Parked the Ravener to squeeze in the Mini of the Month and test my Battleclade camo idea. The servitor came out pretty decent (minus a missed mould line), but I don’t think it’ll work for the Battleclade… Servitors have too many bits that are neither armour nor uniform. #WarhammerCommunity

Can’t have Felltalon-bro be the only Ravener without a premium dirt mound base. Time to rock‘n Milliput! 😁 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Basing #KillTeam #Tyranids #Typhon #Raveners

Ravener #3: The Tremorscythe. Antlers included. Very festive. Basically Rudolph, the red-carapaced Ravener. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer40K #KillTeam #Typhoon #Raveners #Tyranids

The Ravener Wrecker is done. How many claws would you like? Yes. 😂 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Tyranids #KillTeam #Ravener #Typhon

Beerholder - A gift for my neighbor - hope he likes it! He printed it earlier this year and then gave it to me when he saw me admiring it. He hosts our weekly Shadows of Brimstone games, and is an all-around great guy. #beer #beholder #minipainting #gift #d&d #miniaturepainting #3dprint #beerholder

First stormtroopers unit ✅ #starwars #swlegion #amg #warhammer #40k #painting

The Ravener Prime is done. I briefly considered a different colour scheme for Typhon, but in the end I stuck with my homebrew Kraken colours so the Hormagaunts fit right in with the rest of my Nids. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Tyranids #KillTeam #Raveners

Here’s the whole Slaanesh gang. It looks like quite the party. #minipainting #miniaturepsinting #warhammer

Just a WIP shot today, the Ravener Prime will need a bit more time. Also, a family photo of Strike Force Hazard, which I totally forgot to post last week. Minus Uncle Chaplain, though, his ride is too big for the picture 😂 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #WIP #Tyranids #ImperialFists

Ok, let’s do this. But without a challenge this time. Having a goal was great and kept me on my toes, but it also made me rush and take shortcuts. And it’s no coincidence that the last few minis I spent more time on turned out to be my best. So: slow and steady from here on out. #WarhammerCommunity

The Librarian in Terminator Armour is done! I saved this guy for last because I knew he’d demand every bit of skill I picked up this year and he absolutely did. But I’m honestly incredibly proud of the result. 52-in-52 is complete, four weeks ahead of schedule. Week 48: Minis 52😁 #WarhammerCommunity

Painting the runes not once but four times almost broke me 😂 but for a first try I think the OSL effect turned out okay. The Scriptor is still ongoing, but the end of project 52-in-52 is coming into view. Week 47: still 51 minis. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #WIP

The blade ate my entire hobby time today. Looked way easier when Duncan did it. And, well, his result definitely looked better 😂 Jokes aside, I think it turned out okay. The blends could be smoother and the edge highlights cleaner, but all in all I’m not unhappy with it. #WarhammerCommunity #WIP

For all the crusaders out there. Crusader Orders Vol.3. 466 transfers focused on focus on Order of Saint Lazarus, also known as Leper Brothers of Jerusalem, the Order of Avis and the Order of Alcantara. #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #wargaming #wargamingminiatures #trenchcrusade

Little and large #nerdlings

For all the crusaders out there. Crusader Orders Vol.2. 412 transfers focused on focus on Order of Christ Cross, Order of Calatrava, Livonian Brothers of the Sword and Knights Hospitaller. #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #wargaming #wargamingminiatures #trenchcrusade #trenchcrusademiniatures

Tackled one of the greaves of the Scriptor tonight to get a feel for him. Yep… this will be a challenge. A bit worried though that four layers of different blue plus the white highlights are clogging the recesses, #WarhammerCommunity should I thin with water instead of Lahmian? #WIP

Biker Chaplain done. This time I went all in on the details: no shortcuts, nothing skipped, even if it took a while. And I’ve got to say… I’m rarely truly happy with my minis, but looking at this guy, I can’t help grinning from ear to ear. 😁 Week 45: Minis 51 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Impulse: Look, the terrain special! Reason: But we already have terrain. Killzone Volkus. The Tomb World set. We haven’t built any of that yet. And we’ve never actually played Warhammer. Impulse: Limited offer! Reason: FOMO FOMO FOMO!!! #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #CombatPatrol

Do you even Spacewar bro

No finished mini this week. I see the Chaplain as kind of a test run for the mini I consider the final boss of my first hobby year. So I’m trying to push the details as far as my current skill level allows… which might take a few more days 😅 Week 44: Minis 50 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

And the Parasite of Mortrex is done! Had a blast painting it. Gluing it together… not so much. Nothing seemed to fit quite right, as the gaps in the pictures clearly show. Anyway, he’s the last of the Vardenghast Swarm. So, week 43: Minis 50, Combat Patrols 1 😁 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

The decals from @forgottenchapters.bsky.social I ordered for the Biker Chaplain arrived and they look fantastic. Thanks, Bruno! Also got a sheet of Maltese crosses… I know, technically they belong to the Black Templars, but they just look too good 😁 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Since I’m making good progress with the Parasite, I figured I’d give glazing another try. And holy cow, pulling the moisture out of the brush after loading the paint actually worked. Not the nicest glaze job ever, but for the first time, it really looks like one. 😁 #WarhammerCommunity #WIP

The Captain is done! Can’t believe I actually managed to finish him in a week. Lots of stuff I’d never tried before — some worked out great, some not so much. But overall, I’m really happy with how he turned out. Week 42: Minis 49 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #ImperialFists #SpaceMarines

#WarhammeCommunity I’m a bit unsure about the decal, it is a bit too small for the shield. What should I do? 1️⃣ Leave it as is 2️⃣ Paint the rim black 3️⃣ Remove the decal, paint the shield white, cut out only the cross, and place it on the black shield?

1st attempt at painting a cloak. Not utterly terrible, but not great either. Even though I thinned the paints down to almost wash consistency, I just couldn’t get smooth transitions, the layers are way too visible. Also, Nuln Oil probably wasn’t the best choice for the shadows 😅 #WarhammerCommunity

The Prime is done. The edge highlights didn’t quite turn out the way I imagined, should’ve stuck with drybrushing instead of doing them by hand. But so what, overall he’s okay, and we paint and learn. Next to tackle: The captain Week 41: Minis 48 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Impulse: Fists! Fists! Fists! Logic: WE ARE WALLBROTHERS!!! …Dear GW, please stop releasing stuff I have the urge to buy, the money to pay but not the time to paint… 😂 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhamner #CombatPatrol #ImperialFists

Back at the painting desk after a week of forced break, and finally a chance to try out my new lighting setup: two IKEA lamps fitted with daylight photo bulbs. Just a tiny bit overpowered 😂 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

My Axis Vogelspinne, "Otto the Great", is now finished! I tried something a bit different with the camouflage scheme. I think it works well with what I want & I'm now carrying over for all my Axis forces. (Miniature from @WarlordGames Konflikt 47 range). More soon. 👍

I guess my bold words caught the attention of the Primordial Annihilator… He sent me three days of high fever and landed me in the hospital today. So no painting for me this week. But guess what? Still loyal to the throne 💀 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

To hit my 52-in-52 target, I’m down to 5 minis left…and wouldn’t you know it, exactly 5 remain from my first 2 Combat Patrols: the Prime, the Captain, the Psyker, the Parasite of Mortrex, and the Bike Chaplain. Three months left… should be doable, right? 😅 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

This week the Emperor smiled upon me: the remaining 7 Termagants and 2 Ripper Swarms are finally done. Man, it feels so good not to stare at those 12 half-finished minis on my desk every day anymore. Took me only 9 weeks 😂 Week 39: Minis 47 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Tyranids

Infernus ✅ #warhammer #warhammer40k #40k #combatpatrol

Two more Termagants done! I actually hoped to finish a few more this week, but adulting got in the way and ate my weekend. Still, I’m back on track with the 52-in-52 plan. Week 38: Minis 38 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Tyranids

Finally some progress on the Termagants. Batch-painting 10 gants at once was a disaster - repeating the same step 10 times in a row just killed my motivation. Happened twice now, so: no more batch painting for me. One mini at a time! Week 37: Minis 36 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Impulse: Oh look, the new Tomb World box! Logic: Nice, but we literally just bought Typhon and Volkus. Haven’t even touched them yet. And don’t forget the Combat Patrol backlog. Shouldn’t we finish SOMETHING first? Impulse: It’s got Necrons! Logic: … say no more! #WarhammerCommunity #Tombworld

“Not as much progress as planned” might slowly become my motto. Although, last week I didn’t just paint Termagants but also the living room. And guess what? Painting the room (without moving furniture) went faster than a single Termagant. Food for thought 😂 Week 33: Minis 35 #WarhammerCommunity

Finally getting around to posting my wicked brush piece. Don’t place but super happy with it! #miniature

Not as much progress as planned, but the Termagants are moving forward. All bio-weapons are done, carapaces are in progress. Week 32: Minis 35 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer40k #Tyranids #WIP

Dear Emperor, day 3 of rain. Spirits are low, hope fading. I can’t risk another priming session in the laundry room, last time the whole stairwell smelled like a Mechanicus factory. Please, just 30 minutes of dryness. Your loyal (and slightly desperate) BBR. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Tweaked the camera settings a bit and got some new pictures I'm much happier with. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

After one mini is before the next. With my 52-minis-in-52-weeks challenge in mind, it’s time to shift gears back to quantity. Gotta build the buffer to spend 4 weeks on a single model again. And what says “quantity” better than Termagants? Onwards, Hive Fleet! #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Ok #WarhammerCommunity, the Psychophage is done. Four weeks later… definitely longer than expected. Greatest paintjob of all time? Probably not. Did I give it everything I’ve got? Absolutely. Battle ready? I would say more than enough to scare the enemy 😁 Week 30: Minis 35 #PaintingWarhammer

Imperial Fists Combat Patrol incoming? Why paint just the 9 Combat Patrols from the subscription (with the Space Marine Patrol already planned as Fists) when you can paint 10? Shut up and take my money!!! 😁 #Warhammer40k #ImperialFists #CombatPatrol #WarhammerCommunity #PlasticAddiction

Report on the Psychophage (or “the big sow,” as my wife calls it): progress has been made! Not perfect, but nowhere near crash-and-burn territory. Minor leg-related incident, but who needs push-to-fit when you’ve got super glue, right? 😁 Week 28: Minis 34 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #WIP

Reinforcements have arrived. Scripter Magister Tigurius, a Primaris Company Champion, a Bike Chaplain and the first Aeldari. Meanwhile, I haven’t even finished painting all Space Marines and Tyranids from the first 2 Combat Patrols. Let’s not even talk about Typhon or Volkus… 😅 #WarhammerCommunity

Starting Cold Wind Blowing from #HorrorOnTheOrientExpress for #CallofCthulhu this weekend, so I made an Ithaqua medallion using AI, Python, a 3D printer and some paint. Came out pretty decent for just having one reference image 😁 Can’t share the STL sadly-pretty sure #Chaosium owns the image rights.

Ok, no terrible mistakes have been made so far. Hope that holds. Now I need to figure out how to create a colour gradient on the carapace & I don’t really know how to wet blend, glaze, or do any of the other smooth transition magic 😂 Week 27: Minis 35 #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #tyranids
