Progress on the 2E veteran Stormtroopers for @prideonparade.bsky.social Work in progress but I like where this is going. #Nerdlings #PrideOnParade

‘Aight ya’ll, in support of #prideonparade and Mermaids UK I’ve made the decision to give away packs of stickers I made in exchange for any donation to the org All you have to do is make your donation, DM me a screenshot of the confirmation page and give me a shipping name and address. Bam. Easy.

So I have a ton of these stickers I made but don’t ever intend on selling them for profit. I’m curious if anyone would be interested in these in exchange for a donation to Mermaids through #prideonparade. I can ship to any country

Just made a second donation of £30, bringing our total so far to £66 plus Gift Aid donated to Mermaids in addition to a donation to Portal Bookshop in York from one of our participants. If you'd like to donate to Mermaids via PayPal yourself you can go here: www.paypal.com/fundraiser/c...

After loosing their guns these two veteran Stormtroopers have been equipped with slightly more modern “Hellguns” (Ryza pattern Hot Shot Lasgun variants) They’ll be part of a squad for @prideonparade.bsky.social Go check the project out! Even better: become a part of it! #Nerdlings #PrideOnParade

Little more #wip on the pride marine for #prideonparade

My little parade rat!! He’s got his trans colours, pride flag, pink triangle, intersex shield, and a pile of bricks just incase ;) @prideonparade.bsky.social

I know this isn't a mini, but it IS seriously cool :)

First model completed for #PrideonParade - Bretonnian peasant archer from the 5th edition box set. Matching knight being worked on - the idea being that each knight will have a different flag and have brought one or two retainers with them.

First Trans Pride #RogueTrader harlequin completed (except the base, didn’t have any goblin green) #PrideOnParade #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #oldhammer #warhammer40k

While we're looking forward to sharing some really cool minis people are working on I think it's important to be reminded that you're not alone; not only is this diorama great, it was the most popular piece in the competition at NOVA. Also, alt text is important :p Have a great day everyone!

Had this idea more than year ago but did it only now. there will be more of pride khornates in future btw :3 #nerdlings #prideonparade #warhammer #warhammercommunity #khorne #bloodletters

It's done ! And later this year it will be put on an auction, all money will be for a trans kids charity !

Had a couple of awesome deliveries in- some awesome rare older bits from @brickie78.bsky.social and a load of amazing newer bits from @clanblack.bsky.social (including a Captain America on sprue) & I've got them documented and up on the list of available minis now! (see the pinned post for details)

WIP: Colour blocked my Ace Marine for the #PrideOnParade project! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings #spacemarines @prideonparade.bsky.social

Here are 2 out of the 3 rainbow warriors I have painted Honestly I had fun speed painting the Pretorian for this event Please go check @prideonparade.bsky.social and show your support in any way you can🖤 #WarhammerCommunity #prideonparade #miniaturepainting

I generally intend to keep this feed focused on the positive things we're doing, but sometimes there are important things that should be done to protect each other. If you are a UK citizen or resident, please do sign this petition.

This classic Space Marine (w/ modern shoulder pads) is ready to receive a pretty coat of paint for @prideonparade.bsky.social ‘s #PrideOnParade project! Stay tuned for the progress in the next few days, back-to-school for the kids means it’s busy time for mommy. ;) #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

I was inspired by @prideonparade.bsky.social and really wanted to show support with a Rainbow Warrior! Definitely one of the coolest chapters out there. Might kitbash some marines into fun chapters for the Deathwatch over time! #nerdlings #pride #rainbowwarriors #warhammercommunity #lgbtq #minis

I'm calling the Bi-lennium Falcon done now or I'll spend forever tinkering with it. @prideonparade.bsky.social #pride #starwars

The Bi-lennium Falcon WiP #wipwednesday Inspired by @cerberusxt.bsky.social and @sheroqueer.com #starwars Not 100% happy with it, and I need to take more photos in better lighting.

What am I doing with my life

Classic 2nd edition Warhammer 40k Ogryn painted in a pansexual flag scheme for #PrideOnParade! This was a LOT of fun to paint. The classic models are just full of character. Go check @prideonparade.bsky.social for details ♥️♥️♥️ #WarhammerCommunity #PaintSlam25 #oldhammer #roguetrader

Working on the 2nd edition Ogryn for #PrideOnParade Going for a pan flag scheme with this one! Check out the project over at: @prideonparade.bsky.social Raising money for Mermaids to help trans folks!

Sean, a Disgruntled Druid This sculpt by @awkwpengu.bsky.social dropped the same day I heard about @prideonparade.bsky.social so it seemed like fate that I paint them up to join the parade. They're a bit banged up but not giving up. #prideonparade #miniaturepainting

I'm not going to repost their entire June feed, but @unicorncompany.bsky.social has a lovely Pride parade of #Battletech minis for all the Mechwarriors in the community :)

@prideonparade.bsky.social Trans Pride One from earlier this year.

Part of #Nerdlings #Pride themed month @prideonparade.bsky.social

It's a great cause. Will have to check to see if I have a suitable model to do for this. #PrideonParade

So the Void Nymphs Chapter of Space Marines follows unorthodox patterning (I kinda based it on the Red Corsairs). I made a start, still lots to do & this is only the base layer but happy so far. @prideonparade.bsky.social #pridehammer #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #prideonparade #lgbt

I'll have to have a proper look, and paint erratically/slowly but here's some I prepared earlier

What an awesome and fun project! The miniature hobby space is so diverse and creative, there's so many ways to express support. I like being able to support this in a way without feeling like I'm mansplaining. I don't know anything about being non-binary, but I do know how to show love and support.

What a great thing you've started here. I'll support a best I can. This was a gift for a work friend. I was hesitant because I worried it would offend. I didn't want it to look like I was calling out their identity. They loved it, and I was glad. Last I saw, it had pride of place on their desk.

heres Fabulous Bill, painted him for pride month last year! all the flags took a while

Will this be enough? She's my pride and joy 🩷💙

This sounds like such a cool initiative. I painted this knight up a few months back to show solidarity for all my trans brothers and sisters in the hobby. Might have to do a few more flags now…

This looks to be a great project. There are a number of ways that we can show our support for trans folk. #Warhammer #EmperorsChildren #PrideonParade

I wrote all of this in a response to somebody and then immediately thought back to myself "I should have posted that on the feed!" So, uhh, here we are :)

Thank you all for an amazing first day! It's been awesome to see everyone getting enthusiastic about the #PrideOnParade project and posting their amazing minis. It's been a little overwhelming, ngl, but in a good way. This is just the start. But, for now, I need some sleep. Have a good night!

Ha ha, I just did a couple of very quick prints... they look great!

Hi everyone, an unexpected but important release to plug today. In order to support the @prideonparade.bsky.social project, we are offering an STL of a duck, suitable for painting in the the pride colors of your choice. Pricing info follows #PrideOnParade www.wargamevault.com/product/5351...

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social (medic, left) and @fenrisgames.com (kingfisher, right) both make amazing models. And they look good in pride colours too. 😁

If you're struggling to figure out how to paint a rainbow on one mini (I know I haven't done a lot with bright colours in the past), this tutorial from @voiceofkosh.bsky.social might be a good place to start :)

I am not a great modeller and my painting can only ever be described as OK... but I am fast and making models like these give me a lot of joy

Pride on Parade is a very cool fundraising project. Take a look and see how you can get involved. I've been known to paint a rainbow mini or two... (I've lost count) I can confirm, it's very fun. 😁 #PrideHammer #Nerdlings @prideonparade.bsky.social

Well if there's no better reason, I might have to pop more focus onto my pan flag gobbos c:

As someone who occasionally paints pride-themed minis, I kind of have to share this project. (also, the mini on the right is sculpted by @awkwpengu.bsky.social , and is available as a free 3D file) #miniaturepainting

It's a WIP but hopefully it fits the bill

Want to join in on a good thing? Check this out and be a part of it! 👇 My Pride Cherub is getting some company soon I guess. #PrideOnParade #Nerdlings
