Post a pic of yourself as a doctor (Not a doctor btw, I only have an MA 😉)

Nostalgia has taken over and I've finally built the last 30 of my old plastic Cadians. Bought a long time ago when conscripts were still a thing, so that will be their role in my 5th Edition army. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Wazdakka Gutsmek? Let him come. My Guard's mounted unit was just issued with new bikes and is now ready to intercept his Speedwaaagh. 😁 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

How I'm riding into Monday.

I'm getting a bit envious while I'm building the Masters of the Maelstrom: How cool is Captain Sargotta's base? I want one, or two, for my Guard officers. #warhammercommunity

QRP with an old piece you still like. This Bright Wizard is on fire, literally. A limited mini from 2006, it belongs to the first painted batch of my Empire army, and hence is very basic. But I still like the flames, even though I did paint them wrong. (Hey, they are magical flames 😉.)

Nobody tell the commissars, but I strayed from the Imperium. 🤫 #warhammercommunity

Share a preacher, nun or priest!

It took me a bit longer than I'd like to admit until I decided what colors to use for the Astropath's robe. Well, he probably can double as Red Wizard of Thay, should I ever need one. 😂 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

These Rough Riders go vrooom. With this unit (almost) done, it might finally be time to paint the Cadian metal command squad and the regimental advisors. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Guard army number 7. My Tallarn 87th, part of my overall combined 87th Batallion. Led by Captain Shaw and his two valued Lieutenants Hume and Chapman and Veteran Sergeant Lawrence. More photos to follow. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

Saved a bumblebee today. 🐝

I needed to redo my storage solution for my Imperial Guard (the 122nd Cadian inspired by the Cityfight book) now that I've finished my conscript platoon. So I took the opportunity to take a new photo of the whole collection.

For this #caturday have a photo from a few years ago, when my cat Lilly joined me during a painting session. I can't help it, but she looks like she just made the winning move in a game. 😼 #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting

A quick photo of my custom Rough Riders, now that I've started to put some paint on them. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Post something hot hot hot!

My commissar had a quick appointment at the dentist today to get his teeth whitened. In other words: I spotted a mistake which looked alright on the table, but bugged me enough on the photo to bring him back to the painting table. 😅 #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #nerdlings

If you see this drop some armour…

Sneak peek at a new 11th Edition Guard unit: Ghost Riders. 😜 In all seriousness, I'm quite happy how these bikes look. The riders still need a bit more work with their uniform jackets. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

If you see this, drop a hero with a sword! (Bonus pic for best commissar. 😉) #warhammercommunity #ImperialGuard #jhbackdrops

I'm a day early, but I had time to do my end of the month roundup: With 67 minis March has been very productive. This is mostly because of the 54 Guard minis I’ve been working on since January. I expect this number to drop again in April, but I'm open to surprises. 😁 #miniaturepainting #paintslam

I found a latinized phrase in some old lore paper I wrote for my army: "Ever loyal to the Emperor and the City". Shortened it, then shortened it even further and now my regimental standard has a motto. Good enough for my purposes. I dislike painting tiny letters. #warhammercommunity #ImperialGuard

Fixed the mold line on "fuel guy's" left arm, and I'm calling the tank crew and Sly done. The ratlings need a bit more work, and the banner bearer needs a slogan. I won't be able to varnish them for a few more days anyway, so I have time to come up with something. #warhammercommunity #ImperialGuard

Share your snow ❄️ art!

If you see this, post something pink (I had to, after seeing your pink Matilda.)

Progress with my Guard WIPs. I'm getting closer to the finish line with these. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

I think all the #Adepticon reveals for the Guard look great. Since my Krieg army doesn't have transports yet I'm very interested in the Centaur. Thenia Graves will almost certainly be added. My highlight is Wazdakka though. I love how over the top this model is. And it's red. #warhammercommunity

Newly painted minis, new photo opportunity: When an Imperial outpost went silent, a team of the 27th Stormtrooper Group was tasked with a recon mission far into the snowy North. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

A Warhammer army never truly is finished, right? And if you've seen my recent posts you know my plans. But: These Kasrkin are my army's last OG unit. Only took me 20 years to get them painted. 😂 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

It's still a very early WIP, but here's the basic appearance of my Rough Riders on bikes. Might still tweak it here and there till I'm entirely happy with the arms before I'll add bits and all that. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Human artists, use only one piece to persuade people to follow you. Human? Maybe. Artist? Not so sure about that. 😜 But this picture should tell you everything how I'm painting my minis: Basic techniques, but they look good on the table imho.

While I'm finishing my old Guard army, I've decided to finally start implementing this kitbash idea that lived in my head for years: Rough Riders on bikes! Here's a first look. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

This is the look my cat has given me when I added the latest squad of minis to my army. Should I let him know that today is preorder day for the new Custodes minis? 😂 #warhammercommunity

Got some pictures of the apricot tree in my parents' garden. Much to the delight of the bees it has already started to bloom. #bloomscroll #nature

Captain Nellis and his hardened veterans have been tasked with a mission that leads them into the ruined outer districts of their capital, right into hostile territory. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

I won't finish my army if I keep making new minis for it! But it really, really needed a beaten-up banner bearer to rally around. That said there's progress: I'm calling my vets done. #wipwednesday #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Drop some bows 🏹

First mini ever (2003) vs first one after returning from a long hiatus (late 2019) vs one from a week ago.

Happy St Patrick's Day. 🍀 Post something green!

I'm excited about the news that Yarrick returns. He was never dead, everything else is enemy propaganda. 😉 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

I used the weekend to remove another mini from my pile, where it has been for more than a few years. Shame actually, because I think the pilot from the 4th Edition starter set is really characterful for its age. #WarhammerCommunity #MarchforMacragge #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

The look at my pile of unfinished minis made me resist Blood Bowl S3, Crux Terminatus, and Darkwater. It's getting more difficult with the recent and upcoming releases, especially the Maelstrom battleforces and the Custodes box. Such good looking minis. Send help! 😂 #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Earlier this week I succumbed and bought myself a box of chocolates. Which also means I've now got a storage box for my Ancient Greece-themed warband. I can be so glad that the storage solutions for my 40k armies did come without sweets. 😁 #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

And here he is, freshly varnished. Won't win me any prices, but I'm quite proud how he turned out. C&C appreciated, because as said, it's been a while since I painted Marines. #WarhammerCommunity #MarchforMacragge #SpaceMarines #Ultramarines #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

While Calgar still needs some touch-ups, I already like how he looks. Fun mini to paint. Haven't painted a Space Marine in a while, Calgar even might have been the last one iirc. 2004 vs 2026: #WarhammerCommunity #MarchforMacragge #SpaceMarines #Ultramarines #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Back to my wargaming roots for this in-between project: None other than Marneus Calgar made it onto the painting table last night. He's mostly battle-ready, now on to edge highlighting. #WarhammerCommunity #MarchforMacragge #SpaceMarines #Ultramarines #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Strong women are awesome! #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Since I had most of the minis out for the commissar's speech photo, I decided to do a quick, updated, army pic as well. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings

Moments before battle, a commissar shares some uplifting words of inspiration with the men and women of his company. "We will not go quietly into the night!" #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #miniaturepainting #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

I'm ready to call my commissars done. A coat of varnish tomorrow, and off with them to the troops. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #40k #ImperialGuard #AstraMilitarum #nerdlings
