Does Grendal sell cute and fuzzy dungeon peices? Like kidnapped princess, extravagant bedroom, traveling weaponsmith? I'd be all for those pieces

That beholder is some nice work by Pogre, and I can personally vouch for his talent. Having had 3 minis painted by him, they're so well done I make sure I use them all the time. My group's getting tired of seeing the lich everywhere

No doubt...

If I had a couple of Pogre-Painted Minis (PPM (tm)), I would find a way to use them every session. I already told him in my SH thread that if I win the lottery, I am going to hire him for a year to paint minis and create props

Count me in - I already have a legion of Foundry Imperial Romans ready to go!

I better order the Roman temple Mold from Hirst Arts just in case you win

In case you had not guessed - HM is playing in my current campaign... Actually most of the Grendel stuff I am painting is fairly mundane. However, the $14.00 blister I just got in from Reaper should be a cause for concern

I posted a new article at

d20 magazine Rack on Painting Inspiration. If you have not touched your brush for a few weeks, head over there and see if some of my ideas can get you jump started. Better yet, if you have an idea - do me a GREAT favor and post it on the comments to the article.

The article is not my best writing, but the ideas are good.

Thanks for looking.

Hey Connor SB - thanks for the bump brother! I always enjoy stealing ideas from your threads over in Rogues!

All pictures posted here are thumbnails linked to larger images.

Here is the latest boy band I painted up:

I spent the entire weekend painting just one figure. It was not large at all. I will be posting it here in the near future and I will be anxious to hear from you if it was worth the effort. It is the subject of my next pair of d20 Magazine Rack articles as well.

Nice! Are those the Reaper Bugbears, or a different set?

I think those bugbears are from Kenzer's -currently on production hiatus- HackMaster line.

EDIT: Nice pain job btw, pogre.

Hey thanks - actually these are Reaper Bugbears. I think Jason Wiebe sculpted them. Have not seen the Kenzer stuff, although I would like to.

DUHHHH!!!

I are not smart.

Actually, Kenzer doesn't make bugbear minis. I had them confused (mostly because of the colors and the layout of the shot) with these Kenzer Hobgoblins:

PMT 19
Angel Miniature

So I spent the entire weekend last week finishing up my entry for Sean K. Reynolds Anger of Angels mini painting contest. The result of which you see below:

This mini is rated <IMG SRC=http://www.coolminiornot.com/score.php?id=49851> at coolminiornot.

My next two articles on d20 Magazine Rack will detail step-by-step how I painted every part of the miniature (from the skin to the non-metallic metal gold armor). Now, I just cross my fingers and hope my entry is good enough...

The picture is a large thumbnail if you want to go closer up.
