All the Monsters, all over the place.

 So lots of pictures to show off. Lets get started.

4 Cookie sheets, 558 monsters and 4 Warriors.

 

To this point I've been storing monsters on cookie sheets. Organizing them in the order I paint them. So Cookie sheet #1 is entirly Level 1 and Cookie sheet #4 is all my most recent painted things. There wasn't quite enough space for everything on 4 sheets, so the 4 Warriors, Nagash and Vermin Lord are just hanging out on the edges.

Lets look at the monsters by Monster type closer up. First up, Orc & Goblins:

Next Project: paint all Warriors, NPCs, Summons, and Hirelings needed. If I have my math right, that's 70 models. I have 51 3D printed already and 4 painted so far. This should be a cake walk.

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Doors, Ohhh and I finished all the Monsters

 

So lets start off with some distractions. I'm hoping to start actually playing Warhammer Quest using all this stuff I made some time soon. I hadn't painted the doors yet, so I knocked that out quick.

 

9 normal doors, 2 Locked doors, and 1 Portcullis.

 

These are 3d printed like everything else, but I actually kept them at the normal size. Having the doors larger proportionally than my models and dungeon tiles, makes it easier for Cavalry Models and large models to fit inside them while half in one room and half in another. I got this STL from our old friend Tonoborus. Here they are at normal WHQ size. Here they are at Tiny Quest size.

I had to edit the "stand" part of the doors to work with my Custom Printed tiles.

I then edit his file to have a shut or locked door by adding this file.

I then edit the file again to have a Portcullis by adding this file. 

I spray painted all of these using "Mechanicus Standard Grey" and then dry brushed over that with "Administratum Grey". From there picked out metal with "Iron Breaker", wood with "XV-88", and Skulls with "Screaming Skull" and washed with "Skeleton Horde".

I think I'll print 2 more Portcullis and 6 more normal doors down the road. 

Next up, there are still some models I would replace as soon as I can get specific STLs I'm looking for.

I've been looking for the following ( most of the versions I'm looking for were available in late 90s - early 2000s)
Plastic Witch Elves (Glorious 80s hair)
Metal Witch Elves (Glorious 80s hair)
Chaos Hounds (high variety scorpion tales, scales)
Hydra
Dark Elf Beastmaster
Isabella Von Carstien
Original Mighty Zug from Blood Bowl
And Boneripper (Rat Ogre Special Character)

As it turns out Boneripper showed up in one of my Telegram Groups. So I printed him right away to replace one of the Rat Ogres I already had finished.

 

 Boneripper Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Horns:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Tail, Ears, and Nose: "Emporer's Children" Pink 
Fur: "Catachan Flesh" and dry brushed over with "XV-88"
Pimples: "Mephiston Red" dotted with "Flash Gitz Yellow"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boneripper joined by my original Rat Ogres.

So last we left, I had 3 monsters left to paint. 3rd Vampire, Vermin Lord, and Liche King. So lets start with the smallest guy.

 

I had hoped I would find the Isebella Von Carstien by the time I needed to paint my 3rd Vampire. Sadly still haven't found her STL yet, so I'll have to make do with the Generic Von Carstein model. This STL was found in one of my Telegram groups.

Vampire Paint:
Skin: "Corax White" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Cape & Cloth:  "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthsade" Wash or "Aboddon Black" /w dry brush "Dawnstone" grey
Teeth: "White Scar" white
Sash belt: "Kantor Blue"  /w "Agrax Earthsade" Wash 
Blade: "Sotek Green" dry brushed with "White Scar"
Skulls:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

 

As discussed in my last article, I need a "normal" of each greater daemon and a extra large "exalted" of each great daemon. This includes the Vermin Lord. Problem is, the model I want to use for the exalted Vermin Lord was the first ever Vermin Lord. So I needed a simpler less impressive version for my normal Vermin Lord. I had come across a conversion someone had made using the "Dweller in the Dark" model from Lord of the Rings. I followed what they did. Remove the wings, give him a rat face (stolen from Wolf Rat) and gave him a Glaive Weapon (stolen from normal Vermin Lord). I found the STL in yet another Telegram groups, this group dedicated to Lord of the Rings.

Vermin Lord Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash
Fur: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Agrax Earthshade" wash
Skull, Horns, Elbo Spikes, & Hooves:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Glaive Pummel:  "Moot Green" dry brushed with "White Scar"
Glaive Staff: "XV-88"
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Tail, Ears, & Nose: "Emperor's Children" Pink

 

 

 

 

 

Last, but not least. We need a Liche King. I was kinda surprised this showed up in the Original Warhammer Quest Monster Encounter Tables. I had assumed we added him. Liche King is a Liche that counts as a Large Monster. I can't think of a better model than old Mr. Cheeks himself, Nagash. 

Small aside. Nagash was the first Warhammer model I ever purchased. It was for my friend's Undead army for his birthday. We were in middle school, meaning this happened in the mid-90s. Painting this was awesome. The nostalgia hit hard and just seemed fitting to be the last monster I need to paint for the main game. This STL was found in one of my Telegram groups.

 

Liche King Paint:
Face-Skull, Hands, & all the tiny skulls:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Magic Sword:  "Moot Green" dry brushed with "White Scar"
Hat Wings, Scabbard, & Topper Bat: "Mephistone Red"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Book of the Dead: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Teeth: "White Scar" white
Cloak: "Xereus Purple" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash and dry brushed with "Genestealer Purple"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm up to 558 monsters painted, 558 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 10/01/25.  

That's the entire Old World monster encounter table. I painted the first miniature for this project on 12/31/24 (a giant spider). 274 days. Averaging about 2 miniatures painted per day.

Next Project: paint all Warriors, NPCs, Summons, and Hirelings needed. If I have my math right, that's 70 models. I have 51 3D printed already and 4 painted so far. This should be a cake walk.

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Greater Daemons

 

Well, its time for the biggest of the big guys, Greater Daemons. But which models should I use? 

Here we have an assortment of just a few of the models GW and Citadel Miniatures has released for Bloodthirsters (or similar daemons).

 

Something to complicate this issue, is I technically need 2 of each greater daemon. We added "Exalted" Greater Daemons. These are even bigger and more dangerous Greater Daemons. They take up 3x3 space instead of the normal 2x2 space. These do not show up on the normal Old World Monster Encounter table. They show up in Norsca and Daemon only theme Encounter Tables. But I do need to know what models those will use, so I can pick a smaller less impressive versions for my normal Greater Daemons. To maintain my late 80s through early 2000s styles, I decided to use 5th edition Greater Daemons for the Exalted versions that will show up later. So the most obvious place to get my normal Greater Daemons would be the 3rd edition models.

 With that figured out, time for some skulls for the Throne of Khorne.

Bloodthirter Paint:
Skin: "Mephiston Red"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Aboddon Black" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Great Unlcean One Paint:
Skin: "Flash Gitz Yellow"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Gums: "Emperor's Children" Pink
Tongue & Wounds: "Mephiston Red"
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Nurglings: "Warpstone Glow" green 

Left to Right: Great Unclean One, Nurgle Daemon Prince, Beast of Nurgle, Plague Bearer, Nurgling, and Elf for size comparison.

Left to Right: Lord of Change, Tzeentch Daemon Prince, Flamer, Pink Horror, Blue Horror, and Elf for size comparison.

Secrets no longer Kept!

So I have been unable to acquire the old 3rd Edition Keeper of Secrets. The other 3 Greater daemons I found on Telegram. I did find a proxi for it, that works for now. I can't figure out where I got it from, but the file says it was downloaded in February, so that would be before I joined Telegram. Likely meaning I found it through Yeggi, Cults3d, MyMiniFactory, or Thingiverse.

 

Keeper of Secrets Paint:
Skin: "Xereus Purple" 
Horns & Hooves: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Spikes, Scales, & Claws:"Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Eyes: "White Scar"

Left to Right: Keeper of Secrets, Slaanesh Daemon Prince, Fiend of Slaanesh, Daemonette, and Elf for size comparison.

I'm up to 555 monsters painted, 558 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 9/26/25.  

Only 3 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Finished Level 8 Table and start on Level 9.

 

 

Getting really close to finished with Old World Monster Encounter Table.

Last Blog entry I forgot to show off the video off all the Level 8 Monster Groups.

 

 

Lets start with the only small guy left on the level 9 Table, a 2nd Skaven Warlock. This guy was the warlock found on the classic Screaming Bell model. The Screaming Bell and this guy I found on Telegram.

Skaven Warlock Paint:
Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Sword: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash Staff topper & Amulet: "Moot Green" with "White Scar" dry brush
Staff Pole: "XV-88" 
Horns:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white 
Tail, Ears, Nose: "Emperor's Children" Pink
Hood: "Mephiston Red" and dry brushed over with (White Scar & Mephiston Red 50/50 mix)
Robes: "Sotek Green" and dry brushed over with (White Scar & Sotek Green 50/50 mix)

 Next we move onto Dragon Ogre Shaggoth. We added Dragon Ogre Lords and Dragon Ogre Shaggoths to our Old World Monster Encounter Table. I took the old school lower Dragon Ogre body and spliced the upper body of the Dragon Ogre Shaggoth onto it. I sized it up in comparison to my Dragon Ogre Champion model. To make the model hang over its base less, I used Blender to bend the body and tail into a more circular shape.

Dragon Ogre Shaggoth Paint:
Ogre Skin: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Axe Pole: "XV-88" 
Horns & Spines:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Dragon Skin: "Sotek Green" 
Scales: "Xereus Purple"
Hair: "Corax White" and dry brushed over with White Scar

 

 

 

 

Here are all 5 Dragon Ogres (3 normals, one Champion and one Shaggoth) all towering over an Elf.

I'm up to 551 monsters painted, 558 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 9/26/25.  

Only 7 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

Daemon Prince x5

 

We have 5 models left on the Level 8 Monster Encounter Table. These are all Daemon Princes. One for Khorne, one for Nurlge, one for Tzeentch, one for Slaanesh, and lastly one for Undivided. These do not exist on the normal Warhammer Quest Monster tables. This is something our group added. Much like Dragons, when one shows up your roll a D6 to determine its Mark or if its Undivided.

1-2) Undivided
3) Daemon Prince of Khorne
4) Daemon Prince of Slaanesh
5) Daemon Prince of Nurgle
6) Daemon Prince of Tzeentch 
 

When looking for what miniatures to use for Daemon Princes, I knew 3 right off the bat. The old school Daemon Prince kit, came with 2 main builds. One that was clearly Khorne and one that easily could be Slaanesh. There was also a special character,  Azazel. Although he was a Slaanesh Daemon Prince, with some minor tweaks, I could make him Tzeentch. These I found easily enough on Telegram. That left Nurgle and Undivided. For these two I dug into Age of Sigmar Miniatures, in the form of Lord of Plagues and the newest Daemon Prince model.

We will start today with the Daemon Prince of Nurgle. I found a proxi STL of the Lord of Plagues. Its mostly accurate to the the real one, other than it has a bloated puss filled right leg, really ugly, perfect for Nurgle. I felt he needed wings to sell the effect of being a Daemon Prince and not just a Nurgle Ogre. I wanted insect wings, as that felt the most Nurgle like. A non-GW company Heresy Labs makes proxies that sure look like they could be Warhammer 40k models, among them is something called a Lord of Decay. I was able to steal the wings off of that, do some editing in blender, and wham-ooh! Nurgle Daemon Prince.

Lord of Plagues left and Lord of Decay right.

 

I decided I didn't like the 3 horns coming out of the should pad, so I just left those off, instead leaving a Nurgle Sign of three circles.
 

 

Nurgle Daemon Prince Paint:
Skin: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Axe Blade, Facemask, Shoulder Pad, and Knee Pad: "Gehenna's Gold", highlight edges in "Runefang Steel" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash & "Nihilakh Oxide" Wash
Wounds: "Mephiston Red" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash & "Technical Ardcoat" for shine
Intestines: same as wounds with a "Troll Slayer Orange" dry brush before applying "Technical Ardcoat"
Around Wounds and Intestines: "Xereus Purple"
Puss Boils on leg: "Xereus Purple" & "Technical Ardcoat" for shine
Axe Staff: "Rhinox Hide"
Horn & Wing Spikes: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Leather Straps & Cloth: "XV-88"
Leather Boot: "Catachan Flesh"
Wings: "Warpstone Glow" 
Chainmail Bikini: "Sycorax Bronze"   /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Next up Slaanesh Daemon Prince. So the old Daemon Prince kit came with:
One of two heads
One of two left arms
One of two right arms
One of two Chests
One of two sets of legs with loin cloth
One of two tails
and always the same set of wings.

One of the right arms was generic, and the other right arm had two arms of which one ends in a large lobster claw. Back in the 90s I bought two copies of the Daemon Prince kit, and got the claw arm in both. I wanted to make a Daemon Prince of Khorne and a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, but didn't feel the 3rd claw arm wouldn't look right on a Khorne Daemon Prince, so I removed it with a tiny hack saw. I also didn't like how the wings looked on the Slaanesh Daemon Prince. So I got the idea, to remove the wings from the Slaanesh Daemon Prince leaving the Wing arm studs and removing his 3rd Claw Arm as well, and gluing both Claw Arms onto the Wing Studs on this back to make him kinda look like a smaller Keeper of Secrets. Now over 20 years later, I'm repeating this process using Blender to make my old Slaanesh Daemon Prince (just a little bit smaller).

 

Slaanesh Daemon Prince Paint:
Skin: "Xereus Purple"
Sword Blade: "Runefang Steel"
Sword Runes: "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash, then finalized with "White Scar" white
Sword Hilt, Hooves, Tail Spikes, & Horns:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Lobster Claws: "Mephiston Red"
Metal Bitz:  "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Now onto the Khorne Daemon Prince. This guy is mostly the stock build from the old kit, other than I didn't like the pony tail for this head, so I left it off and used green stuff to build another horn. I also left off the tail and filled in the hole with green stuff there too.

 

Khorne Daemon Prince Paint:
Skin: "Mephiston Red" (I didn't do any highlighting or shading, this was accomplished by the "slapchop" method)
Axe Blade: "Moot Green" then dry brush over with "White Scar" white
Axe Handle, Hooves, Wing Spikes, & Horns:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Teeth & Claws: "White Scar" white
Metal Bitz:  "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Eyes: "Flash Gitz Yellow"

Moving on, we get to Tzeentch Daemon Prince. As discussed earlier I started with the Special Character model Azazel. I wanted a more Tzeentch feel, so I started by replacing the front part of his face in Blender with a Griffon head I had. Then I changed out his sword with a Tzeentch staff from yet another model. Last change was to leave off the tail, I didn't care for how it looked.

 

Tzeentch Daemon Prince Paint:
Skin: "Emporer's Children" Pink
Hair, Scales, half the feathers, & Claws: "Kantor Blue" with a dry brush over with mix made of (half Kantor Blue and White Scar)
Other half of feathers: "Troll Slayer Orange" dry brushed over with "Flash Gitz Yellow"
Staff Topper: "Mephiston Red", "Kantor Blue", & "Flash Gitz Yellow"
Skull on necklace & Horns:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz:  "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Eyes & Toe claws: "White Scar" white
Beak: "Flash Gitz Yellow"
Robes: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"

Then our final stop, an Undivided Daemon Prince (one that doesn't follow any specific God of Chaos). So this model took me the most time to figure out. I eventually started with a base of the newest Daemon Prince kit.  That kit can be built for 40k or for Age of Sigmar. So clearly I choose the Age of Sigmar parts. I still wanted the model to be as simple as I could manage, so I ended up using the wings from the old Fury models. I also skipped putting the chest armor or shoulder pads on him. I left off the tail and filled in the hole using Blender. The last detail, was I swapped out the head. I happen to come across a bust STL for the Character "Darkness" from the 80s movie Legend. This daemon was played by the Tim Curry. How could I not use this here?

Undivided Daemon Prince Paint:
Skin: "Mephiston Red"
Horns, Claws, Hooves, Wing Spikes, Leg Spikes: "Abaddon Black" 
Skulls:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Metal Bitz:  "Gehenna's Gold" or "Runefang Steel" both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Eyes & Teeth: "White Scar" white
Wings: "Corax White" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Stone: "Administratum Grey" dry brushed over with "White Scar"
Loin Cloth & Belt: "Kislev Flesh"   /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

 

I'm up to 549 monsters painted, 558 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 9/21/25.  

Only 9 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
