Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

Belated photo of a Tilean warband I did earlier in the year - mostly using the John Blanche paint sets. Some nice dark reds and tealy blues in there. Probably more fleshy/browny washes than anyone needs, but. For mordheim/forbidden psalm etc

Meridian miniatures big boney lad done. Probably for necropolis but maybe some silver bayonet/ forbidden psalm appearances too. I never knowingly make a scene overly bright.

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social ghouls. Those guys just wanna have fun (but their fun is sucking your eyeballs out your skull, ripping off your arms and beating your screaming body to death with said limbs)

Painted up some Bad Squiddo ghouls in between other things

More progress today in the Meridian Miniatures big skelly boi. Trying to push contrast at the edges of all the various materials and ruffs to give some definition as well as trying to add scratchy sackcloth etc texture where it seemed right

Often, for undaunted courage, fate spares the man it has not already marked. (Just as often it casts his sword hand separately). Our fantastic new Beowulf model by Paul Muller - hopefully in the shop this weekend!

Okay, scenery building (caves, in this case, but applicable to all manner of foam builds) using readily available DIY materials? A 🧵

Meridian miniatures Necropolis Priests. Finished and after some faff photographed to an ok standard. For some reason my camera phone really not doing it detail and crispness wise.

thread of how to scratchbuild a cave? okay then.

1) leftover Styrofoam packing, roughly cut to shape and size, separated into several interlocking pieces as it needs to fit inside our existing display cases. purple worm for scale!
just imagine this miniature homage to 1e AD&D is finished and not just a rushed dry mockup in a spare hour between hospital runs and food prep

Final griming step on the priests and then done. Bar working out what to do with their bases.
October 17, 2025 at 2:27 PM
So that's the two tumbling dice starter fleet packs done. Might need some infills/extras

Making things is cool. And it’s quite surprising what you can make.

Some Maskwitches art made out of things and stuff.

Plinking away at the Necropolis Priests. Highlighting varying shades of black (without getting grey) is ... challenging

As any military strategist knows, port cities are always particularly vulnerable to amphibian assault.
