Battle-brother Saharok, 'Ancestor's Favoured', the most recent completion for my First Nations-inspired Adeptus Astartes Chapter, the Sons of the Condor. #warhammer #painting #nerdlings #hobby #40k #spacemarine2

Finally time for a return from the Condors! Three Bleeding Spear, the shaman leading II Company's remnants, is done. I am about 85% happy with him - I tried a few new techniques, some worked, some could be better. However, he'll do for gaming for now. Thoughts? #warhammer #nerdlings #hobby #40k

Painting something completely new - Eldar! Have had these old Guardian minis for over 20 (maybe 25...) years and figured with the renewed interest in 40k they deserved a paintjob...why not? #warhammer #40k #eldar #nerdlings

Working on something a little special for the last Tactical Marine in Thunder Cadre. I wanted this guy to feel like a raw Tactical who's just seen the II Company banner lying in the dirt (yes, like that scene from Space Marine 2) and has picked it up, ready to dish out righteous vengeance(TM).

A kitbash of various Victrix and Frostgrave kits (spot 'em!) to make a knight-captain for the Black Order. Kitbashing historicals kits these days is so much fun. Forgeworld-level detail in plastic never ceases to amaze. #nerdlings #warhammer #frostgrave #miniature

Something of a first for me: sculpting feathers. Very time intensive but enjoying the journey. Any suggestions for improvement welcome!

Experimenting with an Apothecary build for the Condors. Lots of very (very) old parts being given new life.

WIP Master of the Forge. I can't decide whether he needs another servo-arm on the (viewer) left side, to balance out the flamer arm. Thoughts, folks?

Bringing heavy bolter Devastators into the new era. I liked the new Eradicator minis, but IMO a missed opportunity to give them the classic backpack with extra ammunition drums. #nerdlings #warhammer #40k

And now for something completely different (well, not really). Working on a narrative Kill Team battle report for a game we played earlier in the week: Adeptus Astartes trying to recover data logs from an astropathic relay in deep space that's gone suspiciously silent. #warhammer #battlereport

Finished off some Tyranid Warrior rescues from eBay! Ancient sculpts, but still have a lot of charm. Anyone think these will get redesigns in the nearish future?

Lizzy the Lictor - *cough* I mean, The Doom of the Third Company all done! #tyranids #40k #warhammer #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #warhammer40k

Zoey here is the first model I've purchased from GW in a long, LONG time. Gotta say... I'm impressed! Detail and quality has come on leaps and bounds. Especially since the glory days of the 3rd edition metal Zoeys. #nerdlings #40k #warhammer #gamesworkshop #tyranids

Something a bit more unusual for me, but as soon as I saw this little guy from @westfaliaminis.bsky.social I knew I had to do something with him #minipainting #tinybonepope

An experiment in staged photography. Really enjoyed this little diorama. #fantasy #minipainting #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #diorama #warhammer

A really fun completion from a few years ago - a war wagon for the Black Order. I ran this under the Eastern Princes faction list in SAGA Age of Crusades. Did me really proud over the years! #saga #sagathegame #wargaming #warhammer #theoldworld #nerdlings #miniaturepainting

Finishing off some terrain for Kill Team and Grimdark Future today. #nerdlings #killteam #onepagerules #warhammer #warhammer40k

Little bit of terrain work for the Black Order. Got a full 4x4 board in this style I'll share soon. Really enjoy snow terrain, something supremely satisfying and relaxing about it. #nerdlings #warhammer #wargamesterrain #paintingminiatures #miniatures

Something completely different! UNS Ares, fresh from deployment and ready to kick some duster behinds. I'm making a fleet using Martian Models' ship range to conduct naval actions next to my #BLKOUT escapades. Niche, but so rewarding. #nerdlings #warhammer #theexpanse #scifi #spaceship

even more cultists: >Both clerics from Citadel “1503 Clerics” (Collector Series, late 80s).One was broken ages ago so has a partial weapon replacement >Foundry armed peasant #oldhammer #miniaturepainting #warhammer #oldworld #paintingwarhammer #fantasy

Revisiting some old friends... and thinking about the new Midgard campaign expansion. Been a while since the rank and flank bug bit! Anyone else jumping back into Midgard? #nerdlings #midgard #wargaming #miniaturepainting #hobby

Hive Fleet Apotamkin grows! #nerdlings #warhammer #tyranids #miniatures #paintingwarhammer

Here's how my new castellan lines up against a few of my other Black Templar characters

An early test for Hive Fleet Apotamkin, my homebrew Tyranid force currently terrorising the Attilan Gate. #nerdlings #warhammer #tyranids #miniatures #paintingwarhammer

And that's the Assault Squad done! Hawk Cadre was a lot of fun to paint :) #wargaming #warhammer #nerdlings #hobby #40k #miniaturepainting

Last of Hawk Cadre takes to the field... Full squad photo to follow! #wargaming #warhammer #nerdlings #hobby #40k #miniaturepainting

The fourth assault marine in Hawk Cadre nears completion; just the sergeant left to do. This time, a slightly risky experiment in gore effects inspired by Space Marine II's gameplay. #wargaming #warhammer #nerdlings #hobby #40k

More assault marines for the Condors - having a lot of fun with this squad! #warhammer #40k #spacemarine #hobby #wargaming

Another homebrew Astartes; battle-brother Amik joins the fray. #warhammer #40k #spacemarine #astartes #minipainting #paintingminiatures #hobby

Happy Friday, all. Sharing some of the homebrew Astartes I started putting together last year in the aftermath of the titular Astartes II trailer. Native American-inspired (specifically Anishinaabe) derived from XIII Legion genestock. #warhammer #astartes #spacemarine #40k #miniaturepainting

For a little bit of variety, here's something from one of my larger hobby projects: the first in a series of barrows and tombs inspired by The Elder Scrolls Skyrim. Was quite pleased with how the cobwebs came out! What do you think? #skyrim #miniaturepainting #wargames #paintingminiatures #hobby

A great afternoon and a couple of very enjoyable #Frostgrave games using the Living Museum scenario! #Wargaming #MiniaturePainting #Nerdlings #BristolIndependentGaming

It's Friday! Here's something fun for an upcoming 10mm sci-fi project I'm working on... (definitely Titanfall inspired) #titanfall #wargaming #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures #warhammer #tabletop

So...What's this Bsky thing all about then? Kicking off what I hope will be a fun new wargaming blog with some knights of the Black Order in my custom Ne Cede Malis setting. #wargaming #miniatures #wargames #gaming #miniaturepainting
