  • Gotrek Doomaxe and Drakki Trollbane

    Gotrek Doomaxe and Drakki Trollbane

    A second set of dwarves for my upcoming Dwarven Treasure Hunters warband, for use in Mordheim. These are Trollslayer Heroes, specifically Gotrek Doomaxe and Drakki Trollbane, a pair of disgraced dwarves eager to meet their death’s in glorious battle. The painting was done exclusively with Army Painter colors, rather than relying on Contrast Paints. This…

  • Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Mordheim) – Grimnar Ironhand

    Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Mordheim) – Grimnar Ironhand

    Continuing my painting tutorial series with a Dwarf Noble model, and the start of a new Mordheim warband – the Dwarf Treasure Hunters. As my warband leader, Grimnar Ironhand provides the stubbornness and strength of the dwarves, ready to face any challenges that may come their way. I tried a few alternate techniques this time,…

  • The Halfling’s Brush – ARF Troopers

    The Halfling’s Brush – ARF Troopers

    My first painting video of substance is the recently released ARF Troopers for Star Wars Legion. This includes 7 Galactic Republic Clones and a single Jedi Guardian, usable in games of Legion. This is a new format for me and my channel, an attempt to create and publish painting content. Since I do a lot…

  • The Halfling’s Brush

    The Halfling’s Brush

    I spent a lot of time today and over the last weekend, setting up and then using a new painting station. This allows me to record my paint efforts, and thru a bit of editing magic, turn them into hopefully useful tutorials and walk thrus. I am not a professional level painter, and frequently not…

  • New paint rack

    New paint rack

    I have been working on a re-design of my painting station, trying to put most of the various pieces up on the wall (using designs by Multiboard). As part of this, I realized that my existing paint racks where rather over-sized. They worked well to store paints, but the angle and size meant that there…

  • Dog Tags update

    Dog Tags update

    Managed to cut and clean up a bunch of the acrylic, and then start to assemble the various components. Overall, I am happy with the look and format. However, there is notable flaws in the laser engraving of the acrylic – I suspect my settings are too hot for both engraving and cutting. Quite a…

  • Bit of Suppression

    Bit of Suppression

    As I continue to develop game aids for Bolt Action and Star Wars Legion, I opted to create a few laser-cut acrylic Suppression and Pin markers. These share a similar design to the cardboard Star Wars Legion tokens, but the intent is to be universal. They are also part of the sizing considerations for the…

  • Bolt Action Scoreboard

    Bolt Action Scoreboard

    Finally caught up (a little) on my product development, and posted out Bolt Action Scoreboard on Etsy (soon to follow here). This includes both a digital download option, as well as the physical laser-cut design, depending on the customer’s capabilities. With the weather starting to warm up, it will be nice to get back into…
