Citadel Fimir


Limited Edition Fimir.  Small, stylish and, unfortunately, very, very rapey.  The back story for Fimir makes me never want to be within 500 yards of Graeme Davis.

That said, the creature designs are very cool, and I really enjoyed painting this one.

One day, if I can get another, it's tail is coming off and will be used in a John Blanche Minotaur tribute.


Troll Schlongs

You cannot be an old school mini painter and not have painted troll dicks.

There are a disturbing amount of troll dicks in the early Citadel Miniatures releases.  It really was troll dicks and torture porn for the first few years.



These are both early works in progress, as I have to stop and go wash my hands and my eyeballs out every few minutes.

Actually the first official citadel mini is free swinging too.

It was a weird time.



WIP Citadel Chaos Ogre

This Jes Goodwin Chaos Ogre is a work in progress, as I want to replace the poker chip bases I used to use with a decent sized MDF base.
Once I have rebased it I can focus on the little glazes that will make it pop.


The one major change I have done lately in my style is pushing up the values and contrast.  I was finding my early stuff is now murky and unreadable at a distance.  So from here on in I will be turning up the volume.

This ogre is rarer than the others in the range, as all the spikes caused the moulds to tear when the minis where being pulled out.  You can see a spike has snapped out of the socket when this one was put into the vulcanising press.
Thus, the spikey ogre was put out of production early on.
