Painting Advanced Heroquest Skaven is proper stress-free painting. They're simple basic models, perfect for contrast paints. Love it ♥️ (Pictures to follow soon hopefully) #miniaturepainting #oldhammer

Oh hell(enic) yes... ⚔️👍🏻

I've been meaning to get hold of this after @tabletopminions.bsky.social talked about it ages ago! Rulebook and expansion purchased and downloaded! #wargaming #NewRulesNewMe

Oil wash done on the dragon - Sap Green and Ivory Black on the red, Burnt Umber and Ivory Black on the wings. Starting to come together a bit now. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

I had a serious case of Sunday blues yesterday, so wandered off to Tom's Tabletop Bunker to buy myself something random, and this is what I came back with. I'm not sure what I'll do with either model, but at £14 it feels like a proper bargain 👍🏻 #miniaturepainting

Absolutely this. I know it was a different time, but I studied Archaeology and since graduating I've had a (relatively) successful 27 year career in financial IT. University teaches you so much more than just your subject. If I'd studied computing or engineering I might not have lasted the course 😬

Day off, Autumn sunshine, the village is really quiet, I'm pottering in the garden - with everything going on in the world, sometimes it's easy to forget life can be really good 🙂

With just paint, can I turn this crappy weird-ass toy into a decent looking alien monster? He'll fit on a 60mm base. I'm thinking black still, with red spines? #miniaturepainting

youtube.com/watch?v=CDs2... - make art!

youtube.com/watch?v=2n8W... Love this guy's videos. Tip number 10 (constraint challenge) is really good if I'm in a "creative rut", e.g. using the Zorn Palette when painting miniatures, or when I built a fantasy building out of nothing but rubbish. #creativeinspiration #miniaturepainting

Yep...

Playing Nemesis Retaliation tonight, I'm the officer! 😎 #boardgames

Elf! From Black Scorpion Miniatures - tried to go a bit arty, not sure it worked... #miniaturepainting #autumnalelf

Barbarians! The middle guy is from Reaper, I've had him years and due a repaint, now I'm tempted to do a barbarian horde army for Saga Age of Magic... ...or Dragon Rampart? #miniaturepainting #saga

Infinity Monstrucker, loved doing this one! #infinityn5 #infinitypainting #infinitygame #corvusbelli #minipainting #paintingminis

Quote with some femme fatale art.

Empire stuff for my slow build Saga: Age of Magic army. Not a fan of the blue on Knights Panther, so went for the classic John Blanche artwork colour scheme. The other knight is a Raging Heroes model from years ago that I've finally painted, plus a Marauder Dwarf. #sagaageofmagic #miniaturepainting

Future projects... #miniaturewargaming

Krittok Foulblade - I wasn't a massive fan of the red armour in the studio paintjob, so went grungy metal instead. He's not perfect, but he'll be fine as the leader for my Skaven army for Saga: Age of Magic (yet another new army idea... 🤨) #miniaturepainting #skaven

steamforged.com/blogs/brands... I've not liked much of the new Warmachine stuff, but these two forces are really nice 😍 I want to paint both!

British household rules: you have a cupboard with upward of thirty mugs in it, only three of those can hold exactly the right amount of tea. When those are not available you will drink from the Lesser Mugs, but it will not be as good.

I don't often buy on a whim, but I thought this bad boy looked cool to paint 👍🏻 #miniaturepainting

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Errrrrrrrr...

I got to meet Ossie Ardiles! 😮 World cup winner, Swindon Town legend - he's hilarious to listen to, and he and Micky Hazard make an awesome double act 😁 #SwindonTownFC

Uh oh, looks like my tooth might not be Band 2 Treatment, £84 at my dentist, but Band 3 (Crowns, bridges etc) which is £326. Seeing a dentist tomorrow night but meantime I'll extend the BLUESKY30 offer on Etsy and the main shop because £326...😱 heresyminiatures.com/shop heresyminiatures.etsy.com

Awesome models, buy them!

Found this in a charity shop for 99p, I've got some twin linked las-cannons and other greeblies I'm going to use to convert it into a mobile gun platform. Paw Patrol FTW! 🐶🤣 #miniaturewargaming

Ogres! For my "Empire" Saga army. Middle guy a complete repaint, the other two were touch ups on a more drab scheme, getting yellow, leather and skin to match, so they look cohesive(ish) #sagaageofmagic #oldhammer #miniaturepainting

WIP Imperial Ogre, from Marauder, painted in Averland state colours, I've owned this model for 30+ years, and never fully painted it. Saga has given him a purpose 😃 #miniaturepainting #oldhammer #sagaageofmagic

I think this definitely applies to miniature painting too. Even contrast paints (and similar) - they are kind of a shortcut, but even then you need to practice a lot with them before they are properly effective. Just paint, and keep painting 👍🏻

Rant incoming... I'm fed up with the way tech looks and feels these days. Alexa devices are boring, my printer is a white misshapen lump of plastic, and my monitor looks like a cheap picture frame. 1/4

Sun is shining, office doors wide open, 5 Live on the radio, cup of tea (well away from brush water cup), paintbrush in hand, miniatures for Saga ready - perfect Saturday afternoon 🌞📻⚽☕🖌️😎 #miniaturepainting

Is it just me, or are mechanical keyboards in an open plan office really annoying? (I know it's not hobby content, but I need to vent)

For Wilts/Glos (UK) based people, Tom's Tabletop Bunker, a little indie gaming store, has recently opened up in the Garden Centre just off J16 on the M4. So ace to have somewhere 5 minutes from me 🙂 www.tomsbunker.com #wargamingstore

This week I completed WH40K Rogue Trader on the XBox, the first proper game I've played in 6 years. I loved it, story ace, combat fun, just felt 40K all the way through. I am very sad it's over, I want more, and a couple of 15 hour DLCs (one not even released yet) isn't enough. I am bereft. 😞

Slightly easing the FOMO from missing Salute yesterday, new rulebooks have arrived! 😎 #newrulesnewarmy #miniaturewargaming #nerdlings

A while back I decided I'm not going to Salute this year. Current me is very grumpy with past me for making that stupid decision. 😖 Have fun there today everyone, I will be there next year! #wargamingcommunity #miniaturepainting #Salute2025 #Salute2026
