Anything But Warhammer
I am the World's Most Averagest Mini Painter(tm). My thoughts and anything else on miniature painting and tabletop gaming. Infinity, Warcrow, Shadows of Brimstone, One Page Rules as well as Battletech, 3D Printing and other random things.
- Alex from BoardGameCo speaks out on ICE murder of Alex Pretti. We need more of this. youtu.be/KdnzlbWrv5I?...
- No painting today. I’m running an Infinity tournament at Far Harbor Games. Huge crowd today for Infinity and a “Learn to Play” Combat Patrol event even though air temps outside are around-5F. #infinity #grandrapids #miniaturepainting
- I am racing to reduce my Pile O’Shame before the end of the year… and my wife hands me these Temple Dogs off the Amazon truck today. Sigh… Better get cracking. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone #pileofshame
- I am racing to finish a regiment of Ghols for a Conquest tournament Saturday so I do t have any finished work to show, so here is a picture of our Great Dane wearing his blankie. #greatdanes #miniaturepainting #conquest
- As a Michigander, I’d like to volunteer the opinion that the best thing about the Lions-Vikings game on Netflix so far has been the Snoop Dogg halftime show. #notminiaturepainting #fullofchristmasturkey
- I’ll start painting in a minute. Honest.
- Painting in front of tacky Christmas romance movies. I promised my wife we’d enjoy the Christmas tree, so I brought my painting upstairs. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone #itsawonderfullife
- Farging rank and flank games. It is so hard to paint 16 of the same minis all at once after years of skirmish games. 16 is like… one more than an entire 300 point Infinity army. #miniaturepainting #conquestsorcererkings #infinity #workinprogress
- And the poses! OMG. Stop with the poses! They’re archers! Just make them all in one pose with the bow up! You know, in RANKS! … /rant off…
- The trick is to put on a holiday rom-com that even the writers slept through, then you can paint away without worrying you’re going to miss anything. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone #conquest

- The hand both painteth and addeth to the pile of shame. The pile was down 75 for the year, then I bought 27 more. Still - Escape From Stalingrad Z for $50 is a steal... and zombies! I’m thinking I’ll use contrast paints for these. #miniaturepainting #rayboxgames #escapefromstalingradz
- I know these guys are going to look great when done, but OMG! All that gold filigree is killing me. Check out the guy on the left. No. I havent been drinking. Might need a new brush though. SMH. #conquest #miniaturepainting #workinprogress
- Another batch of “little plastic guys” as my wife calls them. This time, Efreet Flamecasters for Conquest. I tend to paint minis following the box art because I buy minis as much for the color schemes as the sculpts. Enjoy some flame flingin’ djinn. #miniaturepainting #conquestlastargumentofkings
- I’m going to start a new thing: when I finish a group of minis, I’m going to post a pic of them with the box art. Today: Skin Crawlers from Shadows of Brimstone. #miniaturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone
- Plastic is fine, but there’s nothing like a miniature that weighs as much as a pipe wrench. The first of my Black Friday purchases to arrive: a Tunguska Zalamandra for my Nomads. Big chonky boy. #miniaturepainting #infinity
- OMG. I remember why I’ve been olaying (and painting) skirmish games. Also, why people use speed paints. I present to you 4 Rajakur infantry fully painted to “army quality” for Conquest. An equal number of Ghols await. Oof. #miniaturepainting #conquestsorcererkings #alotoflittledudestopaint
- Playing. Not Olaying. I wish #bluesky would allow editing my typos. But you knew what I meant anyway.
- Omfg. 24. Not 4. I am going to stop posting for awhile.
- I took some time from painting to whip a basic painting handle to replace some of my 25 year old paint bottles that I’ve been using. I call it “Yet Another Paint Handle” or YAPH. Available on Thingiverse soon. #miniaturepainting #3dprinting #openscad
- I took a break from painting to assemble this big fella - a Mahut for Conquest: Last Argument of Kings. As is my style, it was very averagely assembled, with several pieces not quite fitting perfectly. (And not due to the manufacturer.) #miniaturepainting #conquest
- Kind of a schizophrenic mix on the painting table tonight. Can’t quite decide what I want to dive into. #minaiturepainting #shadowsofbrimstone #infinitythegame #conquest
- FML. In 2024, I crowdfunded 6 games, due to be delivered in 2025, nicely spread out so I could enjoy them. Current release schedule: -February 2026- Tanares Expeditions Gates of Niflheim Cats of Mt St Michel We Played God -March 2026- Acheron's Fall -April 2026- Rogue Angels
- I mean, I can’t complain too much. I’m going to get a ton of great games, but all the February games have minis to paint. My Pile o’ Shame(tm) is going to start solidifying under its own weight.
