Cold War Gets Hot - The K1Sh1 Infauna is a Russian electronic warfare (EW) vehicle. It's an electronic countermeasures variant of the BTR-80, specifically created for the Russian Airborne Troops (VDV). In game terms, this will have the potential to disrupt communications and electronic equipment.

I think it's about two years difference between these guys. Interesting to be able to show off 'Fast but Nice for Army Painting' and 'I Really Enjoyed Painting This One.'

Then finally, to finish off the week (and round out April, weirdly) it's time for a little painting of my own volition. I need more officers, so... officers it is! youtu.be/lkk4-AygsE0

Do you guys like my Votann?

Just a lil video about using cheap toys for scenery youtu.be/pxjSgwKxM3s?...

Done and dusted! With the right lighting he doesn't look quite as faded, though I do still rather like the slightly washed-out look from the first photo. Well, hey ho! Rather pleased with the battledress (or Battle Dress so they fit on the pots!) colours from Army Painter, those are dead useful.

It's a WIP Wfriday! The Warlord Games 8th Army officer painted up using a mix (literally!) of @thearmypainter.bsky.social Fanatic and new Historicals range. Trousers could be smoother, I think, but I'm happy enough with that to pop on the table for sure.

Archives: Bright Stallion style Wraithlord, painted in steampunk wood and metals. One of my favourite minis I’ve ever made.

It's fun how rich people keep taking every thing that brings us dirty proles joy and melting it down into raw capital to make their number go up

Backer #491! Just a handful more backers required to unlock the campaign mode, with solo mode already ready to rock.

Star Wars Improv: Yes Andor.

"Ooh, a preview of the Armies of Great Britain book for Bolt Action, what's that-..." ARMIES OF THE COMMONWEALTH WILL BE ITS OWN BOOK?! YESSSSSSS. warlord-community.warlordgames.com/introducing-...

Gor bless, DHL.

A rag tag group of Prussians ready for some games of Silver Bayonet this weekend. Great figures by @northstarfigs.bsky.social

Charlie Foxtrot is retiring next year, I met him at the P.A.W. show in February and he's a really fun guy to talk to so how about we make his last year a good one? @battlegames.bsky.social perhaps you could alert your historical community? 😊 #nerdlings www.charliefoxtrotmodels.com/blogs/news/c...

Who can? Votaan! No wait, that doesn't work. #warhammercommunity #warmongers #nerdlings

Taking a quick look - and an even quicker paint job - at the @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Villagers from Guards of Traitor's Toll. An absolutely packed kit of goodies which could pull double duty for all manner of games where you need clueless, wide-eyed wanderers about! youtu.be/OXNqEZQhdKE

A set of figures I’m really proud of. Available now at www.empressminiatures.com/rd59-75mm-an... #chainofcommand #boltaction #28mmparas

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

Figured I should actually get round to posting something on here! A few Government regiments are now finished for my 1685 project, here the First Regiment of Foot Guards and the Coldstream or Second Regiment of Foot Guards. All Wargames Foundry figures. #wargaming #minatures

Mōri Terumoto died 400 years ago today (by Lunar calendar, 2nd year of Kan'ei, 4th month, 27th day). So he's got a new statue in Hiroshima. Here he is alongside somewhat smaller portrayals in 15mm and 6mm.

This is the only photo I have of a now-lost Saruman I painted back in the day. Would that I knew where this horrible old wizard had ended up! ...pretty sure by now his staff would be broken.

Woah! Here I was thinking of the armoured pirates as being just 'a bit better armoured' than your typical Stargrave mooks - these guys are terrifying!

Maaaannn. I wanna go back to Japan. "Sledge, haven't you been twice-" Yeah, pretty sure that's *why* I wanna go again.

My first historical model, this is Peter des Roches, the battle Bishop of Winchester in the 12th century. This was the Salute event mini for the Baron's War by @andyhobday.bsky.social - not the easiest heraldry to do wronghanded 😅

I've been told I'm too shy about self promotion, so here is some. I design nostalgic 3D prints for wargaming that are easy to print on pretty much any FDM printer and need no supports, so there is no faffing about with support removal. Links to my stores below. #3Dprinting #Oldhammer #Nerdlings
