Hey folks, thought you may want to see what I’ve been working on at the moment. Here is my 2001 plastic Dreadnought all rebased, basecoated and ready for some shading and highlights. #oldhammer #nerdlings #warhammerpainting

Just joined UK’s Green Party for a few reasons. Starmer himself suggested ppl like me leave the Labour Party when he assumed leadership. Request granted. But the Greens’ recent success & polling (and more importantly their policy goals!) show them to be robust & viable. join.greenparty.org.uk

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Donald Trump runs 13 US bases on UK soil with over 11,000 troops. We never voted for this. We say NO to being the lapdog of US imperialism. Shut the bases down. Kick all US troops out NOW.

🎉 Congratulations Hannah Spencer MP. 👉🏼 Here's what happens next: www.youtube.com/live/mvz5Sw6...

At least someone in the Labour Party is talking sense! Honestly good on Greens for winning Denton and Gorton, they have shown that actual good progressive, hopeful messages can win in these dark times! 💚

The Representation of the People Bill is a rare chance to renew our democracy - yet it ignores the voting system driving chaos and disillusionment. We need MPs standing up for fair votes in this upcoming debate. Urge your MP to attend: actionnetwork.org/letters/repr...

Lower bills. Protect the NHS. Rebuild public services. Vote Hannah Spencer & the Green Party.

I've just emailed "Write To Your MP: Make the National Commission on Electoral Reform Real" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/wr... @OpenBritainHQ

Yeah that looks about right 😊 very cool work by Theo, check it out below!

Oops I completely forgot to post my January 2026 PaintSlam update! In Janaury I managed to finish off 6 classic Hero Quest Orcs. This takes my monthly total to 6 so far and gives me some breathing room for this month's mini and it's one I'm very excited about showing off 😁 #paintslam #nerdlings

🚨WOW! Now closing on 88,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed. Let’s keep going! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Fascism is anti-human. It requires the complete abdication of your ethics, morals and values. The death of your soul. This is the price. There is no safety or salvation in staying quiet or looking the other way.

FDR: “The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."

Billionaires are getting richer and capturing our politics, undermining democracy. @oxfaminternational.bsky.social's global inequality report - out today to coincide with #Davos - has a clear call to action: we must resist the #RuleOfTheRich. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Happy New Year everyone! Last year I set myself a goal of painting 3 minis a month in 2025, I didn’t quite make it but I still painted around 10 more minis in 2025 than 2024. Here are all the minis I painted in 2025, this year I hope to reach my target of 3 minis a month, wish me luck!

I do not want your AI slop I do not want it in my mop I do not want it in my house I do not want it in my mouse I do not like brain-rotting AI spam I do not want it, Sam Alt-man

I’ve not managed to paint much recently but have gotten back into playing games. Not sure how many BG3 fans follow me but I’ve finally started a Dark Urge run of Baldur’s Gate 3 with my Gnome Bard Maybelle. Though you may like to see my tiny menace to society. #baldursgate3 #durge #bg3 #gnome

🚨BUDGET REACTION: Another Budget which shields the super-rich. The Chancellor “remains out of touch” while the public “pay the price.” Full statement: bit.ly/4pt3WIB.

Every human being everywhere on earth should have all the tasty food, and good and safe housing, and a fantastic education through graduate school, and all the healthcare they need or want, all for free. There is more than enough wealth on this planet to do that. We just need to divide it fairly.

Tax wealth. Not work. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Hi everyone, I'm back! It's been a very busy few months woth not much panting time but l've finally finished a model! This is Rayna von Firkrag, a Radical Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus. #warhammer40k #inquisitorgreyfax #warhammercommunity #warhammerconversions #nerdlings #dadhammer

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

I'm anti-fascist too 💙

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/uk...

When we allow Intolerance to take hold, which we have, the consequences spread 🤨🤨

Hi everyone, it’s time for the last of my classic Hero Quest heroes! Today it’s The Wizard, I’ve gone for a similar colour scheme to the original character art but with a slight Gale from BG3 vibe. #warhammer #heroquest #wizard #warhammerpainting #dadhammer #oldhammer #heroquestcommunity #nerdlings

Hi everyone, it’s Hero Quest time again! Today it’s The Elf, I decided to give him a more classic Elf look than the box art & for some reason I gave him an eye patch as a kid so decided to keep that. #warhammer #heroquest #elf #warhammerpainting #dadhammer #oldhammer #heroquestcommunity #nerdlings

This week I’ve had a little break from Hero Quest to paint up this lovely model of The Librarian from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld for my Mum’s birthday present. #nerdlings #Discworld #TheLibrarian #orangutan #librarian #TerryPratchett #minipainting #modelpainting

Can someone please pass the memo around that the winningest political strategy right now is just: - Don’t persecute minorities or the vulnerable - Make things better for as many people as you can - tax the super rich

BREAKING: New polling from @yougov.co.uk shows 75% of Brits support taxing extreme wealth. But today Keir Starmer once again brushed off calls for higher taxes on the super-rich. When will the PM stop siding with billionaires and listen to the British public instead? 350.org/tax-their-bi...

Hi everyone, here is the next classic Hero Quest hero for you. This time it is The Dwarf. Enjoy! #warhammer #warhammerfantasy #heroquest #dwarf #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #dadhammer #oldhammer #oldhammercommunity #heroquestcommunity #nerdlings

Hi everyone, I’m back and today I’d like to share my version of the classic Hero Quest hero The Barbarian with you. Enjoy! #warhammer #warhammerfantasy #heroquest #barbarian #conan #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #dadhammer #oldhammer #oldhammercommunity #heroquestcommunity #nerdlings

Pitting disabled people against children in poverty. Absolutely disgusting and let’s be clear: no one voted for Austerity 2.0

🚨 This week’s UN Financing for Development Forum in Seville is a critical moment. Our global financial system is built to concentrate wealth, reward pollution, and fuel inequality. Leaders must decide whether to rewrite the economic rules. It's time to #TaxTheirBillions 💰⬇ #FFD4 #TaxTheSuperRich

Finally finished the 3D Pikachu Pokémon Card for my sister’s birthday, not completely happy with it but I know she will like it. Don’t think I’ll be painting this much yellow again though 😅 #nerdlings #pokemon #pikachu #minipainting #modelpainting

Hi everyone, I realised I didn't post a photo of the full Tactical Squad I painted earlier this month so here is Squad Venator in all their glory (with some plasma options standing at the back) enjoy! #dadhammer #oldhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarine #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Hi everyone, I’ve finally finished the Sergeant and Special/Heavy weapon options for Tactical Squad Venator. I think they have turned out well & I’m very happy with the scorch effect on my flamer 😁 #dadhammer #oldhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarine #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #warhammercommunity
