Feed Me! - Kingdom Death Lonely Tree

The Lonely Tree is both the last expansion I've painted for a client or myself, and the last I personally bought. It's... a difficult model, but I'm pretty happy with how this one came out, even though it took way longer than I intended.

The Plants and the Animals Eat Each Other - Kingdom Death Lonely Tree and Slenderman

So, the Lonely Tree marks the very last Kingdom Death "monster" I had left to paint, before completing the first wave of expansions, and is one of the trickiest things to paint, since it's a modular kit.

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.

Bringing a Gun to a Knife Fight - Kingdom Death Manhunter and Rawhide Armor

I haven't quite finished a proper Manhunter review, but the short version is that he's one of my favorite expansions.

Blue vs. Red - Kingdom Death Butcher and Hand

I've done a few Hand paint jobs, and done more than half of those in blue lighting, but I feel like the tuning I achieved on this one really improved it past slight technical improvement.

Crowning Achievements - Kingdom Death Dragon King and Campaign Conclusion

It nearly slipped by me I'm hitting my 500th post... well, I had to do something a little bigger for that, didn't I? (Note the 35mm model on the bottom...)

The Watchmen - Kingdom Death Watcher + some survivors

This is the first time I've done a basically natural-looking Watcher, and I'm quite happy with how he came out.

Something to Fight Over - Mats by Mars review

Having played a few games with Mats by Mars' vinyl, umm, mat, I've donned my reviewer cap again to talk about my first honest-to-goodness functional game board.

The Family that Slays Together Stays Together - The Sisters / Viktorias crew

In 2nd edition, the Viktorias got a lot more of a punk vibe, and so I tried to turn that up to 11 with color choices, while sticking to a stock scheme.

A Real Firebrand - Black Legion Demon Prince conversion

This big dude definitely ranks right up there with my favorite 40k projects.

The Love Conquers All version - Kingdom Death's Partnership minis

The skeptic in me says the holiday's a weird mix of history and organized religion, bastardized by time and then co-opted for consumerism; the, umm, less-skeptic in me says "meh, as long as you don't do something stupid, an excuse for a celebration is still an excuse for a celebration."

Om-Nom - Kingdom Death Screaming Antelope and Bone Armor survivors

For being about as powerful, I find the Screaming Antelope so much more interesting than the Lion.

Reincarnation - Kingdom Death Phoenix

This is the second time I've painted the Phoenix, and it's just an epic model, regarding both scale and detail (and quantity of creepy little hands).

This time, I went with a more traditional red paint job, though still with true Kingdom Death gross fleshy bits.

The Walls Have Eyes? Watcher and Kingdom Death years 13-19

The Watcher is a pretty snazzy ghosty guy, had a lot of fun painting him in a near-monochrome, with a few tones of grey and just the teal as light sources.

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.

Of Our Elaborate Plans, the End. Casting, Converting, and Kingdom Death years 20-23

A King's Man fight. Don't worry, it's just staged.

Starting off, some scenery that's been building to this point for a long time.

Cast of Characters - More plaster casting & Kingdom Death settlement years 13-17

Some more sculpting and casting, today.

Positive, Negative - Plaster Casting & Kingdom Death Settlement Years 7-12

Another combined creative project and battle report dual post. This time, with plaster!

Some sort of Deep-Space Potato? - Astral Claws Converted Storm Talon

"Redemption of the ludicrous" is a term I throw around occasionally.

A Healthy Glow - Kingdom Death Alison the Twilight Knight, plus mini-materials review

I am really goddamn excited about Kingdom Death: Monster finally arriving any day now.

I just finished painting my first of their new plastic line's promos which arrived ahead of the core game, and I think Alison the Twilight Knight is one of the best models I've done recently.
