This is my first anime figure I have gotten, and I couldn’t help myself but add some detail to it. Originally, the figure just had a plain black base. I carefully measured out several popsicle sticks and cut them to scale to make the floorboards of the apartment Anya is walking on. I finished the floor with a dark wood stain and a gloss varnish. It ended up looking great.

The new starter set came out some time ago and I have finally painted 2 models in it. I wanted to pick one of the more unique models in the unit, the Battle Priests. They look like they are bringing some small relics with them, making sure the faith in Sigmar is kept up properly.
My old Middenhiem colour scheme on the new models looks great. Though these particular models don’t have as many doodads the old State Troopers had, the detail on the new models is more crisp and the hands aren’t as poofy, they still maintain the charm I look for in regular humans up against supernatural horrors. Great update.
The first round of rebasing used MDF engraved cobblestone. But, now that I don’t have as ready an access to a laser cutter, I am using a texture roller with Greenstuff and gluing a cutout on top of a plastic base. How does it look? I think it works.
Priming is currently being done on the KDM project. Updates soon!

Group shots! Unfortunately, I don’t have the best lighting for so many models, but I still like to see how many minis I went through. Completing a project is always an accomplishment to be proud of and I love to see all the models out together.
This is one of very the few projects I used decals regularly. Because of this army, I want to use decals more. They bring such an air of cohesion to the army that makes them look so sharp.

My first mobile artillery piece is done. I decided to finish the Field Gun first since I like the style and it’s part of the combat patrol. I have magnetized the weapon options and am confident each one will look great all together on the base.
I got custom decals done by ImpatientTabletop on Etsy, all white deer icons in varying sizes. Though I do consider it expensive, the quality looks great and it was easy to use. Since starting the Saim-Hann commission, I got to use way more decals that I usually do, so I have taken a liking to the possibilities that are out there.
The Seaforth Highlanders’ regimental flag has a deer on it so I thought putting the simpler icon on the models would look good. I think I’ll try the more complex flag imagery on the command squad flag, freehand.
I am very happy with how this turned out and look forward to the second Ordnance model and the rest of the army.

After getting inspired by Gamer Grass battle ready Highland Bases, I made my own for my new field ordnance battery. This is step number two from the old custom Manitcore I did several years ago, where I want to refurbish my Imperial Guard army. I finally have a base I really like and have an idea for the colour scheme. All three weapons on the gun are magnetized, so I look forward to showing off how it looks with all the combinations and a crew.
To make the base have some hills, I did build up some lumps of putty before putting the sand on. I think the uneven ground sells the base as more realistic for the terrain type I am going for. It’s a mishmash of Highlands and Grasslands of some sort where there are large rocks all over, the ground is uneven, there are some flowers and shrubs, and the grass isn’t uniform or manicured. As as last touch, I made sure to put in tire tracks leading up to the position of the artillery.
The colour scheme is going to be similar to many other old military colours. But in particular, I am going for pre-1997 Canadian military uniforms so it will be plain olive drab instead of modern digital camo (I don’t think I can do digital camo well yet on 28mm minis). Any patches or iconography will be from the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada. Stay tuned for the completed mini with will be showing at least 1 decal or patch colour!

The next batch of weapons done are mostly the close combat option for the Guardian squad. Lots of pistols and swords. There’s a couple pointing fingers and binoculars too. Just a handful of special weapons and 4 more Guardians, and the squad will be done!
