Often, for undaunted courage, fate spares the man it has not already marked. (Just as often it casts his sword hand separately). Our fantastic new Beowulf model by Paul Muller - hopefully in the shop this weekend!

WIP in my head he's belting out "WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WART-HOOOOOOOG" No I will not/can't explain

Okay, scenery building (caves, in this case, but applicable to all manner of foam builds) using readily available DIY materials? A 🧵

Meridian miniatures Necropolis Priests. Finished and after some faff photographed to an ok standard. For some reason my camera phone really not doing it detail and crispness wise.

thread of how to scratchbuild a cave? okay then. 1) leftover Styrofoam packing, roughly cut to shape and size, separated into several interlocking pieces as it needs to fit inside our existing display cases. purple worm for scale!

Final griming step on the priests and then done. Bar working out what to do with their bases.

So that's the two tumbling dice starter fleet packs done. Might need some infills/extras

Making things is cool. And it’s quite surprising what you can make. Some Maskwitches art made out of things and stuff. Find out more handiwork.games/home/the-sil... The behind the scenes archive: making-maskwitches.ghost.io/page/2/

Further faffing on the order of the most Holy Bones

Plinking away at the Necropolis Priests. Highlighting varying shades of black (without getting grey) is ... challenging

As any military strategist knows, port cities are always particularly vulnerable to amphibian assault.

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

"hooolllyy boooonnnnnesssss...*bonk*" More WIPs - meridian miniatures Necropolis Priests.

Fleet grows. More non Romans needed now

#FindsFriday Depictions of Gaulish mercenaries from Ptolemaic Egypt, 220-180 BCE, 📷 British Museum, London #Archaeology #History #Artwork

Filthy pike on pike action in a trial game of MeG this afternoon. Early Seleucids Vs ... Seleucids. A bit rusty but a 8-0 win for me when we called time. Mostly due to the dice going my way more than might be statistically or fairly expected. #mortemetgloriam #nerdlings

*suspiciously undead noises* 😂

Experimenting with a smaller 60mm frontage and basing for the ancient rowie/ram-ie boat game for possible Strength&Honour naval supplement/hail Agrippa game. Photographing 1/2500 boats is hard. Experimenting with @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdrop to give them a bit of context

WIPs Sooooo...Homer's "wine dark sea"...AK's "medium blue" kind of territory?

Beaky bobby from moonstone done. Bar his base. I've no idea currently.

Doug the Flatulent WIP from moonstone. I think looking up what colour pugs actually are would have spoiled the fun. I'm trying out caffeinated miniatures scratchy impressionistic painting style for this game's minis

THIS BOOKSHOP IS OPEN UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND SELLS COCKTAILS. EVERYONE CONVERGE ON PALERMO NOW. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

"...are you our mummy?" Thralls of the necromancer by @meridianminiatures.bsky.social finished. Possible NPCs or even a warband/gathering for forbidden psalm/necropolis28

fancy a fearsome fireplace? fenrisgames.com/shop#!/FGARC...

AND WE'RE LIVE www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

As this project is pretty much done I thought I'd take a quick photo against their wee Bosch backdrop for posterity. Maybe I'll take the time to set up/edit some "proper" photographs later. It's been a lot of fun painting these @meridianminiatures.bsky.social sculpts.

*satanic noot-nooting intensifies* More Bosch WIPs - @meridianminiatures.bsky.social minis

More progress on the @meridianminiatures.bsky.social Bosch wave 1. Butterfly...fish...fellow...I just don't have time or aptitude for perfect blends, it's a lot of fun doing something inspired by the paintings

Super violent scene of elf slaughter for Phil, who hates elves and liked Teutonic knight back in his DBA days

New game in the post day. Looking forward to painting up assorted Goobs contained therein.

The PDF of "In the land of the sundering flood" - a miniature adventure game inspired by the writings of William Morris, has gone out to KS backers and is now avaliable to download on wargames vault. So if you fancy some hand drawn, arts and crafts inspired properly oldschool fantasy, this is it!

"here we are then...all the lads..." Further progress on the meridian miniatures Bosch minis - tree head man and moth/salmon/narwhal...person. Off to take part in an archery tourney in hell or something. I'm having a lot of fun painting these freaks though Bosch's palette is challenging

Another Meridian miniatures Hieronymus Bosch freak pretty much done bar the basing. Base coat/wash and glazed etc to finish. Maybe some final recess washes however this guy's so pale maybe not? Interesting colours Bosch used on his fish butterfly narwhal dude

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

This is buddy. This week he had to spend the nights at the vets costing us hundreds of pounds. To help him pay for his Newfound medical debt, I've added a discount to the mammoth miniatures webstore. Use BUDDY to get 10% off on mammoth stuff (that's everything except the stuff by other sculptors)

Those of you who've followed me for a while know I generally only run a sale for an unplanned expense, not for regular bills like workshop rent or materials. So here's a 20% discount to help me pay for an unexpected emergency vet bill for Fenris co-pilot Oz. Use code OZVET20 at checkout. Thankyou.

Went to a 500 point The Old World event run by @sixdiceskills.bsky.social at Nottingham's TsN Arena and had a great time. Lovely people, great looking tables. Got a prize for painting and hobbying and stuff for my Pointy Bois too. Ded chuffed.

I knew I'd find a use for you, Colonel Henri

Why do they call them Lore Fans and not The Lore-dience.

WIP mounted pointy boi - Ellyrian Reavers for The Old World (or other fantasy mass battle games). can someone remind me of the time it takes to strip and re prime minis (and quite how unpleasant/frustrating that is as a process) if they see me tempted by pre painted eBay rescues in future?

Finally finishing @meridianminiatures.bsky.social’s Bosch series so I can justify buying the second one when it drops! Here’s my fav little goomba. #miniatures #minipainting #art #bosch

More basing up of strength&honour stuff using irregular 2mm scale minis - a basis for a Macedonian/Hellenistic pike army or two done

Check out a new project we have worked on for Old World thehonestwargamer.com/warhammer-th...

"I do not want art for a few, any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few." - William Morris

Some test bases of 2mm irregular miniatures republican Romans for Strength & Honour - @hyvemynd.bsky.social seemed to be having too much fun with them for DBA - following @wisewolfpainting.bsky.social 's lead and going 60x30mm bases to fit on my dining table

Kurt Vonnegut man

Watching the US right now is like watching someone try to play a Paradox game for the first time.

Trying out the John Blanche paint sets inspiring me to get paint on a previously set aside Mordheim Tilean warband. A non scientific variety of vaguely early renaissance Italian city state looks planned as a basis
