Some time ago I was asked by mminiatures to see if I would paint his range of miniatures that he was sculpting The Host Of The Blood Prince, of course I accepted as I did think the models looked fairly cool. Now I have got the first one finished, even with a few issues with the sculpt which I am sure will get better as he get s more miniatures under his belt I think the miniaute looks cool painted up. I will post more of the range in this thread as I get them done, I hope you like them as much as I do, and it is always good to help someone in there endeavours to become a mini manufacturer.

Looks good Tim.
It helps to get a grasp on what Mminiatures models really look like.
Keep at it, both of you.

Thanks the model is not too bad, I had reservations when I first looked at it as the proportions are out in places but now it is painted I like it alot, @bruenor no it isn't TCr I do have that but never think to use it, it is simply Red Ink built up and then adding a little black to darken the areas closest to the blade. I tired TCR once or twice and I found that it started to lift the metalic flakes so I tend to steer clear of it now.

Looks good as always, Tim! The darklining seem a bit heavy in spots to my eye, but all in all very well done. I like the bloody blade as well.

Hi all, I got the second mini finished last night. I didn't have alot of time to paint this week with me having to do a technical course but I did get this guy done and then hopefully I can get a couple more done by the end of the week. I am realy impressed with these minis. I can recommend that you try one or two for the price they are good value for money. As mentioned before I will keep posting subsequent models as I plough my way through them. @mminiatures if you want me to paint any more you add to your range just shout up.

I didn't pay for them no as I got the first batch, mminiatures asked if I would paint them in return for the minis. But these do take a bit of time so in one way I suppose you could say that I am paying for them. But it is a pleasure to do them and help someone in there efforts to become a manufacturer.

Banner job on the spearman! I am sure your paint jobs will sell more than a few minis...it really accentuates a very good sculpting job.

Very nice work! Thanks again.
I don't exactly know how to say it but has anyone purchased any successfully? If you haven't wanted to its no problem, but I'm just not sure if the paypal buttons are functioning properly. I can't test them myself becuase you can't send payments to yourself. If anyone has tried and had or not had success can you please drop me a PM?
