Halfling Spearmen from ArcWorlde - Showcase
A little while back, I started up my second randomly generated project - Halfling Spearmen from Warploque Miniatures that I picked up way back in their first Kickstarter. I had intended to do various progress blogs about them, like Part 1, available here, but in the month since posting that update, I've been distracted by painting up Batman and a cop and unboxing Fallen Frontiers and a Pin Up cat lady. So instead of a Part 2, I have 4 finished Halfling Spearmen!
Last of the Immortals Show case
This little immortal is finished and has been a nice way to get over a little hump I have been having come and see how it turned out.
Sir Godric from Heresy Miniatures - A Closer Look
In this weeks A Closer Look, we open up Sir Godric, a Paladin from Heresy Miniatures.
A New Noob and Summer Noob Schedule
Hi folks!
As some of you might have noticed yesterday, we have a new Noob on board - Necropocalypse - you can find out more about him on his page here.
With Necropocalypse on board, we now number 5 current Noobs so I thought I'd give a quick run down of our schedule as we head into summer.
An Introduction from the new guy!
Hello!
My name is Dan, and I recently joined the team.
I have been a hobbyist (old GW term!) for nigh on 30 years. In that time I've collected everything from Space Marines, to Elves, Daemons and modern-era models. Like everyone else, my painting right at the start wasn't anything spectacular. I never primed a model (at 11 years old you have neither the funds or the know-how) and my paint was always really thick. But at that age it was the most awesome paint job ever!

Gotham Police Officer - Ready for The Table
Two models finished in two weeks? Some might call it madness, others might call it momentum. Either way, a second model on and off my desk inside a couple of sessions and it's Fat Cop from BMG.
Project Fishermen: Part 5
Not as much progress as I might have liked this week, but I still finished something, let's take a look!
Meagan The Buccaneer from Bombshell Babes - A Closer Look
In today's Closer Look, I'm moving away from gaming minis. Instead, we have Meagan The Buccaneer, from the Babes range from Bombshell Miniatures. Here she is, painted up by Meg Maples:
Fallen Frontiers Kickstarter from Scale Games Unboxing - Ares vs Sayx
Welcome to our unboxing of Fallen Frontiers from Scale Games. I've been waiting on this one for a while as it was a Kickstarter, but it's finally here and it's so pretty! In my pledge I went for a game box containing Ares and Sayx, with additional combat forces for both factions.
A warning - this post is really image heavy. Like, 250 images image heavy.
Animated Series Batman - Showcase
In a move as stealthy as The Bat himself, I snuck Batman from The Animated Series onto my desk in between my halflings and amazingly had him finished in only a couple of sessions.
Project Fishermen : Part 4 and a sneaky Space Marine!
Project Fishermen continues but this week something else also crept in..
The Killing Joke Joker - A Closer Look
For our second Closer Look, I've gone for Knight Models' The Killing Joke Joker - arguably the most classic iteration of the Joker to be turned into a model so far by Knight.
Hailey Smith: Catsuit from Wonderlands Project Unboxing
I like my pin up minis (as shown from previous unboxings I've done - Star Vixen, The Perfect Present and Honey Valentine from Kabuki, The Steampunk Cowgirl from Ax Faction), so I picked up a copy of Hailey Smith: Catsuit, the first mini in Wonderlands Project's Cosplay Lvl 42 series.
Norse Orc Hero Show case.
This Little guy Has been so fun to paint I hope you all enjoy what I have done.
Fillet from Guild Ball - A Closer Look
Welcome to a new style of post from us here at Noobs and their Paintbrush. We like our unboxings here, but sometimes, while the minis are awesome, they just don't quite justify a full, in depth unboxing. With that in mind, you might start to see posts like this one popping up occasionally - just a collection of shots of miniatures we particularly like, straight out the packaging. A closer look, if you will ;)
First up is Fillet, the new Butcher's Guild Captain from Guild Ball.

Halfling Spearmen Part 1
A little while back now, I generated my second random project - Halfling Spearmen from Warploque Miniatures.
Now to add some paint!
Norse Orc Hero Pt 2
Last week I was working on how to change the Skin and this week ill be showing the results of this and also working on the leather and as you can see there is alot.
Showcase - Keysha from Purgatory
It's Purgatory time again! Their third competition closes today, so it's about time I showed off my entry for it. Keysha was Purgatory's third release, and the only regular "trooper" so far - the others are what I'd call bosses or sidekicks.
Anyhow. Keysha. Paint.

Project Fishermen: Part 1
I picked up a few bits for the Fisherman Guild (Guildball) at Salute last weekend, and the paint is going on very easily! Let's take a look..
Ragnok, Norse Orc Hero Pt 1
I picked this up November last year at the scale model show. and thought it was time to get it out of the to do pile and add it to the small but growing done list.
Showcase - Black Widow
It turns out that I don't have to spend weeks on a project to get something finished! Started and finished in about 12 hours over a couple of Sundays, I got the Black Widow from Knight Models painted up.
Superman Show Case.
It did take longer than the month but with a holiday some times and alot of the time with me things just dont go to plan but now he is done and based thought it was time to share with you all how he turned out.
Star Vixen from Kabuki Models - Lady Storm Trooper Unboxing
Earlier this year, Kabuki Models (Now Kabuki Studios) released the Star Vixen as the first model in their new Cal 75 Range. Being a rather big Star Wars fan that has so far missed out on every Knight Models Star Wars piece that has popped up on ebay at a reasonable price, she was an insta-buy.
First Look - Purgatory Salute Releases Unboxed!
A couple of months back, I asked the guys at Purgatory a cheeky question - could I get my Salute order before Salute, so I could put up pretty pictures for people? They said yes, so, despite the best efforts of the postal system, a couple of nice boxes arrived yesterday.
Purgatory have two new models available at Salute - Bobby B, who is a limited Show/Event only model, and Hannibal, who is a standard release. Bobby B will also be available online over event weekends. Both models are resin.
How To: Pinning and Tab Pinning
I've spent a little time recently building minis from Knight Models to clear some space in my cupboard and decided it might be useful to do a little "How To" on pinning and tab pinning models to bases. A lot of people will already know these, or at least the pinning side, but there are always someone that might not have asked the question yet.
To assist me in this demonstration, I'll be using two versions of Jason Todd - Red Hood (Arkham Knight) and The Arkham Knight.

Army Basing Ideas
Not much progress on Joan of arc yet, but I have been thinking about some new basing ideas for a possible 'evil' army..
Superman Pt4
as you can see I have droped the month many because I will be unable to finish it due to a holiday next week and other things.

Unboxing Hunger & Lust from Broken Toad
While I was wondering through the Asylum Wargaming webstore looking at all the pretty things on there, I spotted that they had added both the Wonderlands Transition set and Hunger & Lust to their Broken Toad range. While I'm not a fan of the Wonderlands stuff (too chaotic and creepy for me in style), I've been thinking about picking up Hunger & Lust since Broken Toad released it. What held me back? Well, I haven't actually done anything with the trio of BT busts I picked up and unboxed back in November. I decided that since I was ordering some Guild Ball stuff, I'd stick the bust in the basket as well, as it would be a few weeks before I'd have to think about finding a place in the cupboard for it.
I was a little surprised to get an email a couple of days later to say that the bust was on it's way as the guys at Asylum had split the order up into stuff they had, and stuff they were waiting on.

The bust arrived on Thursday, complete with Easter Egg and Yorkshire Tea bag - great service from Asylum.
Project Generation System - Project 2
Once I finished the first model picked out by my Project Generation System - The Imperial Guard Lord Commissar, I decided that it had worked well enough to carry on and generate a second project. As I'm working on Keysha from Purgatory at the moment as well, this one might be a little slower to get finished.
Joan of Arc : Part 1
It's time for a new project, and this time it's small!
Almost exactly a year ago, at Salute, I picked up a book, that book was Angel Giraldez' Painting Miniatures Vol 1. The book also came with a miniature and now I feel the time is right to have a go at it!
