My Top 12 of 2022

It's that time of the year again, so fire up Paul Hardcastle's The Wizard and read on!

Heroes and villains

More sci-fi minis! These are a bit of a mix with a touch of pop culture.

Amazon War Party

Personally speaking, I'd surrender on the spot.

Amazon Command Goup

These lovely ladies have spent the best part of two years in a cardboard box, so it's about time they were brought into the light and painted up. 

Squealer Squad Two

After overcoming my cold, I pressed on with these little chaps and finished the second batch a couple of days ago. I'm well happy with how they turned out, and I'd like to introduce Samantha, Bruno, Tim, Rasher and Jim.

Squealer Squad One

I've managed to fight the stinking cold I caught from somewhere (hint: Alicia) long enough to finish the first five Squealers, so may I present, from left, Neville, Spike, Sarge, Chops and Wendy.

Wiggles the Warlock and Lilly

After all those bloody Harlequins, something a bit easier.

Fembruary: Pandora

Cue Brad Pitt: "WHAT'S IN THE BOX??"

My top 11 of 2021

Crap, I spared every expense doing a header image and then accidentally deleted it. Oops. So here's one I nicked.

Jakul Frosti, the First Krampus

Jakul Frosti stalks down a snow-covered street past gaily decorated houses. He knows if you've been naughty and he knows if you've been nice, but it really doesn't matter. You'll still be getting an ice sword through the abdomen if he spots you.

Gug

It's back to huge metal monsters today as I'm waiting on more zombies and survivors to show up in the mail for this month's double challenge of Zombtober and Apocalypse Me. So strap in and enjoy.

Mean Little Zombie

Mackenzie might be a walking corpse, but she's never going to stop judging you, your clothes, your hair, your makeup and your social standing in high school. She's also never inviting you to one of her parties. 

Porkchop the Porkgre

Porkchop was part of RBJ Game's Yippers and Squealers Kickstarter, which I backed in December and received in March. I actually pledged for the Squealers core set, but when I saw him on the RBJ site I decided to pick him up too because let's face it, why would I not want a massive pig armed with a cleaver and meathook?

Charlie, Lucy and Linus

Two things: 1) these three were my first zombies, and B) it was only months after they were painted and in my display case that I realised who they're named after.

Monsters: Gug and Attercop

Meet a couple of the monsters kicking around my display cabinet.

Sgt. Oberon

I really don't like flight stands. The flight stand is that clear plastic rod you can see disappearing into Sgt. Oberon's hip. I'll give RBJ Games — they of the free dog — credit for not sculpting the figure so the rod disappears up somewhere else.

Guarding the treasure

Sir Guinemar the Righteous takes his loyal pooch Worral with him on all his adventures. Worral is a good companion, a devoted friend and useful for catching rabbits. He wears a jaunty hat with a feather in it because Sir Guinemar discovered that it makes his doggo an absolute babe magnet.
