Zombie Miniatures
January 12th, 2012 by Lead
Zombies! Probably the most popular of all undead.
Brainless, fragile yet relentless creatures of the night. They have a unquenchable desire to consume brain matter, to make their victims another member of their undead horde. Apt to losing a limb (or two) on their way to beat your brains out with their bare hands. They will get you, eventually.
Nocturna — Princess Of Night (Painted Miniature Of The Week)

Nocturna — Princess Of Night
Simply stunning painting on this miniature; the flowing dress looks like it’s made of velvet and such subtle shades of colour are usually very difficult to make look so natural.
Neodymium Magnets and Warhammer Miniatures
January 11th, 2012 by Lead
Neodymium Magnets are used by Warhammer gamers to create simple pose-able units.
You can obtain very small Neodymium Magnets that will fit in the armature of your units. Assuming your miniature’s arm is already a separate item you will need to cut a small pit in the arm and the shoulder area of the torso. Glue one magnet into the arm and one into the torso ensuring that the magnetic poles are opposite so that they attract each other. This works best with plastic figures as these are easy to cut into, especially the warhammer 40k marines that have surplus plastic due to their body armour. With metal miniatures the chances are you will have to amputate the arm in the first place, and there may not be enough material to allow you to create a hole large enough for even the smallest of magnets.
Of course this is just one use for these small, powerful magnets. Other miniature related uses for Neodymium magnets include…
Reaper Miniatures — Terror On Planet X
October 26th, 2011 by Lead
Winning my coveted painted miniature of the week is this fabulous diorama entitled “Terror On Planet X”…
What did they make the landscape out of? My guesss is some kind of crunchy breakfast cereal. Might get a bit smelly after a few weeks though and whatever you do don’t go spilling milk over it.
I love Reaper Miniature’s mouselings and own a few of the little guys myself. You can get the mouselings separately or with the big buy as a deluxe “Terror On Planet X” set.
Reaper also currently have a halloween offer (until end of October) of a small bag of halloween related goodies if you spend over 40 dollars with them.
Reaper Special Edition 1434 Space Mouslings is available on Ebay US for $11.24 and expires in 4 days 15 hours & 35 minutes.
