I'm that 'How I Paint Things' guy! Wargamer of all stripes. I retweet myself for weird timezones.

Continuing a tradition since 2021, here's some of my favourites from the line-up for How I Paint Things this year.

If by bizarre chance at Christmas you're short on ways to spend the cash in your pockets, don't mind me rattling the tip jar: ko-fi.com/sonicsledgeh...

We know some of you may be concerned about Dipit, considering he's looked a little worse for wear these past few weeks while laying to rest the original Warpaints range.

Fear not, for we have an important message and update for you about our beloved blue miscreant of a mascot!

Painted this for my good friend Walt who asked if I would do this model to represent a D&D character. Ignore the blutacked hooves, I'm sending it unglued because it'll never get all the way to Aus in one piece. Also just realised I didn't do the horse's eyes 😆 #nerdlings

Man oh man. I am way behind on November. I'd hoped to have a video up and ready to go by now, but I've been wiped out for a few days with a cluster migraine. Today I've been recording but it's gonna be tomorrow this goes up... I hate feeling like I'm behind the stone on this stuff.

Unfortunately, this army's not gonna see much use here. Either one large or two small rifle platoons in Bolt Action with mortar and MMG, officers, a Hetzer, StuG, and Panther. Gauging interest here before eBay gets their hooks in - what *does* this kinda thing go for these days? 🤪

Finished off a Star Wars Visions inspired building base that had been sitting there for far too long.

Japanese building and sci-fi bits from the catalogue plus some scratchbuilt elements 😊

Do you think he even remotely grasps how this looks? You'd have to waterboard me to get to post something like this, good lord.
Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

It's not gonna win any awards, but for an hour or so of mucking about, that'll look fine on the table and sling some lead down range.

Being able to just tack on a unit or two occasionally to a 'finished' army is really nice!

I'm gonna try my hand at painting this Infinity thing. Yeah. That's out of my wheelhouse; that'll be fun.

Honestly at a bit of a loss, project-wise. I like having a goal in mind, but I'm coming up blank. There's no specific must-have WWII armies, skirmish forces, Warhammer boxes or anything that are really driving me and I'm a bit adrift!

Army shot of both my French and British forces for the FIW on the new sabots. Thought I calculated properly but still a few sabots short @sabotag3d.bsky.social #spreadthelard #nerdlings #wargaming

It’s Friday again, you know what that means.

This week the theme is…damp.

So let see creatures from the deep, warriors in swamps and what not.

As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it!

I love the QLT kit and desperately want to include one in a British army, but I can never imagine in what scenario I'd need one truck - a single target - carrying almost an entire platoon's worth of guys. 29 transport capacity is just goofy, I'm never putting that many dudes in an open-topped box!

It's only just now occurred to me that I can pay the command vehicle 'tax' on anything I want in the Bolt Action Armoured Platoon selector, so... realizing I can put the boss in a Sherman and bung something cheap on the table as well? I got printing last night!

This vending machine has the best tourist warning ever. Also love that there was a vending machine for this randomly on the street.

Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

Finally got the settings on the Halot-X1 dialed in. Don't mind the touched-up primer! I hadn't noticed a few support scars I'd missed during clean-up, but yeah... that is tasty. Looking forward to popping some paint on this Victoria Miniatures Van Diemen's World trooper!
