Had a lot of fun at my first Warhammer Tournament yesterday (Batalha Corvos in Lisbon) and very proud that my army won the "best painted" prize!

Having lost most of my childhood miniatures, I'm proud that I can finally field a 1,500pts painted army again. Dwarfen Mountain Holds for Warhammer: The Old World, ready for battle!

No tutorial for this one, but here's the last model for my 1,500pts Dwarfen Mountain Holds army. These are more fun to play with on the tabletop than to paint! #warhammer #theoldworld #dwarfs

High Elf from my teenage years vs now. Pretty consistent in style, but I guess I didn't really improve in the last 25 years...

I tried to re-create a classic 'Eavy Metal style High Elf from the old painting guides. I made some notes along the way and wrote a new tutorial for www.harmsworkshop.com if you're interested!

I made a YouTube video on the evolution of my goblins. I went from using metallics and saturated red hoods to NMM and square bases. I also show the paints I use. Link in bio.

I made a big mistake and forgot to paint up the banner for Kragg the Grim. Before ending up in the Book of Grudges, I decided to correct it and also create a new tutorial for doing paper banners, here: harmsworkshop.com/tutorials/ba.... Hope it's useful for anyone!

What better way to present nostalgic written Warhammer tutorials than in an old familiar style? I've been working on some style changes over at harmsworkshop.com, mostly noticeable on desktop browsers. Love to hear your feedback!

My 3-year old son just found my box of old 90s Warhammer minis and is fighting with classic Squig sculpts and shooting with an old metal Rock Lobba and I'm internally torn between intervening and encouraging this...

Seeing a post by @angelinetrevena.bsky.social I was reminded of the Fantasy Map Making hobby that I've also tried to pick up. Since I had no inspiration on what to draw, I decided to log our recent family trip to the Açores... (there weren't any actual see monsters, so I can warmly recommend going!)

Thanks to everyone for sharing this and showing your appreciation! I got almost a month's worth of visitors in one day on my little hobby blog. I'm just doing these things for the fun of it, but such a response does make it feel even better!
I started a new series of articles on www.harmsworkshop.com on re-creating classic Warhammer Fantasy gaming boards like this. Chapter 1 and 2 are up now!
