One of my favorite units to paint thus far has been the Lannister hablerds! I made them the subject of a 5 part painting tutorial series, because I wanted to demonstrate how to tackle Sky-Earth Non Metallic Metals on an entire unit. The first episode dives into the basing, and how that was...

There's a brand new painting tutorial on the YouTube channel! This time I feature a Savage Giant from the upcoming Free Folk faction. I take you through the entire process of painting, right down to the snow and ice effects on the base! Here's a link to the video: https://youtu.be/1LvJv3dyjEw...

This was one of the most fun units I have painted in quite a while! I really enjoyed doing all the Sky-Earth NMM on the army. I have a complete video series on how this unit was painted on my Patreon page, which covers the entire process of basing and painting. It is five episodes long and...

This is a project that was truly a labor of love! We've been painting War Gods figures for many years, and they just never get old. Each time we paint them, it's always lots of fun. Here's the CMON gallery post: http://www.coolminiornot.com/389703 This blog post also describes how the...

This is one of the many Raging Heroes figures that I used to create the Painting Pyramid series of videos. These were part of the original line of figures, including the Blood Vestals, Mantis Warriors, and even the Treekin! Here are a few scenes from the video (it was about 100 minutes long)...

Well, as a lot of you can imagine, it has been an unbelievably busy year for us... and it got a lot busier! For those who follow the blog, you know how much goes into that, with a usual schedule of 3 posts a day. I do apologize that it cuts down on what I can do here. There is just not enough...

Hello to all! Well, most of you already know that painting keeps me pretty busy! I know that many of you also follow the blog each day, and listen to me ramble on endlessly about that painting! My loyal blog followers watched as I progressed towards my own Kickstarter, which went live last...

Yes, this thing finally has actual rules :-) It is a big part of the Angels Solaris army which you can see here on the blog: http://wappellious.blogspot.com/2012/05/introducing-angels-solarus.html Today I finally posted the storm raven! http://www.coolminiornot.com/313128 Here are a few...

I almost never get a chance to paint a miniature these days. That sounds a little crazy, given that I spend around 16 hours a day painting miniatures nowadays. :-) What I mean is that I never get the chance to pull out one of the many fun little Reaper figures I have collected and paint the...

I bellieve I posted these to the blog, but not here on CMON. These gals were done for my Grey Knights army for Adpeticon this year. Not only did I want to try out big units of these to see what they would do, I felt like I needed a big batch of converted minis for my army to see if I could get...

Today I ran across some images of a Carnosaur conversion that predates the version I posted here a few months ago. Seeing this one reminded me of why I chose MY colors the way I did :-) When the buyer told me that he not only wanted the Mount AND rider to be red, but also have the lava effect...

I have a bunch of Forgeworld critters that will be going up on the blog over the next few days, and here is the vanguard: http://www.coolminiornot.com/306969 As some of you already know, there are tons of posts on the blog about the World Eaters 40k army, including this one...

Seeing all the hullabaloo about the upcoming flyers for GW made me think about this piece that I painted a back in the day... Sorry there is no flying base. The buyer never sent me a picture once I handed off the Hell Talon to him. :-( I wish that I did. Anyway, I am surprised that the...

I just posted this diorama to the blog today: http://wappellious.blogspot.com/2012/05/big-bad-wolf-confrontation-wolfen.html You can check out all the rest of the images on the blog!

Here is one of a pair of Blood slaugher Forgeworld minis.: http://www.coolminiornot.com/306076 As the text says, not the easiest bugger to work on! Here's a view of both units together: And another showing the bases that I made:

OK, I just polished off the last bits on this mini among a host of other things :-) http://www.coolminiornot.com/305875 I am also very happy that I finally located hundreds of images of my old diorama projects from back in the day! I have the first one posted on the blog here, with many...

I am not going to go nuts railing against Finecast here. All I can say is that I have painted the metal Librarian a few times, and it was far easier to deal with (and much better details) than the Finecast version. What is the most worrying is that this was one of the better Fincast minis I...

OK, here is a project that languished forever (or at least it seemed that way). It is the first tiny step in getting out of the gargantuan painting hole! Here is the post... http://www.coolminiornot.com/304982 I will be finishing off the foot version of this in the next 3 days, and that...

Sorry that it has been so long (once again) since the last post. However, I think most everyone knew that we would be heavily engaged at Adepticon, and that was certainly true! It was a whole weekend of tournaments for me. 40k on Friday, WFB on Saturday, and WFB teams on Sunday. I have blog...

Well, maybe not alas 'poor' Yarrick... he does have a power klaw after all! :-) He had been sitting around at almost 85% done for a long long time, until he was rediscovered! I am furiously trying to finish off all the stuff I need to get done for Adepticon. I have been down to 3.5 to 3 hours...
