A zombie for Tanares Adventures. Not my awesomest coloring ever, but it works. That said, let’s talk about the Vallejo “ultra matte” varnish on this guy. It’s f#ing shiny.

It rained all weekend, so I couldn’t work on our new deck, so I hunkered down indoors and painted like a fiend. Finished 30 models. Here are the most dramatic: Souls of the Damned for Shadows of Brimstone. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone
Souls of the Damned miniatures. Painted in ghostly green over lava bases.

It’s like building miniature terrain- only very, very heavy. Also, my wife is helping, which she never does with game terrain. #hobbynight #DIY #miniaturepainting

A pair of Armored War dogs for Shadows of Brimstone. Needed them for my regular game tomorrow, so a bit of a rush job, but pretty reasonable. #shadowsofbrimstone #miniaturepainting

4 HollowMen and a Heckler walk into to a bar. Finished up some Infinity minis. Painting as much as I can with crazy work hours and major home renovations taking up most of my time! #infinitythegame #miniaturepainting #reallifeintrudes

My painting table looks like Studio 54 circa 1977. Disco balls everywhere as I paint door prizes for GRiT 2026 (Grand Rapids Infinity Tournament). #miniaturepainting #infinitythegame
Miniature disco balls for use in Infinity. They blind opponents. lol.

This is probably how my wife feels at a game store. Time has stopped. The sun hangs motionless in the sky. Only endless flats of what appear to be variations on the same floral theme.
Endless row of flowers.

All those minis I paint need terrain, right? Watching Monarch with my wife and doing up some fantastic paper sci-fi buildings by David Graffen Models. #miniatures #infinitythegame
A table full of papercraft terrain, glue, foam board, etc.

“Fair Warning is Van Halen’s best album” might not be the musical hill I’d *choose* to die on, but I’d definitely plant a flag there.
 Van Halen’s Fair Warning album art. Adapted from some crazy medieval persons paintings or something. You should Google it.

I have been madly painting Carnevale minis for a friend and I to play, but I’m not close to done so no pics. That said, here’s what just showed up on my doorstep. #miniaturepainting #pathsunknown

While the 3D printer whomps up some minis for Konflikt ‘47c, I finished up some Trederran Banshee Shock Troopers of Shadows of Brimstone. They came out a smidge dark, but otherwise I like the look. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone

Here’s one for GenX: metal miniatures. These are PanOceania troopers for Infinity. God Bless Corvus Belli for carrying on the great “white pewter” tradition. #miniaturepainting #infinitythegame

Finished some Reapers for Tanares Adventures/Expeditions. Painting them to their card makes them easier to find in the sea of minis for this game. #miniaturepainting #tanaresadventures

So much wall. I did a base gray and then randomly colored various stones with 2 shades of tan, dry brushed, then washed. Then dry brushed light gray. Been working on these for awhile. They may even be… above average. For Tanares Adventures. #miniaturepainting #tanaresadventures

I have put off painting my Conquistador heroes for, um… 2 years now. Finally getting some paint on them and their bases. In the background: a Spectre for Tanares Adventures that’s only waited a year for some paint. Stay tuned to see if I actually finish them! #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone

Today: some very average Steelheart Djinn for Conquest. Revel in the overly enthusiastic application of Vallejo Templar White. Right after I finished these, I changed my list an don’t need them for my next game. Of course. #miniaturepainting #conquestlastargumentofkings

Farging rank and flank games. It is so hard to paint 16 of the same minis all at once after years of skirmish games. 16 is like… one more than an entire 300 point Infinity army. #miniaturepainting #conquestsorcererkings #infinity #workinprogress
16 sorcerer king Dhanur Disciple archers for Conquest: Last Argument of Kings. Work in progress.

The trick is to put on a holiday rom-com that even the writers slept through, then you can paint away without worrying you’re going to miss anything. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone #conquest

The hand both painteth and addeth to the pile of shame. The pile was down 75 for the year, then I bought 27 more. Still - Escape From Stalingrad Z for $50 is a steal... and zombies! I’m thinking I’ll use contrast paints for these. #miniaturepainting #rayboxgames #escapefromstalingradz

Another batch of “little plastic guys” as my wife calls them. This time, Efreet Flamecasters for Conquest. I tend to paint minis following the box art because I buy minis as much for the color schemes as the sculpts. Enjoy some flame flingin’ djinn. #miniaturepainting #conquestlastargumentofkings
Efreet Flamecasters for my Sorcerer Kings faction.

Plastic is fine, but there’s nothing like a miniature that weighs as much as a pipe wrench. The first of my Black Friday purchases to arrive: a Tunguska Zalamandra for my Nomads. Big chonky boy. #miniaturepainting #infinity

OMG. I remember why I’ve been olaying (and painting) skirmish games. Also, why people use speed paints. I present to you 4 Rajakur infantry fully painted to “army quality” for Conquest. An equal number of Ghols await. Oof. #miniaturepainting #conquestsorcererkings #alotoflittledudestopaint

I took some time from painting to whip a basic painting handle to replace some of my 25 year old paint bottles that I’ve been using. I call it “Yet Another Paint Handle” or YAPH. Available on Thingiverse soon. #miniaturepainting #3dprinting #openscad

I took a break from painting to assemble this big fella - a Mahut for Conquest: Last Argument of Kings. As is my style, it was very averagely assembled, with several pieces not quite fitting perfectly. (And not due to the manufacturer.) #miniaturepainting #conquest

Before: miniature ruined with flaky haze from malfunctioning spray matte sealer. After: I brushed on a couple of coats of Vallejo satin varnish and the result, while not perfect, has been salvaged for the tabletop. @gleefulgecko.com - you can sleep tonight knowing the result!

Sometimes… shit happens. Was very proud of my paint job on these Trederran Dragonfire miniatures for Shadows of Brimstone. Then, my matte varnish spray turned white. Holy hell. Next post: recovery attempts! #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone
