Terrain Showcase: Ultron City, Part 1

In 2022, Atomic Mass Games commissioned me to build a terrain board representing a city that had been completely overrun by Ultron, the Metal Tyrant and his mechanical drones. Here's a look at how the board came together:

Making a Trophy Banner

Before our game, Jay and I made a deal that the loser would make a banner go give out as a trophy for winning the game. I lost, so here's a look at how I made my trophy banner.

The Legion of the Infernal Skull: Death Eternal

As long as I've been playing Warhammer, I've been creating backstories for my characters and updating the lore as significant events happen in games I've played or in the evolution of the rules.


It has been eight years since my previous army showcase: A Legacy of Death. During that time, I have added several new units and characters, and the Legion's story has progressed through the Age of Sigmar. Now, we have come full circle back to The Old World. The benefit of Vampire Counts is that the undead characters can essentially live forever, so the necromancer Nieman Kimmel and the von Koss vampires would have been around during the year 2276. In fact, as you will read below, my vampires had their origins during Walach's reign at Blood Keep in 1887!


This post is a collection of all the lore I've presented in the past, with updates to incorporate new units and characters, and carry their narrative beyond the End Times into the Age of Sigmar.

Skeleton Command and Armies on Parade

Well, it turns out that the shop is holding its Armies on Parade event on September 28, not in mid-to-late October as I had thought. So, I've got some choices to make...

Switching gears back to my Tomb Kings for a minute– I've finished assembling and priming the archer units for my Tomb Kings army, including come converted command models:

Skaven Warp-Skryre Tower Painting Journal, Part 4

As part of a friendly scenery challenge with my friend Ron Kruzie, I had given myself about two weeks to complete all the painting and assembly on the Warp-Skryre Tower. The idea was to put a deadline on our projects as a motivation to get them finished. After grinding away at this monstrosity of stone, wood, and metal, it's come down to the last few days...

Skaven Warp-Skryre Tower Painting Journal, Part 1

My friend Ron Kruzie (@i_ron_painter on Instagram– Check out his gorgeous work!) and I entered into a friendly challenge to complete our scenery projects. He's working on a batch of post-apocalyptic terrain that he wants to get finished in two weeks, and I decided to see if I can finish painting my Skaven Warp-Skryre Tower in the same amount of time.

Bases and Banners

I've got a bunch of stuff to talk about this week– New resin bases for my Skull Forge Scenics range, a new base for the tomb scorpion, and standard bearers for my skeleton archers...

Arming the Troops with New Scorpion Blades

I was inspired to create some unique scorpion-themed swords for my Skull Forge Scenics range of resin products, and equipped my skeleton archers with them:

"A New Power is Rising!"

The Lord of the Rings films depicted the most epic fantasy battles that have ever (and will ever) appear on screen. I wanted to capture a fraction of that with my Uruk-hai army– The White Hand of Saruman.

The Fellowship of the Ring

In the 12 years that I've been publishing this blog, I have never posted any photos of my Lord of the Rings models. So I figured I'd spend a few posts showcasing my collection. First up– The Fellowship of the Ring.

Now, Where Was I...?

I’ve been occupied with finishing up a large scenery commission for the past few months, so I haven’t had much time to work on any personal projects (or even update my blog). But I'm back now!

Planning for the Old World

The launch day for Warhammer: The Old World has come and gone, and both of my local shops still have not received any product, so all I can do is plan and scheme...
