Not a bad view of the Humber...

Luckily my Secret Santa was my nephew who understands my geek needs and goes the extra mile finding beers that I have never drunk before

Merry Christmas you wonderful people

I always wish I had primed some minis when the weather was good at this time of the year. I really want to paint something but until the weather allows I am buggered. I know I could get some prepped but I can't enjoy cleaning up minis no matter how hard I try...

Order from @thearmypainter.bsky.social arrived today... New brushes, new skin tones to complete my set, new markers and new, Cat-proof case! #minaturepainting #paintingminis

So... Took advantage of the discount from @weprintminiatures.com to order a DnD set of minis... Might give me the kick up the arse to start actually playing it

Really am quite proud of my little scratch build... Thanks again to @garfytop.bsky.social and @andycruns.bsky.social for inspiring me to try out something I last did in the 90's... Just need priming weather now #warhammercommunty #nerdlings #oldhammer

Oldhammer style house progress... Texture to add, then roof before priming... Really enjoyable little project #oldhammer #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Planned yesterday, materials bought this morning and project started... Again, thanks @garfytop.bsky.social and @andycruns.bsky.social for the inspiration... #nerdlings

Inspired by @andycruns.bsky.social and @garfytop.bsky.social I have decided to make some terrain from scratch... Stage 1: planning... #nerdlings

Beserker from @weprintminiatures.com done. Painted with @thearmypainter.bsky.social Fanatics. Lovely mini, full of nostalgia for me. Feedback/critique always welcome #wepaintminis #minipainting #paintinminis #paintingminiatures #warhammercommunity

Change one letter, ruin a candy Sars

Seeing the final stretch on my beserker from @weprintminiatures.com painted with @thearmypainter.bsky.social paints. Touch ups and hafts to do before finishing the base... Critique welcome always #paintingminis #minipainting #wepaintminis #nerdlings #paintingminiatures

Something about this that I just think is ace...

More WIP on my dwarf from @weprintminiatures.com painted with paints/brushes by @thearmypainter.bsky.social blue and leather done, skin started in some areas. Critique welcome #minipainting #paintingminis #paintingminiatures #wepaintminis

Got a feeling of deja vu with this... WIP of a slightly larger scale Slayer type from @weprintminiatures.com who very kindly sent me one. I better not mess up the eyes again. Painted with @thearmypainter.bsky.social paints/brushes. Feedback welcome #paintingminis #wepaintminis #minipainting

Question... How can I prime minis in the cooler months? I don't have an airbrush, I don't enjoy brush priming yet I don't want to have a lull when I am getting into painting more often... Help?! #nerdlings #paintingminis

Crisp and clean... I am always on awe of anyone who can nail NMM too... Bravo sir

Love this

Side by side of my Ogres by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social . Both painted using @thearmypainter.bsky.social paints, the left using Fanatics and the right using Speedpaints. Would love to know what people like most so RT, RS, RP would be appreciated #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting

Ogre from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social finished. Lovely project painted using Speedpaints and brushes by @thearmypainter.bsky.social . Critique always welcome #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting

Aside from tidying up the rim of the base, my Necromancer by @weprintminiatures.com is done. Painted with Speedpaint and brushes from @thearmypainter.bsky.social . Critique welcome always #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting

About done on my @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social ogre painted with Speedpaint from @thearmypainter.bsky.social . Been a really fun project and have learned a lot... When fully based will compare with my more traditional paint job. Critique welcome #paintingminiatures #wepaintminis #minipainting

So crisp and clean... Bravo

First bit of painting after returning to work. Another ogre by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social painted with Speedpaint and brushes from @thearmypainter.bsky.social . I genuinely spent more time choosing my colours than applying them. Hope my son likes it... #minipainting #paintingminis #wepaintminis

music.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Uv... If I had remembered this was such a brilliant tune I would possibly have suggested it as my first dance at my wedding...

Hate to get political but... Given the events in America, why do thousands seem to believe that a man who was racist, homophobic, transphobic and mysogynistic was a) a role model and b) worthy of anything but revulsion

Wondering if anyone can help me? I am looking at getting a vortex mixer but have been bitten before with one that worked for roughly 5 minutes... Any recommendations? #nerdlings #paintingminiatures #minipainting

I've already got the leader and now i've got the first part of the GCPS team. Not the best paint job I've ever made. jeux-geekeries.tumblr.com/post/7944128... #speedpaint #miniaturepainting #armypainter #thearmypainter #deadzone #deadzoneislife #mantic #manticgames

Question... Do resin printed minis need cleaning in soapy water before painting? I have been gifted some Myth Forged minis and don't know whether I should or if I would be wasting my time... #wepaintminis #paintingminis #paintingminiatures

Got in my own head that the lantern didnt look... lanterny enough. So did a quick do-over C&C welcome #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar

Does anyone have any Tau that they want to sell? I have had an idea for a colour scheme but I want to try it out before committing to a major purchase... #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #paintingminiatures

I should practice this ... failure of NMM more ... #miniPainting

Decided to have a change from 30k marines to ... 40k marines. Still doing really stupid detail like check and stripped whenever I can. This classic sculpt is so much fun. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Ultramarines

This Wraith is giving you a sultry look. Just look at its expression! All smiles. 💀💀💀 #oldworld #warhammer #tow #undead #gamesworkshop #wfb #painting #minipainting #paintingminis #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings #vampirecounts

My son told me that I "am the best at painting", which melted my heart... It also made me think about who my inspirations are... I could say the Eavy Metal team or any number of painters but in truth I am probably only painting today because of @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social ...

Actually rather proud of this. First Marine for my Void Heralds - Brother Iacton, Void Heralds 4th Company, No Squad Designation - assigned to Angels of Death Kill Team Anaximandros. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #warhammer40k

So... I think I love Speedpaints from @thearmypainter.bsky.social ... I would happily put this on a tabletop. Mini by @weprintminiatures.com #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting

Well... I bought all the Speedpaints by @thearmypainter.bsky.social but never really used them. 30 minutes work... I think I might be a little flabbergasted. Mini by @weprintminiatures.com #wepaintminis #paintingminatures #minipainting

It only took having a three year old son to get my minis displayed in the house...

Such a wonderful idea! Im going to have to get some more minis painted up hehe. In the meantime heres my trans witch from frostgrave! Big love ❤️ #PrideonParade #minipainting #frostgrave

Please help support my TINY business and either purchase something from my shop (stickers are only £3) or please share this so I can reach new customers. Thank you! www.infinitebacon.com

Old World Banshee. My, such big hands you have! #warhammer #wfb #oldworld #tow #painting #minipainting #paintingminis #gamesworkshop #warhammercommunity #undead #vampirecounts #nerdlings

@jewelknightjess.com I found these... Are they what you were after?

Just realised just how much of an "impact" a repost has on here... My two most liked posts have both been reposted by very influential and respected hobbyists (thanks @cerberusxt.bsky.social and @jewelknightjess.com ) #nerdlings #paintingminiatures #minipainting

Started something completely different... Mini by @northstarfigs.bsky.social paints/brushes by @thearmypainter.bsky.social and colour inspiration stolen from @cerberusxt.bsky.social #paintingminiatures #wepaintminis #minipainting

Ogre done! Fantastic to paint and has now taken his place in my son's room (my little boy requested it). Mini by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social and paints/brushes by @thearmypainter.bsky.social feedback/critique welcome #wepaintminis #minipainting #paintingminiatures #paintingminis

Apart from basing, calling my ogre from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social done. Really enjoyable mini to paint. Paints/brushes from @thearmypainter.bsky.social feedback/critique welcome #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting

Wood and leather finished... Tried to go for an old leather finish but not sure it worked- first time I have tried it so mustn't grumble. Mini by @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social and paints/brushes by @thearmypainter.bsky.social #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures #minipainting
