Slightly embarrassingly my necrom hierotek circle were the only bit of hobbying I actually finished in 2025, but I reckon they look alright.

Plenty of stuff in WIP though I'm hoping to finish (lol) soon 😁

What's been something you've finished this year?

Tonight's painting efforts, foetid bloat drone #WIP results. Quite happy with the wings and the rust!

Hobby stuff has taken a lil dip this week as I've become slightly addicted to battlefield 6... Plenty of time off over Christmas though, so hoping to get back into the groove. Got a bunch of Death Guard I want to paint up and I want to see about finally finishing my bren carrier 😅

My best mate's Christmas present has arrived and goddamn it's so good I want a copy!

In the process of trying to 'fix' lord Felthius. Think he already looks a damn sight better without his stupid grinning head! Don't really like his left arm but kinda have no idea what to do for it. Either way he's gonna make up my 5th deathshroud

Finally got some decent pics of my #spacewolves40k and I’m pretty happy with how they’ve turned out. Lovely to paint, even if they did get beaten in their first #warhammer40k game.

Kill team game tonight with my imperial navy breachers. Sadly a loss against the Corsair voidscared but great fun though!

Love these models but my god I do not have the mojo to paint them!

Debating getting a tainted cohort for essentially what can be ran as an additional deathshroud, a lord of virulence and a couple of extra blightlords (with some spares from the bits box)

Hmmm 🤔

Thoughts?

Anyone else have battlefield 6 on pc and no challenge tracking? Pretty shameful performance from EA games that they've not fixed this.

Anyone remember when developers used to care about the games they made?

Love random computer issues which are completely unfixable. Ugh. Hoping that a new boot hard drive will fix it. Grumble grumble

Some recents from my desk. We are more or less exclusively about the mean nasties around here. The bad, the mean, the worst. I know what I'm about

Oooh, love the old dude Andy! 😍

Here´s are a few more than shady ones that serve in that "special squad" Commissar Kessler recruited from prisons and looney bins.
The other soldiers of the #4thMemnonRegiment are sneering about them but always keep one eye open.
