Novocastrian, Bit of a nerd, painter of Warhammer (30k, the Old World, 40k, AoS, probably more) and I might even play games! Glad to escape the hellscape of the "other place"

One of the things I was pleased with last year was a quick little tutorial for doing nice and easy bases! I'm going to try and keep doing them I think just to keep in the habit!

Crusaders are the best! By far one of ym favourites, and the Churchill in that camo pattern is amazing, I had to do one myself

More progress in Carab Culln tonight and he's almost done! Need to source some transfers for him and finish his basing but I'm liking how he's turning out!

I've made a bit more progress on my #Badab project last night, and this time it's Commander Culln! I followed a Cult of Paint guide and it's turned out nicely. Still a bit more to do but looking good!

I read that as in Victorian time period and not the place, and was very confused for a second!

And this is Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence, which, in my opinion, is easily the greatest Scottish poem ever written about Batman...

Batman’s aff his nut
Have you seen the way he cuts aboot
Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat
Batterin guys
I was lit at:
“Mate, I’m worried aboot ye
I know your ma and da died
But everybody’s ma and da dies
And we’re no aw runnin aboot
Hookin muggers and
Kickin psychopaths in the baws.”
And that was when Batman went
“Aye, but do ye ever feel like it?
Do you ever look at the world and feel like it?
Like having a big mad base under your hoose?
Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor
that turns intae a tank?
And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night?
Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?”
And that’s when I was lit at:
“Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae.”
And that’s the Secret Origin of Robin
And everyone else.

Haha absolutely. It was when I saw units of 30 Zombies were 100 points. I decided that I needed some better units in there hah, hence the graveguard

Ian Mathewson @praetorian130.bsky.social · 26d

Yeah they are! They look so great, I've got a few more but I've ran out of bases for them, so I need to get an order in hah!

Had a bit of a break from painting today to build up the Wight Lord for my #VampireCounts. What an absolutely amazing kit this is! Absolutely oozes with character. Just need to make sure he ranks up with the rest of the Black Knights that I've not built yet

I've kinda been working on these in the background a bit, bit the latest Cult of Paint Mordecai Blaylock video goes to show great minds think alike! I've also been working through the Characters from the #BadabWar and made a start on the secessionist leaders!

Made some progress in the #GraveGuard tonight and got the second rank/ batch of 5 done! They look great ranked up and aren't actually too bad for it! Suppose I should go back to the #Zombies!

In my attempt to remain painting and sticking woth stuff I have made some progress on the batch of #Zombies I started for the #VampireCounts army I've started for #Theoldworld and I must say these sculpts are disgustingly brilliant! Proper gribbly!

Had a canny weekend by going up to @tabletopscot.bsky.social this Sunday and had a grand time seeing all the games and stuff on show! Even had a chance to speak to the lads @modiphius.bsky.social and talk about #falloutfactions which I've been looking at for a bit now. So got some power armour!
