Cauldron Born Mini's

A new company has just been set up selling some cracking mini's, I've painted up some of their Dwarves and some mini's sculpted by Paul Muller. I've added a link to the store on the right of the blog

Olleys Armies SF Ogres

These are cracking mini's from Olleys Armies, I really like Bob Olleys style as it is reminiscent of the golden age of Rogue Trader etc... Quite quick to paint up using natural sand and pale brown colours. They certainly blow GW's Ogryns out of the water by miles. Spend £9.50 on an Olleys Armies Ogre or £13.80 on mis-shapen lump of metal from GW. It is an wasy choice to make.

Now if only I could get my grubby hands on the original Ogryns from the 80's....

FU-UKERS Cthulhu Sculpting Comp

One of the Mini's I've got hold of that were released for the Frothers Sculpting Comp

4A Zombies

Zombies, from 4A Miniatures. These are great to paint up, nice big chunky mini's that you can slap paint on, add a few washes, a few highlights and you are done. The detail is minimal enough to paint up quickly but are a few steps up the quality ladder than the normal filler mini's for zombie hoardes. Well worth picking up.

Lilith Hesperax

This is from Games Workshop, I went in to pick up some paint and bought this on a whim. A very good sculpt, probably the best I've seen out of there recent ranges (well from early 1990's)

Painted up like the stock image from GW to sell later down the line when I have finished off the plastic squad I also got at the same time.

Hasslefree Pilot

Picked this up while purchasing the "Goatboy", thought i might as well buy more than the one mini to make postage more palatable.

Lovely sculpt, and quick and easy to paint up, based on a Fenris Sulaco base. The Dog type creature comes with the mini but the oil can is from a 1/35 tamiya set.

Oh the Horror

Picked these up off Ebay, sculpted by Kev Adams and now out of production, they seem to rarely crop up.

Used them as practice to blend different colours together
