About

Ólafur Ó. Egils., based in Reykjavík, Iceland. Painting minis since 2021, crafting terrain since 2023, been creative since forever. This is a record of the progress.

The Longer Story

It started with a box of unpainted Gloomhaven miniatures and a friend who said "you're creative, you should paint these." What was meant to be a quick favor turned into a full-blown obsession. From those first thick-coated board game minis to grimdark Warhammer warbands to colorful Relicblade heroes — the hobby has grown and evolved over the past four years.

Along the way, painting minis led to building terrain. Two complete terrain boards (one for Warcry, one for Relicblade), a modular dungeon system, scatter terrain, and a toy castle for my son. Every project is an excuse to learn a new technique, solve a new problem, and hold something finished at the end of the day.

Somethings is the workshop where it all lives together. Painted miniatures, scratchbuilt terrain, the occasional game night, and the process of learning and improving along the way.

What I'm Making Now

Current creative focuses and active projects:

• Relicblade -- Painting minis and building terrain for Sean Sutter's adventure battle game
• Modular dungeon tiles -- A foam board dungeon system with hand-carved stone floors and scratchbuilt furniture
• Toy castle -- A collaborative build with my 6-year-old son
• This site -- Documenting the journey from board game minis to whatever comes next
