I paint minis, sometimes retro, sometimes modern, almost always Warhammer.

People keep telling me the Lamenters symbols are hard to paint. So I sculpted them. *taps nose*

#hobbystreak day 163 The previous owner made these terminators as per instructions. But these are first company veterans trusted with the rarest armour in the chapter! Time to add some spice!

OK, it's *well* worth drilling those tiny barrels. It was a pain, sure, but now it looks like a gatling gun!

Next project selected. For those we cherish!

#hobbystreak day 461 It was an early start today since my cat brought me a 5am mouse gift! Gave me a chance to finish up the rock lobber before my son woke up! My dwarfs have a good selection of war machines now, so it might be time to change project for a bit? #warhammer #TheOldWorld #dwarfs

Good morning Nerdlings. It appears to be Friday again, honestly where’s the time going? Anyway this week the theme is…sneaky. So let’s see those things that creep up on you. As usual I’ll repost the lot., and if you like something share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

#hobbystreak day 458 A sudden burst of energy today and the crew go from nearly only undercoated to fully basecoated and inked. I finished the rock lobber itself a couple of days ago, almost finished another warmachine for the dwarfs.

Basecoats finished, and the first layer of liquid talent (nuln oil) applied to the steel. It's starting to look ready to use now!

Remembered to take a photo of my Orc Boar Boyz. Loved how they turned out. #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #OldWorld #Orcs

#hobbystreak day 453 So many little silver bands to paint. Spent about an hour tonight just painting the edges, edge, full in the center. Edge, edge, full in the center. Edge, edge, full in the center. So yes, I spent valentines night edging.

I think we need to update maps so that all of Trump's golf courses are renamed 'Golf of Mexico'.

Putting those newly painted traps to use. That poor peasant being hit in the back by a flaming gargoyle breath won us the game.

#hobbystreak day 451 Got the rock lobber and crew undercoated, then started putting down some red and brown to block out the basic scheme. 'Fun' fact, I forgot I had the rock lobber, do my pile of shame went up 4, made me feel I had to do this next to 'undo the damage'.

We were at a battle His ear shaped into a point Someone fired and smashed him It was a rock lobber Rock lobber Rock lobber We were at the war Everybody had matching plate Somebody went onto a hill And there they saw a rock It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobber Rock lobber Rock lobber Rock lobber

What goes up must come down. A simple rule that the Dwarfs of Karak Norn use to great effect with their rock lobbers. For indeed, when a great Eagle flies over their grey mountain hold, they will pelt it with boulders till the damn thing comes down. Relations with the wood elves remain strained.

Herr Felix Jaeger, best selling author of ‘My Travels with Gotrek’, published by Altdolf Press (Available in all good book shops), is ready to join my dwarf throng. He’s the 100th ‘dwarf’ for my army. #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #Dwarf52

#hobbystreak day 449 The last few finishing touches were done on the cannon crew (I've now fixed the blotch on the swabbers' face). Now it's time to choose my next project!

February and March are super busy with events for us. We'll be at; 16th February - Scorched Game Day, Worthing 23rd February - Mid Sussex Meeples, Burgess Hill 8th March - Crawley Comic Con 14th-16th March - Airecon, Harrogate 29th-30th March - Paradice, Worthing Hope to see you there!

OK, everyone, I need a vibe check. Where does a pile of shame of 200 unpainted minis fall on the: That's rookie numbers! to Girl, you have a problem! Spectrum?

More progress on the cannon crew. These guys have balls. That they like to send flying at people at ridiculous speeds. Reaching the inking stage, they are closer to done than they appear. Plus, I always leave beards to last!

#hobbystreak day 445 Life has proved to be very busy, so I've been hobbystreaking the bare minimum. Even so, tonight, I finished off the last of the 20 traps I needed to do for Village attacks. That brings my pile of shame down to 209, with 36 miniatures painted so far this year!

Warhammer is great and all. But there is pure satisfaction in a fully filled plastic tray of painted board game miniatures!

Some of those that work forces Are the same that ride horses

#hobbystreak day 441 Oh, and I have 441 followers. Fun! I'm enjoying doing these board game pieces, 15 mins of slap chopping a piece, and they look decent. It's nice seeing my pile of Shane decrease daily! Also started on the cannon crew who might be standing in a dangerous place!

#hobbystreak day 440 I'm feeling quite a bit better today. Decided to use my energy on some more slapchops for Village Attacks. This time, I'm working on the traps, lovely shiny piles of gold to lure the marauding peasents into the spike traps and boulder corridors!
