Happy-Turkey Day - Kingdom Death Display Phoenix & Innovation tracker

...Not to be confused with "Happy Turkey Day," since it was his day for some fun, rather than time to overeat. Well, actually, the big guy is (very loosely) based on the glossy teal-black of an Ayam Cemani black rooster (breed) instead of any sort of turkey.

The Kingdom Death Phoenix, painted as my interpretation of the Golden Eyed King of 1,000 years (which is one of the coolest boss titles I've ever seen). I think he's one of the most ambitious models I've painted, and I've one word for you: Texture.

No. 26... No. 26... - Malifaux Dreamer model

So, I'd actually been thinking about this guy for more than a year now, when it came time to execute.

I Go Walking After Midnight - Malifaux Swamp crew

I think this has been some of my most ambitious work in some time.

Odd Couple - Mr. Tannen & Mr. Graves

So, a little bit of a delayed post, but finally posting Mr. Graves from Wyrd Miniatures's Frozen Moments competition.

Election Day - Magnus' Cobbled Together Defender/Rocinante Conversion

I was inspired by a current competition to do a mini for my much-beloved but recently somewhat-unattended Magnus force.

Steampunk Smaaash! - Malifaux Friekorps Strongarm Suit

An atmospheric piece I entered in a competition a bit back.

The Japanese term is "Mono no Aware" - Gandalf

A bit of a nostalgia trip- the first competition piece I ever placed in.

The Shadow on the Moon at Night - Malifaux Nightmares

Somehow I forgot to post Coppellius after the Rotten Harvest.

If at First You Don't Succeed... Sonnia & crew

I entered Sonnia during the Rotten Harvest competition, and was a bit surprised when she didn't seem to get any recognition. Rather than get discouraged, I decided to take a step back and analyze my work, and came up with the above, through helpful criticism and personal reflection.

"Jealousy" - The Rotten Harvest Painting Competition Best in Show

Well, starting with the best foot forward...

edit: Oh, and, umm looking at the title now, in case it could be misconstrued, Jealousy was the name of the entry.

"Better... Stronger... Faster" Magnus Theme list continuation- part 10: revised Magnus Theme List Tactics Article

We can Rebuild Him! Mercenary theme list league and painting blog. Part 6: 30 points Most Wanted, returning to a classic, with a little variation

Last week, I finally did(!) get back to an actual league game, rather than just playing Magnus's themes.

It's been a couple years, but I'm getting back into playing Bad Seeds.

We can Rebuild Him! Mercenary theme list league and painting blog. Part 4: 50 points, notes on the league so far

Last week, I didn't do a league game, and was happier for it.

We can Rebuild Him! Mercenary theme list league and painting blog. Part 3.5: preview, test game

First off, the main reason I made this post-- I flaked and forgot I took this pic for the post yesterday. So, leading with shiny preview.

We can Rebuild Him! Mercenary theme list league and painting blog. Part 3: Painted Battlegroup

With the new league starting, I've been revising a lot, starting with Magnus's battlegroup.

We can Rebuild Him! Mercenary theme list league and painting blog. Part 2: First three League games

League Games 1-3

First, 15 point game, no limitations other than your theme.

I was going to shoot my minis for this, but, some mixed feelings on the beginning of this league have me kind of at loose ends, so I wanted to get this down.
