#hobbystreak 149. More work on the Kruleboyz. I've also assembled the Spirit Torment and Chainghasts for the second Nighthaunt Spearhead. #warhammer

All booked in for my first #Spearhead tournament at my FLGS and I can't decide what force to take. I have both Stormcast, both Nighthaunt, Kruleboyz and the Skaventide Skaven. Any recommendations #warhammercommunity? #ageofsigmar #warhammer

#hobbystreak 148. More Epic Warpath troops attached to painting sticks this morning. This afternoon/evening I decided to get back to painting the Kruleboyz. Who knows what hobbying will be done tomorrow?

For some reason I don't paint red that much. However I did paint this as my character mini for an upcoming festive D&D campaign (I actually get to be a player for a while!).

#hobbystreak 147. Started by painting the undersides of the remaining tanks. I then spent a bit of time putting infantry onto lolly sticks using double sided tape. This will hopefully make batch painting them a lot easier. #epicwarpath

#hobbystreak 146. Steady progress on the vehicles for my #EpicWarpath GCPS. I was hoping to get them finished today but obviously that didn't happen. I'm wondering if I might need to add a splash of colour to this colour scheme.

Skeletal fingers crossed.

They are both really cool. I agree that the Lady Olynder one is the best. It's a shame that the competition banner doesn't appear when I log into MyWarhammer though 😢

Yeah it was great. Especially as It was only about £3. It is very tempting to open it.

I always used to look at the Havok stuff in Woolworths on my way home from school. Unfortunately, I never bought any. Well, not until a few years ago when I found the Skirmish starter box in a charity shop in mint condition. Still not opened the box though as it seems wrong when it's still sealed.

Yes my back hurts and my knees sound like someone stepping on a box of Rice Krispies. Good memories of this edition though.

I would not be surprised if Bad-Enoch was ousted by the end of the year. Unfortunately the likely successor is Jenrick who is even more contemptible (although possibly more competent as a leader of the opposition).

This is all true but some people really don't like the idea of playing with models that are female.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 4d

#hobbystreak 145. Today I primed all the bases of my #epicwarpath GCPS and made a start painting the vehicles.

#hobbystreak 144. Last night was the start of the climatic battle of our #DnD campaign arc. It was a really nail biter at times and filled with wonderful chaos. The session ended with the battle entering its second phase, the villain reappearing, now imbued with demonic power!

The new Space Marine heads have certainly stirred up a storm online. Personally I'm ok with femarines, but I'm also not going to push for it. I suspect this release is GW testing the waters for a lore update (yes update, not retcon). #warhammercommunity

Almost like the Flesh stories from 2000ad but with Aliens rather than time travellers.

#hobbystreak 143. A little bit of prep for tomorrow's D&D session. Everything was already done I just wanted to review a couple of things. I also picked out a few bits on my Deadzone GCPS troops. They need a lot of tidying up before they are finished but I at least have my colour scheme settled.

#hobbystreak 142. Lots of Epic Warpath hobbying done today. Lancer tank turrets all magnetised, Mule transports assembled, infantry etc separated out for painting and finished scraping the mold lines off the bases.

#hobbystreak 141. I finished assembling the model for Secret Santa (into subassemblies at least and I need to get some more magnets to finish it). I have also written 1000 point lists for my GCPS and Veermyn so I can learn to play Epic Warpath. Lastly I've been planning a Mordheim terrain project.

I was just planning on starting work on some terrain. I'd best get started.

#hobbystreak 140. I said I wouldn't but today I started magnetising the turrets on my GCPS tanks for Epic Warpath. I also did some skin colour tests for my Orks. I need to get one more paint to try before I definitely decide on what to go with.

#hobbystreak 139. Not much excitement in hobbyland today. I did some mold line removal in the Epic Warpath bases. I've also been developing some ideas for the future of my D&D campaign.

Quite with your first anime.
