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

Laying down some reds. #miniaturepainting #marvelcrisisprotocol

So... i went and did a thing. ...should keep me busy for a while. #miniaturepainting #marvelcrisisprotocol

Supposed to be done, but then I realized I messed up the hood, the lighting sucks, and i need to remove that gloss sheen... (It never ends, does it?) But as "almost done" proejects go, pretty pleased with this. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting

After weeks being "almost done" and supervising the Kill Team build... finally put the Tech Priest Dominus to bed. #warhammer40k #adeptusmechanicus

Here come the #plaguemarines! (I think i overdid the corrosion "effects", but pretty satisfied overall) Now to actually learn the damn game... #killteam #warhammer40k

Aaaaalmost there... (Plaguecaster can't be bothered to get up just yet...) #warhammer40k #killteam

First 2 Plague Marine agents, aaaalmost done. Decided to do these two first as a test to get the hang of the unfamiliar designs and color palette. Will probably take another pass or two once the whole squad is done, unless I miraculously learn to leave well enough alone. #warhammer40k #killteam

i find it incredibly cool that I brainfarted my way into a similar idea as someone who's craft I admire (and who is light years away in terms of skill level and execution) (Again, by no means a comparison. Just a really cool coincidence.)

The gang's all here. Now the fun begins... (Don't mind the pile of severed heads in the foreground) #killteam #warhammer40k

...and now for a little bit of body horror. #warhammer40k

Next Aggressor, trying to follow a Salamander color scheme. Not as satisfied with the result (compared to the Ultramarine), but it was a good learning experience. (Edge highlighting is still kicking my butt) We'll see if third time is a charm. #warhammer40k

Maybe it's the relatively strict catholic upbringing (and all the baggage that entails)... ...but i do have a soft spot for some space nuns with guns. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k

So tempted to just leave this chonkiboi as it is, and move on. But the work is never done, is it? #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k

Closed out the year with a rainbow and a mostly visible sunset. Onwards.

Rounding off the year with the last of my bootlegs. Inspired by the a Dark Angel (ish) color scheme. #miniaturepaintinting

That whole sequence from the trailer is just a beautiful and pure distillation of #superman. Also... krypto! Bulldozing through the snow!

Flexing the #gunpla muscles a bit, it's been a while...

First post here, might as well about bits of painted plastic. Continuing to stumble thru #miniaturepainting, this time trying out some #nekrons. Had a ton of fun overthinking and experimenting. Particularly pleased with the green bits. Onto the next attempt... #warhammer40k
