Doing a pub quiz today, our team name is "Pilsbierritter", German for "Knights of the Pilsner Beer". Tried to do some moral improving finger decoration before work, even thou I'm at freehands what Germans call grottig. And I f'd up the 3D effect of the question mark.
#nerdlings #pubquiz
Close up of my fingernails, index, middle and ring finger. There are pictures painted on black background, really scraggly: a hops thingy, a beer mug and a red question mark. My nail beds are postapocalyptic wastelands.

I'm on a terrain hype after my hut. Now I want to do a canon encampment. BUT! I want to design it, so that enemies can still heroically (or murderously) scale the walls and battle the defenders... hopefully not Tau.
#mordheim #nerdlings #warhammercommunity
Total photo of a heavy WiP terrain project. It's mostly yellow foam underground, with two wooden cover walls. Inbetween them is a spare room which houses an Empire grand canon. An engineer stands behind cover. Before one of tje walls is a black mound of 'dirt', covered in texture paste. Behind the cover 'walls'. There are wheel tracks for the canon planned, with little stepups for people taking cover behind the walls. Closeup. The engineer is behind the wall, but from the sideview ot is shown that the mound of dirt is shaped so that a model can stand in front of the wall as if it is scaling it. At the moment, there is a Tau. Talking about anachronism, eh?

Good thing that Germany had such a convulated history. That way I can use the first book of "German History" to weigh down the glueing of my newest terrain project.
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity #history
A pic from my hobby crafting table. In the background is my wood clue and painting rack. In the foreground you can see a heavy book, resting on some plastic materials that need to be weighed down while they are glued together. The book is "Deutsche Geschichte", German History, book 1.

Pics!
The back of the hut. It's wood is covered in green and yellow moss. An opeing in the upper part of the back has a bar for birds to sit upon and to allow for air ventilation or something like that. The front. A dark doorway shows noting of the inside. More moss on the wall. A Talabecland shield is perched upon the doorframe, showing that the owner once was a proud member of the state troops. The roof lifted. The inside is made of darkened wood, in a shallow barrow in the earth. Could be homey, but it's empty and abandoned. General view of the hut. It's roof is grass covered, it's entrance slightly burrowed into the ground.

Finally finished my abandoned hut in the woods. Maybe I will add some furniture later. But it's ready for #Mordheim games and even has a detachable roof! Detail pics in the first reply.

The water droplet in my work meeting decided to be an ork emblem.
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity
The splash of a water drop. With a spiky corona, the water is in the form of a ork skull, with a broad, laughing jaw. It even has eyes! Water is weird.

I'm starting to do some weird experiments with contrast paints and was looking for a place to mix and water down and... now I have the skull. I've never seen anyone else using this thing. But now I feel like another splinter of my soul is owned by GW.
#nerdlings #warhammerCommunity
The servo-skull shaped mixing palette from Games Workshop - unused and pristine, still.

"Quality from Nuln!"
My hobby board is resembling some foundry in the free imperial city right now. And suddenly I have the urge to play Warhammer: Mark of Chaos again. The German voices for this game were absolute peak German-Warhammer-stuff... atleast in my memory.
#nerdlings #warhammerCommunity
Picture of some assembled, but unpainted miniatures: three canon crew members in various poses, a canon on a base, and one unbased. In the back, the outer hull of a steam tank.

There were some track works today near my home in @frankfurt.de and the city workers had a truck with this artwork on. My exact train of thought was "Ha, what a nice ideoh no, this is AI slop."

Horrible. In a city full of creatives!
Picture of an orange truck on its side, a group of dwarven engineers work on some train tracks. Looking closer, some heavy indications of AI are obvious: muddy details, crooked tools, piercings on nonsensical places, the tracks are not fitting in perspective, missing fingers, and more.

I got an old paint rack from my cousin who updated. It's still not enough for all, but atleast I'm past the times I had to store my paints in an old IKEA box. : ) Was never able to find what I looked for.
#warhammerCommunity #nerdlings
Photo of my paint rack. It's made of plywood and now completely full with Citadel paints. Various bits and miniatures are strewn before it, because I'm a messy bitch when it comes to my hobby space.

I only wanted to pick up a paint from the store over the weekend, but suddenly I heard the voice of Magnus the Pious in my head. And as he whispered "Faith, steel, and gunpowder", I already carried the box to the cash register.

Brother asked if I could master a #PnP for him and friends who never played one. They don't know much about Warhammer, but I argue: not knowing much about #Warhammer is good, because your char probably also does not know about the world! Prepping an adventure now...

Not strong in terrain building, but I want to try more of it. Comes along nice.
A small hut in the ground, with a stone cliff on one side!
Now just to add walls, paint, do the roof, and pour static grass over it. Ideally the roof will be removable for Mordheim games. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity
A terrain base, roughly 15x15cm. It's a depression in the ground, clad with tiny wooden planks. Around it, earthy ground is structured with a terrain paste. One side has a small stoney cliff. Everything is still unpainted. A removable, very early WiP hut roof is seen in one of the picture parts. It's the perfect size for a small Talabecland state trooper to stand in!

I'm jumping between projects and timelines.
Working on a hut as #TheOldWorld terrain. This is the WiP underlaying construct. Thought about doing a roof of overlapping wooden planks, but now I'm also thinking about doing Stirland Mud and then gras as roof. DECISIONS!
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity
A rough roof understructure, very fragile. A lone state trooper from Warhammer The Old World (proud Talabecland!) stands in it for size comparison The same structure, but given, well, more structure by adding wooden sheets to it all. We can't see the state trooper anymore. :<

"Never talk to me or my son ever again"
The updated terminators are such chunky lads and lasses! I was skeptical, but I'm warming up to the idea of b i g g e r terminators!
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity
Two miniatures next to each other: an old terminator, partly painted. Next to it, a new terminator, bigger, broader, aaand on a wrong base.

Deathwing was my first army and till today I have so many half painted termis in a thousand different styles.
Newest, simple try on the helmet:
-Zandri Dust
-Agrax ES
-Ushabti Bone drybrushen
-Details

Question for my fellow Unforgiven: how do you paint Deathwing?
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity
Four pictures, close up of a space marine terminator helmet. The first is mono Zandri Dust, the second is washed in recesses with Agrax. The third got a drybrushing with Ushabti Bone. The last has the eye lenses painted.

Update: I thing it worked. Quite happy with the progress. Some more DAngel bits, then some greenstuff work, and then Belial will be ready to stand atop a big ass tyranid carcass.
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity
A headless terminator. He is originally the captain of the Leviathan box, but his sword has been turned upside down and his armor top is adorned with a Dark Angel icon.

Working on transforming the Leviathan terminator captain into Belial for my DAngels.
Thinking about switching the hilt and blade with each other to create an arm option, where the blade point rests on the ground, similar to Asmodai... but I fear to ruin the blade. D:
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity
The sword arm of the termi captain from the Leviathan box. The lettering has been filled up with green stuff, to create a (hopefully) smooth blade.

"... for there is no greater terror hunting the stygian void than the Lion of Caliban."
One year after finishing the Knight of Nihilus, I finally finished his base.
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k
Photo of Lion El'Jonson, with a red-winged helmet and a soap-coloured sword.. He is flanked by two Watchers in the Dark in beige robes. He is striding over a broken statue of stone, its rim and halo bronzen. Side view. One of the Watchers holds the sword scabbard in green and bronze. Other side. The other Watcher holds a ceremonial scepter, crowned with a winged angel, holding a red sword. A black and a green cloth piece showing the old and the mew colours of his legion. Back view. His billowing green cape! His white-winged exhausts! The little yellow tiles, broken by war, that he strides over. :3

Festival was awesome. Took a heavy flu as a souvenir. But while I silently working on my backlog with a fever, here is my old banner bearer. Love for tall banners.
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k
Photo of a Dark Angel space marine. He is looking afar, with a bolt pistol in his right hand. His other hand, clad in a power fist, holds a ridiculous tall banner, crowned with a sceleton in a robe that in turn holds the banner of the third company. Close up of the space marine. He is an elderly lad, with grey hair. He is heavily ornated, with trinkets, a power sword at hip, a lot of bronze all over. Close up of the banner. The base of it is the robed sceleton banner thingy from Warhammer Fantasy Battle (I think state trooper had them?). Instead of the hammer the sceleton originally held, it is now holding a more regular banner, crowned with a bronze Dark Angel idol. The banner is green, with a diagonal red stripe, standing for the 3rd company.

Harken my words, #nerdlings! Normally I post Warhammer stuff, but I'm on a festival of my fav band: In Extremo!
So, if you like my minis, listen to an InEx song today! My recs: Küss mich (Kiss me), Sängerkrieg (Singer War) or Neues Glück (New luck).
A photo of me on a festival. Stage in background. I look good, as good as I can look! Many better looking people around me.

Didn't work on my Dunecrawler. Felt bad. Dug out a -very- old Chaplain and gave him a heavy update regarding shadows, highlights, and a finished base. Every mini counts.
#nerdlings #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k
Close up photo of a chaplain miniatire. Its a first born space marine, marked by his pauldron and his knee cap as a member of the 3rd company Dark Angels. He has a grim, bone-coloured skull face mask and the typical black armor. A golden mace in his hand, he also wields a bright red bolt pistol so he doesn't get lost on the battlefield. He wears a lot of gold and bronze accessoires, and also a heavy, written-on scroll between his legs. A side pov of the same chaplain. His bolt pistol is more prominwnt, as is his Dark Angel pauldron, rimmed in bronze, and a frag grenade on his belt. The exhaust of his back pack is a golden skull. Back voew of him. His black armor is highlighted with a subtle grey tone. On hia back pack, a symbolic, small sword is attached, with a green guard. He stands on the same almost-black, amethyst coloured rock as the rest of my Dark Angels, as they defend the amethyst wastes of a wind blasted archive world.

While working on finishing older projects, I've stumbled on yet another project-in-waiting: Dark Angel Auxiliary! Born on feudal recruitment worlds, these are siblings of people who are taken on as Space Marines. #headcanon
One day I will finish them... #nerdlings #warhammercommunity
A photo of some miniatues, unpainted, on undecorated bases. They are on a green cutting board with some white background. Close-ups in the other photos attached. Clpse-up of a radio operator. His body is from the City of Sogmar Steelhelms, as is his little banner-thingy. But on his back is a radio strapped (I think from the Tempestus Scions) and he shouts into a radio receiver. Close-up of a brave soldier. She is holding a wooden shield and a primitive axe, while a las rifle is strapped to her back. Either the enemy is coming close or she is more confident with a weapon she understands in her hand - after all, she is from a feudal world where laser weapons are more lile magic. The two heavy weapn guys Again, their bodies are from Citoes of Sigmar, as are their helmets. But they are carrying a plasma gun amd a laser carabine to battle. They bring the thunder wherever their Dark Angel lords need it.

In my head, I'd finished my Dunecrawler. But... no? Seems like I just stopped at one point, before shadows, highlights, and details. So that's now my week projects. He is btw lumbering on the rocky beaches of my factory world, hunting amphibian tyranids.
#warhammerCommunity #nerdlings #warhammer40k
A photo of a semi finished AdMech Dunecrawler. It's hull is primarily blue, the metal parts are a copper/bronze tone. It's hatch is open, a gapimg dark inside. It walks over water-spoiled rocks with little channels between them, algae growing where water meets rock. The same Dunecrawler, other angle. One of its legs is in abright red, showcasing the allegiance of the factory world to the Priesthood of Mars.
