Diminutive Denizens Update: Oct 10, 2009
Posted by IA Dave @ Dankelblarg » Miniature PaintingOct 14 2009
Looking over my painted miniature gallery, it looks like the last time it was updated was August 8th.
Of 2008.
It would be fair to call that significant slackage. It's not that I haven't painted anything since then, I just haven't taken the time to photograph my miniatures and post. Yet. Time to shame myself into ...
When I sat down with my Bastions the other day to prep them for painting, I decided to knock out Rhoven’s Honor Guard at the same time. It’s been a couple years since I painted any exemplar models and I remembered I hated painting their armor, but I forgot just how time consuming it was....
Once a miniature hits the table, it's inevitably going to be subjected to the rigors of gaming. Even the most careful of gamers will have accidents. It's painful to see hours of hard work spent painting a figure vanish in one quick tabletop accident, but that's why most gamers seal their miniatures after painting them.

After the rush to get my army painted for Hardcore and the disappointment of not being able to play, I decided to take a break from painting Privateer Press miniatures.

It's been over half a year since I started my Protectorate of Menoth character warjacks. Working on them quickly degraded from fun to tedious but a couple weeks ago I finally forced myself to sit down and make some actual progress. I'll finally have them - and Typhon - competed within the next couple days.
...For many people tabletop war games can be a very visual hobby. I’m not a proponent of having to paint to play but there’s no denying that painted models and nice terrain can really dress up a table. Sometimes, though, well crafted terrain can add difficulties to play, or worse yet be damaging to models!

Return of the Brush: Typhon and Company

Typhon WIP
After I finished Epic Thagrosh I took a bit of break from miniature painting. I'm not sure if it was the culmination of the burnout I had been feeling or the stomach virus I had caught but I pretty much put down the brush about a month or ...
