makes them the perfect companion for conversions. All in all Im happy with these and already have included them on some conversions.

Spaceship deck bases

First batch of bases ready to take some minis.
I got carried away with the volumes but I have not painted in a long time so I took the time to enjoy and get back into it.

Picked some warm colours so that they have a good contrast with the grey blue miniatures I have in mind. Feels good to paint some things again!

Scratch-built Spaceship deck bases

New year, new army is pretty much the curse of any tabletop gamer or miniature collector.
Got some new projects to develop this year and started planing and preparing some bases to go with them.
The most difficult part of basing is figuring out the theme that you want to go with and stick to it. After much back and forth I went with Spaceship deck bases in warm colours to contrast with the minis.

Used loads of bits and kits that I had on my bits box and some greenstuff and did these.

Ready to paint.

The bases are pretty much as flat as they can get so that I can stick any figure with little hassle. I will build the volumes with colour gradients.

First batch done.

Its been a while since I did things just for myself but this year one of the main goals is to balance a bit better the commission work vs hobby work. 

Wish me luck

Tyranid Biodiversity Tau Hybrid

Around March 2006 I was sculpting some alien figures for my own private collection. More than a decade later I would not imagine that this specific sculpt would still actually be a point of interest big enough to have it spin cast and reproduced in metal for some friends. I do sometimes wonder the longevity of the pieces I have done so long ago.

Now with so many I will repose and convert some to finally have a unit of 5 Tau Genestealer hybrids.
