More Endless Spells! This time for my Slaves to Darkness. I struggle with fire effects & habitually avoid kits with fire of any sort. This made me face that problem head on. I'm OK with how they turned out. But I'm going to keep on avoiding fire whenever I can. #WarhammerCommunity #AgeofSigmar

Having painted nothing but Tyranids these last few weeks, I needed a palette cleanser. So, I painted some Endless Spells for my #StormcastEternals. Although the focus was on speed, I think they turned out reasonably well. Now to try them on the tabletop. #WarhammerCommunity #AgeofSigmar

Tyranids or Ultramarines?

Thanks everyone for your advice in the run up to this game. I had lots of fun and contrary to all expectations, I survived past turn 2. A key takeaway is I need Lictors! I already have my next game booked. The chittering swarm will descend to feed once more. #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

I'm set to play the first ever game with my new Tyranid army today. Pic of my list attached. I'm facing the World Eaters. Seeing as I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm fully expecting to get tabled by turn 2 😜 Regardless, this should be a fun game. Wish me luck! #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

Wow! I'm getting much faster at this. These einforcements are ready to join the hive. I added a traitor guardsman to the photo for a sense of scale. The models are massive. Only a few more kits left for me to do before I can call time on this project. #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

Another #WIPWednesday and it's been quite the journey with this #Tyranids army. These four are the last models from the big batch I bought during my Christmas break. And they are huge! I'm really looking forward to getting them painted. #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K

The next brood of Tyranids are ready to join the swarm. The bugs keep getting bigger and bigger. #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

#WIPWednesday sees me sticking with my pledge to not start a new project until I've completely finished the current one. I'm making good progress with this army. But I still have lots more bugs to build and paint. #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

Reinforcements for my Tyranid swarm. This time, there are "brain bugs" for some tasty synapse & psyker shenanigans. BTW, I'm really starting to get the hang of working with contrast paints now. How did we ever live without them? #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

This is exactly what I'd envisaged when I started collecting this army. A near endless swarm of Tyranids chomping their way across the tabletop. Not really fussed about how they're going to perform. It's all about the "rule of cool" just now 😜 #WarhammerCommunity #WH40K #Tyranids

I've made a start on my "New Year, New Army". Having found a fast paint scheme on YouTube (thank you StrikingScorpion82) the Termagant production line is in full swing. I'm so looking forward to re-enacting Starship Troopers on the tabletop: "It's an ugly planet, a bug planet!" #WarhammerCommunity

Looks like there's a race to the bottom when it comes to social media. Meta just reminded me why I quit FB & stopped posting to IG. When I left Twitter last year, I briefly switched to Threads before finding BlueSky. Guess I'll be walking away from Threads too now. No great loss.

I've not really given #WH40K 10E a chance TBH. I've only played two games this entire edition. Horus Heresy has been scratching the grimdark itch for me these last couple of years. I'm aiming to give 10E a go in 2025. And of course, a new year means a new army. Feeling peckish? 😉 #WarhammerCommunity

🧵 I just watched a YouTube video explaining the origins of the Latin Alphabet. youtu.be/CYqqFqoLnnk?... I knew it came from the Phoenicians via the Greeks. Each letter was given a name which starts with the letter sound. What completely blew me away was the Phoenician names for each letter. 1/5

🧵The last few months have been a little unsettled. But, amidst the uncertainty, I've managed to achieve two personal stretch goals I set myself for the last quarter of 2024. The first was to clear my hobby backlog and the second was to lose weight. (1/3)

I've been dieting & exercising regularly for the last 3 months. My reward for hitting my weight target is a pizza. I've been thinking about that pizza today. It's so tantalisingly close now. 🍕👀

Okay so interestingly enough, hashtags in alt text do not behave as hashtags, but they are searchable. I bring this up b/c hashtags in #minipainting and #warhammercommunity posts are starting to get wild, & longer username tags means space to write posts is actually shrinking even w/ 300 chars.

A month on and I'm sticking to my promise. I haven't bought a single mini yet. And I won't until I completely clear this backlog. It's been one heck of a grind and I'm not done yet. Here's my progress to date. Green is done. Red is pending. I'm well past halfway. I know I can do this. 💪🏾

Still working my way through my backlog. This time it's Fallout Super Mutants. I've only ever played one game of Wasteland Warfare. Working through my backlog has shined a light on my hobby psychology. I have many models from games I was hyped to play but never did for one reason or another.

Since there's more people here now and Xitter suppressed links, I'm going to once again try to convince 100,000 of you to please follow my YouTube channel so I can be motivated to make more videos! #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer #warhammer40k #nerdlings #Necromunda youtu.be/ead_-0l-j00?...

No gaming this weekend, so I'm spending my hobby time on painting. Finished reinforcements for my Old World Dark Elves that have been sitting in my cupboard for almost a year. Unfortunately, no one is playing the game here so these Cold One Knights are headed back into storage 😢

Continuing to work my way through my hobby backlog & sticking with my promise not to buy anything new until it's cleared. This week, I've finished two #Frostgrave warbands. No other players where I am. So, I've built these for trial games to get people interested. Fingers crossed🤞🏾

Life's getting busy. I'm struggling for time to hobby. I always prioritise gaming over painting, but I never field grey plastic. So, I ignore my inner perfectionist & paint to get things tabletop ready quickly. That means basecoat & wash only. Here's an example I just completed & it'll do nicely 👍🏾

Finally made a start on the Stormcast Eternals from the Skaventide box set, along with an old 3E Warrior Starter set I had lying about. I went with the classic Hammers of Sigmar scheme. Loving how quick and easy this is to paint up.

Another cracking weekend of gaming. Great atmosphere at the FLGS too. It was packed and the tables were buzzing with all the games going on. I opted for some 6mm action with Legions Imperialis and some 15mm action with Flames of War. Looking forward to next weekend already 😁

<Cue a long, piercing wail> When you have lived with your backlog for so long, the moment of revelation is a shock 😱 So here's (almost) my entire backlog. All built, primed & ready to paint. Still a few stragglers to do, but OMG! Where do I even start ...? PS. Can you spot all the game systems? 🧐

So, when you've taken a solemn oath, before God & Wife, that you won't buy any new kits until you've cleared your backlog ... well erm ... Ladies & Gentlemen, that's when the sh*t gets real!!

An important part of the hobby is introducing others to a game you love. Offered to run #HorusHeresy intro games at my FLGS using my models. The offer was accepted and we played a small, fluffy & really fun game. Outcome? Age of Darkness box purchased & another player excited to get into the game 😁

We'll, it's #WipWednesday and I'm making some homebrew terrain. This time, I'm looking to add some modular contouring to my gaming table. Hill one is done. Onto hill two ...

It's #SoloSunday & I've played 2 games so far. Game 1: A Blooded Killteam clash with recalcitrant Chaos Cultists. WH40k setting using Spectre: Operations 3E rules. Game 2: A Chaos Warband searches for an artefact deep in the Kruleboyz swamp. AOS setting using Frostgrave rules. This is the way!

Saw this on Threads. I mean, you can't argue with their logic. #JustSaying 🤓
