Tabletop Miniature Terrain and Accessories
In today’s video I assemble eight of the Liberators that come in the Age of Sigmar Starter Set for Warhammer from Games Workshop.
These models were really easy to assemble as they’re only a few pieces each.
I decided to leave the shields off of the miniatures so that I can paint them separately and then attach them later on.
Can’t wait to get these primed and then to start paining them and the rest of the models in this set.
Today I decided to gather up as many of my painted miniatures as I could find and get them displayed in my glass display case.
Up until now my glass case had some of my painted miniatures, intermixed with a whole bunch of assembled but unpainted miniatures as well and this meant that I didn’t have enough room for my painted minis.
So today I decided to clear out space and move anything that is not at least 90% painted out of the case to make room for what I’ve already painted.
As you can see I have a lot of different armies started in various games, but nothing really fully finished.
This is mostly due to the fact that back in 2011 when I launched TabletopGamer.com, my plan at that time was to run an online store selling miniatures and so I was painting a variety of different miniatures from a variety of different games to showcase all the different categories of products I would be selling.
Since I’m no longer pursuing that, I’m planning on focusing my attention a lot more on painting larger sets of just a few different armies – mostly from Games Workshop.
By displaying my minis in a nice display case, protected from dust, I think it will motivate me to paint more and get more armies completed.
Here are some pics from my display case as it is today.
As you can see in the picture above, I’ve got quite an eclectic collection of various armies starter – LOL. Time to FOCUS more on one at a time. 🙂
In this pic you can see my mostly completed Ork army from Assault on Black Reach, and the start of my Age of Sigmar army.
These to pictures represent the majority of the miniatures I’ve painted so far but not all of them.
I still have a few others that I painted years ago, which I’ve got to track down in my various boxes.
But at least getting these ones displayed in my glass case feels rewarding and is motivating me to start painting a lot more.
What do you think of my collection so far?
I recently decided that I wanted to learn how to use an airbrush for painting my miniatures so I started doing some research on the best airbrush to get as a beginner and pretty much everyone recommended the Badger Patriot 105 as an all-around great starter brush.
I ended up picking one up at an art supply store locally, and today I did a quick unboxing video to show you guys what’s inside the box.
Check it out here:
What do you think?
Have you used an airbrush before?
What are your thoughts on the Badger 105?
I haven’t had a lot of time to do any more painting since the painting party I had last weekend, but I did want to post a few more pictures of my Sigmar Prosecutors at the current stage of their paint progress.
The first picture caught the top part of the miniature in better focus, and the second one caught the base in better focus.
I still have yet to do some dry-brushing / highlighting on the base but besides that what do you guys think of the model so far?
These next two pictures show the second Prosecutor and then both of the together, side by side.
The two small “boulders” on the base are actually just two small pieces of gravel from my front driveway.
I put them there because I think they look good, but also because the weight of the gravel rocks weighs down the base of these miniatures so that they don’t fall over so easily since they’re so tall and they have that wide wingspan.
Once I put the gravel rock there, they don’t fall over as easily anymore.
I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to go with the gold / red color scheme, or if I should go with gold / blue like they’re show on the GW website, but I think I’m going to stick to the red.
What do you guys think?
In today’s video I assemble the three Retributor models that come with the Age of Sigmar starter set.
The models were the easiest models to put together in the set so far.

What do you think of this model?
