Properly surprised to find these in a 30+ year old box of assorted junk earlier, along with my deodorant tank... Blister is still sealed, so they're probably the most valuable minis I own. Going to have to open it though!

Last batch is going slowly, but I need to get one of them and this guy ready for Friday. The right arm was a pain to strip, I'm not sure what paint had been used on it but it had been there since 1988...

Back onto marines - heavier weapons this time. My plastic marines have had a rough life, with various bubbles from plastic cement and the odd lump carved out either by me or the old school friend that I bought them from many years ago. Hoping to get these complete by the end of the month... 😬

So this guy needs to be table-ready by Friday, and I'm modifying both arms... #Oldhammer

Next mini project. These three space dwarfs (two #Oldhammer Citadel and one from @diehardminiatures.bsky.social ), plus three others that needed a second go in the stripping jar, need to be finished by the end of Oct.

I'm very pleased with how she's turned out, but getting this mounted thug finished has been a complete slog, and blew through my 31 August goal. Lovely minis but fiddly and multi-part. Plus the first horse I've painted since my very early days, before the idea of photo references occurred to me!

In an effort to keep myself focused / honest, here's my painting target for the rest of August: - Shields and final details for 6 vikings - Finish 4 "nearly" complete Crimson Fist beakies - 2 mounted ravengers from @diehardminiatures.bsky.social

One of my other highlights of BOYL was seeing the recreation of the WFB table from the 3rd Ed rulebook (clearly a labour of love)

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man! www.badsquiddogames.com

Just finished this Champion of Nurgle designed by Jes Godwin in the late 80s. The shield was sculpted from scratch. Final pics soon. #warhammer #warhammercommunit #oldhammer #paintingwarhammer

Not sure that Sandor from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social likes being confined to a 20mm base. Used my rudimentary Green Stuff skills to add a tunic hem as I needed to norse him up a bit. Basically need to get him and his mates painted this weekend... 😮

I built this kit from BMT miniatures. It’s based on an illustration from the original Rogue Trader book. I have to have ALL the tanks for my guard! I green stuffed in the gaps, now it just needs paint. Anyone know what this tank is called? I can’t find any information other than the illustration.

I need to bulk up my Throng to 2500 points for the end of the month. After getting blasted aptly by a Hellblaster in the last campaign game I thought I’d return the compliment in the follow up one! One old school (best school for Dwarves) Organ Gun done! #theOldWorld #nerdlings #warhammer #wargaming

A nasty case of lead rot on one of my favourite beastmen. I'm not quite sure what to do and whether he'll recover. Paint strip (Dettol) carefully, then oven cleaner to neutralise, then all-over undercoat (including slotta tab) and see...? Maybe a question for @delaneyking.bsky.social #Oldhammer

A great game of #Oldhammer in Exeter yesterday. My chaos force and skaven facing off against a force of dwarves. The goal was to control the middle of the field, with a ruined tower and church splitting the table into clear thirds. Despite a last minute painting splurge my choices were limited.

It's worth tidying sometimes. Box of bubble wrap had not only the orc standard bearer I was pretty sure was in there, but also the troll I was missing, the minotaur I could have done with finding a few weeks ago, ...

I followed @mogsymakes.bsky.social tutorial on multibases for magnetized single miniatures and he released me from a 20 years curse of decision making. Looks so good. Thank you!!

Been awhile since I posted some of my minis. Here is one I finished recently for the Oldendemon competition on insta. God painting black is hard 🤣. #oldhammer #bloodangels #oldendemon #warhammer40k

I'm making a scratch-built house in-between projects and I'll be incorporating the Blacksmith forge set I bought from Iron Gate Scenery a couple of UKGEs ago - build thread incoming over the course of the next couple of weeks 🙂 1/ #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wargaming #wepaintminis

The second piece I did for the High Elves book for Warhammer Fantasy Rpg: High Elf Traders. Cubicle 7 Entertainment © Games Workshop 2024 Acrylics on 300g brisotl paper with some digital tweaking. NFS. #warhammer #fantasy #rpg #highelves #trader #elf #port #city #tilea

Can I recommend the art of sponge painting? It's quick, looks good and does a great job of hiding the layer lines. I did a post over on dakkadakka about how I did some on my ruins. www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/p...

Finished sculpting some big hand horror demons! #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer #miniatures #tabletop #greenstuff #morkborg #aos #Wargaming #whfb #realmofchaos #fantasy #grimdark #oldworld #chaos #citadel #ageofsigmar #wfb #tzeentch #horrors #demons

New stuff (but small)! I’ve always wanted to do an eyes shield, and finally decided to give it a go. I should probably have left the eyelashes off though! A lot of effort for what will only be seen from the back of the miniature!

This is Brian. He likes beer and pies. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintSlam25 #nerdlings #oldhammer #roguetrader

These guys are getting pretty close to being finished (although I'm probably not allowing for how long the missile launcher guy will take). But...

Work has been pretty overwhelming for the last couple of months but I finally got some hobby time! Decent progress on these beakies, highlights and details next... #oldhammer #warhammer40k

Watch me sculpt a complete Goblin chieftain from scratch: youtu.be/iWf8P0vjUiY?...

Day 2 sharing teaser #HistoryPix for "Inventing the Renaissance" (out in one month!). Often in Florence one sees buildings like this, where one section is rough stone standing out amid stucco neighbors. It's actually a remnant of the old Guelph-Ghibelline feuds that so long rocked Medieval Italy 1/?

So it looks like my plan for the start of the year is - 1) Finish up the Crimson Fist squad that I'm working on 2) Chaos sorcerer that I've wanted to paint for ages 3) 4 points of Saga vikings, properly based, shields, etc. 4) Something something Praag, something something Mordheim for BOYL

I think fittingly I'll toss up my Mountain King as a first post here. This is one of the figures I'm most proud of. #miniatures #painting #wargaming

By John Peake’s reckoning today is the 50th anniversary of Games Workshop! It was founded in London on Tuesday 7th January 1975. From 3 friends making wooden games to a FTSE100 firm with £4.4bn. Its an incredible story and this year I aim to explore as much of it as I can. #WarhammerCommunity

As part of our January Great MLG Brush Off discord challenge Mrs MLG painted this Games Workshop Demon from the 80s #warhammer #flgs #GamesWorkshop #paintingwarhammer

A year's worth of painting. When I started out in October I hoped to get all of these finished in the year but it wasn't to be. Still, it's infinitely more than I painted the year before...! #warhammer40k #nerdlings

I should say for those interested that this has been the solution I’ve settled on for enjoying playing 40K: www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/p... We’ve genuinely gone for a blend of these basic rules with the 5th edition Battle Missions scenario book which gives a nice variety

The Road to Power (models by Satyr Studio) Art by Tony Ackland #oldhammer

Fine, so normal powered armour is 6 points, space marine powered armour costs 14 points (equivalent to 4 suspensors, negating the heaviest of the heavy weapons). Me, still surprised how annoying this GM NPC stuff is 37 years later. 🫤 The psychology stuff they can have for free 😄

HERE HE IS!! One of Warhammer’s rarest minis and maybe the best and coolest thing I've ever painted Submachine Gun Wizard is a total icon & I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to paint him up in my style And I think he turned out pretty rad too 🥹 #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer

Hello! I’m new to Bluesky! I’m hoping to connect with some fellow mini painters, wargamers and #oldhammer enthusiasts! Here’s a #spacemarine veteran sergeant I painted recently for my upcoming 2nd edition #warhammer40k game with @strawfoot next year. Thanks for looking!

I painted these guys a very long time ago, and recently found out that my brother had borrowed them... Need to work out how to strip enamel paint! @drporridge.bsky.social did you ever do your thread on that?

If you see this, post a magic user... #oldhammer #nerdlings

My first post here. I will be posting here updates of the different #oldhammer projects I record in my blog. I focus in #roguetrader and #warhammer 3th edition minis. Please find below link to it. guaridadenefario.blogspot.com Feel free to leave comment that helps me keeping this going. Thank you

Finished my next two marines. Early December is frantic in our house, I made the mistake of packing my painting stuff away! The blue is more purple this time, a much better match imo. Very pleased with how they came out, the photos are unforgiving but 15 year old me would be blown away #oldhammer

Light bulb moment. The famous last stand of the Crimson Fists - it never happened! As per @coopgames.bsky.social 's head canon (that the codexes aren't reality, they're regime propaganda), the last stand is the cover-up of the fact that they blew themselves up with their own defensive weapons

Finally got a chance to varnish these. Was itching to disregard the "allow 24 hrs to dry" then life took over. Trying a more purple blue for the next set, then hopefully decide on a scheme for the squad. I'm happy with how these turned out but the colour isn't quite "right" #oldhammer #Warhammer40k

Goblin Cieftain - I think from around 1983? Something really satisfying about painting his chonky wee hands … #warhammer #oldhammer #goblins #fantasy #roleplaying

Fairly pleased with how these are turning out. Was hoping to finish them in daylight today but real life intervened. Still need to do the gloves and guns, and reattached the backpack - a sturdier solution needed there. Then pluck up the courage to do the chapter badge! #WIP #oldhammer #Nerdlings

Making myself post a #WIP photo. They're at a pretty ugly stage at the moment but the arms are on! The backpacks are on! And in my defence the paint on the bolters is from around 1988. Struggling to find time to paint at the moment but hopefully will finish this weekend... #MiniaturePainting

This is still one of my favorite essays I've written! I should do more oldhammer stuff at some point, especially about Fantasy. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings
