Mierce Miniatures

Here's the process I use to create the floor tiles. I use a pen with some shortened and smooth sanded coat hanger wire attached to it to score the ePVC. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1893/30988177518_8055e2d53c_c.jpg image by bishmeister75 , on Flickr Draw in the tile design, then score in the squa...

It's been a long time since I posted here despite saying I would post more often. This thread needs an update and I'll be taking a retrospect look at the Darkholds: Byzantii Catacombs board I made for Salute 2018. Firstly a bit of background on Darkholds. This was going to be a Mierce Miniatures 'du...

PhotoBucket has decided to display all the pictures again.
Happy Days.
I'll be updating this thread soon!!

Great work guys. Paul's thicket looks very effective, good height and seems quick and simple to achieve. James' moorland is also realistic looking, great to see some height with rock formations. Hugh, well, I'm not sure this is a hill, more of a rock formation. I look forward to seeing this finished...

This thread will be populated by 360 rotational videos of Mierce Miniaturres. I intend to update this with my Mierce collection. This will hopefully help people with the construction and modelling of the larger miniatures. Fomoraic Gaanh, Walvax Tain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucS9LFHQofs Conaa...

I'm metal to the core, ..And Justice for All was my introduction to metal when it came out in the he mid 80's. I listen to a lot of Slayer also. I enjoy most music though, also love Heilung

Excellent. Cheers Rob.

Do Trolls/Hrafnmen/Jotun help with rowing the longships?
If so, do the longship designs differ from historical ones to account for their larger bulk?
Cheers

Bishmeister

I no longer pin models now that I'm using nail glue.
Give it a try, it's cheap enough.

Bishmeister

Hi Geoff, good to meet you on Saturday.
I bought this

Cheap and cheerful, super strong.
Good luck.

Bishmeister

@Jonathon Chester, maybe. Probably only basecoats and washes though.

Bishmeister

Cheers Rob, much appreciated.
Another Wiglaca it is then.

The drive to Salute was uneventful but it was a very early start. I arrived and the Mierce team came down en masse to give me a hand with the board. It wasn't too long before it was all set up and Jonathan Chester and I just had to go ahead and christen the board by having a demo game. http://i1230....

Bishmeister

With the columns completed the next job on the list was to waether the steps. This was done using the same technique as the columns. Wet blend Agrax Earthshade into the recessess followed by the same with Biel tan green. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/bishmeister/Darklands/image.jpg1_zpsw...

Bishmeister

Cheers Skull King, let's hope, just two weeks to go now. This week has been very productive, I've managed to finalise the pediment design and get some paint on the temple. The bottom part of the columns have been painted with the blood of Christians, this happens when the temple was desecrated to th...

With the base board finished I turned my attention back to the Byzantii temple. With the columns completed I set to work on the pediment and ceiling. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/bishmeister/Darklands/image_zpsmybiryqt.jpeg http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/bishmeister/Darklands...

This is a great looking warband, first painted Fir Bholg I've seen as well.
Any chance you could post some better quality photos to this forum?

Bishmeister

I put the chain in place then add superglue to it.

Bishmeister

Start assembling these minis and you will be so enthused to get some paint on them. Personally when a box from Mierce arrives I drop everything else a start assembling, the minis cry out for it. Good luck.

Bishmeister

These look great, I really like your colour choice. Great work on the banner design also. Time to tackle Krull soon maybe.

Bishmeister

There was a day of perfect weather for spraying so I just had to go ahead and get some paint on the model. I started with a grey primer which would be the colour of the board's sides and the base colour for the rocky outcrops. I then airbrushed some shading in the recesses using a darker grey. http:...

Bishmeister

Thanks folks. The next part of the project was to work out how the temple would integrate with the hillside terrain. The temple is modular and is made up from two parts, the temple and the plinth it sits on. Whilst this is a lot of work to make it removable from the board this is necessary for trans...

Bishmeister

Great work, very atmospheric. Any chances of seeing all your painted Juted together?

Bishmeister

Thanks for the kind words folks. I'm starting to get excited now as I've started to crack on with the Byzantii temple. The steps took a while to design as I wanted there to be steps for humans and beasts. This also gives more room for standing miniatures on the steps. I have added two plynths either...

Well it’s been a year to the day since my original post here and I thought it could do with an update. Firstly, I’ve had a busy year, particularly working on Darklands projects. All the Kickstarters have really fuelled my hobby passions for this game. With regards to Kindreds I’m now collecting Alba...

Bishmeister

I'm interested and am currebtly painting Jutes and building the Darklands demo board for Salute 2017.

More progress on the Darklands Briton board.

Great intro to your hobby. The test model is looking great, I really like the natural tones you have used. One criticism I have for the paint scheme is that because the colour tones are very similar and subtle there is no focal point, an area that draws the eye in, which is often a spot colour that ...

Bishmeister

I agree with Zedmeister, get stuck in with some Mierce models. But, very importantly, you must thin those paints down, three thin coats is better than one thick. Also multiple coats will help with paint and hand control practice and once you het better you can repaint them without oblitera ing any d...

Bishmeister

That is a gorgeous paint job for one of my favourite models. Looking forward to see what else you produce! Even the base is wonderous. What materials and colours did you use for it? Thanks for the compliments. Pirate Robot Ninja is correct, the rock formation on the base is made up from bark, not s...

Hello to all the peoples of the Darklands and beyond. This blog will document my progress through the Darklands and Mierce Miniatures hobby.
