Choosing neutrality is not noble. Neutrality always is taking the side of oppression. Fuck ice

They’re opening a Warhammer World in DC, pretty awesome news. I just hope they let the currently established cons keep their big tournaments and golden demon and don’t try to get into the con circuit again with the new place

This is disappointing to say the least

Working on some competition plinth basing tonight on stream! Check it out before adepticon! Twitch.tv/waltersworkshop

So I’ve been playing Claire Obscur over the holiday and I’m at the endgame. I played the dlc and the final boss of it took me 2 hours to take down (one single battle). I’m feeling a mix of happiness that I beat him but also that fight was a slog. I never want to play a fight like that again

Little teaser for my next competition piece. Recognize it?

Missed business opportunity making a business for funeral home catering called “Thyme’s Fleeting” specializing in brick oven cooking

“I didn’t finish painting my minis”

How long can we keep it going? (Difficulty: impossible)

No stream today as I catch up with a bunch of work now that the break is over. It’s gonna be a tough week but we’ll be back on Wednesday! In lieu of a stream please enjoy a picture of my lazy cat

Gotta love a big battle #pathofconquest @parabellumgames.bsky.social

As promised, here’s the Warhammer/ Games Workshop 2026 Bingo Card we made in stream last night. I’ll update it as the year goes on but what would you add to the bingo card?

New years stream stats now! Twitch.tv/waltersworkshop

Had a pretty great year overall and a lot of these were accomplished! I’m going to do a full review and add some for 2026 (as well as 2026 hobby prediction bingo) on stream tonight at 7!

A little reminder that no matter how long you’ve been hobbying. The knife man gets his. And by ‘knife man’ I mean me. And by ‘his’ I mean myself.

Putting mandarin minor to good use, the pronunciation for Nurgling in Chinese is Nah-gow-ling. And the characters mean “receiving filthy spirits” 纳垢灵 Nagouling

I was today years old when I found out that Nurglings in French are Nurglets, and in Italian, Nurglini haha

Back home for the holiday and found one of the rule books from my first boxed set

First time entering MPO and honestly it was a bit nerve wracking to enter the masters categories but to my surprise I ended up placing with the piece I was least expecting! Thanks to all the organizers at @cultofpaint.bsky.social for putting it on!

Sadly all the old world was bought up but they had some 40k and blood bowl left. But the real stars are my first two codex’s near mint and all of this for less than $60

My S/O found a local consignment shop nearby that had some Warhammer. I asked her to send me a pic to see if there anything I’d wanna get. So now I’m taking a trip to the shop after work to buy everything I can

It's been a couple months since we checked in on the competitive world of Conquest; Robert Cantrell is here with an end-of-year update!

twas the stream before Christmas, we’re panting on twitch. Some minis from conquest, I hope it won’t glitch. Twitch.tv/waltersworkshop

For those who entered or who are interested. The MPO awards are gonna be live on twitch tomorrow at 7pm uk time! I have three masters entries so wish me luck, and good luck to everyone else who entered! twitch.tv/cultofpaint

Working just two days before a holiday is like the worst kind of Christmas Eve anticipation

Little known lore about me. One of my dream jobs I wanted as a kid was to make Christmas nutcrackers

Live now on the @parabellumgames.bsky.social Twitch and I got special permission for a new painting competition reveal! Come hang out! Twitch.tv/para_bellum_games

It’s been a while since I kitbashed. Forgot how fun it is!

Legit....

People be like “I’m so tired” then stay up way too late because they haven’t had enough me time after surviving the day. …it’s me. I’m people

Taking shadow reference photos is extremely helpful when looking how to paint lighting effects

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

It’s so disappointing to see folks are now making “AI painted miniatures” and it’s even worse that it’s getting harder to distinguish every day

Wasn’t sure if I’d dig these sculpts for the Gemred Knights from @parabellumgames.bsky.social But man they’ve shot up to my top 3 for sure

I just had the thought that it’s a good thing o don’t work for GW because I would definitely be putting in work to correct the space marine bias and hard pushing the xenos agenda. It’s be Matt Ward levels of biases not in marines favor

Well we have our answer!

Taking bets on the Total War announcement tonight at the game awards. Total War: Warhammer 40k or Total War: Age of Sigmar?

It can be a hard road but that’s why support is so important #lgbtq #pride #ally #trans #supporttranskids #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

It’s that time of the year again.

Here is the front and back of Glumfry the Pond Troll I tried to sculpt lots of different textures so that hopefully he will be interesting to paint. (walls in the background by @fenrisgames.com nearby snails by @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and door is discontinued by Rackham)

The hard part I have in the hobby often is direction. Once a project is done I have a hard time picking a new one because it’s not just picking one. It’s more like a calling or a pull to start a project. And this morning it hit me! Got me feeling like

This month is always really busy in general. It’s a bummer that on top of that I seem to be in a painting rut. So much army to build and I need to get rolling on adepticon entries, a whole lot to do but let’s see what we can do!

Hope everyone has a nice thanksgiving today. Every day I’m very thankful for the online miniature painting community but I wanted to make sure to vocalize it today in particular. Thank you for being amazing!
