There comes a time in a man's life when he has participated in enough Bones Kickstarters that desperate measures are needed...

In short, I volunteered to run a paint and take at my local store.   We got all kinds of people


  • people that played D&D at the store every week
  • people that didn't really know what minis were but painted on canvas
  • families with kids of all ages 
  • kids that were planning on playing Fortnight on the store's XBOXes  but got distracted with our cool toys (Someone should totally do Fortnight minis).
  • a wargamer that wanted to kickstart his painting


I'd say it was a success and probably will do it again.  I mean I somehow still have minis.

Anyway here are some pictures that I remembered to take.   I don't think that the lighting is really doing these justice.

Well organised, that man!

I didn't know the mouselings came in Bones, that's very tempting.

Do I see some use of GW's new Contrast paints there? Stirring stuff :)

No, it was mostly my Reaper paints with some GW washes.

Ahhh, I see - fair enough :) I've found them very handy for quickly getting stuff done. Not sure I'd use them on commission stuff, but they're not bad.
