Mongrel Miniatures

Miniature painting, terrain, and table-top gaming.

Some pictures of a recent Kill Team set-up. I painted all the terrain and minis on this table except my buddy's 3D printed tyranids.

Ruined buildings primed and ready for painting. These 5 pieces should fill out a skirmish board nicely.

Piece 4 of my ruined buildings terrain project. I forgot to take pictures before sealing this piece with black paint and PVA. The upper level sections are removable for easy painting and storage. I have 1 more piece under construction and then I will paint these up!

The first 4 pieces sealed and ready for spray priming:

Piece 3 of my ruined buildings terrain project.

Its smaller and less detailed than piece 1 and 2, but it's the first with 3 floors. It was good to knock out a nice quick one without the dreaded roof shingles.

Piece two of my ruined buildings terrain project.

Piece one of my ruined buildings terrain project inspired by the Mordheim terrain on Eric's Hobby Workshop.

Kit-bashed ammo-dumps / objective markers for Kill Team.

I made these from a mix of 3D printed parts, boxes from a mantic sci-fi terrain crate, and warhammer 40k bits.

Some better photos of the models for my Death Guard Kill Team:

I'm really happy with how they turned out. I still have to finish painting some of the bases, then clear coat, then gloss varnish the goopy parts.

More plague marines for my death guard kill team. I still need to paint the bases and throw some gloss varnish on the goopy parts.

Here's some death guard terminators I painted for Kill Team. They're from the "Lord Felthius and Cohort" box of easy-to-assemble models. I still haven't put Lord Felthius together. I'm waiting for my plague marines to arrive so I can do a head swap- I really don't like the head Lord Felthius comes with.

This was my first time painting anything from Death Guard and served as a proof of concept for the corroded bronze/copper armour look I had imagined. My other two kill teams are dark angels and imperial guard, and both have green armour so I wanted to move away from the classic green death guard scheme.

Interestingly, these 3 models add up nicely for a 125pt list for Kill Team Elites, so even though my plague marines haven't arrived yet, I was still able to get these guys on the table for a game on the weekend.

Work in progress: Sci-fi domiciles.

I had these wheels of a toy Tonka truck I got at the op shop. I thought I might be able to turn them into some small buildings, like little drop-pod / pop-up domiciles.

I based the wheels on CD's, and glued lids from Pringles cans on top. There was a gab around the base so I wrapped a strip of paper around the bottom to bring them flush to the table.

I brushed on a texture mix of PVA glue, baking soda, and mashed up air-dry-clay to firm up the paper and cover the roughed-up plastic on the raised parts of the wheels.

Next I'm going to add some doors and windows, and little details around the sides. I want to leave the tops flat so they can stack on top of each other. Then I'll prime and paint them.

March of the Mawtribes! Ogor Mawtribes for Age of Sigmar.

Finally finished painting and flocking all 9 of my 1ft x 1ft modular ancient ruins terrain tiles!

The measurements were a little sloppy so they don't line up as perfectly as I would like, but the hill sections all fit together nicely enough and I am stoked to have finally finished this project. I can't wait to use them for a fantasy skirmish game like Frostgrave or Warcry.

The Kabuki Gang from the Kabuki Gang Survivor Pack expansion for Zombicide Invader.

I tried to paint them in the style of a Twi-Far Dragon strike team for my Fragged Empire campaign.

Here's my progress so far on stripping my old badly painted Ogre Kingdoms models from back in my Warhammer Fantasy days in early high-school, and re-basing them onto round bases for Age of Sigmar.

I got these brick/pavement texture bases online, and figured I could put some rubble piles around the base to create the image of these Ogres marching through the streets of a city in ruins. I made a couple of test bases and painted them to see how it looked before basing the whole army.

I left a couple of Ogres off their bases because they have little goblin guys standing on the base with them. And I decided to leave one guy's sword arm off until I finish painting because he's holding his sword in front of his face.

Now to prime them all and then get stuck into painting. I'll probably batch paint 3 at a time, and I might switch to other projects between batches, because I get bored painting 14 of the same thing.
