Novocastrian, Bit of a nerd, painter of Warhammer (30k, the Old World, 40k, AoS, probably more) and I might even play games!
Glad to escape the hellscape of the "other place"

One of the things I was pleased with last year was a quick little tutorial for doing nice and easy bases! I'm going to try and keep doing them I think just to keep in the habit!

I've gone and done a bit of hobby tonight! Painted up the mysterious Cypher. I got inspired by those Red Corsair models previewed the other week and figured they'd be some really nice #Fallen. But wanted to get the colours down first. #warhammercommunity #40k #darkangels #paintingwarhammer

Absolutely amazing YouTube channel. He's built a 3D version of the Zombicide tiles as well as buildings and tables for Bolt Action. Well worth checking out

I've made a bit more progress on my #Badab project last night, and this time it's Commander Culln! I followed a Cult of Paint guide and it's turned out nicely. Still a bit more to do but looking good!

Had a bit of a break from painting today to build up the Wight Lord for my #VampireCounts. What an absolutely amazing kit this is! Absolutely oozes with character. Just need to make sure he ranks up with the rest of the Black Knights that I've not built yet

I've kinda been working on these in the background a bit, bit the latest Cult of Paint Mordecai Blaylock video goes to show great minds think alike! I've also been working through the Characters from the #BadabWar and made a start on the secessionist leaders!
