Reaper Minis Bring Bingo!

 That's it! I did it!

Oh, I suppose you want to see the painted miniatures too, for proof? Ok, ok, fine. Here they are.


A monk and an... utterly massive dog. Seriously, I ordered that on a whim and had no idea he was that huge. The monk could use the dog as a mighty steed, probably.

Kind of a random couple of minis, but they were fun to paint. And I achieved a bingo! What's next? Whatever I want, I suppose. Feels a bit anti-climactic to be honest!

Orktober? Kind of.

 Short post here, but another square on the bingo sheet, for painting a miniature that's gone unpainted for a year or more!

In this case, it's probably more like ten years, this guy has been sitting around for... a while.

Still, more progress every time. And plenty of time left to score a bingo.

Hero Quest Expansion Done!

 Like the title says, about a week ago I finished painting up the hero quest expansion, The Jungles of Delthrak. Michelle and I actually painted this one together, which was a lot of fun. 


A small caveat: we didn't paint the gem or fire, because Michelle really likes them as they are. And so they stay that way.

Either which way, that's two bingo squares!

Getting pretty close!

Been a While (One More Time)

 Life: it gets busy. In mostly good ways, I should say, I've had lots of good times with family, I'm involved in the local production of Into the Woods, my job is going well. But it's busy, and I kept forgetting to update here. But now that changes!

Going to keep it simple for now, though. The main thing for today is another bingo square! In this case, it's the Paint a New Starter Set square. Now, I'll admit that it's not the biggest set of them all:

 But it still counts! (It's the new beginner set for Age of Sigmar which I picked up on a bit of a whim)

I ended up going with a bit of a challenge for these guys, I decided to paint using (almost) only the six paints that came with the set. And I'm pretty happy with them! The bases and the wash are the only non set paints.

So that's the update for today. Hopefully there will genuinely be more soon.

Stargrave? Stargrave!

 I've had these guys painted for a while but I keep forgetting to post them! Stargrave crew!


I love the alien heads, the world needs more alien/non human sci fi miniatures.

And that means another bingo box! Wooo!

No bingo yet, but it's fun seeing the board fill up.

Shieldmaiden Update

 Just a brief one here, but I got them all painted!


Four archers, four slings, four axes, and a leader, and just plain fun to paint.

I did try some new paint things for them, so I'm counting this as that space for bingo. Hey, my bingo, my rules.

Next? Who knows!

Spring Break!

Rather, my niece and nephews had spring break, which was nice, because it meant that they could come up to visit and hang out and paint with their strange uncle! And thus we did.




We painted some hero quest figures, and my nephew brought up a few miniatures of his own (Tau and Necron guys, I believe) that he's been gifted. The ones pictured he painted, and he even gave them snowy and icy bases of his own design! A good time overall.

A few days later we got in a game of Fireteam, the Kill Team lite that I actually prefer. My second oldest nephew and I played, and the game ended in a tie. (There's a mechanism for settling ties, but we decided to leave it that way)

Fun times for all, and also two bingo squares. Though in this case that's the least important part.
