Muskets and Tomahawks terrain

 The first post of 2025 is about Musket and Tomahawk's terrain. I spent a few hours crafting some decor to start playing the game. Most of the material is foam, I used my Proxxon and a glue gun for most of the work. I also had access to some Dungeons by Hand for the shingles. The fences are made of craft and bing matches sticks. The Native American village was more challenging, I had to do some research about Northern East Coast Native American longhouses and wigwams, and it took me some time to decide which technique would be the best again, I decided to use foam to simulate the bark. Some STL files are around but my goal was to use only the material I had on hand and to use my brain. Overall, it is ok, I had to compromise.

Warmaster army storage

 This summer I painted an Orcs army to play Warmaster again. I was looking for a convenient and cheap way to store this army and a late Roman army for Warmaster Ancient. I found 6$ craft storage boxes, I added some roof flashing sheets and some screws and it was done. I am pleased with the result. The magnetized sheets are really versatile! 




Clippers

 A short post about the new Clippers I found online. In the past 30 years, I used 4 different clippers and they were working more or less the same, but not this time! These clippers cut like a charm, and I have, most of the time, nothing to sand after. If you are looking for a new tool, try this brand!

Green Stuff World Oxidizer

This is a short post today to present my test with the Green Stuff World oxidizer effect. I still have to try it on miniatures, but I enjoy the result for these terrain pieces.

News

Hello! I just want today to provide a short update about my activities as a creator. I considerably increased my interests during the past few years and miniatures are not anymore my main focus. I discovered the joy of blacksmithing, woodworking or block printing. That doesn't mean I will stop painting and play. To be honest I did so many commissions for miniatures that I needed a break to light again the flame and concentrate of my personal work. See you next time! Oh! By the way, the name of the blog change to pierredeyriscreations.

Call of Cthulhu, corrupted book handout


Well you may not know but I am a huge fan of the Call of Cthulhu tabletop rpg by Chaosium. I like it for a lot of reasons, one of them is preparing the handouts. This weekend I worked on a corrupted book. I will use it to share clues and other stuff with players during games. This is the level you can expect if you play with me.

Edoneth Deepkin painting commission

The mysterious Edoneth Deepkin are great to paint! I do not play anymore AOS for a long time but I still enjoy painting miniatures for it.





Roads system

After the rivers I decided to do the same with roads. The goal was pretty much the same but I wanted also to use this roads system for different periods of time and for fantasy.












Nemesis boardgame painting commission

Back in March I received a text from a customer who was asking if I would be interested with this commission. It was again very fun and I was pleased to try again my speed painting technique to complete this job.





Rivers system

Finalized few weeks ago this rivers system. Took a while to define the best way to do it. I have seen a bunch of ideas on You Tube and Internet but I wanted to keep it simple and cheap. I reached my goal.
