There’s a Ninja in My Garden

Posted June 22nd, 2009 by Howard Tayler

Well, no. There isn’t. Garden Ninja Painting Studio lives in somebody else’s garden. But they’re good friends of mine, and good things are coming.

First, though, they’ve partnered with BSCReview.com to run a contest. The winner gets a full set of patina-finished Goblin Quest miniatures. These were sculpted by my friend and mini-paint mentor Drew Olds, and are licensed characters from Jim Hines’ Goblin Quest books.

There’s a second contest starting in a week, and a third a week after that.

Now, on to good things. Garden Ninja Painting Studio is going to handle the production (and painting, for those of you who want it) of a 28mm-scale Sergeant Schlock miniature. Melissa Mayhew is putting the finishing touches on the sculpt, so we expect to have it ready in time for Christmas.

I can’t wait to get one.

In the meantime, go over to BSCReview.com and sign up to win some patina-finished pewter.

    Soooo… if the Schlock minis sell well, can we expect to see more of Tagon’s Toughs lovingly rendered in pewter in the future?

    I mean, I already know I’m buying one, but I sense some powerful incentives here…

    Great! Now I’m going to have to learn how to paint minis.

    A Schlock mini? With the remote possibility of other members of the crew to follow?

    Hmmmnnn…

    I can feel a board or RPG game idea percolating in the back of my brain…

    And a Schlock mini would be distinguishable from a carefully-melted
    mini of a random figure *how*, exactly? :)

    I suspect there is a board/miniatures game being developed, from previous communications with Howard and Sandra.

    That said, I want a schlock mini to go into my Infinity forces :P I’ll take him as an actual mercenary choice ;) :P

    @csadn: Dangit, why didn’t I think of that? It would have made the sculpting so much easier!

    And yet again I am happily obligated to give the Taylers money. Can never have too many minis.
