An Infernus Marine fell foul of the Parasite of Mortrex in last night's game of 40k
The Black Templars did otherwise kick my Tyranid ass, but it was cool spawning 3(!!) swarms of Rippers

I finished my Hive Tyrant and Screamer-Killer in my Aliens ™️ scheme, just in time for a game on Thursday. I haven't used either yet, so I'm excited to see how they get on!

I built a board in a photo frame for #Greathelm using some 3d printed cobbles. I wanted this to be flatter than my last board for placing bigger terrain like ruins or buildings, but to also look cool without terrain. I'm pretty happy with it #nerdlings

Played my first (solo) tryout game of #greathelm and I was a big fan. I can see it being carnage with 6 knights per side (and an opponent!)
It was fairly evenly matched until it was down to two knights, then one failed a Courage test due to the gore generated by the guy that HE gruesomely slayed!

More #Greathelm business... I made my own map based on the paper one by @relicsean.bsky.social
I'm now covered in - and have almost run out of - static grass 🗡️
Very excited to get a game in soon though, so it'll all be worth it!

I've kickstartered Great Helm, the new one-box skirmish game by @malev-da-shinobi.bsky.social and so this week I've been painting up some Victrix knights and I'm ready for a playtest game!

Finished up some Zoanthropes for my xenomorph-inspired Tyranids. Black with a drybrushing of Death Korps Drab+White, carapace finely edge highlighted with Thunderhawk Blue. Brain bits are Moot Green+Thunderhawk, highlighted with Moot then a bit of white mixed in (for those interested 🤣)

I made some ghost Vikings / Normans / Saxons who are mainly Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Irish with added WGA zombie heads. I loosely followed a @gardensofhecate.bsky.social tutorial to paint em and as you can see, they came out exceedingly well

I converted up a Flesh Tearers Terminator Captain. Mainly he's the Leviathan guy but with a Blood Angels chest, an old Sanguinary Guard relic fist and a Death Company head

Imagine if in Terminator Kyle Reese had said, "Skynet started calling itself Mecha-hitler." You'd think that was the most stupid thing you'd ever heard.
This is our world. We're living in a broad satire.
Anyway, I've redrawn an old 2000ad cover.

Moody Raveners pic! I built these guys to join my new 40k Tyranids army rather than as a Kill Team.
Aliens (and ant) inspired all-black scheme, using a highlight colour I mixed myself and have now run out of 🙃
Was it Waagh Flesh and Dawnstone?

I decided I wanted a Gabriel Seth so I made one! He's mainly an Assault Intercessor with a Heresy Heavy Chain sword and some Blood Angel Captain bits and a Death Co head. Might run him occasionally as a Death Company Captain too

I made a Gundam Zaku head into a bit of terrain. Great news for sci-fi scavengers who want to hide behind a huge robot head

I went to the Moyse's Hall Museum today and this is my favourite ridiculous helmet ever.

Me and a couple of chums played our first game of #SpaceGits by @planetsmashergames.bsky.social last night. It was *a lot* of fun! We decided a paper mat would add to the chaos, and it led to lots of crease-based comedy (mainly crease=buttcrack jokes). Also, I lost

Finished Friday! I finished my first unit of Dark Age Welsh for Lion Rampant. 12x Warriors including some Welsh hounds, because why not?!
