Let there be LEDs!

 Printed out a few of the LED augmented furniture from moonshine miniatures.  Love to dress up the dungeon with these things they look so amazing!



Just so much shiny fun to be had with thsese!  They print up great and paint up super fast too.


Had to do some fun action photos too!



Hard to say no to doing more of these They have a new set of sci fi ones coming out too so go check it out!

Carverns and Cave Beasts

 fdas

Proving as usual my santiy is a lost cause I've finished up another expansion for Warhammer Quest this time focusing on caves and caverns.  This fleshes out both the Orcs and the Beastmen bestiary to its final


Not my favorite wyvern sculpt but I do have a soft spot for giant orcs with tiny shields.

 
Speaking of for the Orc Big Un's I decided to make one giant orc that has the large monster rule instead of just slightly beefier orcs.


Squigs are magical and no one can convince me other wise.  Love me some squigs.


These snotlings I found as fre STL files and frankly they look amazing!


Same thing for the orc boar riders though I had a print failure on every single one causing me to fix them through the bits box instead of wasting resin.


I used to use these as Hobglin wolf riders in my chaos dwarf army now they've found new life!


For the beastmen I wanted the various gods represented more so themed minotaurs and beastmen were all added in.


I may be the only one who didn't like this tzeentch sculpt but he still turned out ok.  I don't like when they sculpt on tatoos which seems to be the sigmar way.


For slaanesh I got this awesome STL of a murder unicorn from a fellow questor!


Another free 3d model gives me a khrone-a-taur with bloody hands to boot.


The Tzaangors are awesome sculpts but assembly is a major pain, do not buy those boxes!


For the Khorne-gors I went with the old and much maligned furry bloodletters.  They honestly fit better than the real khorne gors in my oppions.


Combining some slaanesh parts with the mantic succubus models gets me the slaangors!


And one big happy family!  Last year I begun the insane project of basing all the WHQ minis and it has finally come to its conclusion.  I'll be posting more pics of the finished hoard of minis over time its a ton of bases and they really make things look better even on those old paint jobs!

Below Zero Scare

 Still painting way ahead of my ability to get photos done!  This project got side tracked though when the Cthulhu Wars kick starter came in.  The Frozen horror showed up long ago to make sure I didn't have all my Heroquest painted and I got started right away but then took a year long break from it for madness!

This (and The Ogre Hoard) were my most anticipated remakes and I still hope to play through them some day with my child (he's not quite reeady yet!).



Between this and the ogre's I've been getting really streamlined on my 'cold dudes' painting.


This stalky big boy was a great sculpt!  They really knocked it out of the park.  My only criticism is that it's the only heroquest mini with a fully sculpted base so its a little out of place.


I want to stick to the artwork in the game but these mercenaries have a really boring paint scheme.  Really wanted to add some neon pink and fun colors!


That's the whole frozen horror!  Got a ton of stuff left to paint up though I have a start on the next expansion already painting some furniture:

Finished Cthulhu Wars, Again!

 Still slowly working on rebasing all of Warhammerquest.  In the meantime I hurt my wallet and got this amazing model for Cthulhu Wars, Hastur the Risen One!

Dork Elves in the Dungeon!

 Nope that's not a typo in the title not at all.  Finished up painting all the new dark elves for warhammer quest mini expansion.  I've been working on rebasing all of WHQ as well this is the first group to get completely finished and what a difference a base makes!



The first group photo is just the new dark elves added to our WHQ mini expansion.


And here's all the possible dark elf encounters in one!


These were all 3d printed though I had a few wash issues that made things less than stellar.  


Sisters of Slaughter are a real nightmare to try and rank up!


The melusai are really nice models and (barely) fit on 25 mm bases!


I've been collecting for WHQ for 13+ years now so some of my paint jobs are looking pretty old and shabby.  Adding a shiny new base though really helps these assassins stand out a little.


I always loved these old models and am using them for my black guard of nagaroth.


Another old paint job, this time an ebay rescue to boot!


Believe it or not the paint scheme for my dark elves came from a really funky shoe I saw.  Its a fun scheme to paint for sure especial on this not so dark pegasus.



I don't remember these executioners having a very long print run.  Probably for the best as the blades being a seperate part on most of the models makes them super fragile.


I have the blood wrack shirne with a detachable melusai so that she can be used as an individual encounter or moutned on the shirne.



Even have the older metal corsairs to use for quest.


I remember way back in the day having a few of hte metal cold one riders, these plastic ones are a big improvement on those tiny dinos.


Grabbing the statue off the cauldron of blood gives me a nice avatar of Khaine


And here's a few more shots of the blood wrack shrine without its rider.



Here's the ancient hydra, my box was missing a head and well oop by the time I opened it so I forced a dragon head onto it.  Looks kinda silly but I dig it.


The kharibdyss is one of my favorite models from the new dark elf range lots of fun detail.


Had a dragon lying around and thought why not add an entry where a dark elf rides it?



These shades needed a repaint after another ebay rescue.


Still enjoy how these witch elves turned out.
