Fox is happy the sun is shining. 😁

Well, that's now four times the 'repaired' boiler has crapped out within the month, so I'm stuck at home once again tending to a fire all day rather than getting bloody stitches out of my head. Hooray.

hey Bluesky, say hi to Rainbow he's a good boy 🌈 ❤️

The finished M4A9 Sherman-T for Konflikt '47! My #FestiveTankChallenge is complete... with a few days left in the year, for sure! Feels good, though, having missed the last couple years entirely, and happy to have this odd little beast to add to the collection.

Every now and then I see the absolute rampage of clicks, views, and comments that comes of "GW MUST FIX THIS" and "HOW GW BROKE THAT" and pulling "WHAT'S COMING NEXT FOR Xth EDITION?!" out of one's ass and I just. Man. The temptation! How easy it would be!

AHAHAAAA WOW SO FUNNY EVERY SINGLE TIME

For Sale: Government’s 20th (Sackville's) Regiment of Foot. Sale price £120

Working on some Silver Bayonet sets for a customer over a couple of months. Napoleonic Gothic Horror.

My second character for my #kingsofwar Xirkaali army is a werewolf with a caged elf backpack because of course it is 😆 he joins my ape lad for the #mymantic slow grow we're doing on the discord. Better paint some troops next! #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

It's been a long time coming, but a look at the kit and then painting the Piano Wargames - @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social team up French infantry! Spoiler warning: Yeah, they're really bloody good. youtu.be/2ZSjGYOFepM

"...featuring the original cast." Open the gate a little!

These are a little outdated by now - that Kiwi army in particular has spread across two entire shelves in the cabinet - but even from this range, I think you can see the principle in action. Zoom right in and everybody's really quite simple. See the army coming? Now they're cool. Well, I think so! 😂

While finishing off random miniatures from the shelf that've been sitting there for longer than a year, I primed and painted this Kiwi MG team for my 2NZ Division force in a couple hours. It'd be nice to have it painted better, but it's better painted! 😂 I know what I'm about.

Trucks might not be glamorous, but it's logistics that wins wars. A couple of CMP 30 cwt trucks and a field artillery tractor, all 3D prints. See if you can spot which is the 1:100 scale file enlarged to 1:56? 😜 Painted nice and quick so they'll fit in with a couple of British or Kiwi armies.

The Heresy was hard on the Krakenborn. Forgotten by Humanity by the power of the Emperor, they battled both loyalist and traitor in their quest to seek vengeance and a reckoning on Terra. They slew all in their path, emerging embittered, broken, and furious. #Krakenborn #horusheresy #nerdlings #30k

While I'm slinging paint about in my inimitable style - Jim Pansy, local mechanic, all done and ready to join the crew/settlement. Gone a little more April O'Neil than I intended but frankly it works for me.

They're very cool and sexy to have if you like your YouTube thumbnails without a massive gurning face in them!

While we sell the @handiworkgames.bsky.social backdropp books, you can only get the commercial licenses directly from the man himself. They're super easy, last a lifetime and don't cost much at all. All the information on how to get one and use one is here: handiwork.games/licensing-fo...

HOLY CRAP! I got 2nd place in the diorama category with my stuart!! Seriously unexpected but so chuffed with that!! Thanks to all who wished me luck it's certainly paid off! #histscalemodels #scalemodel

Good morning! It’s Friday again and it’s STILL raining. This week the theme is…wet. So let’s see liquids and so on. As usual i’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

It's been a long time coming, but a look at the kit and then painting the Piano Wargames - @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social team up French infantry! Spoiler warning: Yeah, they're really bloody good. youtu.be/2ZSjGYOFepM

Piano Wargames and @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social casually rolling out some of the best looking, versatile plastic Napoleonic French going. Really enjoyed painting these, and if one observes closely... the rear rank cheats are all in play here!

Having lived in the 'Nam for a few years, yeah, this looks about right. Must be Gold Cup week. iykyk

USS Hong Kong fires a Warning Shot at a Klingon D5E cruiser near Acamar, summer 2262. The D5E was a workhorse of the early cold war period, alongside the equally venerable D4E and F cruisers.

Waiting for juice to dry. Magic stuff.

A blast from the past, the Tamiya 1,35 Cromwell, what a great kit. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels #Tamiya

Death to Pre-orders! A little change from us... wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/d...

Getting mythology wrong is my Ulysses heel.

For Sale: Jacobite Rebellion 1745 - 4th (Barrell’s) Regiment of Foot. After unseasoned British troops had suffered a defeat at Prestonpans in Sept, a hardened British force of 7000 was recalled from Flanders and sent north under the command of General Hawley. Sale price £145

One of the surprising side effects of the (it turns out to be quite small!) wound on the side of my temple is that according to the doctor, it sits right over both a nerve and an important vein in the face. Occasionally, without warning, I'll suddenly start gushing with tears on that side. Yaaay.

Haven't posted any commission work in a long while so thought it nice to change that for a while. 28mm German ‘neff for the Space 1889 setting. Scratch built but uses items from the VSF catalogue + some 3d printed parts. www.oshiromodels.co.uk/vsfadditions #oshiromodels #aeroneff #wargaming #vsf

What a difference a decade makes, eh? The snap of the original plastic Mk III guys is ten years old. From memory, I think painting those each of those first guys took me longer than the recent Space Wolf, and that was still 'fast' at the time! That practice thing actually works!

I didn’t react visibly, because I’m used to clients making bad decisions, and I was getting a lot of practice at controlling my expression.

Happy Birthday to the great James Hong of Minneapolis!!

me, dead and at the gates of Hell: but why I am going to the ninth level, for betrayers? who have I betrayed? a demon, poring over his book: it says here that you made Rodger get up off your lap after he was comfortable. me: I didn’t know that counted. a demon: it’s the main thing we look at.

A panel from dungeon meshi that changed my life

Today (and yesterday) I have mostly been playtesting my rules for the forthcoming Leuthen 1757 game for @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social . It’s been fun – and exhausting! Fortunately all extremely worthwhile and I’m happy with how the game works. Now to hand over to the WA team for further testing.

And so to bed. #Nerdlings

We've got EIGHTY-THREE open participation miniatures games at Hotlead this year, including Dungeon Creepers, an ode to the '80s dungeon crawls of our youth. #Nerdlings #wargaming

Done! Amazing how a single piece just brings the piece together. Get this primed tonight, and I've got a fun project for tomorrow! #krakenborn #nerdlings

First completed unit of archers completed from Wargames Atlantic's 10mm English Agincourt box. I'm really rather enjoying painting these 😀

The Red Dragon, Veruxam, is finished! Commission piece for @ookamimonster.bsky.social of their sick as hell red dragon boy. #miniatures #dragons #dnd

If you see this, post a monster!

Couldn't sleep; kept rolling on to my right side where I normally sleep. It itches like crazy. But by far the worst thing? It's how my glasses sit. I feel like I'm bloody listing to one side all the time.
