• Gryphon Down

    Had a request to share some of our custom material from the Enemy Within Campaign, so I am posting the graphics and Foundry JSON file here. This is for the Gryphon Down sequence near Gladbeich, in which the group is hired by the locals to investigate a scary noise of a monster from the mountains. Full credit where due – I found this map somewhere on the internet, I did not create it myself. But it fit well with the adventure, so I went with it. I haven’t actually shared these files before, so hopefully this set works. I included…

  • 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 leads to different details, mainly blended thru the use of Dark Shade. This is my first real attempt at edge highlighting – I was happy with the results on the skin around the face, arms, and legs. My attempts at other pieces were less successful,…

  • The Enemy Within (Warhammer FRP) 5.47

    Our band of heroes, having witnessed the Skaven assault on the Brass Keep (and its ultimate failure), is now fleeing in front of the wave of paniced and starving ratmen. Racing down the valley, an attempt to collapse the trail ultimately failed, providing only minimal gains for the group. Now the group is cut off from each other, and faces a large group of Skaven, protecting one of many escape tunnels back to the underground warrens. They are facing a desperate battle, against overwhelming odds and a very limited time clock. https://youtu.be/lLr9JVmDotg

  • Kingmaker (Pathfinder 2e) 3.09

    The group continues to explore the ruined keep, deep in the wilderness west of their kingdom. Dealing with Fey strikes and multiple magical traps, the group is damaged but defiant as they seek to gather all the riches of the site. Meanwhile, with a change to the Kingdom phase (now being done offline as a background process), the scouts have indicated that they have located the source of the Troll threat. https://youtu.be/XZdML69sWrA

  • 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, including painting the eyes and trying some highlighting. Some good, some not so good, but the model in the end turned out nice. If you have a similar model, or just want to follow along for some tips, join in the discussion.

  • Mordheim 005 – Lizardmen vs Witch Hunters

    We have a short battle report this week for Mordheim, with Ben’s Lizardmen facing Thad’s Witch Hunters. The mission was an Occupy goal, both sides competing to hold ground against the enemy. Overall, the fight was pretty even – both sides suffered steady but fairly even casualties.

  • 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 of miniature painting (some of it is even decent), I finally set up a layout by which I can record the work. These sessions are then edited down, to walk thru the steps needed to paint the models. This includes paint colors, techniques, hints and…

  • 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 even a very good one. But most of the information I can share can be used by almost anyone, regardless of skill level, to at least get an adequate attempt on the table. With time, no doubt my skills will improve. For now, I am…
