Sasha || commission me a mech @n13e86.bsky.social · 10d

I painted this one twice!

A miniature of a demon, dull red, resting with a massive patinated sword.

Same model, converted - the sword is engulfed in flames, and the wing behind is feathery.
This one is not red, but very pale blue. With red loincloth.

The first of my siblings duo of wraith lords is finished! I'll finish the other one later but I should probably do some chores first #nerdlings #aeldari #warhammercommunity #40k #eldar

Front view of a wraith lord in bone white and purple colours. A black hole and stars are depicted on his head.

Same model photographed from the right to show off his rocket launcher

Same mini from the left to show off his bright lance

Same model from the back to show off his rune stone

Archmagos Prime finished !
Really enjoyed this fig, so much fun to paint.
I tried new technique for the NMM and tried to make electric arc on the spear, turned out pretty good I think !

I painted a squad of @warlordgames.com s US Rangers this weekend. These guys will be used with my Konflikt '47 US army as they are old tech & make cheap fodder & a tempting target for the Axis forces.

Also, if I ever decide to get into Bolt Action, they can be used for that too.

Continuing to have an immense amount of fun painting Helsmiths of Hashut, including coming up with a rune symbol for my force's ziggurat.

Helsmiths of Hashut Infernal Cohort standard bearer. A Chaos Dwarf in scale mail and helm painted red, gold, and dark brown poses imperiously with his regiment standard, an orange Hashutite rune on a red banner.

We are saddened to learn that game designer and writer Rob Wieland has passed away. Rob was a passionate and dedicated supporter of the TTRPG hobby, and we loved to see his influential coverage of the industry in the august pages of Forbes, and at EN World...

Victor (probably my very first and worst ktbash) is in my hands again, rather then just an old photo memory. And a scout/merc!

This morning I was surprised by an unexpected package.
An old friend out housemate had discovered a smattering of my ancient mid 90s minis in their storage and sent them to me!
I had forgotten these orks till I saw them again, and the nostalgia is hitting me like hammer blows.
#WarhammerCommunity

2 metal or minis I painted in the mid 90s, Goblin green bases and all.

Waaaaaagh! Some runtie gitz and a proper Orky lad for Orktober!

Painted using modern paints but in a 90s bright hammer style.

10 Gretchin and an Ork Runtherd, on top of a piece of Warhammer 40'000 scenery that isn't painted.

So this is a marine juice like wash all over and then yellow highlights on the armour. Trying to decide if I like the shade of yellow. It will have chips later.
