Another Blood Bowl player done. Er, rather, ready for the shade dunk.

Not exactly going for the wildest of paint jobs here and might add more details still, but I took advantage of the last good warm weather day for a while and got my whole retro Tomb Kings Blood Bowl team primed and started. And away we go! #oldhammer #BloodBowl #Warhammer #WHF

No worries, feel free to DM me or use the contact form on the website, if there's a pair you're interested in that already sold, she's more than willing to make something "close to exact" as well!

I'm so glad you asked!! Yes, she does sell online! www.beadsbysmall.com

My wife is Navajo and does traditional beadwork as her hobby and business. She encouraged me (and said it was okay, haha) to use native fire colors in my tomb kings army. This is the first time I've painted it on and my god this is going to be beautiful. #Miniatures #Warhammer #WHtOW #Painting

Making progress on the third member of the Redemptionists gang. Getting faster at this scheme, but the day job takes a toll on the time. #Necromunda #Retro #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Tabletop #Miniatures #Painting

Another retro Necromunda Redemptionist done, this time the Zealot. Two down, seven to go. They're ending up very grungy and grimy and I love it. Freehand skills improving slightly, but it'll still look good on a table. #Necromunda #Oldhammer #Warhammer #Tabletop #Miniatures #Painting

Was mulling over how to build a small boat sized for 1-2 models. I'm not the best sculptor and while practice would be good, just not my forte right now. Then I realized.

I was a carpenter.
I can do this the real way.

Suffice to say, after some seriously good rolls against the Bloodrage Vampires, we're making this a little more interesting.... #ForbiddenPsalm #TTRPG #Tabletop #Miniatures

Making progress on the Necromunda retro Redemptionists. Loving them so far. Question though, anyone have a paint similar to Barbarian Flesh that's easier to work with? This stuff is the bane of my existence. #Warhammer #Tabletop #Miniatures #Painting #Necromunda

Well, ya know, you live and you learn. I went back and forth for about an hour on whether to shade this guy and went for it, and while it didn't ruin the model, I feel it took away a ton amount of the retro feel. On to the rest, I won't wash them, but I'll redo this guy at some point. #Necromunda

I am by no means a professional painter, but I'm very, very proud of how the first Redemptionist is turning out 👍 I have never free-handed in my LIFE so the fact that the flames almost look like flames is incredible to me. Still more to do. #Oldhammer #Necromunda #Warhammer #Miniatures

So uh, update on the false wizard. We've previously used a homebrew "psychosis" table, so after 3 successful mind controls on an enemy, you roll to see what happens when their mind breaks.

The fearsome false wizard did not put up much of a fight. He keeled over. #ForbiddenPsalm #TTRPG #MorkBorg

This whole endeavor started because my wife brought me home a used copy of the book just because she saw "Warhammer" on it and thought of me. A year and a half of a hobby spiral later and now I can host a full game of it. Such a cool set. Big, silly spells for big, silly games.

I'll likely pick up the dice at some point, but it looks like now I have a full Storm of Magic set for 8th Edition Warhammer Fantasy. 👍 Mini hobby/collection goal complete. Got some painting to do now. 🖌️ #Warhammer #WarhammerFantasy #TombKings #Miniatures #Wargaming #Oldhammer

A massive thank you to @oldhammered.bsky.social for such an amazing set to add to my collection. Arrived new in box and still sealed in fantastic condition. This is my favorite retro piece in my collection now. Models are meant to be painted and played, so let's get started. 👍 #necromunda #oldhammer

Finally tracked down some of my white whales of wargaming 🥲 two of the four Arcane Fulcrums are now built. Two more arriving soon. the delve into Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition continues, and I could not be happier. #Warhammer #WarhammerFantasy #TheOldWorld #StormofMagic #Oldhammer #Terrain

this is even coming from someone who has an undying love for actual outer space. I devoted years of my life to studying it. But why would MTG choose to just do exactly that for a set that has arguably been hinted at and hyped for more than a decade?

Wes (Scrumpy) @thescrumperor.bsky.social · Jul 8

Not gonna lie, after nearly 20 years with MTG, learning that The Blind Eternities is just space is a pretty huge letdown. It could have been such a weird, ethereal, magical, non-euclidean space between universes, but instead we got spaceships, space stations, and planets. #MTG

One last hobby session before some vacation tomorrow.... The Bonefields Bone Giant might be my favorite model ever. Simple but with so much character. And huge! #Miniatures #Hobby #Skirmish #Tabletop
