Another year gone by and here we are at the end, which means it's time for the annual Year In Review for the Space Dinosaur Miniatures. This has been a good year, with Covid waning allowing for more activities, but I still got a good amount of minis done.
Merry Christmas! Hope every one is enjoying their holiday, I know I am. I've been working through the Echoes of Doom box that I got and it's been rather fun! I guess I have Sylvaneth now...
Remember to stay safe, have some fun, and spend a lot of good, quality time with loved ones. Enjoy the time off, and if you don't get any because you keep the world running, a big thank you. My annual review post is right around the corner, so after that it'll be on to the New Year!

After an eternity of painting, I have finally finished painting the Untamed Beasts warband from Warcry. And man, was that an effort. I seem to have a tendency to go for a higher standard with these sets, even if there are a bunch of chaff units in them. But, they're done, and in this post, I will show you my paint recipe for the Untamed Beasts.
Another month has rolled by, and more minis have made there way through the painting table. The Untamed Beasts, which I've touched on in the previous WIP post, are now well and truly complete. I'm currently working on the Paint Recipe post for them, so that should be coming out here pretty soon. Not one to be content with the minis I have though, I have gone and purchased a couple of things recently.
Not really an opinion, but I feel like this type of post fits in best under this category. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers! I appreciate you guys coming here, leaving comments, and just generally sharing this hobby.

Before the month completely closes out, I had to get a Spooktober post out, as is tradition. I haven't done much in the way of mini painting recently, as I've been focused on terrain, but I managed to get this one finished. In my army, this model serves as a Knight of Shrouds. In reality, this is a limited edition Bladegheist Revenant named Garkorr.
Are you interested in having a full tables worth of terrain for your wargames? Does the cost of Games Workshop plastic make you consider otherwise? In this post I'll guide you through the in and outs of using MDF terrain for your fantasy tabletop games.
I have a bit of a love hate relationship with miniature photography. On the one hand, capturing the details of a well painted mini is absolutely important, and requires a white or black background to get those crisp photos. On the other hand, that background is boring as all get out. Minis are cool, but minis belong on the battlefield looking cool. They are part of the scene, and that conveys a story to the viewer that you don't completely get from a static, solid color background. In this post, I'll show you how to take cool miniature photographs, even if you don't have your own studio.
This last month has been rather quiet here on the Space Dinosaur front. Ordinarily, I prefer to share my hobby stuff here once it's completely done. That works for smaller projects, but right now I'm working on some bigger things that are eating up some time. So, in the spirt of keeping my blog active, here's a sneak peek of some of the upcoming posts.
Welcome to another review here on the Space Dinosaur, where I'll take a deep dive into a product, game, or technique and offer my opinions and recommendations. Today's post will look at the most recent of Archon Studios' kickstarters to ship, Dungeons and Lasers III.

Curious as to to how I build some of my Age of Sigmar terrain pieces, convert models, or how I plan armies and paint schemes? Then welcome to the Space Dinosaur Tutorials, where I teach you how I do what I do. For the first post of 2022, I finished up a unit of 10 Chameleon Skinks that I converted from your average, everyday skink.
