Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · Aug 29

Welcome to Pride On Parade! This is a solidarity & fundraising project in support of young transgender people, initially in the UK because that's where I live :)

If you'd like to get involved in any way, or if you'd just like to show off your Pride-themed minis, that'd be awesome!

Outline here:

Admittedly I do get a bit weird about technical aspects of painting but I think it's looking good already :p

Void Nymphs Chapter tester lieutenant, continued. Ok trying to lighten the previous colours. Still kinda in the ugly zone atm but I'll get more layers in soon. I think she'll look good in the end. @prideonparade.bsky.social #pridehammer #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #prideonparade #lgbt

By the way, @prideonparade.bsky.social did you want to add a femme space marine with some bi pride flag colours to the mix?

I know what it's like to have a scattered focus (neurodivergence est) but that does look very solid. I know it's super early in the process but those are some super nice fundamentals for a base coat, really nice coverage without sacrificing detail & clean lines :)

Did a little more on my Void Nymphs Chapter tester model, tidying the previous colours. Then added browns, blacks & metallics. Gone for green for energy & purity seals. Painting focus is all over the place 😭 @prideonparade.bsky.social #pridehammer #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #prideonparade #lgbt

I thought that might be the case. It does seem odd that it's such a completely different sculpt to any other early GW horses that I'm aware of though; I have a bunch of WHFB horses of various kinds and none are similar.

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 9d

Well I can't tell you what A Horse's deadname was, but that's the title of its entry in our miniatures list (no.19, link below) :P

All of the minis in this list are available for the cost of postage & a donation of your choosing to Mermaids. We'd love to see them painted up in Pride colours :)

If you'd like the opportunity to paint A Horse, or if you think you might be able to give it a rider, please message me or reply here. I'd love to hear from you!

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 10d

Another mini on our list, not sure where it's from, it's A Horse.

That's it. Riderless horse from my friend's collection.

I honestly have no idea what kit this is from. None of the Warhammer Fantasy riders I have fit.

Any ideas?

Wargaming miniature of a horse, lying on its side on a white sheet of paper. The tail has come off but is present, and it has no rider.

Gotta say I am absolutely 100% here for this :)

So GW have released a big head add on pack & some of the heads can be interpreted as a bit fem.
Yay for those of us who are forever chasing such heads.
But seriously it once again shows how when stripped of artificial markers like make up, human heads are not that disparate & have a lot of overlap.

Olli-Wer-Wolf 🐺 @owolf.bsky.social · 13d

These would work too if you ask me.

Oh wow! Do you know, I think I know where I got it now? I'm about 90% sure I mail ordered specifically the metal sprue with the power sword arm and helmet on it, way back when you could actually do that!

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 12d

(I say "only," but looking at how long that's been now... yikes lol)

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 12d

Thanks! I appreciate the knowledge :) I did know some of that but my memory gets fuzzy- I only started collecting seriously in 2001, before that I'd been a filthy casual on the fringes of the hobby :)

Haha I think that space is still taken up by the entire 3E rulebook for me (though I should say 3.5E really, the "Trial Assault Rules" that got universally adopted in '02 were just plain better).

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 12d

Haha I know the BA part was from 3E, it's been in my bits box since about 2002. Absolutely zero recollection where I got it from though. The DA shoulders are 3E too I think? I bought a couple of Dark Angels to convert as Templars because of the robes.

As with any of our other minis, if you'd like to paint a piece of 40K history, get in touch! I've checked that my DMs are actually open (old git that I am I couldn't find the option before) so you can message me, tag us, use #PrideOnParade or reply to any of the posts on this account :)

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 12d

I know you could find a plastic melta gun or plasma pistol at the time but I don't think there was a plastic plasma gun- I still have a metal plasma gunner with a metal plasma gun and 3E arms and backpack that I got in about 2002 in my army.

@ravenqueenhrefna.bsky.social is painting a couple of these already- I'd originally thought these were 2E or 3E but looking into it they might actually be an RT-era sculpt. They were still being sold in 3E in blisters as special weapon Marines though, as the Tactical box only had a flamer (+melta?).

Pride On Parade @prideonparade.bsky.social · 12d

Another option in our library if you want to paint something old is this pair of metal Tactical Marines that I believe were originally released in either RT or 2E 40K- do any of you know which?

These can be supplied with RT Phobos or 3E Godwyn-pattern Bolters and I have a range of accessories too!

Photo of a pair of metal Firstborn Space Marine miniatures for Warhammer 40,000. The minis are unpainted, and shown alongside a pair of arms, a pair of shoulder pauldrons, a Goswyn-pattern Bolter and a power armour backpack each. The accessories in this photo are from 3rd Edition 40K.

A set of accessories for Firstborn Space Marines; shown are a pair of Dark Angels shoulder pauldrons, a Blood Angels head and three power armour backpacks of various types; L to R we have- I think- a Rogue Trader era plastic backpack with banner pole, an RT backpack with no banner pole and a 3E Space Marine backpack.

Thanks! That was very much on my mind while I was working on them to be honest, it's nice to hear it comes across :)

Oooh, big stompy ones! Love these :)

Don't sell yourself short, you & I were probably both doing this before their parents met.

Trans pride vintage beaky space marine in video format !

More or less soon, i'll share how you will get the opportunity to win that mini through a raffle, and help with @deeboom.bsky.social fundraiser in the process.

Stay tuned and all that.
