Last few hours for the Kickstarter! tinyurl.com/b38k8jub Witch Hunters; either noble heroes protecting the innocent from dark forces, or power-hungry sadists, spreading pain and fear. All a matter of opinion, I guess... I tend to think of them as a mixed bunch, personally.

Here's a few more painted versions of the new minis in our current Burrows & Badgers Kickstarter. Some heavily armoured beasties, ideal for Routiers and Royalists... or Freebeasts, Witch Hunters, etc. :) OK, probably not Hillfolk, Undead, or Wildlings, I admit! ;) KS linky: tinyurl.com/b38k8jub

Here's a few more painted versions of the new minis in our current Kickstarter. Three village militia types and three undead beasties... :) KS linky: tinyurl.com/b38k8jub

Our new Kickstarter is live... (well, it went live yesterday, and I'm just very bad at social media...) Burrows & Badgers: Reinforcements tinyurl.com/b38k8jub Here's a few painted examples. :)

I've finished painting a dreadnought for my Mentors... it's the modern Ballistus Redemptor model, but I've chopped it up a bit to make it more '3rd ed boxnought' style. Made a nice change from painting infantry! :) #3rded #3rd40k #40k3rd #40k3e #40kthird #wh40k #mentors #mentorlegion #spacemarine

We're finally going to do a Kickstarter for some new Burrows & Badgers releases! We're keeping it simple; just a single 'All-in' Pledge level. We're expecting to launch on the 31st, and here's a link so you can sign up to be notified: tinyurl.com/b38k8jub

I've finally got my first 400 points of Mentor Legion marines finished! And painted one, lonely, Imperial Guardsman... lots more of those to go! And I've started on Terminators, & I've converted a Ballistus Redemptor to look more 3rd ed worthy... hopefully I'll get some paint on that soon! :)

This week I have mostly been testing new moulds... and the good news is, they all work! So we should have a new release ready very soon. Here's one of them - a badger with a banner. :) #burrowsandbadgers #anthro #tabletop #oathsworn

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Some Marines... I planned Crimson Fists, but after painting two, I found I didn't really enjoy painting their colour scheme. So I've switched to Mentor Legion instead, and gone for a very dirty, weathered look. First 7 models done; 5 Tacticals, 1 Razorback, and 1 Scout.

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Some of the Burrows & Badgers minis that we'd hoped to release at Salute... they're a bit delayed, but we should have all the moulding issues fixed very soon. Here's three Stable Ghasts, and five Witch Hunters. Natural enemies, I reckon... :) #burrowsandbadgers #WIPwednesday #tabletop #oathsworn

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

We'd planned some new releases for Salute next week, but we're out of time, sadly... We'll either do them straight-to-webstore, or maybe a short Kickstarter. Anyway, here's a few of them. A Cocker Spaniel with a Heavy Crossbow, & three Raw recruit/Village militia types; frog, black rat, & weasel.

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Salute 53 is next Saturday, at Excel London! Jo & Lizzie will be at stand TB11, selling minis, with me & Finn at GA13. At GC09, Tim Eagling will have a couple of tables, one for Burrows & Badgers, & one for Arcworlde. Tim's award-winning games are always worth a look! Hope we see you there... :)

I thought I'd jump on the 'art vs artist' bandwagon to show that it's not all been spin-casting and packing orders this year, and I have actually done some creative stuff! Here's some of the minis which will be off for moulding early next year. #artvsartist #artvsartist2025 #burrowsandbadgers

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Happy Christmas everyone! Jo's at home, slaving over a hot stove, & I'm at the workshop, slaving over a hot casting machine. Here's the obligatory festive image, featuring hobby hero, educator extraordinaire, and part-time pirate, Tim Eagling, checking out the 2nd edition Burrows & Badgers rules.

This big guy was supposed to be finished last week, for National Badger Day. Stuff kept getting in the way. But it's still Brocktober (definitely a thing, I'm sure), so here he is! :) #burrowsandbadgers #animal #furry #anthropomorphic #anthro #sculpting #greenstuff #oathsworn

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Another 3 sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Witch Hunter Hare, a Hillfolk Clanbeast Shrew, & an Illuminator-Sargeant Weasel. Maybe they'll even get released before the end of the year! Probably not, given the way things are going... still, there's always Salute next April! ;)

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

My first attempt at a Maschinen Kreiger build. It's a Mk1 SAFS kit (Nitto series 4), with the addition of a couple of fake nails, and lots of putty!

0281

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Three more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - these are Routiers, from General Alban deBrandt's Freebeast mercenary army. A hedgehog, and a couple of mice. The hedgehog's inspired by a sketch Peter Johnston did (great illustrator - if you have a project needing art, hire him! :) ) #burrowsandbadgers

0235

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Two more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Mole warrior-priest for the Witch Hunters, and a Squirrel Stable Ghast for the Undead. Natural enemies! :) #burrowsandbadgers #characterdesign #anthropomorphic #anthro #rpg #wargames #sculpting #greenstuff #oathsworn #miniatures

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Building a MaK SAFS... I've made a base, which TBH doesn't really add anything, so I'll probably lose that. And the pistol's not really working either... I'll see how it goes. Insignia next, followed by the fun bit - weathering! :) #paintonplasticmakcomp2025 #maschinenkrieger

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

This is one of those models which I really like in hand, but struggle to find a good photo angle for... Black Rat Kindred Knight, for Burrows & Badgers. #burrowsandbadgers #animal #furry #anthropomorphic #anthro #dnd #sculpting #greenstuff #oathsworn #miniatures #sculptingminiatures #tabletop

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

Here's a quick teaser pic of what I've been sculpting lately; (left to right) Black Rat Kindred Knight, Mole Warrior Priest, Squirrel Stable Ghast Magic-user. Hedgehog Routier, Weasel Illuminator-Sergeant, Mouse Routier 1. Mouse Routier 2, Hare Witch Hunter, Hillfolk Clan Shrew. #burrowsandbadgers

Obligatory Salute map... but we're much easier to find this year! Just walk straight in and look for the Warlord stand on your right. Then walk past to our stand next to them! We have the book, two starter Bands, Rosters, a 'getting started' thing, White Mouse mini, & Otter knight mini, for £100.

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

I meant to put this one in my last post, but forgot... here's the two starter bands, getting released this month. (The objective markers in the previous post are included as well.) #burrowsandbadgers #oathsworn #miniatures #tabletop #anthro #anthropomorphic

313415

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

A Royalist Hound knight, and some objective markers... all Bands need three objective markers in the new version of Burrows & Badgers. It can be fun to make your own, but we've done these just to make it easy to get started. #burrowsandbadgers #oathsworn #anthro #miniatures

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

A couple of Rogues, (Weasel and Little Owl) which will be part of the new Starter Bands, to be released at Salute at the Excel London, on the 12th April. And on the webstore, shortly after. :) #burrowsandbadgers

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

A couple of Royalist squires, ready to provide support to their Knights: Delfort Swiftpad, Rabbit, One Handed Weapon, Bow, Buckler. And Marley Grumbert, Mouse, One Handed Weapon, Bow, Buckler. These will be in the new Starter Bands, released (hopefully!) at Salute in April. #burrowsandbadgers

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Burgess Latigert, cat. He's from the new starter Rogues band, hopefully getting released in April at Salute. Spear and Tangle Net. Should be a fun one to use in the game! :) #burrowsandbadgers

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

An alternative colour scheme on that very heavily armoured otter... this one's for my demo table at Salute. I'm calling him 'The Red Knight' for obvious reasons! :) #burrowsandbadgers

1362

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

The leader for the new starter Rogues band, hopefully getting released in April at Salute. Two paint schemes, because I realised I needed one for the display cabinet, and one for the demo table! #burrowsandbadgers #anthropomorphic #anthro #tabletoprpg #wargaming #wargames #miniatures #oathsworn

29610

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

A couple of otters... both heavily armoured, but one looks like a psychotic killing machine and the other looks a bit more friendly. He'd probably still poke you with his spear if you diss the Reinerts, though; the Royalists are like that! :) #burrowsandbadgers #anthro #wargames #oathsworn #tabletop

1394

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

As people have been asking, yes, we will be selling the new Burrows & Badgers rulebook on our webstore once it is released (we're still on with editing at the moment!), and yes, there will be a bonus mini. Here's mine, as a green, and painted; the mysterious White Mouse... :) #burrowsandbadgers

2748

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

The leaders of a couple of Burrows & Badgers bands fight it out... Royalists v Rogues! I reckon the fox would've preferred a little more distance between them; a couple of shots from that caliver would really tip the balance... :) #burrowsandbadgers #animal #anthropomorphic #miniatures #oathsworn

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

I’m going to finally build & paint some Crimson Fists. I’ve been planning this project for a years… it’s actually for 3rd edition 40K! I’m going to start small, with a 400 point list. Two done: a Scout, and a Tactical Sergeant. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #crimsonfists

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

And here’s the last two, a couple of moles. A Mole smith and a Mole seeress. And that’s everything painted! Except for the next ten I’ve sculpted, of course. It never ends… :) #burrowsandbadgers #animal #furry #anthropomorphic #anthro #tabletop #rpg

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

It’s taken ten years, but I’ve finally painted every miniature in the Burrows & Badgers range! I had four left to paint – here’s the first two of them. The Shrew cook and the Kingfisher warrior. #burrowsandbadgers #animal #furry #anthropomorphic #anthro #tabletop #rpg

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

I'm reposting stuff from Twitter! :) Last one for today - a leader for my Stormhost for AoS... so that's one leader, and one Vindictor unit done. And about 3500 points' worth still unbuilt in boxes. I'll get there one day! #onlythefaithful #stormcasteternals #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity

Not much hobby going on at the moment... so I'm reposting stuff from Twitter! :) Painting tartan again... a Wildcat Clanbeast for the Hillfolk Clans in Burrows & Badgers. Second pic shows all the Clanbeasts so far.

Not much hobby going on at the moment... so I'm reposting stuff from Twitter! :) Just for a bit of a change, I painted some gretchin; ready for my Crimson Fists to slaughter... Really enjoyed these! #WarhammerCommunity

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Not much hobby going on at the moment... so I'm reposting stuff from Twitter! :) This badass hare was a freebie from our last Kickstarter. He's been getting plenty of table time since then leading my Burrows & Badgers band.

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Not much hobby going on at the moment... so I'm reposting stuff from Twitter! :) Two Kroxigor, testing the colours for my next army... an original 5th ed WHFB metal, & a current AoS plastic one. I've tried to do them both in a similar colour scheme. #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity

Michael Lovejoy @michael-lovejoy.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Not much hobby going on at the moment... so I'm reposting stuff from Twitter! :) Some Burrows & Badgers civilians. They're not very civil, though!
