The Grimdark Side of Miniature Wargames and Art
Tomb raiders from far corners of the Void land on Nekroplanet Grob to pillage its treasures. But the treasures are guarded! Grobniks – an army of androids built by the ancient extinct civilisation that buried their dead on the inhospitable Nekroplanet, still watch the sepulchres of their former masters. Sculpted back in August, Grobnik…
We don’t know where it started and we don’t know when it started. They came out of nowhere. Until now the war was a distant thing happening somewhere but here. We only knew what was said in the radio. When the first shell hit no-one was prepared. And when we realized what was attacking the […]
I’m currently exploring new scenic photography ideas, and I finally got to use the leaf preservation technique with glycerine I heard so much about. This straightforward step-by-step covers the topic of how to make your natural moss last. I’ve made several batches in the past weeks, until I finally had enough new scenery to do test scenic shots. Here…
I had an idea, many moons ago, that I’d like to build a diorama in homage to one of my favourite characters, and film trilogies of all time: The Evil Dead. Inspiration struck when my wife provided me with a cardboard box in the shape of a book… the ideal shape and size for a……
Rotten Factory are celebrating their five years in business with a new crowdfunding campaign. They have many characterful resin minis on offer, new and old, but my main interest is a product they haven’t had before: silicone moulds for pouring plaster terrain elements, which can then be put together in a variety of ways to create…
They know what lies ahead. They are quiet. They communicate with hand signs. It took a while for the German pilot to understand his allies. But it has worked last night and will work tonight as well. The moon makes it easy to see them move. But it also reveals them.
A quick update on a recent Halloween inspired build I did. I had slightly incomplete, slightly broken “wraith” from Black Crow Miniatures in one of my many junk boxes for a while. Took it upon myself to rescue him and make something cool. He was missing his legs; which I didn’t mind as he looks……
Just finished a commission of ghastly ghouls, converted and painted in the vein of my old Flesh Eater Courts for AoS28. The client wanted a set of big ones on foot, and a set of grotesque fliers. The whole lot was made from the Nurgle’s Rotters BloodBowl team + Chaos Fury and Tyranid Gargoyle wings. The Rotters set offers several different…

I have some more indie minis to show, as I’m working towards having a collection of miscellaneous characters and monsters for the skirmish game Brutal Quest. Since I’m doing minimal converting (or none at all) on these, they are fairly quick to get done. First, a trio of drab undead characters from Rotten Factory. They’re from the…
