I'll probably post about miniatures or Judge Dredd or punk stuff... He/Him 🍉

It's a kitbashed one, yeah! He's a Khorne Jahkals leader with an iron gob and a head/weapon swap
Unreal Tyranids! I love that scheme (but I shan't be repainting 120 Gants/Gaunts 🤣)

(Companion comment: great Necrons! But I shan't be repainting 30 Warriors)

Why we & @justtreatment.org delivered a massive cheque and 250,000 signatures to the UK government…
Played my first (solo) tryout game of #greathelm and I was a big fan. I can see it being carnage with 6 knights per side (and an opponent!)
It was fairly evenly matched until it was down to two knights, then one failed a Courage test due to the gore generated by the guy that HE gruesomely slayed!
Yeah - raw spray is like trenchy awfulness, or Sludge!! Drybrush, stones and rocks is like badlands, add the grass and it's a medieval stew
Excellent rendition of the knights in the book!
More #Greathelm business... I made my own map based on the paper one by @relicsean.bsky.social
I'm now covered in - and have almost run out of - static grass 🗡️
Very excited to get a game in soon though, so it'll all be worth it!
I've kickstartered Great Helm, the new one-box skirmish game by @malev-da-shinobi.bsky.social and so this week I've been painting up some Victrix knights and I'm ready for a playtest game!
That's a cool way of doing trenches that doesn't involve carving out a big block of insulation foam! Great looking board
No wayyyy! Sometimes (for me, anyway) contrasts can look hit or miss, but these are stunning.
This is an excellent colour scheme!
Finished up some Zoanthropes for my xenomorph-inspired Tyranids. Black with a drybrushing of Death Korps Drab+White, carapace finely edge highlighted with Thunderhawk Blue. Brain bits are Moot Green+Thunderhawk, highlighted with Moot then a bit of white mixed in (for those interested 🤣)

I made some ghost Vikings / Normans / Saxons who are mainly Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Irish with added WGA zombie heads. I loosely followed a @gardensofhecate.bsky.social tutorial to paint em and as you can see, they came out exceedingly well

Those Iron Warriors are excellent!
Ah, no way! It's the Midgard guy! Thanks very much, Annie. Looking forward to bullying my friends into playing some Mead Price soon
This looks very cool, and what a place to do some early-Medieval wargaming! (Also, I tried the QR code and it says it's deactivated 😭)
I converted up a Flesh Tearers Terminator Captain. Mainly he's the Leviathan guy but with a Blood Angels chest, an old Sanguinary Guard relic fist and a Death Company head

Imagine if in Terminator Kyle Reese had said, "Skynet started calling itself Mecha-hitler." You'd think that was the most stupid thing you'd ever heard.

This is our world. We're living in a broad satire.
Anyway, I've redrawn an old 2000ad cover.
Moody Raveners pic! I built these guys to join my new 40k Tyranids army rather than as a Kill Team.
Aliens (and ant) inspired all-black scheme, using a highlight colour I mixed myself and have now run out of 🙃
Was it Waagh Flesh and Dawnstone?
I decided I wanted a Gabriel Seth so I made one! He's mainly an Assault Intercessor with a Heresy Heavy Chain sword and some Blood Angel Captain bits and a Death Co head. Might run him occasionally as a Death Company Captain too
