Blog about my passion for collecting, constructing and painting miniatures and figures, for wargames, roleplay or showcase, including Warhammer 40K Tyranids, Chaos, Daemons, Cthulhu Mythos, various Gundams & super robots, etc...
So... here we go with the first news. For 2013's premiere, I'd like to announce you news from my friend Ed's Troll Forged Miniatures. He has run a Kickstarter in late 2012 for the launch of his line of 30 mm alien miniatures : "Alien Assimilation Host"....
Hello my friends, I want to apologize for the lack of updates, I wasn't very active in the collecting last months, but I have to show you this new baby of the very interesting A3 serie from Volks. It's #19 of the collection, but I don't get them all,...
And we go on with another PVC figure from VOLKS' successful (in Japan at least) A3 series. This time it's from Linebarrel of Iron anime, no more MUV-LUV. It's as usual a quality release from Volks, a 14 cm figure in PVC with crisp paint. As accessories,...
In my neverending quest of collecting Cthulhu-related miniatures, I've found this new release from Khurasan Miniatures, the Octopus God from the Eldritch Horror series. I don't know why they didn't call it Cthulhu, but this is obviously it ! :) It's a...
So after a month of work, the mindblowing model sculpted from scratch and a few tyranid parts by my friend Bocks comes now to life in color. I choose to go for original scheme, wanted it to be sick, alien and menacing without falling in traditionnal nurgle-like...
Hey people ! I know I've been very quiet this year, but I'm slowly back into business; I've taken my brushes again to paint the new daemon prince from GW because I need to practice, I have something amazing to paint and I just can't fail. Today I've got...
Le long awaited sequel to SOTA's Nightmares of Lovecraft is coming. Probably the second most known God from Lovecraft's pantheon is coming: Nyarlathotep. This guy is supposed to have 1000 forms, so here's one described in the books, a titan tripod with...
One of the most impressive killing machine of the first wave of tyranid invasion on planet Tyran is now ready to wreak havoc in enemy lines ! This model is going to be on the "Invaders of Tyran" table @ Toronto Games Day 2009, so the scheme is the "official"...
Hey people, I'm back after some rather unproductive time in terms of the hobby. But I'm back with something special, a story of friendship over the ocean, based on a common love of our hobby. A few years ago, I was browsing the web in search of cool tyranid...
Hi everybody ! I had never accepted to do a commission before, but I was asked to make Angron, the almighty daemon prince Primarch of the World Eaters, and I accepted because it's entirely in the scope of what I love to do... Since I already have done...
Hello everybody ! It took a loooooong time, but finally it's painted : my Cthulhu Tyrant is done. I'm very happy with it, it's a terrific monster, with some worrying features (mouth on the belly, strange barrels on the back) and massive triple claws for...
To begin 2009 in a good way, I'm happy to show you my first commission finished, the almighty Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters, in his Daemon Prince form. The goal was to match my first one, but I wanted it to be slightly different, so, can you find...
So, it's done. I know, this is not my best, it's more simple and basic than my other miniatures, but I didn't want to overload him. Paint is done using the new inks from Games Workshop. It's good to have a nice tabletop level miniature, but for a higher...
After the "big guy" Cthulhu Tyrant, it's time to do the star spawn of Cthulhu, in the form of a Broodlord for my Tyranid Hivefleet. The goal was to use the new broodlord body and to keep its main features as I like it. The conversion consists in adding...
I'm relieved today, my cthulhu tyrant has now his main shape, all details are nearly done as I planned. So it's time for a little teaser before painting the beast. Final assembly of the arms and wings will be after painting, so I can easily paint all...
Action-figure.com has posted pictures of the San Diego Comic Con 2008, where SOTA has unveiled new pictures of their upcoming Nightmares of Lovecraft, second serie. The previously shown Cthulhu is now painted and we have a tentacled thing, it could be...
Here's my last miniature of the first batch I've done for Troll Forged Miniatures of my friend Hivetrygon. This is an alien, which could be used as typical "grey" or as some kind of broodlord. I painted it grey because I wanted a link to the famous "greys"...
It's time to review more of the things from my latest haul from Japan. Today we have a look at the SPEC XS-07 Black Sarena from Bandai. Kind of spinoff of the very appreciated Soul of Chogokin line, SPEC feature less known, cheaper and less elaborate...
I have made many conversions of daemon princes (if you lurk here sometimes, you should have noticed ;) ) but no chaos lord, surprisingly. I waited for the release of the new kit nut it didn't inspire me that much, so I decided to go for old stuff and...
Some time ago, I've been blown away by SOTA's Nightmares of Lovecraft first Cthulhu... But now, this is clearly a level higher, SOTA did even better : more than 4 kg, 33 cm high with a wingspan of 50 cm, a resin body with flexible tentacles, premium paint,...
Here's a new model in my collection, the EVA-01 test type from Evangelion anime, made by Bandai for their "Movie realisation" serie. It's all plastic but it has a great poseability and the alternative armour is a real plus compared to the many other EVA's....
Hi, It's been quite a while but here I am back with another painted miniature I've done for Troll Forged Miniatures, the new company from my friend Hivetrygon. This time it's the "Spiked devil", which features massives gorilla-like arms and... lots of...
After the monstrous Chaos Lord, I've another premiere, since this is my first miniature of the "good guys", and this is not the least, since it's no other than the Emperor himself ! The model is from Top Miniatures, no conversion, I think he was perfect...
My third action figure from the A3 Total Eclipse made by Volks has arrived safely last week. I have to say this is my favourite figure of that range so far. Its camo paint scheme reminds of the actual Su-37 superiority fighter from Sukhoï (Russian marine)....
I had a big surprise today, the postman had a huge box full of Japan goodness : big robots, strange sweets, presents from my friend Masayuki. Here's a shot of the things that were in this week and last week packages : A-Label Demonbane (already reviewed),...
