So, umm, more minis

Back in the summer, I had worked out a deal with a fellow poster on Dragonsfoot whereby I would be purchasing his Reaper Bones 2 Kickstarter minis from him. He was keeping the expansion set and I was getting what came with his $100 pledge. They arrived last night and WOW! By my count it's over 150 minis; and not just simple sculpts! I'll have to post a pic of the haul, but I don't think I'll be buying any new figs for a bit.

My plan is to try using some of the bugbear or gnoll minis that have identical sculpts for a speed-painting video.

A New Project Looms

My brother (of Catthulhu fame) has a complete set of the old HeroQuest adventure game. He is wanting to eBay it and asked me to paint up the minis.

As you can see from my previous post, I love the HQ minis. They're just fun! So I'll be working on those over the next few weeks and posting my progress. I may even do a video or two about speed and rack painting. Whee!

Episode 2 (parts A & B) are up.

Here's the video link to Episode 2

And here are the stills of the finished druid:

Painting on camera

I've just launched a short (?) series of videos on my YouTube channel about painting for tabletop. You can catch the first crude effort here!

Get it on the Table - ep.1: Prepping the Mini

I'm still fine-tuning the camera and sound set-up, but you should be able to see basically what I'm doing. The idea is to walk a person through some of the basic steps for getting minis ready to play, as opposed to more advanced or "display" techniques. While I emphasize simple methods, I still strive to make the figures look good.

I hope some folks might find it useful!
