Unboxing Lilith from Nocturna Models
Two weeks ago I unboxed the Elf Prince from Michael Kontraros and said was one of the most beautiful miniatures I own. I think this one gives him a run for his money.
Unboxing Kabuki's Bonny Anne Bust (NSFW)
Back in March, Kabuki released previews of their 1/8 Scale Bonny Anne bust. I liked the look of her, so asked Brett at the Wamp Store to grab me one when shipping my Kickstarter order. And so, here she is!
As the title says, beyond this point could be considered NSFW. Mainly because that vest top you can see on the box art? That's an optional piece.
Basius 2 - The Milliput Experiments.
Recently, I picked up a couple of Basius 2 pads from the Wargames Bakery Kickstarter for them and posted about my first attempts at using green stuff with them. I got a couple of comments suggesting I try Milliput with them, so that's exactly what I've done!
Unboxing The Elf Dragon Prince from Michael Kontraros
There are some things in life that you have to just stop and admire. These can range from a great view to a cracking goal. I firmly believe that this miniature belongs in this category.
This guy is the Elf Dragon Prince from Michael Kontraros Collectibles. He's a beautifully crafted 90mm resin model, complete with scenic base. Of course, he has a price that reflects how awesome he is.
Free Forge World Shipping and Exclusive Space Marine Legion Centurion
To celebrate their new website going live, Forge World are offering free standard shipping on orders over £100 and also have an exclusive miniature to mark the occasion - a Space Marine Legion Centurion. Both the free shipping and Marine are available until 30th September so if you've ever fancied dipping in to Forge World, now would be a pretty good time to do it.
Q and A with Scott Hockley
Death from Purgatory - Up for Pre-Order
Our friends over at Purgatory have put their first ever miniature up for Pre-Order!
Death is a 32mm scale high quality resin model and the first representation of Eve to hit production.

Wamp Brushes Kickstarter (And Extras!) Unboxing
A few months back, I helped out with the production and running of a Kickstarter project with Brett over at Wamp. His idea was to get a set of brushes developed specifically for miniature painters from the best materials. Fast forward a few weeks from that and we exceeded our wildest expectations by hitting over £42k and over 6000 brushes, which were only slightly larger figures than the £850 and 160 Brushes we needed to produce to hit the minimum.
Add in a little time for pledge management, production and shipping, which brings me up to Saturday morning, when a large box arrived for me.

Yes, there is other stuff in the box, but that's secret and will be revealed over the coming weeks ;)
Unboxing 54mm Telsa and Crookes from Infamy Miniatures
A while back, I posted an unboxing blog about The Infamy Ton. I picked it up online but if I'd have picked it up at Salute, I'd have had the chance to switch out some of the items for 54mm models of Tesla and Sgt Crookes.
Thankfully, for Nikola Tesla's birthday, James opened up the Infamy store with these two limited edition miniatures in it - and they're only going to be available during 2015. James also opened up the chance to split the shipping batches on any Kickstarter goodies, but I resisted taking that option as I want to receive everything in one big box.
Batman Tournament Time - Who to Pick?
West Coast Gamers announced their first Annual Batman Miniature Game Tournament this week, and it will be taking place in Aspatria, Cumbria. Despite being an hour away, this will probably be the closest I can get to a "local" tournament (Cumbria can be pretty, but it does take a while to get places).
Brambleten's Tour Of Gotham - Part 8: GCPD Detective - Another One Off The List
Not every character in the Batman Miniature Game gets a name. Most do, in one form or another, be it the Green Arrow, or Turk, a Black Gate prisoner with two pistols. Some just get a job title, such as Gotham Policeman (better known as Fat Cop) or Clown (Knife), indicating the weapon the character is armed with. The GCPD Detective is one such character.
Basius 2 From Wargames Bakery - Getting Started and the Projects to Come
They're here at last! Earlier this week I got to experience the rush that you get when you find a box of Kickstarter goodies waiting for you. In this instance, it was two large resin squares from Wargames Bakery. Well actually, it was two of their new Basius 2 basing mold pads from their Kickstarter that was run between September and October last year. After a few delays, they were all delivered to Mantic last week, and shipped out this week.
Painting on the Go!
One of the best things to do when it comes to miniature painting is painting with others.......
Age Of Sigmar Starter Box Unboxing and an Optimist's Opinion So Far.
With The End Times ended and the Old World destroyed, the plotline for Warhammer Fantasy didn't really have a lot of places to go. So, where better to go than up into space, with a god riding a big rock who then meets a dragon creature. Seems legit.
That's a pretty condensed version of the premise for Age of Sigmar, but Games Workshop needed to reboot somehow after a pretty successful showing of ripping a couple of decades of lore to pieces in The End Times in a process that injected a lot of enthusiasm back into a game that for some (myself included) had gone a little stale.
There are a lot of naysayers about in regard to Age of Sigmar, but I'm going to try not to be one of them. I'm going to try and give what should hopefully be a positive outlook on the new game and also throw in some pictures of the brand new Age Of Sigmar starter box, containingSigmarines Stormcast Eternals and some Khorne dudes.

Flask, Mascot for The Alchemist's Guild - Guild Ball
After painting a ball earlier in the month, I finally got my first proper Guild Ball mini painted - Flask from the Alchemist's Guild.
Unboxing the Retribution of Scyrah All In One Army Box
As promised on our Facebook page when it arrived, here is an unboxing of the recently released All In One Army Box for Retribution of Scyrah from Privateer Press. Inside it is a full 35 point army consisting of 1 Warcaster, 2 Warjacks, 2 units of troops, a troop command unit and 3 solos.
It is described as a limited release box aimed at either new players or veterans wanting to start a new faction, so it won't be around forever. I picked up mine from Element Games for just under £90.
Beware The Court of Owls... and Hush - Knight Models New Releases
It's new faction time in the Batman Miniature Game, with the dreaded and long awaited Court of Owls arriving on the scene, along with the star of what is widely regarded to be one of the best Batman graphic novels - Hush.
Guild Ball - One down, many to go
It's taken a while, but I finally have the first item from my Guild Ball Kickstarter box finished - a ball!
