My next #frostgrave wandering monster is something i had in a #ttcombat random box that I plan to substitute for a toad. Could also be used as a javelineer. I painted him like a poison dart frog because it seemed like the obvious choice. I love how he came out, wearing Furs for the cold.

The next #Frostgrave wandering creature i completed was an old #wizardsofthecoast #chainmail miniature that I loved. I really like the old chaonmail line and thought he'd be great for the white gorilla. Went heavy on the washes and extremely happy with this mad ape!

Next on my #frostgrave wandering monsters list was the large Golem. He is the #reaperminiatures Golem with a beard i added in green stuff. I wanted him to look like he'd been created by a dwarf. I made the colour scheme played into that also. Love this miniature. So much character and a real joy!

My next #frostgrave wandering monster is this old warhammer daemon prince. I bought it back in the days of the Realm of Chaos box. I love this guy hes got that traditional devil/demon look. Hes also the first "big guy" miniature i ever bought and pinned. Only 30 years later have I now painted him.

Did some ghouls for my #frostgrave wandering monster table. I've had these ghouls since they released these plastics like 20 years ago. I preferred their look over the metals from the previous iteration. So yeh these predate AOS ' Flesheater courts. I picked a simple but effective colour scheme.

Carrying on with my #frostgrave wandering monsters, I decided to do a miniature that could be used as a lesser demon but also a genie. Also I made a treasure token to. Represent the lamp ore vessel. Was happy overall but I do need to watch a fee more tutorials on games to be happy with my technique!

My first big beastie from my #frostgrave wandering creatures table is the #reaperbones worm. I really enjoyed this one, I asked the misses for advise on the skin colour and we went with a really contrasting magic look. Seeped with magic from the earth its a turquoise/purple. Great fun to paint!

Next up of the #frostgrave menagerie miniatures my key masters of the Red King. Love the look of these guys, had to get them ASAP. I went with 2 different shades of red, poppy and slaughter to define parts lf their outfit. They came out great. I am really happy with how cool they look.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Next on the list for wild encounters in #frostgrave were some wolves. I'd grabbed a frame of the #oathmark wolves from #northstarfigures range. I liked how big and burly they looked. I'm pretty happy with them but I know i could work on the Kimberwolf type colours and make the blending better!

0263

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Next up on my #frostgrave random creatures encounters are vapour snakes and blood waves. I wanted to try and capture the feel of the mana eels from warcraft. I tried the Strong Base colours then dry brushed ivory over that to try and capture that whispy feel.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

My next lot of #frostgrave minis that I did were some cats and dogs. The wild dogs were lovely to paint up and I went with an Irish wolf hound look and dry brushed up lighter shades. The Phase cats are for the Maze of Malcor scenarios and I tried to do the same as the official paint job.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

More from my #frostgrave creatures. The bases look great against the red and oranges of the imps. One of the creatures entries is multiple imps, and these guys come from a couple of places. GW Wood elves, OG Huron Blackheart and mantic abyssal. They look great in the red definitely.

0225

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Next on my #frostgrave backlog i painted up some minor constructs that reminded me of #Zoids from back in the 90s. Also finished up the 2 official mushroom men, loved these guys. Got different versions from a few companies to try in thr future! Happy with how they bases came out too.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

After painting burrows and badgers for a while, I fancied a change of pace and using #ontabletop's spring clean challenge to give my pike of opportunity some time in the sun. I latched onto my frostgrave stuff. All the bits I'd bought over the last few years and got cracking. Basilisk first!

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

My grubs "hounds" for my witch hunters warband in #oathswornminiatures' #burrowsandbadgers. The grubs look great complete and all matching. They are great miniatures, full of character , totally individual. Hopefully be helpfull in game. Fingers crossed.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

My last of the witch hunters #burrowsandbadgers from #oathswornminiatures . The fox was great, my first fox. Really enjoyed trying to capture the contrasts of the x̌ðfoxes fur. Pretty happy with.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Myweasel zealot for #burrowsandbadgers from ##oathswornminiatures . This guy was great fun to paint, I loved the robe, great bit of shading opportunity there. And may have over done it with the dried blood on the flail. Made him really grim and dark. Love it.

0111

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Another witch hunter for my #burrowsandbadgers warband from #oathswornminiatures. I loved the use of the grubs as the "warhounds" with these guys. This guy is the shrew, grub wrangler and was a joy to paint. Looking up grubs was interesting. Took a while to get the colour scheme i was happy with.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

The second of my witch hunters from #oathswornminiatures' #burrowsandbadgers. I wanted a darker fur mouse this time as I've done lighter mice so far, also gives him a heavier more menacing feel. He was great fun to paint up. I really enjoyed painting up the leather coats it has to be said!

081

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

This is the first of my witch hunters from #oathswornminiatures' #burrowsandbadgers. This is the first hedgehog I've painted in the b&b range, and I really enjoyed it. Another guy full of character and im really happy how he looks. I'm still not sure of painting fire. Another thing to work on!

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

This is my attempt at Weekah Tegalega, raccoon hunter from #oathswornminiatures' #burrowsandbadgers. I absolutely love this miniature, she was a must get. Trying my hand at painting the raccoon part wasn't easy, but am really happy how she turned out. Lots of greys and black.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

My third #redwall take on some #oathsworn #burrowsandbadgers miniatures. This awesome mouse miniature evokes that father abbot or methuselah thoe character. Was another fun one to paint up. I love how he turned out.

1121

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

My second of my #redwall themed #Burrowsandbadgers by ##oathswornminiatures. This nun mouse character was calling out to be painted as cornflower. Such a nice paint ahe was too. Really a lovely miniature and came out pretty well. Chuffed with her!

0221

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

My first of my #redwall inspired #burrowsandbadgers paint job miniatures. I really enjoyed painting this guy. His happy energy ran through my painting of him I feel. I've realised i love painting the moles from #Oathsworn my bias is showing lol!

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Picture the beginning of a fist full of dollars and clint eastwood sees a mexican woman. They are #perryminiatures from the Carlist war range, I've fancied using as civilians for #deadmanshand for use in mexican villages. They were lovely to paint up and I really wanted to add a fair bit of colour!

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

These #beyondthegatesofAntares miniatures I liked the idea of using them for support staff, or even for the matriarch to be some sort of criminal sponsor like Jabba the Hutt. I have always liked the look of the Beyond Antares miniatures, the Algoryn and Boromites have always appealed the most.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

The latest miniature completed for #greatescapegames' ##deadmanshand is the delorean from back to the future as it was in back to the future 3 with part exposed under tarp. The Blacksmiths carriage, you could say. I so enjoyed painting this as it was a slightly different piece for dead mans hand.

The mounted US Cavalry kickstarter from #greatescapegames for ##deadmanshand just came this afternoon. Man excited is an understatement. Cannot wait to put these together and get them on the painting table. Aiming to have them as Buffalo Soldiers .also have some perry ACW I'll do at the same.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Characters painted up from the US Cavalry kickstarter by #greatescapegames for #deadmanshand. I'm really pleased with these guys, my particular favourite is Sgt Wyatt Glover. He'll go great with my Buffalo Soldiers. All full of character.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

The plastic US Cavalry on foot from ##greatescapegames for ##deadmanshand. I absolutely enjoyed putting these together and painting them up. Think they came out really well. I wanted to highlight the undershirts and braces. Love the addition of the beagles, I used my neighbours dog for inspiration.

Group of 10 US Cavalry Miniatures on foot with 2 beagles. Painted to tabletop standard.

Couple of bits I painted alongside my US Cavalry Kickstarter when it came. Delores I ordered to come with it too and the horses are for raids and things. Think they all came out well. Was happy with Olivia dru's dress. Was annoyed by 1 of the paints on the painted course bleeding a bit.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Realised I hadn't put up the Fellowship my brother commissioned last year! He had a set of the plastic #lotr #mesbg Fellowship and got me to paint them for him. I was really happy with the outcome of these. Really put in as much effort and detail as I could to impress him lol.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

A basic perry ACW frame that I've painted up as union. I can use them for ACW if I get i to it properly, or as reconstruction union or as plains infantry in a pinch. They are a nice easy bunch to make and paint. Pretty happy with them.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

My covered wagon for #deadmanshand. I'm really pleased how this came out, so many of the painting effects come through and show the great quality of the miniature. Great escape did an epic job on a really evocative and stylish miniature kit. This is one of my favourite things in Ve painted yet!

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

My painted Zees team for #dreadball i finished recently. Really like them and thr scheme not far from what I painted thr MVP about a decade ago lol. Scheme is based on a 1999 planet of the apes soldiers armour. Really happy with them, shame they're so small its hard to see all those little details!

0111

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

A plastic depth horror from #mantic I've had for years. Lots of layers of wash over this guy. Doesn't look too bad. I use him for things like #draculasamerica, #Ghostarchipelago and anything with a bit of #Cthulhu.

0152

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Mounted characters for #deadmanshand. Really enjoyed painting these. Really love painting the great escape plastic horses. These are lee van kickstarter, john bridges and Ely Fergus. Enjoyed painting them all

0233

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

My "professor", El Rayo and Chinese civilians for #deadmanshand the professor was great to paint. The Chinese civilians have so much character, they look great. My favourite is El Rayo, love a mexican character in westerns. Sucha. Cool miniature.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

My finished gunfighters 2 for #deadmanshand I'd use these as daughters of the west. The paint schemes are loosely based on the women of the Vanderlind gang. I love the miniatures. The plastics are great fun to put together and are so full of character. Really happy with these as a posse!

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Getting inspired to paint my next batch of #dreadball and characters so went through my box and loads of teams and MVPs. I forget what I've painted and who I've based schemes off sometimes. Definitely Rinzler and Quorra, plus gold news read from Orion and Blinky from #BuckyO'hare.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

My painted up Pinkertons and Butch and Sundance for #deadmanshand. Really enjoyed painting these. Pretty proud of the trenchcoats on the pinkertons and getting Butch and sundance to look like they have the right outfits took a few watches of the film. Shame aye 😉

0161

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

My painted up #deadmanshand Buffalo Soldier add-ons, extras from the gunfighters and gunfighters 2. Really liked painting them. Wanted to keep the plastic ones as different from the main posses I put together of them.

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

My shan-meeg Starhawk team for #dreadball painted up. As they are Asterians i didn't want to do any old dpace elvesor eldar themed colours. I went with inspiration fr9m babylon 5 and tried to paint them up like G'kar and Narns. Skin should have been a bit more orange maybe.

071

Mysticsforge @mysticsforge.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Saloon raiders and Stagecoach Mary, plus a vampiress from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social. I really enjoyed painting up these well dressed ladies and the challenge of silkyish garments for the vampire for my old west games. Mary came with an info card that was really cool, nice drawing on it too.

Just seen I've been given a runner up award in the #ontabletop Community awards for painting so much of my dreadball stuff. I did enjoy painting them and I think that has helped. Also I should probably keep using one name for everything, I've used Gaiseric08 since I left school.
