Painting Competition: Shades of Red 4 – Fear the Darkness!

The 1st of April is Under The Couch’s 4th birthday, and as has become a birthday custom, we’re launching our next painting competition. The theme this time around is “Fear the Darkness.” What we’re looking for is miniatures themed around the darkness: things that go bump in the night, a soldier kitted out for skulking [...]

Renegade Miniatures Orc Warrior
