A few older miniatures painted over the last week or so. A C27 Hob hound, a C08 high elf, a couple of wardancers, two plastic skaven and some humans for my very slowly accumulating Empire army, it's C36 Hobgoblins next 🙂 #oldhammer

Painted the new Geomancer. GW seem to have forgotten about giving them 40k rules (why do you hate Necron Kill Teams, GW?), so I guess they're a spare Technomancer for now. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

A Necron Geomancer, showing off his pet rock.

#hobbystreak day 15 and I decided what my ork fort needed was even more details! Heres a winch system to raise the gate. And a bunch of metal plates on the walls. One more thing to make tomorrow, then it's painting time! #nerdlings #warhammer40k #orktober #waaaaaaaaaggggghhh

Since this went to No.1 bestseller on Wargames Vault, I will now be describing myself as "Illustrator of Bestselling Book" 👍

(reality is I did a handful of minor drawings in this)

Anyway if you are into #SpaceWeirdos go pick it up, it's great and money goes to charity.

Hey minis gamers and Space Weirdos. My discord wrote a fan expansion for Space Weirdos.
It's got house rules, new weapons and shit, and campaign rules.

I did not write this (just a couple little things), but I thought it was a good opportunity to give back -->

Cover for Weird Millenium. A space ork shoots at some sort of space bastard type. It's sick.

Thanks, it was a experiment in using EVA foam putty. This little critter bounces when you drop it. 😂

For when you can't find the right miniature #Nerdlings, sometimes you just have to make one yourself 😁

mattblackgod @mattblackgod.bsky.social · 3d

It's Friday and the theme is purple.

Let's see those glorious Puple painted #Miniatures #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

In this case a scratch built Space Slug.
