  i have taken a break from painting MotU figures for a short time, i wanted to finish some D&D and wild west miniatures before i get some heavy duty painting time for the next leg of operation MotU, the villainous Anti Eternians.  found a website where i can read comic books online, thought i would look for any MotU comics and came across a limited series called  He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse. and while reading it i kinda got inspired and took a few of the spared figures of the Evil Warriors and repaint a He-Man figure and created a small band of "heroic characters." with some different color schemes using the comic book as a resource, i have to admit these were fun to paint. i can't wait to paint the villainous Anti-Eternians and get them on the tabletop.  not sure what he was called in the comic book but from what i've seen online, there is a MotU Origins action figure called He-Skeletor.  same color scheme from the comic book and the toy, i fi...

since my last vacation i got some painting done and mainly the odds and ends of whatever i had laying around. most of this is for an upcoming game of Perilous Tales. several headstones i painted up for mainly for Perilous Tales but can be used for almost anything. not sure where i got these but i think i got them from the last gaming convention. a few giant scorpions from Mantic Games some wolves from Next Level Miniatures. my little demonic black goat. not sure if i am pleased with how he came out. i wanted him to be black but not just the entire figure black, i tried to do shading on it but it just came out like one shade. when i went to photograph it the blue spots on it are from the television shining on to it. some werewolves. one on the left is from Wizkids and the other one is Mantic Games. not to thrilled about these i might just go and buy a plastic sprue of werewolves from Wargames Atlantic. a duodrone, prepainted from Wizkids, gave it a painted base.

 it was bound to happen with our new members of our D&D group. they were curious if they were able to make higher leveled characters to match others in the group. several weeks ago i bought a plastic set of miniatures off of Amazon. the figures are from Wildspire Miniatures and i for the most part i like these. durable plastic and nicely sculpted. so i gave the group members a list of the class/combo's that are in this box set and told them to create a character sheet but not tell them what is going to happen afterwards, Rita already had a character in mind and miniature done awhile back but we had to redo a back story and stuff to match what was going to take place. this new group consists of level 10 characters with the exception of the leader who is level 11. the new group is basically hired swords/mercenaries, giving the players the freedom to go in any direction without becoming totally evil. just need Rita to think of a badass name for this group since she's the leade...

i took a small break from the MotU stuff but caught myself sucked back into the void. ended up converting and creating some more minor characters and then some. i'm still dragging my feet on doing the Great Rebellion faction but i need to just stop being a child and just do it and get it done. i only have the Rebellion and the Evil Horde factions to do. but i am having too much fun creating these obscure characters. Spirit of Grayskull. the Red Knight. several months ago Mattel released the Masters of the Universe: Origins Battle for Eternia multipack that featured a figure from each of the major factions in the MotU except the Great Rebellion. out of all of the figures that are featured in the pack, i noticed the Paragon Champion for the Heroic Warriors seemed fairly easy to convert using spare figures i have from my surplus CMON Clash of Eternia miniatures. using the torso of King Randor and lower body and head from a Eternian Palace Guard, i was able to create this neat figure. ...

i've been painting miniatures for the past few weeks but with work and weather, i haven't gotten around to posting anything. i did however buy a few new minis for my fantasy collection and also finally getting around to painting some plastic sprues that i got a while back. and of course continuing painting the Masters of the Universe figures. the recent Next Level Miniatures i got were a metal golem and i got another vampire. i originally got the golem to be a companion for an existing D&D character but decided against it.  iron golem. gave it a golden color instead of the usual silver metal feel. a nosferatu vampire. a few weeks ago i came across a plastic box set of miniatures from Wildspire Miniatures on Amazon was curious about what they were like in person. unfortunately there were a few from one set i bought i was interested in. in a future post i'll show more miniatures from the other box sets i got. mysterious female spellcaster. love how the hat comes down to c...

 a few weeks ago i converted a spare Rokkon figure into another Comet Warrior character. the reason for this was i ended reading several posts on Battle Ram Blog.com and noticed in a picture, Comet Warriors i was not familiar with. so i did some digging and couldn't find anything but i made the figure anyways and was going to give him a name of my own. when i painted the figure i kept the green that you see on his head but take some creative liberty and made the rest of the body kind of like i did with my other Comet Warriors.. now just a day or so ago i was messing around on Pinterest and found the following image of an unofficial bio pic and saw it had the same art from the old comic that i originally saw a while back. the name they gave him was Bouldron so even though this isn't official, this'll be the name i will label my miniature. and the way the color scheme they used for this character is mainly all green, i might go back and repaint my figure just to give the char...

 yet another round of characters but this time i found these on Etsy, and i have to say these were printed fairly well. i have been eyeing these for some time and i finally cracked and ordered them. once i got them i was anxious and impressed. i do get somewhat worrisome when it comes to ordering 3-d printed figures.  ModestMinisStudio  is the Etsy store i ordered these characters from. not too keen on the material they use to create the figures but it'll have to do. at least i was able to get a hold of these characters for my collection. these are 32mm, which i have learned with the CMON Clash of Eternia miniatures the scaling of these figures do somewhat differ from one another. so when i went to order these i was a little scared that they wouldn't fit with the others, but it works. Rio Blast. Jitsu. Draego-Man. not going to lie this is my favorite figure so far. when i was able to purchase Multi-Bot i also had the option of getting him in single figures. with so much i...

 another round of MotU miniatures and this time really miscellaneous characters. these characters i found in either the Masters of the Universe character guide and world compendium from Dark Horse Comics, that my wonderful girlfriend got me a few years back, or on Battle Ram Blog.com . since i painted up an Anti He-Man, it was only given he needed an Anti Battle Cat. and since i read there was to my knowledge an Anti Man-at-Arms and an Anti Orko, i painted up those since i had spare figures on hand. Anti Battle Cat. Anti Man-at-Arms and Anti Orko. after reading some articles on Battle Ram Blog i came across some interesting facts, and thought it would be interesting to see these on the tabletop and in game. Beast Man from concept art using an alternate color scheme.  "evil" Stratos, with a slight minor color difference. alternate "heroic" Mer-Man, also with some minor color difference. another member of the Rock People, i've seen artwork from a comic of rock peo...
