Frog in progress. #Nerdlings #PaintingWarhammer #Slann

Rökthane Toothcutter Schiltron from @ontosgames.co.uk. Specifically, the Highlander special I picked up at Salute and have procrastinated on painting since buying it. I knew it should be tartan, but that's difficult, as you can see from the close-up! But I think it's effective. #Nerdlings #Roknauts

How It Started Vs How It's Going A story of two Nevilles. I wanted to paint a second Neville as a disheveled version of the first to show the journey of a poor, battered infantry. Even down to love and hate tattoos on his knuckles, and a battered backpack. This was a lot of fun. #Turnip28

Just over here being an idiot and doing tartan patterns on 28mm models. My face hurts from concentrating, I have no idea how people do detailed freehand regularly. I chose to blame @ontosgames.co.uk for this happening.

Neville from Turnip 28. Great sculpt, and a fun paint. Tried for a more harmonious palette and wanted to keep him clean and factory fresh, as I have a second one that will be done in a grittier fashion later. #Turnip28

Orktober isn't over yet. #Nerdlings #Oldhammer #Orktober #PaintingWarhammer

Just heard Mariah, lads. It's not even November.

Ork Nob. Heh. Nob . #Nerdlings #Oldhammer #Orktober #PaintingWarhammer

Just watched Gunpowder Milkshake. It's both deliberately very silly and very enjoyable.

Sir Gorgonz, from Ennenne Studio's Dungeons & Mice range. Picked it up at SMC after seeing it. A fun project, and they've sculpted such a cute little hero 😍

I should be painting orks, but this lovely mouse knight I picked up at SMC demands my attention this week.

Four hour workshop with the fabulous Fabrizio Russo at #SMC2025. Very good, very enjoyable. Learning a lot in only half a day! #HappyPainting

Vashkor Drool. Yes, it's another ork but this sculpt had a name! I started this model last year but he's finally finished after languishing on the WIP shelf for so long. #Nerdlings #Oldhammer #Orktober #PaintingWarhammer

It's Scale Model Challenge in Eindhoven next weekend. I'll be there on Saturday & Sunday with a couple of models in the Standard Fantasy class. If you're reasonably local, it's worth your time. Very well run show and HUGE too. I've been a few times and always enjoy it. www.scalemodelchallenge.com

Ork, ork, ork. Still thinking on basing schemes. It won't be a decision I make this month though! #Nerdlings #Oldhammer #Orktober #PaintingWarhammer

Belatedly starting #Orktober. I'm so behind, haven't even gotten my Orkmas Tree out the loft yet. #Nerdlings #Oldhammer

No, Sainsbury's. No. It's just too soon.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Hey you. Switch off loudspeaker on your phone, raise it gently to your ear and GIVE IT A FUCKING REST WITH THE LOUD CONVERSATION IN PUBLIC, YOU PRICK. Mobile phones are a blessing and a curse. I have no idea why dickheads talk into them like communicators from Star Trek but it needs to stop. Urgh.

I haven't painted anything in the last week. Have a picture of my cat by way of apology.

Never see Pat Butcher and Donald Trump in the same room, do you.

Tallgeese from the Gundam Assemble 28mm range. Fun. Think that's enough little robots for the time being, so something else required now. #Nerdlings #Gundam #GundamAssemble

Apropos of nothing, I've re-read Transmetropolitan this week.

Zaku from the Gundam Assemble 28mm range. Quick and fun to try something with pin washes and quick airbrushing. Then a rough NMM on the metallic areas. #Nerdlings #Gundam #GundamAssemble

Well. That escalated for a lunchtime. Guess that's a painting project for today, isn't it? #Nerdlings #Gundam #GundamAssemble

@blessedwithpace.bsky.social Saw this and thought of you. (later, you can decide why I thought of you)

Without saying Voltron, what's your favourite giant robot?

Quote with some femme fatale art. (older piece but unsure I ever shared it!)

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

Another five heroes for Zombicide Black Plague painted over the weekend. All speed paints, but hopefully effective at tabletop level. #Zombicide #Nerdlings

Kids used "large and in charge" earlier. I realised that the opposite would be "small and in thrall". Amused me, at least.

Not finished yet, but think I'm getting closer to the scheme I want for my Ultramarines. Suitably weathered, but a fun bit of colour. Test pieces always take the longest time to nail down, don't they? #Saturnine #Ultramarines #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

Alright. Still on the blogging and back from holiday, so time to start putting colour on these things once I pick a chapter! www.nerodine.com/2025/08/its-...

It is time. #Saturnine

The Mk II Centurion in the #Saturnine box is a beautiful miniature. But ... whoever designed the cloak and backpack fitting is clearly not happy with life, and this must be their resignation letter. Lord, that's one frustratingly fiddly construct.

Flower Queen II A sculpt from the talented Romain Van Den Bogart (www.instagram.com/romainvdb1) and the model I'm happiest to bring to Fen Model Show this weekend. There's a hundred things I could improve, and the judges will find every single one 🤣 but that's a problem for Future Dave to address.

Bluesky took a picture of my face and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. I understand value in ID verification, but when it's implemented as a "we'll take a picture of your face and estimate" then it's genuinely pointless.

Ultramarine Captain from the old Epic range. Good fun. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer

Painting this week. Wanted a little project to practice brush control on. Can't get littler. Still a lot of work to do though! #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WIP

Pretty brutal that we lost metal and plastic on the same day.

Painting nerds. Who else will be at Fen Model Show this coming weekend?

Friend of mine is selling off a bunch of his #oldhammer models he found in a clearout of his parents' loft. Mostly Imperial Guard at the moment but he's got a ton of other things he'll be selling. www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?i... Although not sure I know anyone who likes old Warhammer miniatures ...

Yeah sex is great, but ever had a parcel picked up one minute after you drop it off?

Had a pretty good run on the retro pulp 40K art front of late.

Started posting to my blog again, after a healthy 18 months (oof) without doing anything. If you, like me, love a tasty RSS feed with your morning coffee, do feel free to add me. www.nerodine.com There's punctuation, zero emojis, and I guarantee it will be 90% about painting models. #Nerdlings

I want to do a GW release flow chart where we have two options: "sold out" then "thanks, influencers, for stealing all the copies" under it, and; "not sold out" with "it's not selling, GW are failing" under it. (but it's hot, and I'm lazy and full of Doritos so won't make it)

Tour de France. It's mad how quick they are. They've cycled 40km quicker than I've been able to eat this massive bag of Doritos.

Painting workshop this weekend with Jamie (www.instagram.com/a.man.painti...) and pleased with a Sunday of painting after a Saturday of learning. #Nerdlings #HappyPainting

If you see this, QS an awesome theme tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKdM... (looks like we're going HARD on classic 80s shows and I'm okay with that)

I've just created the term "decibellend" to describe noisy, unlikeable people.
