The Old Hammer Flyer! December 2025! A special, double page, 2025 edit. I was looking forward to creating a full RT themed flyer, and now that I've made over 20 Space Dwarfs, the close of 2025 seemed like a good time to do it. 😁 satyrartstudio.com

Here's a quick look at how the sci-fi hab-units are shaping up.

In the first video/pdf I'll be showing how to make the buildings themselves (in various sizes), and in the second one I'll be adding more details/greebles.

Hopefully it will be worth the wait :)

There are many reasons not to venture into the gloomy lands of Tír na Marbh. Some are subtle. Others are too big to be ignored.

The first minis I painted in about '85.
Made of lead and painted mostly with testor paints and a terrible brush. They still get used.

Afternoon everyone 🙂 I've added a new ruined tower to the fantasy buildings catalogue.

Perfect for scenario plot points or objectives. Comes with a separate top floor, wooden flooring and three rubble piles.

The ruined tower in scenic setting. Evergreen trees in the background with a small clan of Skaven in the foreground trying to oust an elven wizard from the tower (which is in the mid ground). The tower with a white background. It’s painted in a warm grey for the brick and a warm tan for the interior with a checkerboard pattern on the floor with subtle weathering. The rubble piles can be seen either side and on the tower floor. A Skaven warlock on the right is pointing at the elvish wizard on the left as if to say ‘If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, this tower is ours!’. The Skaven on the top floor is brandishing his blunderbuss as if in agreement (although he could just be generally excitable). The parts of the tower on a white background. From left to right; The upper floor, a rubble pile, another rubble pile, the tower main body, yet another rubble pile and the timber upper floor plate. The elvish wizard is standing amongst the parts wondering what the hell happened.

Hope you're all recovered from the recent festivities 😁

To kick the New Year off there are two new medieval timber framed builds in the catalogue (and yes, the market cross will be following very soon).

www.oshiromodels.co.uk/medievalbuil...

#oshiromodels
#wargaming
#nerdlings
ME12 Shop 2 looking from the front right quarter showing the building stacked together and the shop shutter in the open position. The roof has various shades of painted tiles to represent clay tiling and the walls are typically timber framed with light tan panels. Two knights are prowling around for the shop keeper as they want a haunch of mutton. ME13 is a ‘range’ building that usually would’ve extended out the back of the normal buildings/houses/shops. Same paint style as ME12. Mr Knight is still searching for some mutton. The parts of ME12 spread out. Consisting of (from front centre going clockwise) attic space, shop hatch and supports, a puzzled Mr Knight, first floor, roof and ground floor. The roof has come off ME13 as well and Mr Knoght just can’t fathom what’s going on. Shame really.

Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.

As Herne would say:

"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten."

michael praed, all long black hair and smoochy sultry looks, as Robin. He is holding a sword in a way that is absolutely not subtle, laydeez.

Wayhey! First figures done for the year (although, to be honest, they were started last year 😬)

Four Skaven plague monks. I’ve got another on order and when he’s done that’ll make a unit of 15.

Four Games Workshop Skaven plague monks stylised dressed in varying shades of manly green robes. Second from the left has a large gong (oo-er) to rally more supports of pestilence. 20mm round bases for the win.

Mini of the month - Not very Christmassy

Entry 13 by @cozmicaztaway.bsky.social

"Christmas Yochlol", model from Wizards of the Coast. The hat and ornament are hand sculpted.

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth
Yochlol, a "Handmaiden of Lolth" that resembles a slimy blob with tentacles, is wearing a Santa hat and holding a Christmas ornament in one tentacle, decorating a pinecone painted like a Christmas tree. She is standing in a snowy landscape and is light green in color, with one big yellow eye. Just the green, slimy blob on the background, holding her red ball Christmas tree ornament and wearing her red Santa hat with fluffy white details.

I’m still messing around with backdrops and scenery. It’s mostly the lighting that I’m having difficulty with. I need more light coming from weird angles and make the main light source a bit less harsh. Also focusing. Anyhow, this is my latest. All the lovely minis from @fenrisgames.com
Scene showing 2 very angry looking warriors charging at 3 others.They wear black armour and one has a wolf pelt banner. They’re posed on a small rocky green hillock with a backdrop of trees just visible through the mist.
