ArcWorlde Ogre Trooper - Showcase

Last week I shared my Deathwatch Blackstar, something that to me was more of a battle of attrition than actual fun. To counter this, I built and painted one of the models I picked up at Vapnartak a couple of weeks ago - the Albionnican Ogre Trooper from Warploque Miniatures.

Icarus Miniatures Alliance Starter Set Unboxing

I wasn't expecting to be posting another Kickstarter unboxing so quickly after the last one, but I got a nice little box from Icarus Miniatures on Monday, containing their Alliance Starter Set. After having a quick peek at the figures, it would be rude of me not to show them off to people!

Wild Elf Mascot - ArcWorlde Showcase

Short and sweet this week folks!

This week I've painted up the Wild Elf Mascot from Warploque Miniatures, from their first ArcWorlde Kickstarter back in 2013.

The Mascots - adorable right?

Purgatory's Siren - A Closer Look

For the final A Closer Look for a little while, I had quite a choice to make. In one hand I had the new Toughest Girls in the Galaxy Freebies from Raging Heroes' second Kickstarter. In the other I had Siren from Purgatory. There are probably dozens of blogs and videos about the former already, so I'm going with Siren (whom I like more anyway ;) )

Jack The Ripper from West Wind Productions - A Closer Look

We're going back through time for this week's A Closer Look, coming face to face with Jack The Ripper, from Empire Of The Dead by West Wind Productions.

Gambit from Knight Models - A Closer Look

This week's A Closer Look sees us venture into the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game from Knight Models, with Remy LeBeau, better known as Gambit.

BMG Joker Crew - Ready for Mayhem!

The Joker Crew pour from the gates of Arkham Asylum. They are ready to hit the streets of Gotham City to cause as much chaos and mayhem as they can before the Bat arrives!


The streets of Gotham will never be the same again.

ArcWorlde - Battle For Troll Bridge Kickstarter Unboxing

Shortly after finishing my ArcWorlde Halfling Spearmen last week, a nice courier brought a big box full of goodies from the ArcWorlde: Battle For Troll Bridge Kickstarter. Battle For Troll Bridge is a starter box with four factions, perfect for getting people started in the game. 

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unboxing Keysha from Purgatory

Last week Purgatory started sending out orders of their third model - Keysha, which I was rather excited about. In fact, I like the guys at Purgatory a lot, and they like it when people paint their miniatures and enter them into their contests, which I did for both of their previous releases - Death and Saint Peter. The way Purgatory do things is that if you win a competition for one figure, you win a copy of the next one they release. So, seeing as I won the contest for Saint Peter (I've probably mentioned it before, but it's still a pretty new and awesome feeling, so I'm going to keep saying it), here is Keysha.

Plating up the Infamy Miniatures Full English Pledge - Part 4: Brunch

Welcome to the final part of my Infamy: Welcome to the Big Smoke Kickstarter unboxing. I've titled it Brunch, as it crosses the divide between the Full English pledge I picked up in the Kickstarter and the new, pre-release toys that have arrived courtesy of the recent Infamy One Shot Kickstarter (which was unboxed earlier in the week by Shamikebab here)

I'd also like to take a moment to say sorry for the delay! This has been the largest unboxing I've done since I received all of my Guild Ball Kickstarter models and it's been quite spread out. If you missed any sections, here are Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. 

Plating up the Infamy Miniatures Full English Pledge - Part 3: Elevensies

Welcome to a slightly delayed Part 3 of my Infamy Miniatures Full English KS Unboxing. After the unnamed Part 1 and Part 2: Second Breakfast comes Elevensies. In this Unboxing, I'll be looking at The Quaker, The Paranormal, Mr Dodgson, the now retired Frank Hyde, Oscar and finally the fierce looking Jo March.

St Peter from Purgatory - Single Figure Winner

Back in September, I won the single figure category of Purgatory's first painting contest for Death. The reward for winning that contest was a copy of St Peter (unboxing here), which gave me a chance to enter the next contest, which finished last weekend. 

It turns out that something between me and Purgatory miniatures seems to have clicked, as St Peter followed Death and also picked up the win in the single figure category!
