Spectre Squad is close to being done. Some final highlights, maybe just some dry brushing. Love these sculpts though. Maybe too detailed for an entire army imho, but cool for a squad or two. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Progress with my egg vehicle for @geekylina.bsky.social's War is Shell. Since this is a recon vehicle, I went for a basic camo pattern. Not being able to be spotted from miles away might increase its survivability. 😁 The hatch of the cupola is a bit more colorful to resemble an Easter egg.

Show me how you paint armour ⚔️🛡️

When everything else fails, these two are equipped with their trusty pocket knives. Didn't know that Swiss Army Knives are still a thing in the 41st millennium. 😂 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

Without saying your age, what's your favourite movie that came out when you were 18?

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛

Well boys... We've done it... We've gone overboard. And also... THE BATALLION IS COMPLETED ! Onwards to Vraks ! #warhammer #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #krieg #DkoK #deathkorpsofkreig

Inspired by reading the WIP document of the War is Shell rules, I built a little egg tank… sort of. At this size it probably is just an egg car. An EGGS-UV, or a JEEGG maybe? 😁 It's for @geekylina.bsky.social to decide if this vehicle could be used on Ovonosolo.

It's guinea pig appreciation day. I had eight of these adorable fellows over the years. After the last ones passed away 10 years ago I wanted to make some sort of memorial for them. Bad Squiddo Games has some really cute guinea pig minis, and a set of them found their way into this terrain piece.

Everyone has a favourite Commissar model. Mine is this old metal one, I think it's the slightly understated clothes and pose. Plus that riding crop in the other hand. This one will be joining my Mordian Iron Guard, making sure they are as disciplined in mind as they are in body.

Not every officer of the Guard has what it takes to lead under pressure. That's okay, the men and women of the Commissariat will take care of them. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Me then vs Me now. Marneus Calgar 2004, with an experience of 20-30 painted minis, and Marneus Calgar 2025, a long hiatus and several hundred minis since rejoining the hobby later.

Most of the base coat on Spectre Squad is done. Some details left and then on to washes. I swear, this camo pattern works against the 'Nids. 😂 The commissars and company are a bit further along. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Since I dug it up from its box: This mini also got some abs to show off. One of my older paintjobs, roughly from 2005. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialAgents #OfficioAssassinorum #VindicareAssassin #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Apparently I'm not the only one enjoying apricots. 😂 This bumblebee used one as a resting place and stayed just long enough for me to take this picture.

One year ago today, I bought my first Krieg minis. And while I've been procrastinating on this project a little bit too much lately, here's what the 212th Siege Regiment currently looks like. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

More #MassEffect x #wh40k crossover ^_^ Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams of the 212nd #Cadian. Like any loyal daughter of the #Imperium, Williams agrees that the only way to greet a xenos is with her lasgun. Curiously, she's part of Inquisitor Shepard's warband, whose methods leans... radical.

Woohoo, my favorite fruit is in season. Tasty apricots, and those from the tree in my parents' garden are the best. 😋

It's comforting that even the ancient Greeks collected Warhammer figures and never got around to painting them.

The auction for the We Are Legion diorama is now live and will run until next Saturday, 11 July. All money made (plus rounded up to the nearest £50/100) will go to The Alzheimer’s Society. Let’s see what we can achieve! ebay.io/m/kCcLqZ

It's Saturday! 📺 Post a cartoon TV series you love. 🥰

Apparently I missed the start of Victoria Miniatures new kickstarter with STL and physical minis, but in case someone was looking for some more Imperial Guard minis for their forces, have a look! #nerdlings www.kickstarter.com/projects/vic...

Small update on the Graves-mobile: Drybrushed the vehicle, applied a filter and washes. I'm quite pleased so far. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Look what I found in the house yesterday. New secret weapon for my Guard? Or is it a Tyranid? 😂

If you see this, drop a hero with a sword!

Look at this! Guard collecting goals right there.

So, I’m going to be auctioning the We Are Legion Diorama (below) with all money (rounded up to the nearest £50/100) going to The Alzheimer’s Society. Auction will be going up on Saturday and run for a week - will post the link when it’s up. It’d be great if you could all bid and spread the word!

WIP look at the Graves-mobile and the gang. I like that she is a commissar with a retinue, even if it is only shown on the vehicle. Wouldn't mind if her on-foot model also had one. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Why do you love wargaming? Here are a few ideas…

Come join PaintSlam, paint some minis, join the discord, share your pics with us, and be inspired ♥️ Info, download and discord links all at jewelknightjess.com It's completely free to join in, although there is a patreon for those wish to support and get a pretty Rossy drawn hobby log to use ❤️

The end of the month is near, so it's time to look back at what I think were some fun minis to paint. Not much progress to show with my Krieg army, but next month I'll have more time for it hopefully. #paintslam #paintslam26 #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Post a mini you're proud of Mini? What mini? There's just some floating weaponry to see here. 😅

She has survived Virmire, the Cerberus coup, and now even my first attempts of painting 1/15 scale: Ashley from Mass Effect. I didn’t add much since the last pic, just some highlights. 28mm definitely is more like my comfort zone, but I’m glad I tried this. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

I wasn't in the mood to paint, but I built some of my starter set Tyranids. Primed them in an early morning session before the heat strikes again. 40 Termagants left to do, but before doing those I want to make some progress with my Guard. #warhammercommunity #40k #tyranids #nerdlings

A live depiction of how I feel like:

If you see this post, post a soldier/knight!!!

This should be illegal. Not even from a physical media stand point. Millions upon millions of empty plastic boxes with multiple layers of plastic for a piece of paper. For what, the privilege to have an empty box on the shelf? Fuck off, this is comical levels of excess and waste.

I finished six Genestealers today, painted in what will at some point be the color scheme of my Tyranid army. Maybe right in time for 12th Edition. 😂 #warhammercommunity #40k #tyranids #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Post something fast 🏍️🏎️

It's pretty simple... If you use AI to create art, then you're not an artist. If you use AI to write, then you're not a writer. If you use AI to make music, then you're not a musician. If you use AI to animate, then you're not an animator. If you use AI to make films, then you're not a filmmaker.

Is it just me, or are the bots getting quite good with their replies? I checked the profile. Writing multiple replies to many different posts within a minute, and only sharing AI-generated pictures in their own posts, looked off. Could have fooled me. I hope I don't sound like that. Am I alive? 🤔😂

The young barn swallows are airborne (since yesterday actually, but today they left the immediate vicinity of their nest). #birds

When things got worse on [REDACTED], HQ sent someone only referred to as "Consultant". The identity was kept secret until he arrived. Or: Do you come up with lore why a named character is in your army? #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #jhbackdrops #nerdlings

Mages, post 'em if you got 'em

Here’s the whole squad

Drop something white

Pending the varnish, I'm really happy how Creed turned out, given it's only a simple paintjob of base coat, washes, and highlights. Thanks to @pantmonger.bsky.social for coming up with this challenge. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #Nerdlings11thEd

My cat has multiple water sources. Some aren't even changed daily, because she actually prefers that. Where did she go for a drink today? To my mug. Sharing is caring I guess. 😹
