Some lovely new minis from Northwing here

A great game, and my newest recruit rolled "Lad's got talent"! Well worth the loss of my Captain's eye.

I wish I had this much hobby space. www.instagram.com/reel/DUS_6rV...

I started a re-read of "Consider Phlebas" by Iain M. Banks. I'm looking forward to discovering The Culture all over again.

Now I need to kitbash this from a @badsquiddogames.bsky.social mini.

First of 2026. Euclidian Starstriders painted as the Guild of Ash from #necromunda #jhbackdrops

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers. Hard Mode: No Gundam series, Battletech, Terminator, or Macross.

I've misplaced my sprue-goo. I'll have to man up to a general tidy up of my hobby area :-(

Also the anniversary of Balin being taken out by an orc sniper. Big day for #nerdlings

A few mummies attacking a couple of the Silver Bayonet Egyptian unit. Minis by Northstar and Westwind, midground scatter from @fenrisgames.com , background from @handiworkgames.bsky.social #jhbackdrops #nerdlings

My Ostermark mercenary warband, The Gilded Swine, flexed their muscles at an all day event in Newcastle the weekend. Here they are about to get minced by an undead warband playing the Street Fight scenario. Only one henchman failed to survive the post game so no harm done.

That tartan though

The Stew Pan Clan assembles to head into Mordheim. Minis from Old School Miniatures, with a backdrop from @handiworkgames.bsky.social

Sometimes you just need to launch speed paint onto some metal to get the ball rolling again. #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Sylvester Stallone, best known for his performance as Subway Thug #1 in Bananas (1971)

Cheese and onion bake? #alienearth

@handiworkgames.bsky.social is Mossy Bob on your roster of artists for background books? 😉 youtu.be/nlUYjbfwbLE?...

For eons unmeasured great Cthulhu lay dreaming in his house at R'lyeh, emerging to devour the world ... From a happy meal on the M5

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social good morning. Let me be the umpteenth person to inform you that Bad Squiddo got a shout out in the new @tabletopminions.bsky.social video today! Woo hoo. youtu.be/Dc9dkbgyKa8?...

Hobby brain switched from painting minis to scratch building terrain last week. I've got a ruined house and tower ready to be primed.

I only found out about the Tripartite Indenture a couple of weeks ago, which I found surprising for the amount of time that I spent in Alnwick as a child en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripart...

Always use steel to threaten a mystic. Backdrop from the new desert book by @handiworkgames.bsky.social , midground scatter by @fenrisgames.com, minis from @northstarfigs.bsky.social

There's a written up internet protocol to use pigeons (or any bird I suppose), so... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over...

Here are a couple of miniatures from The Egyptian Unit for #Silverbayonet. Although I love that the versatile Sci-Fi backdrop book can be used for Egypt, I'm looking forward to having options.

Painted this marvellous wendigo, my first #moonstone figure, a few weeks ago. Then he waited patiently on my table until I got around to putting a twig (log) on his base for him to crawl over.

My take on Ursa from #Predator "Killer of Killers". Mainly Frostgrave parts, with a couple of 3D printed shields from etsy.

A year since I took some viking minis to Lindisfarne for the anniversary of the invasion in 793.

After literally decades of wondering what to put on the shields of this Regiment of Renown I was struck by inspiration today. Mengil Manide's Dark Elves now have flayed skin nailed to their shields, using @peachytips.bsky.social masking tape method for cloth youtu.be/JJ0cOFKpto4?...

We went to Souter Lighthouse yesterday. It has a fog horn too!

Great service from @fenrisgames.com : delivery 24 hours after I ordered. Time to get cracking on my latest project.

After finishing these lads a week or so ago, I finally got around to photographing them. "Borgo Pass Tribesmen" from @crookeddice.bsky.social in front of a suitable backdrop from @handiworkgames.bsky.social

@ashbarker.bsky.social After yesterday's patreon hangout I'm determined to introduce my kids to Dark Tower... if it still works when I put the batteries in.

My most recent finished batch. Bloody miniatures, Rotten Factory, Meridian miniatures and Northstar.

6 'Coriscan Rangers' from Perry Miniatures that I picked up at Vapnartak this year. I used a few videos from @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social as pointers on how to paint them, I'm not sure that I would've been brave enough to tackle them otherwise.

I love Shani from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and went through my lead pile to paint a trio of characters with double hand weapons. I've paired her with another Kev White sculp (Kalyna from Hasslefree miniatures) and added the werebear miniature from Northstar's #Silverbayonet Russian Unit.

I did a little hotel hobby time this morning. Useful to rattle off some speed paint coverage on 'table ready' miniatures.

I tend to paint in small batches of miniatures from various genres, to keep up my interest. Sunday is often the day I manage to finish a batch. Here's the latest batch. Meridian, Northstar, Bloody Miniatures and Meridian.

I'm in! Northstar, Meridian, Hasslefree and Northstar again.

French grenadier from Northstar Military Figures Silver Bayonet range. Scatter terrain by Fenris Games.

"Fly my beauties". Crow King from Crooked Dice, with a Handiwork Games backdrop.

Rotten Factory miniatures mercenary

I've created this account on the train to Vapnartak, a wargames show in York. I'm going to use it for following 'hobby' accounts and for photos of my painted miniatures.
