WIP, working on a unit of black orcs for the retro half of my O&G army

A quick undead cart I speedpainted this week for tomorrow’s game. The clock ringer is on the move!! :O

Working on my first pike unit base. It needs a lot of empty frontage (60mm) due to the front pikes. I’m magnitizing everything so that I can switch front base depending on opponent, there’ll definitely be a base with fallen goblins on!

Today I bought a storage box for my ducks, and got the painted (not fully based) minis together for the first time. It’s starting to look like a small army now! Big boost for my motivation. #nerdlings

WIP, painting up enough ducks to form a pike unit for production photos. I probably need to build a custom movement tray, those pikes poke forward a lot! #nerdlings

Also, I think it's really fun when the goblins are icky goblins. Especially when sculpting traditionally. The most fun I've had sculpting so far was Grumple's silly little face well really it's quite a big face, Grumple is some larger variant of goblin.

Ok, so - duck crew for a war wagon, yay or nay?

WIP on the light cavalry ducks. I need to tidy up some messes, especially on faces, base them, and then make some custom flags. But it’s getting there! #nerdlings

Four duck archers, more to come (including command group). These weapons have mainly been phased out in the more organized duck armies, but still sees plenty of use in the militias and border skirmishes. #indieminis #28mmminitures #handsculpted #tabletopminiatures

NEW RELEASES!!! Available at Ramshackle Games ....realms of chaos inspired Chaos dwarf champion with deer head mutation and his pet flying vampire squirrel of chaos !!!! A small but deadly duo shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/70-sprue-gob... #tabletopminiatures #tabletopwargames #miniaturesculpture

WIP of a unit of duck archers. Will add command group for a total of 12.

Ok so Helion had a sale on Renaissance books and I could not resist. German Peasant War up next?!?!

Goblin shenanigans, what’s not to love?

Time to paint up some future releases for production photos - light duck cavalry!

Starting up some new sculpts, two sets of archers and a set of archer command for the ducks.

Some more work on the gendarmes ducks. Mostly leg stuff left, as I started on these before I had the horses cast up. The mailed fist of the duck legions! #miniatures #tabletopminis #indieminis #28mm #wargaming #warhammer

Looking for more duck minis? Out friends at Star Hat are putting out some STL in a kickstarter right now. Check them out! #kickstarter #stl #miniatures www.kickstarter.com/projects/dar...

Just finished a Gargoyle miniature I've been working on for a while! www.artstation.com/artwork/P6VZZ8 www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-pr... #miniature #sculpting #tabletopminiatures #rpgminiatures #3Dprinting

I’m quite happy with most of this barbarian duck sculpt, but the hand/sword connection feels a bit off. Might do the proper thing and go back, cut it off, and try to get a better fit. #miniature #sculpting #wargaming #tabletopminiatures #rpgminiatures #drakarochdemoner #dragonbane #glorantha

When your mind goes wandering planning full plate armoured ducks:

More ducks. These are based on rodeleros, sword-and-buckler skirmishers that complemented many pike formations in the 15th and 16th century. I intentionally made these ducks a bit shorter, as the mercenary commander would look for agile recruits that could dart in and out of a melee.

Tuesday is Duck day! Showing here the polearm ducks, with open hands so you can choose spears, halberds, pikes (80mm wire) or something else. Bills, anyone? #ducks #tabletop #miniatures #wargaming #miniturespainting #farflungfigures

More ducks. The first set of greatsword ducks, ready to earn double wages in the mercenary warband, fighting from the front.

Next up, some crossbow ducks. First of two sets I sculpted.

Finished the duck mercenary command group, with a hand-painted flag. Now they are ready to cause mayhem! #28mm #nerdlings #farflungfigures #indieminis #tabletopminiatures #miniturespainting #tabletopwargaming #rpgminiatures #miniatures

WIP a custom flag for my first duck mercenary unit. Will need a lot more work on the gold/yellow. #handpainted #flag #tabletopminiatures #wargaming

Miniature painting: the Next Generation. 3 years old is a good place to start. What colour to paint the ducks? ”Pink of course!” She prefers ducks to orcs. #nerdlings #painting #warhammer #miniaturespainting #youngbloods

Chain of Command 2nd edition hype is real! :P Reading up on the changes and they look promising #chainofcommand #lardies #historicalwargaming #tabletopwargaming #drama

Slowly getting there. Some work on the bases and then I plan to hand-paint a nice flag for them. #28mm #tabletopminis #farflungfigures #whfb #sagaageofmagic #fantasy

For some really solid oldies :)

Pike test, using 80mm wire spear. I think this is the upper maximum for practical length, right?

The paymaster retinue ready for basing. They could barely fit on 20mm bases, but they are also the biggest minis in the range this far. #fantasy #miniatures #28mmminiatures #indieminis #farflungfigures #tabletop #miniaturepainting #rpgminiatures

Who’s up for some pike warfare?! Thanks Eureka Miniatures, I cleaned out their 80mm wire spear stock.

Work in progress on the paymaster set for the upcoming mercenary duck range. Just a few details and some matte varnish left.

The ”starter set” warband is starting to take form. I haven’t settled on it completely due to cost calculations etc., but I think it will be this plus five more ducks. #wargaming #miniatures #28mmminiatures #miniturepainting #tabletopminiatures #indieminis #handsculpted #farflungfigures #ducks

Painting up rodeleros ducks (sans shields this far) for kickstarter pics. Getting closer!

Cool kickstarter alert!!!

Saw this in the wild. Tidings of things to come?!?!

First ducks almost ready for basing. Then it’s time for some greatswords and crossbowducks! #farflungfigures #ducks #miniaturespainting #warhammer #indieminis #tabletopminiatures #28mmminiatures

WIP on painting the first four ducks for the upcoming release. Basecoat and wash, now it’s time to tidy things up! #28mmminiatures #warhammer #tabletopminis #miniaturespainting #farflungfigures

Hard to find painting time but at least I could clean up and prime three potential sets of ducks for a ”starter set”. The entire content of such a set is not yet set in stone.

I need to break up the ducks into 3-4 kickstarter campaigns. I was thinking that a good start would be about 20 minis as a start. Crossbows, command, three sets of spears/pikes/halberd, greatswords and sword & bucklers. Does that sound appealing, or am I missing something?

They arrived! 4 kilos of master copies of 28mm landsknecht ducks from my caster. I’ll get some of them ready for photos and then painting ASAP! It’s ON!!!

A complete blast of nostalgia: I found one of the first minis I ever bought, still sold by Mirliton. The Dragon Turtle. I remember buying this in a hobby shop in Gothenburg, I must have been 8 or 9, and holding it the entire hour+ car ride home. I glued it together but never got around to paint it.

Working on the ducks again. A second artillery crew prepares to join the fray! #miniaturesculpting #28mmminiatures #tabletopminis

Put some more work into the gendarmes. Some detail work left, but then it’s time to start making ponies for them!

Duck update! My caster is done with the master mold of the Landsknecht duck sculpts I sent him. 16 (!) molds in total! I should get my grubby hands on some copies soon. Then it is kickstarter time! :) Meanwhile, working on gendarmes. #miniatures #28mmminiatures #indieminis #fantasy #warhammer
