Warhammer fan since the days of Rogue Trader and 3rd Edition, worlds slowest miniature painter, I.T. guy and occasional carver of pumpkins. Apparently completely subservient to the Rabbit Overlords, I should never have let them through the door.

The eighth marine from the Carcharodon Astra tactical squad. #nightscalestudio #carcharodons #carcharodonastra #spacemarines #spacemarinetacticalsquad #Warhammer #Warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #paintingMiniature #Paintingcomission

I tried something new today! This is one of the commissars for my Valhallan army. I.knew I wanted to convert him to have a megaphone, but it was really complicated and I had to sculpt on his epaulettes again. See the result in the second pic! #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #ImperialGuard

A 360° view of my Ork Genestealer Hybrid Freebooter. The model was released back in 1990 and is a 3rd generation hybrid... wish they had done more of these. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #Warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #GamesWorkshop #Orks

Thrud!

I do not entertain 🤣

The Hungry Child and the Crone Finished and table ready for #Shadowcon2025 #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #paintingwarhammer

And so to bed. #OldHammer #Nerdlings

Soooo… wasn’t intentional but my own car (albeit beat up more than the real thing) is going into my terrain collection. Matched the color perfectly.

here's everything i have for my RT era wolves. everything is plastic or metal, and mostly original, i have supplemented modern parts where needed, but most of it is period appropriate. #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

The Hungry Child and the Crone Crone now painted up, with the horse and crow left to do on Wednsday to finish this model off #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #paintingwarhammer

This was the first ork mini I painted after getting back into the hobby... old Rogue Trader era "space" ork Painboy with Goff backplate and custom made drill. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #GamesWorkshop #RogueTrader #MiniaturePainting

If only

Seems to me like most everyone who's preemptively complied with Trump's outrageous, often illegal demands has faced worse consequences than whatever they were threatened with, while the few who have stood their ground have been met with "oopsie, we made a mistake!" reversals from the White House.

Second chap from the 'Last Stand' Dark Angel diorama I painted in 1991 is the last remaining 1st company marine. I still marvel that I was able to get those black lines so clean and straight, something I very much doubt I could do now!

Throw Back Thursday, I did this diorama in 1991 when the Dark Angels had the 'native' Deathwing vibe going on! I called the scene 'The Last Stand' and had 1st company and 2nd in a last ditched defence against Khorne forces. Nice to see even though my Eavy Metal days are long gone I still paint on :)

One of my favourite projects of the last few years, my Gaslands Genestealer cult; the Faithful Sons. #gaslands #genestealercult #40k #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Seen some comments on a video about me 'not inventing' Marine Juice, which is true. It's an old FW army painting trick from the days of Seraphim Sepia. I think I've spent enough time over the last few years tweaking the recipe to be consistent with modern paints I can lay a little claim, tho! 😜

Trump tried to start a trade war. The internet responded with penguin memes. We’ve collected the most savage, surreal, and strangely moving in one place.

I watch a lot of stuff about cults [it's my side interest] and MAG* fits most of the indicators of a cult. The cult education institute offers these warning signs for loved ones who are concerned a person might be in a cult. culteducation.com/warningsigns... - wish more people took this seriously.

Yarrr, tis’ Captain Wither and the crew of the Kraken, cursed to sail the Ghost Archipelago in search of redemption. #ghostarchipelago #pirates #arcworlde #miniaturepainting #minipainting #citadelminiatures #marauderminiatures

Oooh what’s this!? a new Sharpe narrative battle report Episode!!!! youtu.be/Lrj19cjLxas?...

Progress! Number 7 finished and the final 3 have advanced somewhat. Very much looking forward to moving on to something else! #warhammer

That was a fast turnaround, dispatched yesterday and just delivered. Amazing scenery pieces from the 'Lost Shores: Deep Ones' KS from @fenrisgames.com 🤩🐙

Progress made. I now have 6 ready to be based. 4 to go... Big decision to come, do I base them to go with my Deathguard or do I treat them as a new army and try something different? (Or something in-between?)

Look what I received from my other half yesterday courtesy of @fenrisgames.com, purveyor of fine mugs and finer miniatures. Swiftly summoned after she clocked my look of horror when I managed to crack my original. Tea was not included 😲

I spent an unexpected week off trying to blast out a unit of Plaguebearers. A week and a half later, the unit of 10 I started has dwindled to a total of 1 finished. Well, finished minus the base but I will take it. 9 more to go... #warhammer #toslowtopaintanarmy

Always love to see genre making the mainstream news! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thank-you @fenrisgames.com, a veritable pile of #oldhammer metal arrived today, I'm sure I only ordered it on Monday... It looks like, come dawn, it will be pin vices at 10 paces... #newlead #warmongers #dnd #wargames

Tonight's viewing:

Talking of ko-fi, then: a New Year's Update for followers on that *other* other platform. Pics and news of upcoming releases, two new kickstarters, and a budget way to get your hands on the ENORMOUS John Dennett dragon turtle from Forge of Ice. Details here! Support and access from as little as £1.

Diehards next KS will be Fantasy Orcs, New Hand Weapon, Spear, Bows and Crossbows units will be coming also new 'Orcy' style Familiars, Command Group, and an LE Orc Shaman. These all fit perfectly with Diehards existing orc units diehardminiatures.com

You could write something akin to War and Peace on all that is going on here.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

One more set of bases finished before the bells... I am on the fence with the sculpted bases, I think I would prefer the choice. #Warhammer #WarhammerUnderworlds

Some frantic basing to get these finished before the new year. Embarrassingly, I think I painted them in February. My 3rd edition undead horde has now reached the grand total of 20. #Warhammer #theoldworld #WarhammerFantasy

Well it’s been a busy year, starting a new channel, figuring out editing, videography, audio among many other things. Even with all the steep learning curves it’s been a blast. very much looking forward to 2025 Much love Peachy

I built this last year and retrieved it from my local stores display cabinet recently. 2025 is going to be the year that I learn to take better pictures. #warhammer #warhammer-community
