Something's Fishy

This little guy was a fun and easy paint.  He is a Morlock figure from Archvillain Games.  Cool pose and some nice details. I got him on Etsy from PalisadeIndustries last summer.  I think he makes a nice addition to my collection.

Ghost of a Chance

 I've been wanting to paint this Ghost King miniature from Reaper Bones for a long time.  The delay in getting this done was that I couldn't quite wrap my head around how it should look.  The solution came the other day when I was searching through my old Heroscape figures and came across  the Shades of Bleakewoode.

Their paint scheme is simple and eerie at the same time.  I liked it and thought it would look good on this figure.  I'm giving a go.  See what you think of the final result.  As always, thanks for taking the time to check out my humble little blog.  Stay safe out there!

Taken by Storm

This is my take on Storm Shadow.  The body is a Heroclix Ninja.  The head is WH40K Eldar.  The katana is from a Heroscape Samurai. 

He's ready to join the other Cobra leaders (Mods I did a while back) in taking on the Joe's.  Snake Eyes can't wait.

One more to go, I still want to make a Scarlett figure.  Another project for another time.

In the Shadow of the Knight

 I had a few duplicate figures from the Banner Saga set I purchased some time ago.  I decided to convert them into some kind of Chaos Knights.  With my trusty X-Acto Knife. I removed the heads, weapons, and shields from the figures.  I glued on some leftover parts from the Chaos Warriors that I had and ended up with some pretty decent looking models.

I dubbed them, "Shadow Knights".  These ancient warriors believed they were given immortality by the Chaos Gods.  Instead, they wither away slowly across time.  They are but a shadow of what they once were.  Lost, they roam battlefields looking for prey, longing for the glory they long ago possessed.  Once many, now but a few, they hope to reclaim the favor of the dark gods and gain what they had been promised.

It's All in the Box

I always like to share when I come across something that is good and of value.  For the past few months I've been enjoying the Every Plate meal plan.  It's simple, easy, and well worth it.  You preorder your meals for the week, they send you a box with everything you need to make them...no brainer.  I've loved every single meal to date.  I really can't say enough good things about this meal plan. Ya gotta try it!

It's Not Easy Being Green

 

I purchased this Gul'Vaal, Eater Of Hope, figure on Etsy last summer from BartlelsMarvels and am finally getting around to painting it. He is a Chaos Nurgle Demon Lord. This sucker is big (3.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall).

I had a great time painting it. I tried to make it as vile, ugly, and disgusting as possible. (Hey, I wanted to do the guy proud). I modified the contents spilling out of the sack. (There was this gooney looking head poking out.) I replaced it with some tentacles I removed from an old Horrorclix figure. I added a rusty chain and put a skull on the back of the base.

I'm still working on a Nurgle Cavalry unit to complete my Chaos Army I started last summer.  Soon, I hope to have some minions to help the Big Guy spread pestilence, famine, and decay.

This proliferator of the plague turned out pretty damn cool in my humble opinion.  Check it out and see what you think.

Not So Peachy

The boys in blue and gold came up a bit short tonight in the Peach Bowl.  They had their moments, but it wasn't to be.  Thanks to all the players and coaches for a fantastically enjoyable season.  Pitt Football is back!

This will be the last post of 2021.  I hope 2022 will be a better year for all of us.  Take care out there and stay safe.  Peace.

The Lone Ranger

I watched a video on converting the Final Faction A.C.R.M. Figure into a combat droid/walker.  Here's the link to the video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd8OCjZQhYA

After watching it, I went to the Dollar Tree and picked one up.  For the most part, I stuck to what I saw in the video, modifying the paint scheme somewhat.  I did add a few items from the Final Faction accessory packs. I also glued the head, arms, and legs so that couldn't move. For a few hours of time and a little over $4, I'm stoked at how cool this figure turned out.

Take a look at the Ranger Class Combat Droid Series TX-281.  It's know by the Grunts it supports simply as "Walker".

I Have The Power

 

Well, I may not have the power but I do have these two pretty cool miniatures which I bought at the Dollar Tree.  They are from the Mattel Micro Masters of the Universe collection.  The store did have several more figures in the set (Man-At-Arms, Mer-Man, and Orko) but I decided to just get these two.   Each figure is roughly 2 inches tall.  He-Man and Skeletor can now battle for all Eternia (LOL) on my (still yet to be finished) wargaming table.

Crazy for Cryptids

 I want to thank Jon, Len, and B.C. for sending me a copy of a book that they have a new story in.  The book is called A World Unseen.  It's got a bunch of creepy stories about cryptids and such.  The guys (the Writers 3) have a story titled The Devil and Cleopatra in it.  It's awesome!!!!  I really enjoy reading their stuff but this story might be my favorite.  I included a link to the book.  Check it out!  Happy reading!

A World Unseen

I'll Take You Out

In the event that a little dirty work needs to take place (on the gaming table that is), I just ordered these assassins from Spikey Bits.  As you can see the deal is great and the models look fantastic.  Can't wait to get them painted up and ready for play.  Check out the pic.
