Some Shenanigans

 I am slowly working on some miniatures. In the meantime, here is a silly drawing I did, pen and ink on paper, of what can happen when goats get up to shenanigans, whether it be fainting goats, screaming goats, or regular goats.

Space Minotaurs (aka Red Bulls?)

 Space Minotaurs from Warblade Miniatures

In my universe, these will be known as red bulls or red devils to some people, greebles in their own language. Though they may look fierce, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. They could be big tough guys, employed by those who want some muscle, good or bad. Or they could be easy-going, soft-hearted sidekick types. Depends on the situation and scenario, and which tropes one wants to lean into.

They were fun to paint. A nice change of pace from the usual sci-fi minis.

Here is a size comparison with an orc, a dwarf, and a human.

Hench Goons and Updated Uniforms

 These are Warblade Minatures Space Enforcers Corps metal minis. I painted them using a similar color scheme to the one they used in the image for the Kickstarter as I didn't have a better one in mind. I think they look good as a squad of hench goons and leader for some evil bad guy or evil organization of some kind. Heavily armored, so they can probably shrug off hits, but probably slow moving and probably not a good range of vision with those silly helmets. ha ha

Space Mage Reaper plastic mini. I tried to paint the sword as a laser sword or power sword of some kind (definitely not a light saber).

I decided to darken up this operative mini for dark ops, with a green wash; previously posted without the dark wash here: https://talesofmirth.blogspot.com/2026/01/a-few-more-sci-fi-minis.html

I've been rebasing some of my sci-fi minis onto smaller bases to be more consistent. At least ones where that's possible. I've left space orcs on larger bases as they tend to fit better on the larger bases. Anyway, while doing that with these troopers I also decided to repaint parts of them. I had originally painted them mostly light gray. I decided to make them a little more colorful and went with a color scheme based on 19th century Colonial British infantry, with red shirts/tunics and blue trousers, with white helmets. I like that color scheme better. You can see how they looked previously in the post here: https://talesofmirth.blogspot.com/2019/07/spaceship-troopers.html

A Few More Sci-Fi Minis

 More from Effigy Minis Crisis Protocol Kickstarter.

I realized these first three had similar suits to the previous troops I had painted in green so I decided to paint them in similar colors. The first one, with the pink hair, could be some sort of operative. The second one is in the act of taking off her helmet, and the third one seems to be communicating with someone.

Next, we have a couple of more flashy, dynamic characters. I'm not sure what they are up to or who they are. Potential villains? Heroes? One of each? Something else? Who knows.

And finally, a couple of civilians. Possibly executives, patrons, bosses, etc. I figured they'd mostly be encountered indoors or in urban areas with some sort of pavement or other hard surface.
