Double-spoilers; apparently the tickets already sold out, and even I only made it onto the reserve list? Damn, the AoS community loves that stuffy Worcester basement!

Thought I was done for the day, but remembered that with three weeks to paint one model, I actually enjoy the process, so threw some more colours down.

Not technically visible; working out how Lahmian Medium works!

The steampunk Hearthkyn again, this time with the addition of some dark blue clothing, some almost-black leather, and a pastel pink tube and housing for his steam drill.

Day 13 of Painttober, and we've laid down the base of the armour. I'd say I've done a good job turning an extremely Brassy Brass into a weatherbeaten verdigris copper... now we just need to highlight it out of dull flatness without losing any of that!

#AoS #tmanpaintchallenge #ageofpainttober

My steampunk Hearthkyn, now featuring some dull copper armour and metal detailing, with notable turquiose verdigris in the recesses. The lighting is... subpar.

One ticket has become available for the 4th PubHammer Open but- drop me a line if you fancy it? RT’s appreciated

Spoilers: the very first tournament of 2026 is going to be the next Mercia Madness in Worcester on January 3-4. And since Tadpole's finally managed to schedule it for a weekend our Discord calendar doesn't explicitly show there's another tournament on, I'll be there losing with my FeC army! #AoS

How about an entire Hawaiian shirt with both your cats on?

2-3 is a good enough result.

Still no Coolest Army though 😕

Pictured: turns 1-4 of game 5, the exciting art of thundering into the Slaanesh hoardes, then chasing the remains around the board.

...and Kragnos charging Gordrakk, inflicting 18 charge mortals, whiffing every single attack for the last two, then barely surviving to finish the job next turn.

Pulled out of the Wooden Spoon death dive the only way I can; smacking a Destro army harder than it smacked me.

Highlights include some Ironguts charging a Gouger, which made them strike last and splatting then, despite being explicitly warned about that...

But what a Wooden Spoon it is!

It's another weekend where I'm eyeing up the Wooden Spoon... #AoS

A 10-75 loss to Sam, not shown in Tabletop Battles because it fundamentally doesn't understand Noxious Nexus.

A pretty close game against Dave's FeC, but he deployed better and my dice were sulky. Nearly drew with a Turn 5 hail Mary, but them's the shakes.

When you see the Team NI dice come out next to the Angry Dwarf Gunline, you know it's going to end with Kragnos in a smoking crater.

SUBMARINE TIME
#AoS

Start of Turn 1. I have some models on the board.

Start of Turn 2. I don't have a lot of models on the board. There were none left at start of Turn 3.

Well here we are again.

Got a nark on and glued on the sand on the way to bed, and dear lord this is going to be a problem, because they are absolutely literally the same colour.

The sand-coloured sand, glued to the sand-coloured base. I'm not joking, they are literally the same colour.

Day 9 of Painttober, and we have a tube for the steam drill, a fine white undercoat, and a whole ONE colour of paint! I'd have done basing with the sand as well, but my amazing command of time management made its appearance.

#AoS #tmanpaintchallenge #ageofpainttober @travellingmanuk.bsky.social

My steampunk Hearthkyn, undercoated white, with his entire base painted a flat sand colour.

My wife found a cheap and cheerful spice rack to stick on the pantry door, so finally my boys are reunited, and future dinners should be less bland.

A hanging spice rack, filling half of a door with tasty goodness.

That's LinkedIn all over to me; it might cloak itself in the gravitas of a professional environment, but it's just as divorced from reality and hinged on engagement as any other social media platform.

Trying something new but familiar in the new year, and going to do one of the official GW tournaments at Warhammer World. Watch this space for The Mighty One-Rollers! #AoS

I fear that you have to book train tickets the femtosecond you know you need them in this country 🙁

Apparently just about doable! My Shards need some love on the bases, but I reckon the job's a good 'un!

To a certain extent; I'm aiming for the Coolest Army trophy, and that needs a fairly good paint job to carry my conversions.
