Trumpa Lumpas. As bad as it gets.
They are like regular Oompa Loompas so they should be mischievous but, essentially, good.
But then they go and die their hair like Trump and cosplay as Hitler Youth. Definitely bad!

#Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

(also I tip my hat at Alpha Legion. Well played sir!)
Trumpa Lumpas - Oompa Lumpas with hair died blonde and carrying an assortment of melee weapons Trumpa Lumpas Extreme - Oompa Lumpas with hair died blonde and carrying an assortment of melee weapons and also dressing as Hitler Youth... very bad!

Espern Locarno, Imperial Navigator... not quite sure what he is doing joining the fight, but at least he is dressed the part. Sort of...
Anyway, another character for Blackstone Fortress joins the crew.

Another model done for Blackstone Fortress. Only a couple more and that is the playable characters done. This one is Amallyn Shadowguide. She guides shadows. Apparently

Damp... Yep. Can do.

-Jörmungandr bursting from the deep (from Blood Rage)
-Ghost Diver from @crookeddice.bsky.social
-Nigel Farage in his true Fish Folk form. Also Crooked Dice
-Deep ones from @fenrisgames.com painted many moons ago for our Salute game, Cthulhudo

#Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday
Jörmungandr bursting from the deep. The world serpent of Norse mythology as depicted by CMoN Games' Blood Rage Deep Sea Diver with an inner glow in his helmet, and draped in seaweed. Very much in the style of the Scooby Doo cartoons of old A Fish Folk in top hat a tails. Half way between aristocracy and Fagin from Oliver Twist. Actually more like the latter. A perfect model to be a Union Flag waist coat sporting Nigel Farage! A bunch of fish people looking very much more like fish than people... is that makes sense

Pious Vorne joins the Blackstone Fortress crew. It was fun playing around with the fire, though in hind sight could probably have used more lighter mis tones. Still, happy with the result.

A few oldies from me. And a kitchen appliance.

-Sorscha from Warmachine wielding her pick axe of doom.
-Mjolnir the Ogre. the mini that kicked of Hasslefree Minis.
-A very old Chronopia hunter.
-A reporter dodging Boris Johnson in a fridge. Sure that counts, right?

#Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday
Sorscha Krakitoff (something a bit weird about that name) wielding a two handed pickaxe above her head. Mjonir the Ogre, wading through the snow ready to bash someone on the noggin! A very old Chronopia Hunter miniature, and an early attempt at a snow basing. A fridge. I am pretty sure that Boris Johnson is hiding in it to avoid any awkward questions.

Here's a shot of Taddeus in progress. Going to be a slow couple of weeks for painting so hoping to get to revisit him by the end of the month.

Taddeus the Pacifier - Not a great name for someone wielding a great big metal mace, but that's 40k priests for ya! Paint very much in progress

Oo... It's Friday and I am actually in the office! Exciting (I missed the last couple...)

So. Red... How about...

A Necromunda Ambot.
Mr red himself, Daredevil
PAT209 (Fujitsu Heavy Assault Post Bot)
The enigmatic Dungeon Master

Ambot from Games Workshop. Automated tunnelling bipedal robot of some size converted for fighting for the gangs of the underhive Marvel's Daredevil, standing over the rubble of his former office ED 209 robot mini from Crooked Dice repainted to be Royal Mail colours - it becomes PAT-209 the Fujitsu Heavy Assault Post Bot! The dungeon master from Dungeons and Dragons cartoon... from the 80's?

After two weeks away from the painting desk (feels like a LOT longer) I finally got this fella finished up. Dahyak Grekh, Kroot mercenary, from Blackstone Fortress.

A little less usual from me, but how about the central piece of the board I built for our game at Salute this year? (which will also be appearing at The Other Partizan on the 12th of October)

Complete with an undead Matt Damon

Hot enough?

Been working on the Kroot fella from Blackstone Fortress. Got a little way to go.

I got these two finished up at last

Raus and Rein from Blackstone Fortress.

More pics at www.instagram.com/badgerloving...
Raus from Blackstone Fortress. He's a Ratling, so basically a space Hobbit, carrying around a huge grappling hook and a potentially defunct Auspex monitor. And a sack of food for good measure! Rein, another of the Ratlings, is armed with the far more likely combo of sniper rifle and portable fridge. Because... what could possibly make more sense?

Quote with some femme fatale art.

(not quite sure if this one has quite the seductive part going on being based on Katherine Birbalsingh but you can't get much more fatale than a Medusa right?)
This is a model of a Medusa head on an old fashioned school mistress body converted to represent Katherine Birbalsingh, the most despised head teacher in the land, for our Salute participation game "Grotesque Gogglebox"

Well, if it magical shenanigans you're after...

Tim has to be in there. Greatest sorcerer ever - probbaly.
The Keeper from Red Box Games HelsVakt range.
A classic Bretonnian sorceress (old pic - sorry).
And Presto from the D&D cartoon thrown in for good measure :)

#Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday
This is "Bob the Sorcerer" from CMoN Games Zombicide: Black Plague. Very heavily influenced by Tim the Sorcerer from the Monty Python and the Holy Grail film. 1975... gosh that was a while ago. I still quote it now. I definitely should grow up at some stage. Says the man in his 50's still painting toy soldiers! The Keeper was one of the magic users from Red Box Games' HelsVakt range. A scantily clad (in most cases) tribe of Barbarian Northmen types with very little regard for personal safety, or anyone else's for that matter. This guy here get's away with being a magic user in my eyes on account of him having no visible weaponry and holding on to a rather mystical looking sphere. In my opinion, the classic Games Workshop Sorceress. This was a lovely mini when it was released (5th ed so 1996-1998?) and still stands up today. I might even repaint her again at some stage. This is a 3d printed mini of "Presto", the Magic User in the old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon series from many moons ago. He stared in part of our "Grotesque Gogglebox" game for BunnyBadgerGames at Salute last year

Wasn't around yesterday for reasons so jumping on this late.

How WTF do you want things?

Oh, Alice... you have opened up a whole world of wonderful silliness 😁
And it doesn't stop at Warhammer!
Here's some minis I have painted fairly recently.
Palanite Subjugator Enforcer set to take a charge. Ambot with a colourful Bunny Ganger glow up, complete with his little cute actual bunny companion Delta Squad from Star Wars Republic Commando pc game from back in the day Raggedy, leader of the vicious Bunny Gang nomad tribe

I finally got myself a copy of Blackstone Fortress and the first model to get coloured in is this chap. I was going to do the hero characters first, but he made me paint him.

Chaos Space Marine striding forwards through arid grasslands and looking not too happy. Because he's Chaos... probably. They tend not to be. I blame the diet. Anyway, he's marching along with a big old hammer with glowy runes on it and is looking for trouble. Chaos Space Marine striding forwards through arid grasslands and looking not too happy.
