The Halfling

I just had to paint this little guy. He is just barely 2cm high. One of the
most frustrating miniatures I have ever painted. He looks better when you don't see him magnified.

Action shot, I was trying to make it like he was moving.

Emily's Castle


A little project me and Emily are working on.

Once upon a time a lizard lived in a tower guarded by 5 knights. When one day
someone stole the treasure from the tower.
The lizard went out to find the treasure.


While the lizard was away a fierce nasty killer rabbit moved in...



The Lizard returned with what he thought were
Kung Fu Pandas.
 
 

The Rabbit quickly attacked the Pandas
with all his rabbity fury.
 

 
One by one he dispatched the pandas.
 
 

 
In a rage he chased away the pandas.

 
The three surviving pandas left in disgrace. The lizard was
no where to be seen. But the tresure was back in the castle...

The Dwarf Cavalry are done!!

The cavalry are done! I tell ya I like painting metal, and painting these old style mini's.
It seems easier to bring out the details with just shading and a real basic style of painting.

Dwarven Jousting Tourney

Yes. I built a jousting field for Dwarves. The Dwarf riders haven't arrived yet, but they will be cool.
I will be using modified rules from TSR's Chainmail rules from 1975...

Stage 1: fence, grass, worn area where jousters shall joust.

The little tents are made using templates from Wargames illustrated.
