Painting updated - many unknown brands painted :-)

As life event forced me to take a long rest, I used this opportunity to paint some miniatures. This was also a time where I discovered models I had completely forgot about.

Here are some of the latest addition to my pile of painted models.

First of all, a 3D printed miniature of Deux, a leprechaun for the game Agone. Deux (means Two in French) is a wildness dweller and has a limited understanding of clothing. One of the particularity of Deux is to travel with a small bag containing 2 unused underwears and being very particular that everybody should have 2 underwear available, just in case.



Next is an evil master for Weird World War 2


Next are some commanders from Games Workshop. Painted with Navy colors in mind, they can be used for objectives or any story. The miniature in the middle is supposed to be a tank commander, so it had no legs. I added legs from spare WW2 Russian miniatures I had.



For my birthday I received from my friends GW terrain

Mantic gave casualties in their dwarf armies. I had limited use for them, but I found they looked perfect as tomb markers.

And 2 additional dwarves got painted to join the army I painted earlier. One of them look like a junior chief, ready to split some heads in 2.


Next some unknown miniatures, where I have no idea where I bought them and when. They look like the Bugs Bunny Martian.

Moving on, Prince August Tribes of Terra, the Templar horde. I broke one of them at the foot level, so instead of 4, there are 3. Perfect the day I play some fallout or post apo type of game.


Another unknown. An android looking killer. Faceless and deadly.
The silver of her face did not really render good on the picture though.

During the Easter vacation I outsourced 2 viridian miniatures (Urban Mammoth) to the kids.
My son went for a camo based sniper.


My daughter went for a commander and very neat painting.


A Void miniature, before it became Urban War. A big sword, likely to compensate for a small brain.


Last, some Westwind Night Ranger, from their Road Kill range, Nice models with a decent level of details.

DYI Special PUBG Christmas gift






Back in early December, I was strolling  around shops to find Christmas gift. I have a friend big fan of PUBG and hard to get something special that is not either a cheap toy or virtual.

So I went for a Cinderella moment and decided to go for a cheap toy and transform it into a collector.

So here we go. A cheap toy, very plastic look and not much depth in color.


I used this picture as my reference.

After painting the miniature, I achieved a good result with a good PUBG feel. I painted the helmet metallic blue.

I was not happy about the base and decided to change it and added and nice display..

We exchanged gift at the park and my friend took a picture of the miniature in the woods. Looking really cool.

DIY terrain

 These terrains have an interesting story.

Few years ago there was an online contest organised by a blogger. It was about doing a piece of terrain, no rules.

I had this idea to build 4 identical terrain and weather them for each season, +1 in case I messed up.

Work got in the way and I was never able to complete it. They sat in my to-do box, and I finally got to do them (the famous Covid made me do it).

I am quite pleased with the result, even though I have no idea how to explain having 5 same terrain on a table.

More fantasy adventurers

 There is always something to do, and fantasy adventurers are always easy to paint. Set a color code, and you painted men at arms of some local noble.

Here are the latest addition to my never-ending fantasy minis. More people to fight and die in in the dark alleys of Montiberg.

3 random soldiers, 2 with long swords


3 more soldiers not affiliated with a house



4 soldiers from the House of Green




4 assassins

5 soldiers of the Sea Guards / River Custom
