Well, it has been a great summer vacation as far as getting a lot of mini painting in. Here is my final completed mini of the summer...a Protectorate Reclaimer...Working on a new blog project which I'll be launching soon...

Product Review: Dark Sword Miniatures Masterworks Painting DVD
Posted by Gareson @ Iron Kingdoms at WarAug 26 2011
This is something I don't usually do with the blog but I know I have some readers who, like me, are always looking to improve their painting and learn a few, new tricks. Recently I saw the trailer to Dark Sword Miniatures "Masterworks Miniature Painting With Jen Haley and ...
I often see, either on the gaming table or the internet, painted minis that are finished up except for basing. Now of course for the fanciest basing you'll really need to pre-sculpt or integrate the details ahead of time(see some of Adary's great articles on Just the Bases). However, if your mini is all painted ...
Warmachine Battle Report: Shooting Gallery Showdown(Khador v Cygnar 40 pts)
Posted by Gareson @ Iron Kingdoms at WarAug 22 2011
My son, Gareth(a.k.a. GDogsDog) usually beats me in our Warmahordes showdowns...and today was no exception. I was able to talk him out of his favorite army(Cryx) so we could change things up a bit...but it didn't change the outcome. Pre-Game-Here is a breakdown of our staring forces and deployment:Cygnar(Gareson) ...
That's right, necessity is the mother of invention. I was reminded of the old axiom when I screwed up painting this miniature! I'm sure I'm not alone...but I find that eyes are a challenge to paint(especially on a certain squinty-eyed Khadoran warcaster). The point of no return on a ...
When I purchased this model months ago it was my intention to give it a Khadoran paint job and give to Zerkova(allowed under one of her army lists). However, in the end, my Llaelese sympathies drove me in a different direction. Most of my mercenary 'jacks are fairly muted ...
Recently finished a unit that was not a chore to paint! Painting commonly uniformed troopers can get a bit monotonous...ask any mini painter! However, these Kossite Woodsmen, Khadoran auxiliary troops, were a pleasure to finish up....that's the beauty of irregular troopers: a mix of attire. These models were largely ...
Ever have one of those nights when you can't sleep because you have an idea for how you want to paint a certain miniature? Laying in bed you think, "Ahhh, but I could try this-or-that effect!"....and then you have to get up and paint(even if its 3am). That's what ...
There are few things as sad as a wonderfully painted miniature on a plain, undecorated base....especially when a basic texture effect is so easily achieved cheaply and quickly. This is Basing 101: using sand as dirt texture for your wargaming mini. Now for veterans this is a 'no brainer'...a tried and tested method for quickly ...
"Natural Textured Base" by Adary Adary(a regular contributor on the Privateer Press forum) and myself(Gareson) have teamed up to launch a blog(Just The Bases) dedicated to creating custom bases for your miniatures. Though it is in its infancy, and will certainly get 'dressed up' and filled up ...
