Hi everyone, this WIP Wednesday I’m still working on my Bolter marines, managed to prime the bases, tidy up the blue armour and I’m currently repainting the yellow trim a coppery colour to match my new not quite Ultramarines scheme. #wipwednesday #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #dadhammer

We have a chance to ban oil and gas donations from Westminster - permanently. I just sent a letter to my MP asking them to support an amendment to the Representation of the People's Bill, will you do the same? 350.org/ban-fossil-f...

It’s time for the UK Government to license gamebird shooting in England and give Hen Harriers and other birds of prey the protection they deserve. Contact your MP today and help stop the illegal killing of these incredible birds. action.rspb.org.uk/page/185536/...

Two posts in one day?! Madness! As it’s WIP Wednesday I thought I’d show you what I’m currently working on. I’ve just rebased and drilled the barrels on the Bolter Marines for my second early 2000s Tactical Squad. #wipwednesday #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #dadhammer

Blimey. This petition is now is now at almost 98,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 today and have that debate petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since my last update but I’ve been busy painting the rest of my classic Hero Quest mummies. They were very monopose so I have reposed some and added battle damage to a few others. See next posts for more detail. #nerdlings #heroquest #oldhammer #dadhammer

The very first photo on my phone was this interesting fella, taken in painted in Feb 2013 (I guess I didn’t have an iPhone before then). Not sure who he is but he was painted on the wall of Font bar in Manchester, sadly painting and bar no longer exist 😞 Whats the very first photo on your phone?

Interesting strategy by Labour, blaming the voters (once again) for their shitty results and not considering that in fact the party in its current form and leadership by an empty and easily bought suit is the biggest problem

Well I’ve done my bit! 💚 #LocalElections #VoteGreen

Drop something red ❤️ #nerdlings

Post an image from a game you played as a teenager

Happy Easter everyone, to celebrate I though I’d finally take some photos of the dreadnought I finished painting last week! This is Lucretus Venteios, who also returned from the dead! #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #dadhammer

I signed this open letter calling on Keir Starmer to make green energy affordable for everyone. Will you join me? act.350.org/sign/make-gr...

If you see this, drop the axe 🪓 #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #dadhammer

This morning’s electricity generation. Now imagine a nation with twice the clean energy capacity and most of its transport and heating also electrified. True energy independence. A vision 100% opposed by the Tories and Reform.

Against the will of the British public, Keir Starmer has dragged the UK into another illegal war in the Middle East, and put us at risk of Iranian retaliation. He is nothing but a pound-shop Blair. How are Labour MPs allowing this? Did they learn absolutely nothing from Iraq?

I've signed this open letter calling on the government to guarantee everyone in the country gets a fair share of the benefits of renewables. act.350.org/sign/make-gr...

Little update on my Dread, finished shading with washes and next it’s time for layers and highlights. I love the shading stage, it’s so easy and makes things look a lot better all of a sudden. #oldhammer #nerdlings #warhammerpainting #dadhammer

🚨 "The government's refusal to look at Proportional Representation is dangerously short-sighted." 💬 Brendan O’Hara MP speaks during this week's Representation of the People Bill debate 👇 ❗️Increasing political fragmentation means the case for electoral reform is now stronger than ever.

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...
