Yet another milestone, in this case a year and a half since I started this Bronze Age fantasy project. Amazingly still going strong! Who knew that by painting one thing, then another thing ended with lots of painted things? Revelation! Almost all is available from @fenrisgames.com Next stop 2 years

Lots of painted fantasy miniatures mostly with Bronze Age armour and weapons, with a lot of animal folk mixed in.

Slightly more down view.

And even more top down

I’ve been rewatching The Mandalorian, which is fatal as I’m now trying NOT to buy up a whole armies worth. I will, however, dig up these charming critters and paint one after my amazons. Cutie with the blaster and Mando helmet probably. Available from @fenrisgames.com

I expect Scanners style head explosions in a certain segment of 40k fando.

Totally a female space marine! Ultramarine chapter. Bald head and service studs.

Awww yes, cave diving. I used to cave AND dive but never at the same time. Triggers my inner Gollum, wondering what secrets lie in the roots of the mountain. Lots of dead divers probably but that doesn’t stop me from wishing I’d done it!

Popped into Gwithti An Pystri in Falmouth for a great local art showing and saw this cabinet on the way out, great to see @fenrisgames.com stickers making the rounds.

A cabinet showing a collection of rpg miniatures from the 70s and 80s with text describing the revival of fantasy in the 70s. Also shows a caf sticker that displays love miniatures hate fascism.

A cabinet showing the basic red dungeons and dragons book along with the original yellow tunnels and trolls rulebook, alongside some dice and a collection of miniatures from the 70s and 80s.

I should have painted its bum hole. It’s got a Barbie thing going on.

Megan W @muddypaw.bsky.social · 5d

Me too! Had the unicorn rider as (loose) inspiration. A unicorn that will eff you up and has never frolicked in its life.

Megan W @muddypaw.bsky.social · 5d

Thanks Tammi! it’s lovely seeing this project come together, kind of a bucket list thing.

I’ve been hoarding the chunky Celtos horses for years, just for this! Well, this and I think they’ll make good war zebras too. I’m following polite Praxian etiquette, no horses.

Megan W @muddypaw.bsky.social · 5d

Finally! Unicorn and rider finished. 3 weeks with no finished mini dopamine hit. Fuck that, back to single minis for a bit. Rider is Bronze Age from @fenrisgames.com as is the shield n sword foot mini. Horse is a chunky Celtos. Other minis are Dragon Bait and all by @mad-elf.bsky.social

An Amazon on a unicorn and 3 amazons on foot. All carry shields, 2 with spears and one with sword. All in Greek style armour and stuff

The Dragon Turtle’s sunken treasure! Painted by Influxsin, sculpted by Dave Cauley. Available from me here in the US, and from @fenrisgames.com everywhere else!

Megan W @muddypaw.bsky.social · 6d

I’ve had a parcel from the US arrive in the UK 5 days ago, and so far it’s looped around London 4 times, like its trying to increase escape velocity and travel back in time (presumably to arrive 5 days ago)

I always think Paul Muller sculpts have a real Russ Nicholson vibe. You picked up some real classics!

"Why did I have my squire and vassals buried in the tomb with me? You try keeping all your kit in proper working order when you're dead, mate."

Our new Death Knight from Paul Muller - Another Otherworld model coming soon!

Model of an undead knight in baroque verdigrised armour, holding a huge broadsword at the ready as it makes a threatening skeletor-style aaargh fist with its other hand. It's posed in a stine dungeon setting and looks ready to kick off.

SCULPTS ARE HERE! Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore. They worked tirelessly against the occupation of Jersey in WW2.

It's a fascinating tale of standing up in the face of danger and oppression, the empathy of being outcasts and love for the good in humanity.

Their kitty is called Kid <3

Marcel - kissing a kitty, in a big coat and trousers, and Claude standing defiant with her hands in her pockets, same gear.

because stuff always works like this when you're a one-man band, obviously it's only now that Alien:Earth is finished I'm finally getting chance to remake the moulds for our Xeno:Morph kit. He's back in the shop as a pre-order, anyway!

model of Morph from Take Hart only he's got an elongated phallic head, dorsal tubes and spiked tail like Giger's Big Chap from Alien.

I keep forgetting to show the rear view. He’s doing a Gamgee, what with all the bits and pieces and frying pan. Essential adventuring gear. I decorated his scabbard and then covered it all up with the frying pan, doh.

The Perry twins ECW hat was the chefs kiss, that did most of the heavy lifting.
