Thanks to everyone for the love on my previous #Stonecast post, really wasn't expecting so many to like my painting of the #Stormcast. So here's another one, this time I've done one of the balista and crew, also thought of adding a touch of gold for certain items like some statues do have.

So I've taken a break from the ratfolk and been having a good witb some #Stormcast, always liked these models but could never find a colour scheme I liked. But I stumbled onto the #Stonecast and I've been enjoying it, fun, silly and very quick and simple. So prepare for more as I continue painting

Opinions needed. I've got 3 trolls im planning to use in #Heroquest, they are painted just need a base. But I'm torn, do I go with their original round base, or the pill shaped ones. I think the pill ones will be easier with positioning on the board, but the round ones do give a more imposing feel.

The rat horde expands. 40 little ratfolk ready to cause chaos for my #Heroquest group.

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

It's been a while, but the ratfolk (skaven) are on the move again, 40 of the little lovelies all built, based and primed ready to paint. These will be making an appearance in #Heroquest once I can sort out a series of quests and can work it into the narrative.

More rats for the rat horde, these little swarms of rats where done with just a quick paint job. And putting all four together will make a formidable sight for my #Heroquest players.

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Another addition to the rat horde, another miniture brought back. Will go well in #Heroquest as a leader of the other rat folk.

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

The rat horde grows once more. Tried some different stuff with this one, and had to make a bit of pipe as placed on a smaller base to fit in with #Heroquest. A newer model than previous ones. And if you look carefully you can see another of the rat horde in progress in the background.

Just a quick little paint job on this Bard for #Heroquest. And why should just the heroes get tunes to help them, when the undead can knock out some bone chilling tunes too 💀 🎶 🎶

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

No rats today, but have been working on making interchangeable "paintings" for one of the #heroquest fireplaces. So ended up painting a couple of "inspired by" paintings, and then had a stupid idea.

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

And what's a rat horde, without a horde of rats. These will be there to run interference against my #heroquest group.

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Just put the finishing touches to the latest edition to the rat horde, and he's a chonky one. It's going to have some fun with my #heroquest group

072

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Just a silly little rat today, but maybe they are important to the #Heroquest group as their holding a key to something, or maybe nothing.

091

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

The rat horde grows. Group shot, two then a close up. With more to come for my #Heroquest group to face.

071

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Looks like there's going to be a rat problem for my #Heroquest group

Day 25 of #advent So an overview Only 1 seasonal themed figure was a bit of a disappointment Can't complain at quantity of figures and the quality was good if a little on the small scale Variety was definitely thin on the ground, no female characters and not much in the way of different races

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Day 24 of #advent And what surprises were kept to the last day.. 2 brigand/cutthroat minitures and 3 pieces of scatter terrain Not exactly what I was expecting Will they #Heroquest the terrain will more than likely get used, the other two not so sure I'll give an overview tomorrow of it all

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Day 23 of #advent Another single today, and its what I can only guess could be the cutthroat/pirate leader, stood with tactical barrel this time Will it #Heroquest, again with the other ones they will be very situational on use, so can't see it right now 1 day left, and only 1 seasonal miniture

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Day 22 of #advent Today we have a single dwarf miniture, maybe a leader or noble Will it #Heroquest, this is certainly a maybe, could be used as a proxy for the dwarf character or as an important nps the group has to interact with They are still on the smaller size compared to my normal minitures

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Day 21 of #advent And it looks like its the elves turn in the calendar, as we have 2 more today. One bow, one knives/short swords Will they #Heroquest, as with the couple from the other day, when the group gets close to the elf themed expansion they may get painted up, still smaller scale though

Two elf minitures, one with two knives/short swords thr other with a bow

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Day 20 of #advent And we have a viking (?) standard bearer, on tactical rock Another in the increasing line of what I've decided are vikings (to be fair with the scale they'd pass as dwarves too) Will it #Heroquest, maybe like the other if I decide on a band of them helping/attacking the heroes

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

Day 19 of #advent We have 2 elves today, but no bases 🤔 (but that's a big issue for me). Will they #Heroquest, maybe, they might come in useful as npc's when my group get further. Nice to see another race, but not many festive minitures (so far day one and that's it) and all have been male.

Two elf minitures, one holding a bottle maybe an alchemist, the other is maybe a noble

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Day 18 of #advent And the only surprise today was there are 3 minitures. More of the winter dressed (what I've decided are) dwarves. Is this a case of 3 for the day or is another day missing something. Seemed strange as all were separately bagged 🤔 Will they #Heroquest, not sure right now 🤔

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Day 17 of #advent Two what I'd say are definitely vikings today (so going with yesterdays was as well) Today is the first time we have a broken miniture, should be an easy fix to put the axe back together though, but that all depends if it'll #Heroquest and honestly I can't see it with these two.

Two viking minitures, the one on the right with a broken axe

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Day 16 of #advent And today's we have a shouting(?) dwarf or viking, can't tell with the smaller scale. A dynamic pose, but will it #Heroquest, this will be a situational one. So if I need this pose yes, but otherwise it'll sit unpainted for a long while.

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Thank you so much @ivenne.bsky.social Arrived today, so was a great surprise when I got home from work. You've raised the game for next year 😁 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎁🥳🎊🎁🎈🎉🎄

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Day 15 of #advent We've got 2 evil/corrupted knights (again, sort of) These are slightly different to day 5's, they have tactical rocks to stand on, but we are back to multiples of ones we've already got. Will they #Heroquest, like the previous, but still on a smaller scale to be a good villian.

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Day 14 of #advent And today we have a single dwarf in action pose on a tactical rock. Nicely posed but will it #Heroquest, this ones a maybe, the group dosnt include a dwarf so it wont be used as a alt sculpt, but may be useful in future quests if they have to follow someone into adventure.

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

Day 13 of #advent And today's we have two pirate/cutthroat minitures One needs a fair bit of tidying up, but will they #Heroquest, now I'm not sure on these two. These are the first ones I can't see an immediate use for. Not saying at some point I wont. Also they are all still on a smaller scale.

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Update for day 12 of #advent Here are the two ghosts drybrushed, based and ready for #Heroquest

Two ghost minitures drybrushed and based

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Day 12 of #advent Two clear ghostly minitures Nice minitures today, a light drybrush to bring out the detail in a spooky light blue and these will be perfect. Will they #Heroquest, yes, they could be a ghostly apparition giving the group a warning, or attack them for entering their tomb.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Day 11 of #advent And a genuine surprise... Two tree stumps. Wow, surprised by tree stumps, but its something different and would have liked a couple more of these instead of all the fighters from the first week. Will they #Heroquest, hell yeah, been planning on doing quests outside of dungeons.

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Day 10 of #advent And we have a couple of dwarf fighters. A change from what we've had so far, scale is still a little off for #Heroquest but they will work. Hopefully this means a bit more variety in the coming days, although the face on the first one seems very soft in detail.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Day 9 of #advent And today's surprise is... Two dead orc's. They will definitely #Heroquest as can be used to mark an important dead orc the group may have to search, or to show that something big and bad is ahead. Still small on the scale size, but will work and nice to get something different.

Two dead orc markers for minitures games. ie Heroquest

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Day 8 of #advent And in today's we have a surprise.. Two what in #Heroquest will be about dwarves sized archers in winter gear. So will they #Heroquest, these will more than likely be saved for when the group head towards the Frozen Horror and I can add a little more themed variety into the quests.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Day 7 of #advent and do we have a surprise.. Yes, its a single knight. Yes it is a different(ish) knight, maybe the leader, stood in dynamic pose and on a tactical rock. Will it #Heroquest, more than likely, he could be a special npc, or the leader of the second breakfast gang.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

Day 6 of #advent and you'll never guess the surprise... Yes you guessed it, two more knights 😑 They are slightly different, they have different weapons and no capes, but are otherwise the same. Will they #Heroquest as with the rest probably, at this rate it'll be a small army against our hero's.

Two knights minitures, much the same as the last 5 days.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Day 5 of #advent and the surprise minitures today.... 2 more knights 😑 You definitely get quantity, but some variety would be nice. They are a little different (corrupted/evil) but very much same size and style as the rest. Will they #Heroquest, if i need a dread halfling warrior then yes, just.

Two dread/evil/corrupted knight minitures

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Day 4 of #advent, today we have.... another 2 knights. These are slightly different from the previous 2 days, one needs a bit of hot water treatment, but like the previous 2 days are a little short. Will they #Heroquest, more than likely, maybe added to the ever expanding second breakfast gang.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Day 3 of #advent and at first glance looked like I got doubles already. They are "just" different from yesterdays, (i.e. different poses), but they otherwise are the same. So will they #Heroquest, yeah, it looks like the band looking for second breakfast is getting bigger.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Day 2 of #advent and today's figure or should say figures, are two armoured minitures. Not sure if meant to be knights or guards, but they are a little small on stature. So, will they #Heroquest, yeah could make them out as halfling knights on a noble quest to find second breakfast.

000

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Day 1 of #Advent and this year its full of minitures. So the big question everyday will be "will it #Heroquest"? Today's is what appears to be a Santa paladin. It would probably Heroquest but I've already got a Santa ready for my groups xmas quest.

010

Neil @not-again-with.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

It's Halloween and day 31 of #orctober. I've missed a few days and just finished this one who will be playing Grinchlok in the xmas #Heroquest I have planned for my players.
