Dredgeful Day

Quite some time ago I ordered a bunch of miniatures from MERCS Miniatures.  While I was on their website I noticed an offer for a set of fantasy minis for dirt cheap.  For the price, I couldn't resist.

When they arrived, I was glad that I hadn't passed on them.  The figures are great (quality, detail, sculpt, variety).  I was especially impressed by the figures that I came to find out are called the Dredge.  All the figures were made for their Banner Saga game.  The Dredge, are the "so-called" bad guys.

They were easy and fun to paint.  It was a project that only took a couple of days which is fine because the weather here lately has been crappy for the most part.  It kept me from being bored and I stayed out of trouble.  In the end, I have some really cool looking miniatures.  There are still a ton more in the box to paint.  (I'll get around to them!}

Check out the pic.  I'm pretty happy with this "Dredgeful" bunch.

Time Marches On (Slowly)

At home due to the COVID-19 situation like many of you around the world.  I've been putting some energy into getting some of my miniature wargaming stuff done.  Here's a little beauty I completed over the past couple of days.  It's a Frost Wyrm from Reaper Bones Miniatures.  I wanted to have a sort of snow/ice feel to it.  I'm not 100% thrilled with it, but overall it looks pretty cool I think.  Take a look.  Stay safe out there!

Sign O' The Times



Sign O' The Times was an amazing album by Prince released back in 1987.  When I was putting together this new piece of terrain, I was inspired by the current events that are taking place around us. 

The model is an apartment building manufactured by Plasticville U.S.A.  Keeping with the times and influenced by pics from the internet, I decided to go with this grim-dark version.  The building has been quarantined.  Based on the look of the place, is it to keep people in or something else out (zombies maybe???)  I've included a front and back view of the place.  (The lighting's a bit off in the second pic...sorry!)

Anyway, it's done and looks fairly good.  I put a couple of HeroClix figs on top for show.  I still have about a half dozen pieces of terrain to complete.  I'll get to them sooner or later.  Stay safe, stay well, and stay in!
