I finished my Rhino, invested waaaay more time than would have been necessary. Super proud of the outcome, the simple little tank is like a tiny diorama. 🥹 More detail pics will follow. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

With finished bases I did some group shots. I hope these kitbashed rubric marines inspire at least one ksons player out there! :) #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #thousandsons #lorgarwasright #magnuswasnt

Finally here's the sorcerer all of his little minions have been hyping up over the weeks. A really fun kitbash, and although it was hell of a lot work I can recommend it to all thousand sons players who want to switch it up a bit. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wordbearers #thousandsons

The Rhino might look a bit bland from the outside, but at least it has a rich inner life! The work payed off a ton, I love the way it is now a little diorama. I imagine the marine is quickly reading up on his homeWord before a big test in Bearer School. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #WordBearers

Now the one I am most proud of: The Icon bearer. The banner is made of greenstuff, a sorcerer's staff and the flame icon + some random shit. I tried some freehand, aside the warband icon decal. Hope it's recognizable. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wordbearers #thousandsons #lorgarwasright

As a palate cleanser, a few WIPs for my rhino. I swear I could build this kit in 30 minutes flat if I wasn't posessed by the spirits of unnecessary details. #nerdlings #wordbearers

GET DOWN MISTER SORCERER!! *bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang* #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #thousandsons

A good little rubric follows their master's orders. The best little rubrics take notes and doublecheck what those orders were, lest they forget. Or maybe they can just read stuff instead of their master, through some mind link. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wordbearers #thousandsons

Next Rubric done. The grenade-arm is from the EC tormentors and I really wanted to use it but it had no place in the EC kill team. The bolter, strapped under the cloak, was way more work to build than anticipated. I used some straps from a phobos marine. #nerdlings #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

I know I painted a lot more this year, but I did not realize just how much. 184 minis in one year, 4 Kill teams, 1 Bloodborne box, 1 nerdling contest entry, and a whole assload of Word Bearers. Damn. What a year. 🙏 #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #lorgarwasright

Another Rubric with boltgun, this one just extrudes aura. This mini alone looks like it would be the squad leader but it's just a grunt. The colors are very christmas-y, I realize. Maybe he got some presents. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Next Rubric, it's bolting time! Love the reload-pose, even mindless automatons need to do this. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Yet another rubric, going hard with a chainsword. I really like the aesthetic of their weapons...except the bird heads. I kinda wish I had replaced them with classical flamer muzzles. Ah well. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Finally got around to painting some Rubrics. Rogue Trader has me in it's unrelenting grip right now. Here's one with a more dynamic pose - the main reason why I did not like the regular Rubrics. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

First Rubrics Marine done, testing the painting scheme. I aam happy with how it turned out, so I'm going with it for the whole team. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

They told me I had to leave the kitchen 🥲 cos I was cooking too hard. 😎 Some WIPs of my (I think) very unique rubric marine conversions. That was a ton of fun, can't wait to paint them. (as Word bearers lol) #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #thousandsons #kitbash

Poetically the Chaos Lord I painted a few days ago was exactly mini #100 of my Word Bearer's Warband, "The Chalice of Eternity" I think that warrants some group shots. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #armyshots #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Finished my Chaos Lord, a konverted Kranon. He is kinda small compared to modern marines, but I guess this means he has to compensate a lot with his attitude. A really fun mini to paint, and the last one of the lot. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

I finished a Helbrute! Yippie! I love decorating those dudes like walking shrines. But this version of the helbrute in particular is also the main reason I hunted down a Dark Vengeance box. I am fairly proud that you can't even tell I replaced his whole ass weapon. #nerdlings #wordbearers

The Champion of the Chosen, carrying a representation of the symbol of Host, the Chalice of Eternity. This conersion was quite the ordeal, but he is sooooo cool (at least to me, and that is all that matters, right?) #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

The last four cultists, two leaders and two heavies. The leaders being a priest and an officer, mirroring the Word Bearers structure of a Dark Apostle and his Coryphaeus, wow. So fitting. Much parallel. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Isopods!! 🧡

Another Chosen, with lot's of lightning. The base is still missing a pool of blood, but that will happen after varnishing. He is manifesting a lot of whimsy with that pose. He is really happy about killing, I guess. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

More C-C-C-Cultiiiiists lesgooo! Did the ol' switcheroo with a pair of cultist's hands from the current set. Now the two dudes look completely different at first glance. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #WordBearers #lorgarwasright

New Chosen, this one's a boney boy. I gave him the mace that originally belonged to the Chosen's Champion, Draznicht, but I felt it fits a regular chosen more. I like the purple mace and the excess of bones. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #WordBearers #lorgarwasright

Four more cultists, this time with some disgusting boys. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Next Chosen, for this one it was extremely hard to convert the bolter to a combi weapon, because of the pose. But surely it will some day have been worth it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Chuck my fungus life.

More cultists, more tries on making them all individual. I feel the hooded ones scream AdMec. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

A chosen, fresh from the bench. Since it is an outdated model I had to add a combi-part to the bolter. Luckily I still had 2 of those from a terminator sprue lying around. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammcommunity #WordBearers #Lorgarwasright #isanybodyevenreadinghashtags

Done with the first batch of 4 cultists. Since there are quite a lot of duplicates I tried to give them at least a little bit of individuality - never forget, even the disposable cultists are human beings with their own history and soul. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

On the side I (re-)painted my whole Blooborne board game. I debated doing this for a while but in the end it was absolutely worth it. Now I really have the itch to get some add-on boxes, I love Bloodborne so much. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #bloodborne

Already working on my next project, got my grabby lil hands on a Dark Vengeance box. God I love kitbashing. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wordbearers #lorgarwasright

Finally done with the whole Emperor's Children Kill Team. Love how they turned out, all different and individual personalities but still as a whole a nice shared design language. Now on to reder pastures. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #EmperorsChildren

This Child of the Emperor is above all the others and he knows it. He can sport the animal print like nobody else, and is second to none in laying down plans. The Aspiring Champion of my Emperor's Children Kill Team. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #EmperorsChildren

This Child of the Emperor loves metal, for his armor and his music. Just don't tell him to turn it down to 10, or, gods forbid, a 9 even. It stays at 11. The Heavy Gunner for my Emperor's Children Kill Team. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #EmperorsChildren

This Child of the Emperor gets excited by chains, but not whips. What a freak. He also really loves half&half-assing things. A warrior for my Emperor's Children Kill Team. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #EmperorsChildren

This Child of the Emperor brought enough drugs for the whole class, but he doesn't want to share. The Chosen of my Emperor's Children Kill Team, styled as an Apothecary. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #EmperorsChildren

Harambe? More like Halalbe. Please consider the environment before printing this post. Save paper, save our planet!

This Child of the Emperor has a hyper-obsession with She Who Thirsts, and memorizes every little fun fact about Her. He also takes superior firepower a bit too literal. My Emperor's Children kill team Balefire Acolyte. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #emperorschildren

This Child of the Emperor let's his intrusive thoughts win. He can be yuor angle or your devel. Annointed for my Emperor's Children Kill Team, with mutated form. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #killteam #EmperorsChildren

This Child of the Emperor honors the proud traditions of royal purple, excessive force and even more excessive use of drugs. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #KillTeam #EmperorsChildren

I've gone and done myself a real freak here. Emperor's Children Shrivetalon. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #EmperorsChildren #KillTeam

Finished the Gunner of my Emperor's Children Kill Team - this one with a fiery hot fire armor. #EmperorsChildren #KillTeam #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #warhamemrcommunity

Wrapped up Elden Ring today! Watch me making a fool of myself in front of Radahns cute femboy bf, and afterwards make a fool of myself in front of the audience, trying to explain the story of Miquella and SOTE. And even worse...it's all in German 🫣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVcM... #EldenRing

Painting scheme test for my Emperor's Children KillTeam, I think I can go with that - mind you they all will get variations with different patterns and themes, only one shoulderpad will remain the same across all. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #EmperorsChildren #Warhammercommunity

Got the whole ass Shadowspear chaos group done, will post some detail shots later. I can already say I am preeeetty proud of the lot :) #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #miniaturepainting #WordBearers #LorgarWasRight

While I want to give all my Emperor's Children slightly different color variations (still mostly pink+black with silver trim) I want them to have one similar shoulder pad to tie them all together ((maybe)not in a kinky way) Which one should I take? I seriously can't decide. #nerdlings

Somehow I arrived at a point in my painting technique where I always collect a few finished minis to varnish them all at once, and then finish all the bases afterwards, meaning that in bigger projects there is no steady trickle of really finished minis. So here's some "WIP"s

Built an array of weird little freaks for my next kill team. Lots of fun individualizing each one of them, and I hope to push that more with the paintjob. (but there are a few more word bearers in the queue for that) #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #Warhammercommunity #EmperorsChildren #KillTeam
