Painted up this xeno-smurf proxy from War Scenery.

He's got no obvious rules, so he’ll probably end up as a mission objective. 😀

If you're looking at FDM-printing, the Bambulab A1 Mini is kind of small-ish.

Oh, thanks! Guess the filler primer and sanding paid off. 😀 I mean it is a bigger print, not a mini as such.

Thanks! 😃 Hope the Fallout minis turn out as you want them!

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots!"

I printed (FDM) and painted this wobbly version of Truck Dad Optimus as a gift for a younger friend.

Got the chance to paint some minis and terrain from the latest War Scenery Kickstarter. Only 24 hours left – so jump in while you can!

Thanks! 😃 I haven't tried painting fdm prints in many years was a bit surprised that fdm can look pretty good nowadays, if sanded and painted.

I painted up these plasma generator things from War Scenery and they were delightfully reminiscent of the Space Marine ones from Dawn of War. 😃

"On my mark, full inferno!" 🔥
- Hellhound, Dawn of War: Winter Assault

I painted up this Hellhound for a recent game with my 122th Cadian Regiment - the "Kasr Kraf Jackals".

Painting vehicles is always a blast!

So I FINALLY painted up Straken! Good timing, huh?

Oh well. Thank you for your service, Colonel!

- Thar Ariak Hraldir, Wolf Priest

With the coming release of the new Space Wolf Priest, I felt it was time to paint up this old metal model.

After finishing painting a bunch of genestealers, I've been playing Aliens: Dark Descent on PC. It is surprisingly good!

Now I kind of wanna paint those boardgame models from Another Glorious Day in the Corps...

I'm gonna paint up some minis for a friend to use for the Game of Thrones Boardgame instead of the normal armies. Pref. with flavor for each house.

Question is - which minis would be the appropriate scale as we also need to see the icons on the map?

Plastic or STL/printable, either would be fine.

DorkMachinations @dorkmachinations.bsky.social · Mar 19

I think it is mostly a matter of habit. I am used to rolling low, as most older swedish TTRPGs used that and it worked fine. But either is fine...

#Genestealers! These are old models used as test subjects. 😃

I’m happy to share that I won gold in the 40k Unit category at The Fang 2024, hosted by Warhammer Stockholm last October!

I held off announcing this until now as I just got the diploma today.

There were so many amazing entries! I'm thrilled to have placed at all. 😃

It did seem quite useful, and not just as in a "holy shit I need something now" way either.

Unfortunately, I don't really play many TTRPGs these days and haven't played DnD like... Ever. 😀

But the charts and ideas seemed general enough so they could be used in whatever system.

Got to say, this looked quite useful judging by the preview. Nice job.
