I will wander through the pines and make my way to nature's shrines - Abyssal Woods set, Part 0

So, this was a lot of fun: with the Abyssal Woods campaign coming... uh... some time in the future, I was happy that my client went with my suggestion that all his expansions that would integrate into the campaign be a single palette.

Getting into the Holiday Spirit - Modified Spidicules Expansion, and Scenery

So, I'd been considering modifying my Spidicules for ages but, before I'd become frustrated with its design, I already built and painted mine, so there wasn't much to do with that.

Boris the Spider! (bwowww!) - Kingdom Death Spidicules expansion

I've gone back and forth a lot on the Spidicules expansion.

Sewing Circle - Widow Weaver and Bandersnatch

The Widow Weaver's one of my favorite Malifaux models, and I was glad that the plastic version was 90%+ just a materials update.

Creepy Crawlies - Spidicules and Kingdom Death Campaign years 5.1-10

The Spidicules was one of my favorite minis from the first Kingdom Death KS. I've griped plenty about how impractical it turned out to be, which is why it's not still a favorite, but think it's a cool model, and think its little spiderlings are just charming, in an ugly sort of way. I'm particularly happy with how all their eyes came out.

Rolling Along - Kingdom Death Dung Beetle Knight

A quick one today-- another version of the gold Dung Beetle Knight color scheme I tried before, this time a bit more stylized. I think I got the glossy effect on the carapace and the wings looking particularly interesting this time.

The gloss gets into some effects I haven't done a lot recently, where in order to get the right effect, you need to go against instinct with coloring to the form, and instead just stipple it like there's no texture there and it's a flat painting, which makes a less-regular, more natural looking gloss that compliments the form rather than following it.

Grumblins! - Silver Tower Scuttlings

A quick little post today, the Grot Scuttlings are some of the better-designed basically snap-fit models I've run across, in the tradition of GW making (IMHO) better board games than miniature games, when done right. I gave these guys a variety of blacks and browns to get a hodgepodge effect that I think mostly came across.

Don't Take Any Shit - Kingdom Death Dung Beetle Knight and Survivors

The Dung Beetle Knight definitely ranks highly among my favorite monster designs in any game.

BugsBugsBugs! Myth Crawlers and miniatures review

I jumped on the Myth bandwagon a bit late, but the line has been fun to paint.
