If you need a brawny, blonde, bare-chested hunk to accompany Xena Warrior Princess in your games of #warriorsofathena there's only one natural choice, right? That's right, Dar from 1982's The Beastmaster! Partly because I love the film, but also fuck Kevin Sorbo, AKA "Boy Xena" Hercules #wargaming

With days to go before #warriorsofathena releases, I made a push to finish the two main characters for my party, Xena and Gabrielle, and a bunch of NPCs for them to fight with and against! Minis from Crooked Dice, Lucid Eye, @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social (1/5)

My first two heroines for Warriors of Athena, the left one from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social & the right from Lucid Eye. This project's taking me way out of my comfort zone, experimenting with bright colours like this. There'll be more to come soon! #warriorsofathena #wargaming ##miniaturepainting

So I bought a bag of Victrix Greek archers for #warriorsofathena which ended up having a sprue of two slingers in it. When I asked if they could send another sprue they just sent another bag! I'm sure this is WAY too many archers, but at least I have a lot to choose folloers from! #miniaturepainting

Just blitzed through a set of simple bamboo forest #terrain for playing games of Ronin, Pulp Alley and other #wargames. It's turned out OK and more importantly is simple enough that I can whip up more if I ever need to. #miniaturepainting #terrainmaking #wargames #samurai

A few months ago I bought some Saxon body sprues to try & use up my Victrix heads and weapon arms. I was going for a generic "pulp fantasy baddies" vibe so they could work in multiple different settings. Not my best work but I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of them! #miniaturepainting #wargaming

I've got probably the last #40k game I'm going to play with my #sistersofbattle army this Sunday and I realised I'm now 55pts under 1k. I can't afford any more models right now, so I decided to #kitbash this Inquisitor using only stuff from my bits box. A bit janky but some paint will hide all sins.

This Christmas week I sat down & finally got a load of half finished miniatures for #stargrave #silverbayonet & #pulpalley done. The WW2 stuff was tough going but having the @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and Crooked Dice minis to add a bit of personality helped me stay engaged. ##miniaturepainting /1

This morning I put the last touches to this hefty terrain piece from @fenrisgames.com for my Classical/Fantasy skirmish games. It was daunting tackling this much resin, but I was so hyped to see it finished it shoved everything else off my hobby queue since it arrived! #miniaturepainting #wargaming

I finally found a use for all the spare heads and weapons that come with Victrix's Saxons and Rus: Warlord Games' armoured and unarmoured Saxons come as a sprue of just bodies and heads, and they sell them separately! (1/2) #wargaming #kitbashing

Just finished painting up this lovely little Ailthean tractor for This Quar's War. I've not done a tank before, unless you count Tau Devilfish, but I was so excited to try scale modelling tricks on it like netting & weathering that I couldn't put it down! #quar #wargaming ##miniaturepainting

Just finished off this morning, a horde of #oldhammer zombies! For 2ndhand minis the poses weren't too goofy, and my experiment with a blue undercoat for the skin made 'em look nice and pallid. 1st background by @handiworkgames.bsky.social, props by @fenrisgames.com #miniaturepainting #wargaming

My second crew of Stargrave minis - a gang of space spiders! Experimented on in a lab, where they developed super intelligence, their leader gained psychic powers from his brain implants, and led his fellow test subjects to swipe some guns & escape! #stargrave #wargaming #miniaturepainting

Now I have a proper camera on my phone, I'm going to start using my Bluesky to actually post pictures of the models I paint in my spare time. Here's all the ones I did on my week off for Silver Bayonet, Stargrave and Frostgrave. I'll post closeups with more detail over the coming week.
