I worked on the Terrorgheist over a very long period. I was abroad during the week for two years and this is not the kind of model that is easy to travel with. I continued painting only sporadically and concentrated on other miniature in between. The Terrorgheist has great dynamics and it immediately strikes as a great bat, which is a fun alternative to the good old dragons.

I bought this one at Warhammer World in Nottingham in 2017. A friend recommended it because of its value on the battlefield, but I really like the looks of the model, no matter how it performs. I must confirm, it rocks. My friend probably never recommends anything like it again. And with much more ghosts available by now, it is much easier to combine in an army.

I wanted the second unit of wolves to be easily discernable from the first. And I was curious to compare different techniques. Instead of repeating to wet blend wolves in different colours, I went with dry brushing.

Would somebody tell Games Workshop their Dire Wolves stink? Luckily they have some Fenrisian Wolves that can easily compensate as companions for vampires and other forces of death.

After finally deciding to go with variations of a winter theme for my miniatures of the undead, I wanted to give ice a try.

This unit of Skeleton Warriors had a bit of a mishap during construction. I struggled with connecting the spine with the hip bone. They lean forward as if marching in a blizzard. The opposing wind must be awful.

At some points during my first games of Age of Sigmar, I felt some ranged attacks would be helpful. At that time, Skeleton Archers were still a valid option, although already not available from Games Workshop anymore. So I got myself some older models. But instead of going with the Egyptian theme, I sent them into winter wonderland.

When I started painting miniatures, I intended to get only those that would support my roleplaying games. I wanted some figures that weren't too specific. Something I could use on several occasions. Running a long-term fantasy campaign about a dark wizard, acquiring miniatures that could substitute demons and undead alike seemed a good idea. Remembering the odd behaviour of Reaper Bones material, I wanted to try a different brand. Also, friends were warming me up to Age of Sigmar. That's why I finally bought a starter set from Games Workshop and picked the Crypt Ghouls first.

In April 2016 I finished the first miniatures I ever painted. They came from the Reaper's Kickstarter campaign Bones 2 of 2013. A friend had upgraded his pledge to get them for me. The same friend that still gives me guidance on how to paint today.
