Testing out a color variation for the Deathleaper, since it's supposed to be an Epic Hero and all... #tyranids #warhammer40k

Share 4 years of your art! 2023-2024-2025-2026 From stumbling through bootleg 3d prints for "practice", to the GW beginner paints set, to the full 40k/KillTeam rabbit hole (and army building)... #nerdlings #paintingminis #miniatures

After literally weeks jumping from one model to another (trying to be "efficient"), it's nice to finally stuff off the desk... ...so i can repeat it over and over again. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Some more brain bugs for the army. #tyranids #devl

After the glowy bits, some hair and makeup... #tyramids #warhammer40k

Working on the glowy bits... #warhammer40k #tyranids

WIP. Testing fitting. First time attempting a little bit of base dressing. #warhammer40k #tyranids

1st batch of #genestealercults characters done. Only 4,823 more models to go before i have a functioning army. #warhammer40k

Progress on the Purple People Eaters #tyranids #warhammer40k

Calling it on the Benefictus. Needed to finish *something* and move on. #warhammer40k #genestealercults

Finally back in production. After all the greeblies, needed to rethink the toolbox a little for the bigger beasties. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Feels like forever since i picked up a brush. Back on the saddle... these fabulous freaks aint gonna paint themselves. #warhammer40k #genestealercults

Finally done with my Raveners #killteam. Solo pics below. #warhammer40k

One more specialist for the #killteam #warhammer40k #tyrannids

I should have beeen in bed hours ago, but i needed to finish... *something* today. (Technically not totally finished. Bases still need a little work) 2 down, 3 to go. #killteam #warhammer40k

Someday i will finish this #killteam. Alas, today is not that day. But I'm pretty pleased at giw the poison sacs turned out, so there's that. (...the neurolictor is there because he wanted to hang out with the gang) #warhammer40k

The year in hobbying. From "random minis that would be cool paint projects" to #killteam to the inevitable downward spiral of starting a #warhammer40k army. And discovering my affinity for space bugs. Happy New Year, everyone! See you on the other side.

Trying to squeak in some more bugs before the end of the year. Adapted (oops, pun) the Raveners' color scheme so that I can use them in #killteam and the eventual day i actually learn to play #warhammer40k. Lictor is still a ways off, but I'm so digging it as a beastie. #tyranids

Finally summoned the will to finish the Hive Tyrant. Not entirely satisfied with the result - felt like the brush, paint, and skill were fightinf me all the way. But he's done. Time to move on to the next bajillion dozen greeblies. Merry Nidmas everyone! #warhammer40k #tyranids

Since i accidentally found myself building another army, i thought I'd try to tie it in visually to my currently-in-progress #tyranids Testing out a basic color scheme for the GSC, before fully deploying. #warhammer40k

#killteam: game day. My champ had a rough, rough day against kasrkin.

#killteam game day. My Stinkiboiz taking on the new Stealth Suits in Tombworld. Grandfather Nurgle was *very* generous with the dice rolls. (Green dice are the Victory Point calculations for Stinkiboiz. Blue dice are the stealthsuits)

It took a while, but my semi-permanent airbrush booth is finally up and operational. So... priming. Lots of priming. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Wasn't quite feeling the paint... so this weekend was for building. ...and there was much building done. #warhammer40k

Calling a wrap on the #psychophage. I think one of the more important skills to learn is knowing when to stop and move on. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Wasnt in the mood to highlight rhe gribblies, so i focused on one of rhe big bois and tested some new brushes. #warhammer40k #tyranids

3rd attempt at painting the necormancer. For better or worse, it's a skill issue. And now the #zombiecideblackplague box is done.

Finally put this guy to bed. That properly closes out Batch #2. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Short break from the grimdarkness of the 41st millenia, to finish up the #zombiecideblackplague set for my cousin. I really like how this one turned out.

There are so manu lovely tyrannid color schemes out there, but I'll always be partial to leviathan's purpleness. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Getting some shading on the bigbois. #warhammer40k #tyrannids

While waiting for a typhoon to pass, and before the power goes out... time to paint, I guess. 'Nother batch of bugs. Now the big boiz have entered the production cycle. #warhammer40k #tyranids

Another batch of bugs pretty much done (ah crap, forgot about the wings) #warhammer40k #tyranids

Getting some shading in. (Wings need.a little more work...) #warhammer40k #tyranids

I seem to have stumbled onto Hive Fleet: Joker by accident. But the color scheme is growing on me. Now for shading an shenanigans. #warhammer40k #tyranids

"Come on Barbie let's go party..." Finished the unit of Barbgaunts (but for the bases)... and settles on a recipe/process for the rest of the combat patrol. I may even play the game at some point... #warhammer40k

Terrain WIP. #killteam #warhammer40k

...and then there was Terrain. (Spongeing is a ton of fun, I have to admit) #warhammer40k #killteam

Goofing off a little after a bit of bug building. Massive crossover potential, is all Im saying. Call me, GW (or AMG) (I suppose now I need to recreate this pic after everything painted up) #warhammer40k #marvelcrisisprotocol

Finally popped my #killteam cherry, thanks to the fine folks from Kill Team Manila. It was only half a game, but there dramatic saves, brutal combat, and learning what it feels like when the dice gods favor the other guy.

Particularly pleased with hownthese turned. One more pass with the black should do it. (Inspired by @son-of-russ.bsky.social ) #marvelcrisisprotocol

Can't remember the last time i had so much uninterrupted work bench time. Starting to go all in on the terrain. #marvelcrisisprotocol

Ah, dammit. (Been a while since i made such a bonehead newbie error) #marvelcrisisprotocol

Starting to put these mini's to bed. Particularly pleased with how the contrast paint experiment worked out on the red bits. (And blue energy effect was a happy accident, with blue wash) #marvelcrisisprotocol

Tonight was all about reds & blues. (And maybe a little gold) So tempted to leave these three as they sit. But the temptation to fumble thru MOAR highlighting is too great. ...that's tomorrow's problem. #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting

Fumbling my way through blast effects... #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting

First Pass, Part 4: The Carols (Figuring out the blast effects is equal parts exciting and terrifying) #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting

First Pass, Part 3: the Widow, the Spider, the Captain, and... the Man? (Experimented a little with contrast paint over metallics... it's an ongoing adventure) #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting

First Pass, part 2: Bucky, Bones, and Ock. (Man, that yellow piping was a pain...) #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting

First pass, part 1: Ultron, Zemo, and the Red Skull. Before shading, attempted fx, experimentation, and general painting shenanigans. #marvelcrisisprotocol #miniaturepainting
