A collection, if you will, of my favourite non the Lord of the Rings miniatures. From the following you'll surely see my interests when it comes to tabletop gaming are quite diverse indeed. The pictures wont be exhaustive, as I have literally hundreds, but should give a rough idea of where my painting skills currently lie.

I actually hate painting, consider it the very worst part of the hobby (I particularly like X-Wing pre painted models) but suffer from a bad case of 'CCS' or 'Compulsive Collectors Syndrome' ( :lol: ), which requires any collection I use to be fully painted and based, by myself.

All my paint schemes therefore conform to the following:

a: Minimum of effort and colours required.
b: No more than spray undercoat -> block paint/drybrush -> wash -> 1 highlight.
c: No layering, shading, two brush, etc. Simple easy steps.
d: Anything more than an hour per mini is no go, I'll get bored!
e: Weathering with a Tamiya drybrush stick.
f: Drybrush as much as possible on a black undercoat.

My largest collections are probably my 6mm/10mm/15mm historicals, partly due to a strong interest in history but mostly because of ease of painting large blocks of little dudes. I'd actually much prefer a large LotR army, but the larger models and more painting required actually put me off having too large a collection.

This is where the magic happens.

Well, that is a very "brief" look at my display cabinet, I've many, many, many more miniatures out in my garage that is a converted gaming room with a dedicated 8x4 gaming table, but I'm afraid I'd completely over run your board with photos if I tried to post everything! :-D

Some of the images aren't showing but those that are do look nice, the paint scheme may be relatively simple but it is effective. Lovely collection.
