Chimera

If you are our Discord regular, you're probably familiar with the #mutations channel which is the place for all kinds of digital kitbashes of Brite Minis. The unquestioned king of those mashups is OutkastSamurai, who mercilessly chops my models and creates very cool variations. If you're not  on Discord yet, you're missing out on extra stuff! To reward his relentless creativity, I asked him to request a custom mini - and he chose a Chimera. 

So here it is, a supportless Chimer...

Books and Badgers

So here's a new batch of competition award supportless minis:

- Scholarly Capybara for Alan

- Badger Ranger for Cthulu Scot

- Bookling for Skaldarnar. This creature is from a world of Zamonia by a German author Walter Moers. I only realized after making it that there might be an IP issue, so let's keep it private use only, out of the merchant license, mmkay? It can also work as a wizards familia...

Exosuit

Honourable knights! The future of combat has come! Thanks to our researchers, digging in ancient mines and deciphering scripts left by engineers from ages before our time, we were able to construct these here battle suits, Order yours today!

The modular battle suit was requested by Patron Skipbabforreal as a contest reward. It consists of separate legs, torso, arms, forearms (robot hand/claw/sword), 2 head options and a shield. All bits are designed to be printed supportless.  You ...

Contest results

So, it might be the summer holidays' fault or I just suck at contests - 5 (five) contest entries were submitted in total (I checked my spam folder. If somebody sent something and it's not here below - lemme know). 

Luckily, they cover all the four categories, however because I'd hate to leave that one participant off the podium, they all win. Yes, we have 100% of winners. I'm breaking the rules because I can. Ain't this great?

Here are the entries:

Hic sunt Pegasi

It's good to be the king

600 years ago - on the 29th of July 1423 - Władysław Jagiełło, King of Poland and Supreme Duke of Lithuania, granted municipal rights to a small village Łodzia, which later grew to be the city I live in, Łódź. 

13 years earlier, on 15th July 1410, Jagiełło led the allied Polish-Lithuanian forces against the knights of the 2023-07-21 01:29:14 +0000 UTC View Post

A bridge too far

For many days Surepaws and Scracheet have spied on the daily route of Pete the Angler and finally decided that the best place for ambush and snatching the precious load will be the narrow passage of the stone bridge. What they didn't know was that the bridge has very recently been claimed by a new owner.

Unruly wildlife

"Oi, oi, Urongoryptax has returned, run for your lives!" cried the running villager. But this time the dragon wasn't left unchallenged. Warriors from abroad - Zahir Q'baab and Gurni Oxheart - came to claim the prize offered by the King for getting rid of the worm. Appointed to oversee this affair, Royal Gamekeeper Ron von Schwansohn reluctantly observed the situation.

Don't lose your head

Bert enjoyed his position as a town's executioner. Since the peaceful town didn't have many heads to be chopped off, he did some occassional flogging, helped obtaining confessions from petty thieves, but was mostly used as the rat chatcher's assistant. Free meals and his own seat at the bar quickly lead to problems with alcohol abuse. After one particularly nasty delirious drinking night, when he could swear he was seeing a white 2023-05-09 16:43:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Feldgrau

Second World War images are so embedded in our culture that we can instantly recognize the "iconic" (terrible word for the circumstances) uniforms of nazi Germany soldiers, seen in countless movies. They seem to be images from distant past, but they are actually just one generation away. Soon after my city was seized by Wehrmacht, it was incorporated into the nazi Reich. When my mum was only one year old, my g...

Fin de siècle

If I ever create a tabletop skirmish game (like there aren't enough of those already), it will be set in the late 19th/early 20th century, the age of steam, gas lamps and early electricity. Although the city I live in, Łódź, celebrates this year the 600th anniversary of becoming a town (in 1423 the Polish king Władysław Jagiełło signed the charter granting municipal rights), it was really a small village until the 1820's when it got a new life with the advent of the industrial revoluti...

Going 'mental

Everybody in town called him the Old Artificer. Noone knew whether he was an elf, a gnome, a goblin or just a weird old human. They all liked his useful inventions like the cold flatiron or the backward walking sticks. To get help with his daily chores, he constructed a Wooden Golem. While the golem was busy washing dishes and laboratory equipment, the Artificer could focus on studying an arcane book he had bought at a flea market, which turned out to be a fire elemental summoning manual.

Small and big struggles

This post was supposed to be a bit different, but life showed it's ugly face again and I needed to spent a few days at a hospital with my older daughter - all is ok now. For now.

Market day

"Best elven wines, two for a price of one!"

"Apples, get them fresh apples, they're not that sour once you add sugar!"

"Come to my shop for some porkchops! Get some or I'll eat them myself!"

"Sshh, Sssnake oil, Sssnake oil, from trussted sssourcsse!"

I think "townsfolk of different races" was the most returning request, so here's a bunch.

Crafting stuff

As some of you may have seen, I have recently done some traditionally crafted terrain to enhance my tabletop. While its great to print minis, I prefer doing terrain the oldschool way, with cheap and recycled materials.

I created some simple river sections from foam trays salvaged from grocery packaging. Hot glue gun, PVA glue, sand, flocking - its always nice to get your hands dirty. For water I used some cheap glue and then gloss varnish. 

Then I made a piece I've wanted to ...
