Old to games but new to social media.
No painting right now due to actual work, so I figured I'd get some of my old Badab work organized - first up are the Astral Claws. They were the first Badab chapter I worked on, to oppose friends' Red Scorpions and Carcharadons.

First High Elf I've painted in some time - a Sea Guard Commander that I kitbashed (the head is from the Prince set, the spear is a mix of a standard and an Archer sword, and the quiver is also from the Achers). He's still on an old (8th Edition) base, like all my stuff.

More Lamenters for a snowy day - this time five more Tacticals to complete my squad. These ones are slightly more modern (for Firstborn) but they fit in fine. I even tried adding a few Maelstrom Warden sigil.

First painted miniatures of 2026 - the rest of the Lamenters Terminator Squad. It's nice to be back to painting checkerboard patterns, although my yellows are running low...

I still have plenty of Kingdom Death models waiting, but that's never stopped me from building more. This time it's a Black Friday purchase - The Lonely Tree! It's a cool model but I recommend a build guide. I also adjusted some limbs with green stuff to change how the fruit hangs.

Back to Kingdom Death - this time with some aspirational Survivors (a True Blade with the Black Sword and a Lantern Armor Tank) and another Nemesis - The Hand. Still sticking with the minimal colors, which I am really liking.

I needed some color after my Kingdom Death miniatures so I decided on some Badab War reinforcements - this time a Lamenters Terminator Sergeant. I love the Chapter but those shoulder pads are a hassle...

Another week's work of Kingdom Death - some more early game Survivors, a King's Man, and the Watcher. All in all fun times, although the assembly of the Watcher was a but fiddly... Next up I need some armored Survivors, and maybe The Hand.

Back to painting with some Kingdom Death - some Survivors and their nemesis, The Butcher. I'm really enjoying the limited color scheme (and it's fairly quick too).

Still using the new table to play more games. It's too small for Kingdom Death, but it's perfect for Rise of the Orks. Like several of the Space Marine games I made my own versions of the Marines, as I thought they made more sense Deathwatch...

Still working out which games fit the new table. It's a little small for Space Hulk but was perfect for some Badab War-themed Betrayal at Calth with the Salamanders facing down the traitorous Astral Claws.

Been too busy with work to do much painting of late, but I am getting the gaming room organized at least. My current project is sorting out my long-buried Middle Earth CCG cards...

Finally got the painting setup up at the new place. First miniatures are some more Badab War Space Marines- some Novamarines!

The latest reinforcements for the Lamenters is finished - a Furioso Dreadnought. I have entirely too many Dreadnoughts, and have tried to paint one for most of the Badab War Chapters that I've painted.

Back from a lovely Florida visit to visit my wife's friends. Among many fun places, I highly recommend the Morikami Museum and Gardens. Truly lovely.

Had a great game day last night. Played some classic L5R, Tyranid Attack, Firefly and Senjutsu.

Finished the last of my Esthers from Necromunda: Underworld. Took longer than expected, due to the flu.

2025 is already shaping up to be a year that's going to require a lot of miniatures for me to get through.
