The young Doodling is finally starting to develop an occasional appreciation for cots over parents' embraces, and so while that sleep tends to be noisy enough to ensure my own wakefulness, I do now sometimes have access to both hands. Thus painting is back on the table. After freeing the dropper bottles of their heatwave-induced … Continue reading 15mm Demons
Our open-table Old School Essentials campaign has been going for just shy of five years, playing roughly thirty sessions each year. There haven't been any official breaks though the rate tended to drop over summer and winter as holidays impacted everyone's availability. Summer is looming again so I'd normally anticipate another stretch of a few … Continue reading Yeoldelands on Hiatus
Continuing the production line of Reaper Bones monsters which work at 15mm scale, here's the Faceless Horror to act as some horrible beastie from another dimension.

Throughout my miniature gaming life, limited space has been as much an obstacle to the hobby as financial cost. My childhood bedroom had just about enough space once the bed had been wedged in for a 2' by 4' playing board my dad hinged to the wall, and hobby storage amounted to whatever I could … Continue reading Storing 15mm miniatures – Outgrowing the biscuit tin

Another of the familiars from Reaper Bones' 28mm Pack 2 proves to be a good 15mm fit. Got some secondary sexual characteristics just so that the adventurers know they're being burned alive by a lady elemental. Done very quickly with speed paints, layering over sequentially darker colours out from the white hot centre.
