I logged into my Facebook for the first time in a long time and was flashbanged by the fact I painted this fella FIVE YEARS AGO. I remember painting him up for the Iron Skull comp in London and taking away a finalist pin! It was quite a challenge to figure out rusty NMM #paintingwarhammer

I resonate with so much of this! I wasn’t even alive for the true Oldhammer period, but there’s just something about it that makes sense to me. Less corporate, more free, much weirder. Anemoia is real. What a great article, @rosgakori.bsky.social!

Some River Trolls attacking Dwarf charcoal burner camp. Cleary a mighty band of Slayers is needed to end this menace! Terrain pieces mostly by @fogoumodels.bsky.social #warhammer #oldhammer

40k as imagined by the people behind 1980s Doctor Who and with the exact same budget would be its perfect form. It's not a British sci-fi if it isn't a bit shit in a kind of charming way.

Wood Elf Highborne. One of my fav minis of 6th edition. Painted with a psychodelic, trippy forest color scheme inspired by saturated tones of Jackon's Mirkwood sets pre-digital color grading #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #theoldworld #woodelves

Top quality video essay, this ‘un. I love media that’s caught in the weird liminal space between ‘nostalgic’ and ‘contemporary’, and anything published on CD definitely fits right in there. youtu.be/eRby6vV7XJA?...

To start us off - a blast from the past. Retro, Eavy Metal Blood Angel meant to evoke the style of 2nd edition 40k. Especially John Blanche's famous starter set cover art, back from the days before he went cyber-Rembrandt with his palette

Does anyone else have a beloved project that seems to be stuck permanently unfinished? Maybe 2025 is the year I finally paint the rest of my Kev Adams Warcry Warband. #paintingwarhammer #oldhammer #warhammerfantasy #warcry #skirmishgames

I'll start re sharing some Instagram hobby stuff here, starting with the scuzzy bounty hunters I made with "Wanted! Reward 10k cc" in mind. Largely just an excuse to chop up the three space marines I own and make maximalist goofy weirdos out of them. Tiny heads, big guns, Rogue Trader style #inq28

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a submarine? Does it still smell of enamel paint after several years?

So frickin’ sick! I think my little brother had this toy as a kid. Amazing to see it transformed like this.

Toff Karld Ganzlür’s regiment for #turnip28. They follow the ways of the old world clinging to the textiles and customs of the past. An ominous chorus of Shape Note singing is said to be heard as they advance toward their foes, prophesying their enemies demise.

Totentanz, the Hermit Lich, keeps little company. Apart from the fleshless skeletons that attend and defend him, the stitched together husks of old acolytes… and dozens and dozens of rats 🐀💀 #paintingminiatures #minipainting #necropolis28 #28community #skirmishgames #grimdark
