How’s this for a slick little tree? This creepy old tree was liberated from my son’s Lego box. It started out life as a piece from a Lego knock off brand. It came in a giant orc head with a bunch of not-Lego orcs. It’s the perfect size for...

There’s nothing too spectacular about these orcs.  They’ve got green skins just in case the Warmaster bug ever bites and a fire emblem that fits just about anywhere.  This latest load brings the orc population of my figure case up to a whopping 18,  including three spear-orcs, four bow-orcs...

These wizards I’ve are them because, because, because, because, because…because of the wonderful paint job I does. TFAN45 The guy on the right started out his life as a warrior monk, but his spear broke off, so he’s now a wizard with a short staff. TSAM10...

This first batch was ordered to add a few heavily armored figures to the player character options, but they just didn’t have enough personality for it.  Instead I painted them as the local town guard NPCs.  That would be a black tower on a golden field on the shields....

UPDATED MARCH 29 – SEE BELOW While trolling the seas of the internet for a fish of rules worthy enough to grace my table, I’ve been drifting in and out of the role-playing game blog-community.  Today I discovered a little thing called the One Page Dungeon contest. “I can...

First order of Irregular Miniatures came in today, and they look like a lot of fun.  These unpainted lead shots are for other people’s reference.  One quirky thing about collecting 10mm figures is that very few manufacturers have their whole line photographed and available on their websites.  Personally, that...

This is the last of the Copplestone Heroes pack TM10.  Each guy has so much character, they really were a joy to paint.  Here are two different dwarf styles – one rugged outdoor type and a more urban armored stunty.  The dwarf in blue is now the only heavily...

Three fierce warriors for your approval.  Once again, these are Copplestone figures.  The big warriors of TM10 all look fairly wild and uncultured.  You might go so far as to call them barbarians, but the modern university sensibilities prefer that you use the term ‘blood thirsty brutes with poor impulse control’....

Get it?  Because these are 100mm halfling figures.  It’s a ‘short’ update!  Heh. Hey, they can’t all be winners, right?  For the record, the guy on the left is mis-cast.  He’s missing his lower left arm.  On the table top you can’t really tell.  It’s only when you look...

From the excellent Copplestone Castings line, this is TM10, Heroes and Halflings. The flame wizard on the right is a bit of a conversion on my part.  He looks to be Copplestone’s not-Faramir, or at least a bow wielding assassin.  Thing is, wizards are in short supply in this...
