Seeing as how it's taking a while for me to get the next episode done, there's a little preview video in this month's newsletter (amongst other things):

Here's a quick look at some of the new bits n pieces used alongside some of the existing 'Dwarven' terrain

(there's also a 2nd pic of the new textures)

I hope to film the tutorial next week… but until then, feel free to check out the rest of the range:

Now that I've finished my dwarves, it's time to move on to some Tolkienesque orcs (all of which will be kitbashed/convereted in some way).

Here's a pic of the first batch :)

#heroquest was always my brother's game growing up (I had Advanced HQ later on)... but seeing as how it's on sale for £19.99 on Amazon, I thought I'd pick it up

(this is the version with the cardboard standees and the double sided map - so there's only 5 actual mini's to paint ;) )

I've finally got around to writing up my 5th (and final) blog post about building (and quickly painting) a cheap fantasy dwarf army for #onepagerules regiments:

I have a poll running over on Patreon concerning the layout of my next pdf file:

Note that you don't need to be a paid member to vote (it should work with a free account) - but you do need an account unfortunately.

Anyway, as always, any input is appreciated 🙂 🙂 🙂

Testing out a few kitbash ideas for a black numenorean and a couple of orcs at his command.

These are 99% northstar bits (the only thing that isn't is the cloak)... and they're just blu-tacked together at the moment.

Quite happy with them so far :)

Here's part of a layout I'm working on for my next (Moria themed) 'Five Leagues from the Borderlands' game.

(Next I'll be working of a few different floor tile designs to add a bit of colour here and there)

It took longer than I thought it would to get these little lamps done... but I got there in the end

Anyway, this is a prototype for my next terrain video over on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/CrookedSta...

...which I hope to get out later this month (fingers crossed)

Here's a couple of pic's of some new (papercraft-ish) walls I've been developing.

Here's a couple of pic's I found on my hard drive of a 'Five Leagues from the Borderlands' game I played through last year (it's a continuation of my Moria game).

I also found my notes, and so have been able to do a bat-rep style write up over on the blog:

I didn't get to start #orctober until there was just over a week to go - but I did manage to slap some paint on a few metal models that I have lying around (from various manufacturers).

(I just about got one done per night on the day's that I managed to work on them :) )

I've been working on some dwarf themed terrain again - and this time, it's the dwarven warrior relief/effigies that you can see decorating these walls

As always, there is a video showing how to put them together here: youtu.be/8j0djuRWKC8

(and a link to the pdf is in the description)

It's the last Saturday of the month... so it's time for another (monthly round-up style) newsletter:

Adding the finishing touches to some more dwarven terrain :)

With any luck I'll have a video tutorial out sometime next week (which will show how to make the little statue/relief guys that you can see on either side of the stairs).

Here's a quick look at the progress I've made on some dwarven wall decoration (for my next video & pdf).

There's still a few things that I'm not happy with (mainly the way it's layered) - but I think I'm getting there slowly :)

I've got around to setting up a linktree page (i.e. something that lists all the places where me and my stuff can be found).

linktr.ee/csp_kris

However, it really isn't worth following all the social media stuff (as I'm not that interesting) …if you're following here, that's probably enough 😅
October 15, 2025 at 10:44 AM
Progress has slowed down a little… but I've managed to get more dwarves done these past few weeks.

I talk more about the paint scheme on my blog if that's of interest: www.crookedstaff.co.uk/2025/10/buil... ).

Only a few more to go now :)

In my (seemingly) never ending quest to make ‘all the things’ …I’ve been adding some more traps to my dungeon (the classic ‘falling block’ in this instance).

As usual, I have a video showing how I put them together here:

Hope you like ‘em!

Just a quick heads-up to say that #2 of my new monthly newsletter is out (feel free to subscribe if you'd like that kind of thing delivered to your e-mail each month :) ).

Here's some pictures from the second part of my 'building a dwarf army' project (i.e. I started painting the first batch Monday evening, and finished them last night).

There's more about them over on the blog:

I'm starting a series of blog posts where I collect and paint a cheap fantasy dwarf army from scratch

The main models will be the EM4 Miniatures dwarfs (48 models for £14.99) …a few of which I've converted/kit-bashed

The YouTube channel has just passed 25K subscribers!!!

So here's a short thank-you video (and a give-away too).

With the YouTube channel approaching 25K subs (24967 and counting), I've been getting a few things ready for a celebratory video :)

www.youtube.com/c/CrookedSta...

One of these is re-releasing the modifications & requests pdf, and adding a few pages of new-ish textures to the file!

Last year I made an anniversary video about my print & paste terrain (in which I answered a few questions and shared a few pics - one being a door I'd made back when I was a kid)

Well, as a nostalgic project, I've redrawn it to match the newer printouts… mainly just for fun :D
