Doing an Oldhammer miniature companies roundup was always going to come at a financial cost. The latest company I decided to pick up a batch of cool and interesting minis from was Diehard.
Diehard Miniatures create metal wargames miniatures. The company started as a collaboration of 3 sculptors back in 2014 (Tim Prow, Chaz Elliott and Drew Williams). With the assistance of Richard Luong for the initial artwork and concepts, Diehard has expanded its artist stable to include Chris Walton, Johan Egerkrans, Kennon James and Jody Siegel.
I’ve been working on building a crew for Stargrave and I’m going for an undead theme.
I loved the look of these skeletal astronauts, and they were fun and easy to paint, too.
There’s a brilliant range of undead miniatures on the Diehard site which cater to both sci-fi and fantasy.
Joining the bony ranks of this crew is an undead Space Marine, also from Diehard.
No “here’s what I’ve painted recently” roundup would be complete without something from Midlam, either. This guy is a crow shaman and he’ll act as my crew’s “medic”.
Another character from Midlam is this demon who’ll be used for my dungeon crawler games.
Back to Diehard for another dungeon denizen, this guy is a Satyr.
Have you ever wondered why undead creatures persevere in their attempts to play wind instruments?
Another company I buy from a lot is CP Models. This trooper is part of a group of 5, so I just need to get his pals painted up now.
Finally, I painted up the last two Blood Bowl beastmen that I found in a box a while back.
So that’s what I’ve been up to recently on the hobby front. Well, that, and running our new Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast. We’ve had some great conversations on there recently about Oldhammer, Herohammer, and old White Dwarf mags. Have you listened yet?
