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.

no matter how much he practiced, Dan Doppelganger just couldn't get the look of Harriet Hag right. he'd nailed the pose, but there were bits of anatomy he just couldn't get the hang of...

two new Paul Muller models (ex of Otherworld) ready to go into the shop any time nowwww

two painted tabletop miniatures - on the left, a doppelganger (sinewy, mostly grey humanoid with exposed brain and feral eyes and mouth) and on the right, a wild fae hag in filthy rags gesticulating with a skull in her raised right hand.

Also, she’s deliberately pale as being a good little initiate, she spends most of her waking hours under the night sky. I might have gone a little too pale, maybe a light wash for a bit more definition on the face.

Thanks! ☺️

I wasn’t sure initially about the shield device. I was going to give it a few days and see if I still felt the same and paint over it, but I’ve come round to actually liking it a lot. Tied 1st with the star surrounded by laurel wreath.

Close up of an amazons shield showing a star surrounded by streaks of light, longer at the bottom, growing shorter towards the top of the star. Dark blue with grey and white.

The quests book is up now. I‘m a /bit eye roll at them spreading it across 2 books, but I’m addicted to fantasy, Bronze Age style so bring it on.

the Fenris co-pilot's in for surgery again tomorrow, bless his heart, so doesn't currently understand why theres absolutely *nothing* for him to eat.

thoughts, prayers, ko-fi, orders via the shop all very much appreciated!

This unicorn would be reeeeeeeally pissed about being used as a pack animal!

Megan W @muddypaw.bsky.social · 1d

Another Amazon. 6 (7 if you include the unicorn) feels like a good number for skirmishes. The last will be a priestess, who carries a representation of the cult Labyrs into battle.

The arms, the sword Amazon and unicorn rider are from @fenrisgames.com ,the body and spear amazons are Dragon Bait

5 Amazon warriors armed and armoured, wearing greys, dark blue and pale yellow. 2 have swords, 2 spears and the unicorn rider a long spear. All have shields with star heraldry. The unicorn is big and burly and has a rhino horn

This looks like it could be fun. Glorantha adjacent, and certainly the mythic world I’ll be using. It’s only visible on the US Osprey site for some reason. Out in May next year from @ospreygames.bsky.social

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 · 9d

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 · 9d

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

Megan W @muddypaw.bsky.social · 9d

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 · 9d

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
