Tiny Orcs Still Go Dead ‘Ard!

More from the lab from the 15mm Fantasy project! I’ve been feeling a bit green lately, so I figured I would mark the occasion with a little greenskin action. And when I say little, I mean really little…

As I mentioned in a previous post, 15mm has become my Goldilocks scale for miniatures. Stuff just prints up lovely, and there’s a ton of options out there from some independent miniature companies.

This particular Green Menace started out as a subscription set of STL files I got from Forest Dragon Miniatures, but my doctor says I need to avoid printing with resin, so I have been ordering the rest of the army from a company on Etsy that does a pretty nice job!

The first finished fig is an Orc Warboss on a Wyvern, and I seriously love this mini! There’s a print defect on the wing, but he’s pretty small and it’s hardly noticeable:

I also finished up a small group of grunts, which were mounted to #10 washers for bases. Those work out to about 1/2″ wide, which allows a pretty solid balance between functionality and display needs. I originally had 3/4″ washers on there, but that made the miniatures hard to place on terrain!

I plan on using these guys for skirmish games, and there’s a travel board in the works that will have some pretty sweet terrain packed into it! More to come soon! (pay no attention to the ratboi in the basement!)

Malifaux Outcasts: Necropunks

I’ve been painting up Malifaux models for over a decade now, and honestly, I couldn’t quit this range of miniatures if I tried. The lore is hands-down the best out there (for my sensibilities), and the models are incredible, even if you lose years of sanity every time you build one. My latest project has been putting together a Leveticus crew. He’s a right bastard, so I’ll be saving him for last!

Leveticus uses the Amalgam keyword, so he has access to a pretty wild assortment of gribbly monsters and abominations. Necropunks are part of that list, and I’m really happy that they’ve had a refresh since the original sculpts… They weren’t terrible, by any means, just not what I was looking for in a Weird West mini!

*Not 100% sure these are the originals, but they’re pretty damned close!*

The new Necropunks came out for 2nd edition, and maintain the gross level pretty well. Here’s punk #1:

I went with a greenish pallor on the skin, he is a dead guy, after all. Love the gear on his back, too! Such a grotesque fella!

Punk 2 has some Go-Go Gadget arms action going down, which is probably good, he’s a little guy, after all. Those extendo-arms probably come in handy when he bellies up to the bar at the saloon!
