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.

True. I always try to make at least one model in a group “different” so if I have to select a leader or something, it’s easy to identify. Totally on accident here though!

She’s my fave, followed by the prince with a sword through his body. BTW, where’d you get the model in your pic. It’s perfect!

The SoB Hungry Dead are all Western, but for Cynder, I wanted something a little more cosmopolitan. lol. If I find any Viking or Conquistador ghosts, I should try to add them into the mix!

I tried mixing in some Vallejo Fluorescent Green on a couple models (you can tell in the pic), but it was too much for what I was looking for. I’ve added Fluorescent Green before though on other pieces and it looks great there.

Anythingbutwarhammer’s secret Ghost Juice: Paint over white primer using Vallejo Game Color Verde Gris as a base. Then, mix 3-4 drops of Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Pastel Seafoam with 1-2 drops of Vallejo Game Green wash. Apply liberally.

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
HollowMen and Heckler miniatures for Infinity.

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.

Working on some floating crates for Carnevale while my wife finishes crocheting her last sweater of the winter - and none too soon! #carnevale #miniaturepainting #ttcombat

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.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
For Carnevale, coming up in a couple weeks, I am going to use foamcore and hand cut MDF with some 3d printed things like arches and doors. The paper terrain for it looks great, but the PDFs look like they need to print on 11x17 paper.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
For Infinity, it’s necessary to have a crowded table … or you get killed. And yes, good terrain makes for more fun. More immersion, too.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
Yes. I glue the paper to foamboard. They hold up really well that way. I have some I’ve been using for Infinity for over 3 years about every week.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 03/05/2026
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.

A fine Sunday morning. Painting Carnevale miniatures and watching the extended cut of Stargate. #miniaturepainting #carnevale #ttcombat
View over my paint desk to the TV with Stargate showing.

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

Hmmm. I just realized the camera focused on the Enemy card and. It the minis. Enjoy the 2006 potato quality of the mini part of the picture.

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
Shadows of Brimstone Trederran Banshee Shock Troopers with their horrible sonic weapons.

Their new Warcrow minis (Mount haven) are all Unicool. I think that’s my new favorite non-metal, non-PVC material

I don’t miss big metal TAGs, but I do love the normal sized metal minis. They feel good to hold.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
It’s not like they’re the only ones, but , at least in the states, most people never see metal minis anymore.
020
Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
I’ve noticed that N4 and newer metals are much better than N3 and earlier. That said, I know a lot of people who hate any metal. Which is funny, because a bunch of people hated plastic when it first came out.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
A friend of mine was all excited to take his Maggie to the TAG fight at GenCon… and then they said no TAGs with base sizes over 60mm. lol. She’s a big ‘un.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
These are some of my first. I’ve built out Nomads and O-12, so time for something new. After Nomads, in particular, I am looking forward to some shooty guys.

In case anyone was wondering, “white pewter” was what they called the first post-lead metal. Ral Partha had it on all their blister packs. lol.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
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

Just saw this! Usually, I prime black and do a white dry brush so it’s easier to see the details to paint. I used to do white primer on everything, but now I choose based on the final colors. I am either wiser, or i got tired of painting white crevices.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 17/02/2026
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 feel better, but I may be in the same boat when the next KS arrives.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 15/02/2026
I am not worried. It’s not like I don’t have plenty to paint until then.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 15/02/2026
You, sir, are an incredible optimist. I am planning on Summer 2027 for the next Kickstarter to arrive. We should start a betting pool.

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

Friday night on Valentine’s Day weekend. My wife and I are watching Father Brown and crafting. Finishing up these Deltas for Infinity, while she crochets. True. Love. #miniaturepainting #infinitythegame #valentinesday

Raybox also does Escape from Projekt Reise, which is similar, but Western front and they are doing a kickstarter for a North Africa version at some point this year. Lots of WW2 zombies.

Getting a lot of miniatures finished tonight due largely to the sleep inducing Super Bowl game. Three Securitate and a Puppetactica company for my Infinity Nomads. Celebrate the averageness. #MinaiturePainting #infinitythegame

Thank you! It took me about forever to get a combination of blues and greens I liked. And I’ll try a more subtle shading on the clouds for the djinn archers I’m doing next. lol.

Anything But Warhammer @lunchtime-bc.bsky.social · 06/02/2026
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
