This account is solely for the hobby of mini painting. Going for a decent tabletop standard, something that looks good from a distance and didn't take forever.
Adding squealers to Ulix' crew, getting ready for a new 4th ed crew!

Started painting up my Ulix crew for Malifaux with the wild boars cause I was in the mood for some drybrushing. I'll base in bulk when the crew is done, but I need to get my hands on the title Ulix at some point...

Painted up a couple of British Shermans for a future 12mm Chain of Command Market Garden campaign. My freehand needs work and my knowledge of markings is poor, but they're the first vehicles I've painted in 15 years!

Definitely the Calaca Cabala, and probably a few more from the Moote Carlo casino, loving those skellies 😛

I'm also tempted by the Knights of the Squared Circle for the over the top poses and the chance to work on a lot more skin!

Stalled out a bit there at the end, but I had a breakthrough with the skin and now I'm all finished on the Rumbleslam 2p starter set! It was great fun, lovely minis and the box is fantastic value.

Further work on the Heavy Pounders for Rumbleslam, now there's just a few fiddly bits to go like boots and teeth and eyes. Really enjoyed working on these guys, though the struggle with the skin was real!

Did some more work on my second Rumbleslam team, tried to smooth out the skin and bring a bit more depth of color in. I'm feeling good, time to wrap these boys up!
Just the clothes, boots, teeth and hair to go...

I don't have a finished picture saved unfortunately, just this WiP, but Brewmaster rebelled against the indoctrination of the Ten Thunders crime syndicate and instead of infiltrating and controlling the Gremlins for the syndicate he seeks enlightenment through kung fu and high proof whiskey.

I tried highlighting just with lines. I liked it.

What a difference an hour of work makes. Did a wash of thinned Vallejo flesh tone, cut into the recesses with the midtones, glazed a fair few times.
The new picture is completely under artificial light and suffering for it, but in person the difference is huge.

The ugly phase is a real thing, right? I can fix this with glazes, right? 🥺

Skin continues to be haaaaard! 😭
But overall, I'm happy with where I've gotten to. Some weird chunkiness in the recesses that came from the wash, but so it goes, I've moved on with the pants and shirts.

Loving this sculpt, and happy with the scheme I've chosen!

Dealing with some accumulated detritus in the house means unearthing old mini projects that never got painted.

Time to list them on the local marketplace for cheap!

It's a hard thing to do, but if you've got anything you haven't painted in multiple years, let it go.

The starter set is absolutely great value, this plus another team, neoprene wrestling ring, rulebook, dice and tokens for just fifty quid! 🥰
And the teams are all so characterful, I'll be picking up the Calaca Cabala soon...
June 15, 2025 at 1:11 PM
I'm so happy with how he turned out, first time I tried building highlights with lines and the colors just happened to work perfectly 😊
He's my first ever Rumbleslam mini too, and I just finished the team today!

4 images and 4 words to describe your paint style:

Rough
Scratchy
Vibrant
Saturated

Actually found this wip, he was a bit rough at this stage but it gives an idea of the range and saturation of the triad.

I've loved these crazy little guys, but the Green Bruisers are done now!

For one piece resin models they were a pleasure to work with, deep sculpted and well defined volumes, everything flowed well.

Moving on the Heavy Pounders next!

And model 2 of 10 from the Rumbleslam starter box is done! Another super fun mini, I really enjoy how well the volumes on the mini were sculpted, nicely defined and flow brilliantly.

Definitely a starter set worth looking at!

Aww yiss, it's all starting to come together!

Hoping for a ridiculously oversaturated emerald green skin.

I couldn't sleep without finishing him off. This sculpt was so much more fun to paint than I thought it would be!
The rocks came out nothing like I'd planned, but happy little accidents are always welcome.
