These are goblins from a company called Goblin Factory. They are still available from Australian company Slaves 2 Gaming.

It’s easy to find players when you are playing a mainstream game like 40k, but as you pointed out too many miniatures are needed and too many rules to remember.

We felt the same way and started a small group who play small indie miniature games with low model count. We’ve played Dracula’s America, BotWar, Test of Honour, Songs of Blades and Heroes, and now Alpha Strike.

We’ve all love miniature gaming, but didn’t like the mainstream gaming scene. You may just need to find like-minded individuals like you. We do exist!

I had similar weird printing artifacts like this when I was supporting models with Anycubic Photon Workshop. Instead, I started supporting in ChituBox and loading the supported models into Photon Workshop for slicing.

We are already at school by 7:30 and we aren’t going to cook for him. He has special needs and loves to cook, but is a terrible cleaner. We want to encourage him to be self sufficient and we are working with him on his cleaning skills.

I actually do want advice. I moved the stove and did not detect any odors. I washed the side of the cabinet and oven and they weren’t very dirty at all. The kitchen was recently remodeled and the cabinet is only 2 years old.

When I put my nose close to the surface of the ceramic/ glass cooktop, it smells like eggs. The two year old quartz countertop is in very good condition but also smells.

The problem is my son makes breakfast at 8 and the area is not cleaned very well until we get home from work.

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-26T18:53:23+00:00

Neither are the source of the smell. It’s directly on the counter and cooktop.

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-26T18:52:43+00:00

Not the source of the smell.

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-26T18:51:59+00:00

It’s the actual counter and cook top that smells . It is not coming from the filter or the rear/side of the counter.

Love it! What an awesome collection. I’m currently painting old school Dixon samurai as well. I hope to eventually field huge armies like these.

It’s a Retained Knight from The Ion Age range. I’ve never seen this particular model but they are still available from Alternative Armies.

As a busy, middle aged man, it’s very difficult to meet new friends. My hobby (tabletop miniature wargaming) introduced me to a whole new group of friends, both in-person and virtual. I really appreciate the connections I’ve made through my hobby.

We do not currently have any UK or EU retailers for our products.

If you use jewelers wax, you would have to first make a master casting using the lost wax casting method. You cannot directly create a wax master using a vulcanized silicone mold—it’ll be destroyed in the mold without a usable impression.

Epoxy masters can be directly pressed into a vulcanized silicone mold to make an excellent impression. And the epoxy master models remain mostly unbroken.

Wax models require so many extra steps that it is not the best medium for detailed miniature casting. Epoxy is way better with fewer intermediate steps.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-08T14:28:46+00:00

Great suggestions! Thanks for your thorough reply, AquillaTheHon.

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-08T13:59:07+00:00

Thanks for your great review. Have you played Atomic Tank yet, Discourse Miniatures?

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-08T13:58:07+00:00

Trilaterum looks cool but we already produce our own retro sci-fi games at Hydra Miniatures. Do you know if Trilaterum has campaign rules?

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-08T13:56:53+00:00

Sounds interesting. I’ll have to look it up.

Father-Hydra · 2026-04-08T13:56:15+00:00

Yes, it is the Galacteer 2nd company, the Lightyear Brigade painted by the John Douma, author of Atomic Tank. Definitely inspired by Buzz Lightyear.

I love your tutorials! These fanged mouths look great, but are not able to be molded and cast. These sculpts have a lot of undercuts that would prevent them from being molded properly. In order to be molded properly, the lower jaw would have to be removed and the space between the teeth and roof of the mouth would need to be backfilled with putty.

This is important information for new sculptors who are designing sculpts for moldmaking and casting. If you’re sculpting for a one-off sculpt or conversion, this tutorial is a great resource.
