Painted a classic #heroquest skellington this weekend. Have a bunch painted already but it’s not like you can ever have too many skellys. It’s actually a fun sculpt to paint, there’s a lot of implied details that you can bring out if you feel like spending the time.

He’s only bones.

First mini of 2026! The fearsome looking bandit in the center, by Midlam Miniatures. I painted her mainly to be used in my #Oathmark army. I photographed her here with a few soldiers from Northstar Miniatures to demonstrate how well she fits the vibe, as does the rest of Midlam’s line.

Finished the second Fimir from my classic #Heroquest box. Such a strange quirky model to paint. Won’t paint another unless I decide to play the Kellars Keep expansion someday. Painting stone dungeon tiles on the flat integrated bases is a fun challenge, a bit tedious at times, but worth the effort.

A classic #HeroQuest goblin. This one’s special though. He has joined my #Frostgrave warband to help loot and pillage the frozen city. That’s why there’s snow on his base. His name is Grub. Sometimes he also shows up in Hero Quest “The Frozen Horror” expansion quests.

Fun fact; if you ever want to paint Hero Quest hero minis the exact color they were before you painted them, Pro Acryl Burnt Red is the way to go. “I can’t believe it’s not plastic!”

Fimir! Some more classic heroquest. Painted just today. Such an epic looking creature design. This monsters has been waiting since 1989 for a paint job. Hopefully I did it justice!

I’ve been chasing these for a long time, finally found them for a reasonable price. The original Heroquest: Barbarian Quest minis. They need a little tlc and some superglue but I think they will paint up nicely.

WIP. I have another weird Rogue Trader era tank. It’s about 80% painted. Needs decals and final highlights. This tank was pictured in the RT rulebook (picture included here). Has it appeared anywhere else? I added a dozer and some other bits to make it look a little more 40K and a little less Joe.

I built this kit from BMT miniatures. It’s based on an illustration from the original Rogue Trader book. I have to have ALL the tanks for my guard! I green stuffed in the gaps, now it just needs paint. Anyone know what this tank is called? I can’t find any information other than the illustration.

Zap and Glerb visit the human’s trading post. Zap is hoping to score a battery pack for his pilfered lasgun but is instead tricked into buying a broken Zenith television. Glerb just tagged along to see what a human looks like, he decides humans are very suspicious and buys nothing.
