New year, new Hadrey! Figured it was time for a new iteration of my old halfling warlock PC and @jluna3d.bsky.social did an awesome job with the sculpt! I have some plans for a literal tableau so expect to see more of her. #minipainting #dnd #nerdlings #fantasy #halfling

Okay, fine, started on the Beastmen. Tried to vary the skin a bit with some wet contrast paint blending. I think the minty hexwraith overpowered the bottom row a bit much, may fix on a future pass. #wipwednesday #warhammer #nerdlings #warhammerquest #darkwater #minipainting

"There's nae rolls!" Highlander Mechanized Infantry from Westfalia/Trench Stench for @trenchcrusade.bsky.social If the Gates of Hell were opened by Crusaders, would the Scots ever get into tartan plaid? For the sake of my eyes I said no. #minipainting #trenchcrusade #grimdark

Oh, the stuff you paint when you are trying to avoid painting a bunch of Beastmen. #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer

Big Zaddy Energy. Maybe cliche, but I think Drasher Vorn is the most emotionally available of the #Darkwater heroes. Inara needs help braiding her hair? Vorn has hair ties. Edmark looking a bit rusty? Vorn got that polish. #warhammer #warhammerquest #warhammercommunity #minipainting #nerdlings

Foulhoof! Back on the #Darkwater grind. Just 2.5 heroes, 8 Beastmen, and the Cystwitch remaining! I think I might actually complete a New Years Resolution, y'all! #warhammer #warhammerquest #warhammercommunity #minipainting #nerdlings

Mira, Kitsune Sniper My monthly @gazminis.bsky.social paint. If she was inspired by a particular #anime and I got some colors wrong, I apologize to your people and meant no offense. The base is a stick-on topper from Rival Crafts in Cornwall. #minipainting #nerdlings #kitsune

#wipwednesday! Foulhoof from #darkwater coming together. I admit Beastmen are a meh #Warhammer faction for me so the thought of doing 9 fills me with a bit of dread. Skin is Ionic Zombie Skin up, ProAcryl Jade bottom, Plague Flesh Contrast to blend. Not a bad effect! #minipainting #nerdlings

Roslyn the Shambling Maid from Artisan Guild. Continuing with my experiments in stippling, this time using it for that cemeteryworn flesh that brings all the boys to the graveyard. Also skipped her cleaver as she already has a pair of weapons. #minipainting #zombies #nerdlings #warhammer #pinup

Taking a break from Darkwater for Goblin Time! Here's Raq from @twingoddessminis.bsky.social I tried out stippling for much of her. I think it came out pretty good and helps make a bit more organic skin tone. Very time consuming tho. #minipainting #goblin #nerdlings

Papa Smurf is FURIOUS! Drolf Ironhead from Darkwater. Trying to give each hero their own color palette and all the browns got dibbed by the werebear and centaur, so he could have been smurfy or Christmasy. #warhammer #warhammerquest #minipainting #warhammercommunity #darkwater #nerdlings

Here are the #darkwater mirelurks? kelpies? artax? Just have 3 heroes, 2 mini bosses, and 8 beast men to go! #warhammer #warhammercommunity #minipainting #nurgle #nerdlings

Feeling cute, might delete later. #darkwater #warhammer #warhammerquest #minipainting #nerdlings #cute

Post a Wizard? Inara Sion from #Darkwater #warhammer #warhammerquest #minipainting #nerdlings

Between the snow and the emo festival this week, not a lot of painting done. Did manage to carve out some time to steal @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social 's coaster base idea for photographing my #darkwater dudes. Just need to source a better backdrop! #warhammer #minipainting #warhammercommunity

EDMARK! (HOT GUITAR RIFF) EDMARK!! (HOTTER GUITAR RIFF, SOUND OF DOOR BEING KICKED DOWN) EDMARK!!! (HOTTEST GUITAR RIFF, SOUNDS OF SCREAMS AND SQUELCHING) #miniaturepainting #minipainting #darkwater #warhammer #warhammerquest #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

I figure they earn a metal ritual disc for each kill they make? Here's five of the Fourteen (!!) cultists from Darkwater. Finished the batch over the weekend, definitely need a break and a switch to something non Nurgle for the next paint. #warhammer #warhammerquest #minipainting #nurgle

Bit of afternoon alchemy as I mix up some new juice washes based on @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social's Marine Juice recipe. Grape Juice (right side) is Druchii Violet, Lahmian, and AP Dark Tone. Goth Juice (left) is subtler using Targor Rageshade, Lahmian, and AP Purple Tone. #minipainting

WIP update for the #darkwater jabrones. Basecoats, highlights, and washes down so figures starting to look less unintentionally icky and more Nurgle gross. Gonna need a break from batch painting this weekend! #warhammer #warhammerquest #minipainting #warhammercommunity

WIP Wednesday! Still deep in the Ugly Phase for these #darkwater jabrones. I've gone around and around on their colors before just doing a green tinged black for their cloths. Next is yellow ochre for their ritual discs. Way too much detail on these guys! #wipwednesday #warhammer #minipainting

Blight Templar! Forgot to post the last of the weekend's chonkers last night. Next up for Darkwater is the cultists, so a bit of batch painting chores ahead. #warhammer #warhammerquest #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #darkwater #nurgle

Blight Templar! I think this one is my favorite of the three. Love the tree growing out of him, roots poking through the armor. #darkwater #warhammer #miniaturepainting #warhammerquest #warhammercommunity #nurgle

Blight Templar! Working on these Darkwater chonkers over the weekend. #warhammer #warhammerquest #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

Mulgoth the Cleaver! In awe of the size of this lad. Absolute unit. Might go back in to shade some more purple/magenta to the arm flaps to help with contrast as I was defo trying to pull the light beefy armways. #warhammer #minipainting #warhammerquest #darkwater #wip #absoluteunit

And here she is! Copper Vesh, Goblin Bandit sculpted by @gazminis.bsky.social Of course, the first time I roll out the photo stage, I do it for a figure that's wildly out of scale, but I think it sort of works? #minipainting #goblins #fantasy #miniaturepainting #warhammer

She's clearly up to something. #minipainting #goblins #wip

Quick sponge paint on some WH terrain so I can take pictures of minis not in a void or in front of a paint rack. #minipainting #miniaturepainting #warhammer

Roll on, #wipwednesday ! Starting in on the next batch of the Fiddly Gitz using the goblin junker squad from @gazminis.bsky.social I went mint instead of lime with Sniper Larkin as I figured all squads have a Quiet One. #necromunda #miniaturepainting #warhammer #goblins

Nice, uh, frame? First Hadrey of the year, part of my attempts to digitally kitbash older STLs into newer projects. This one was inspired by Monument Hobbies' texture pallettes and the fact the back of the kitbashed mini was a dog's breakfast. #miniaturepainting #bustpainting #cameo

Cankerborn! Since I guess they raise up from the #Darkwater swamp, I based their skin with the same mix I use for basing puddles. Fleshy bits for contrast, lurid greens in honor of Papa N. #miniaturepainting #warhammer #warhammercommunity

Bren Tylis from Darkwater Going for a worn down vibe for her equipment by trying a dull nmm approach which to be honest is the only non metallic metal I feel I even can come close to. #miniaturepainting #warhammer #warhammerquest

Happy New Year! A year of Hadreys I painted a bumper crop of halfling warlocks this year designed by folks like @twingoddessminis.bsky.social , @awkwpengu.bsky.social , Mia Kay, Tamzin, and even carved and printed a block print myself. Hope to get more done in 2026! #miniaturepainting

Spent the evening rearranging my painting desk to accommodate a new computer. Might have some space to fit a photo area under the fancy Redgrass light? Here's a test shot of the finished Gothblin Queen from @twingoddessminis.bsky.social in situ. #miniaturepainting #goblin #gobbo

Good ole Gelgus. I suspect after the holidays, my painting queue is not the only one he's infested. I like how Nurgle seems to be cornering the Folk Horror market, seems to fit for them more than the other three. #miniaturepainting #warhammer #darkwater #nurgle #warhammercommunity

Kritza, the Rat Prince. Technically still a #wipwednesday as I can see some spots to touch up. Went Thin White Duke with him so he'll likely look better in a more staged photo. #warhammer #miniaturepainting #vampire

One last shot of the Boney Island Whitefish before shifting focus to some vampires or something. I have the zombies primed, but I'm not sure what I want to do with them so single model focus for now. #cursedcity #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity

Watch Captain Halgrim I'm going with the fiction that the axe is cursed, sentient, and animates corpses to serve it. Could make for a cool #D&D encounter as the axe keeps bringing back skeles and if its wielder drops, another comes to pick it up. #cursedcity #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity

Skeleton Horde Update After the base undercoat, it's pretty much all thinned metallics and SpeedPaints, then highlights. Bone parts picked out in cool and lime greens. I like how thinned Doomfire magenta reacts to the undercoat. Picked details with salmon. #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity

SANTA BROUGHT IT EARLY I need a project over the holidays so ended up with some Warhammers Quest. Under sprayed the Cursed City skeletons to start. #miniaturepainting #cursedcity #warhammer #warhammercommunity

For #wipwednesday, continuing the Lime vs Mint #goblin experiment with these TGM royals. I can see why the preference is for lime as you can't highlight mint up as brightly without going more into blues. There might be a Third Way, of course, going green to faded green? #miniaturepainting

More goblin time over the weekend. Took some extra time with the blends and I think they came out pretty good! When it comes to goblin skin, do you prefer Lime (green yellows) or Mint (green blues)? #miniaturepainting #goblin #goblinmode

Mari Lwyd Tree Ornament An embiggenned STL from @vaevictisminis.bsky.social Of course, this means I need to get the tree out of the basement. #miniaturepainting #hobbyhorse #wales #folklore

Follow up to yesterday's Necromunda #Goblins, the Fiddly Gitz, here are two more. They're from Hardwitch and being less equipped could work as Juves if those are still a thing? (I have not played #Necromunda since the days of plastic doors and cardstock platforms.) #warhammer #miniaturepainting

Technically it's a #wipwednesday as I still have to put them on real bases and clean up all the fiddly bits I see in the pics. Hrm. Fiddly Bits (Gitz?) ain't a bad name for this Necromunda goblin squad from @gazminis.bsky.social #miniaturepainting #warhammer #goblins #necromunda

Bear Cavalry black paints. I think I've finally found replacements for my beloved Broken Anvil Cool/Warm/Neutral Blacks. I'll try them out once the current Crop o'goblins is done. @bearcavalrypaints.bsky.social #miniaturepainting #painting

Did our annual visit to see the portal in the graveyard this weekend.

Another Hadrey bust from the well! Still practicing skin tones and how to add depth and interest. This one was a lot of magenta glazing. Did a bit of post on the STL by adding the eyes to the mantle and amulet to the necklace. #miniaturepainting #bustpainting

More #wip Excited to see a Mari Lwyd from @vaevictisminis.bsky.social this month! We tried to hunt down a Mari Lwyd tree ornament when we were in Wales for the holidays last year but failed, so I sized up the STL to make one myself. Fishbutt for scale. #3dprinting #miniaturepainting

Another #wipwednesday ! Over the holiday weekend I was gifted some oil paints so gave them a shot on another bust from the well. I paused when the white spirits odor became too much even with ventilation, will pick it back up when I get a less stinky solvent. #miniaturepainting #bust

Raided the Primed Pile of Shame over the weekend and untombed a vampire. Trying to bring more contrast to my skin, which is easier when doing inhuman skin tones. #miniaturepainting #bust #vampire
