Not quite managing a mini-a-day at the moment. Life is busier unfortunately, but the Escher Wyld Runner is done. I originally named her Ribena but now I think she looks like Rumi from #K-PopDemonHunters

Next, does the Dauntless finally get painted, or a Punishment class Arbites cruiser?

Heading into the Danger Zone with this Dakkajet for today's mini challenge! The Red Devil as it came to be known by the pilots of the Imperial Navy.

For tomorrow it's back to the underhive, but should I paint Sgt Jeffords of Enforcer Precinct 99 or Ribena, Wyld runner of House Escher?

Mordheim Sister of Sigmar throws her weight around as she beats me out the Marienburger docker for today's mini-a-day.

For tomorrow I thought we'd head back to the skies but should I paint an Aeronautica scale Dakkajet, or should I paint a much older Epic scale Fighta bomba?

The Dauntless lost out again to my converted Tyranid cruiser. I am very pleased with it though, especially with how symmetrical it looks from above.

For tomorrow we return to the City of the Damned. But should I paint the Marienburg dockside tough or a holy Sister of Sigmar?

Meat! It's what's for dinner! #Necromunda corpse grinder butcher completed for today's Mini-a-day challenge. Might add gore to him later.

Next, let's return to the void between the stars, but should I paint the much lamented Dauntless class light cruiser or a converted Tyranid cruiser?

It's like in Mario Kart when you get Shrunkled! The epic Ork buggy kicks off #Orktober with a very tiny waaargh.

For tomorrow, it's back to the underhive of Necromunda. But do I paint the Cawdor heavy stubber? Or finish painting the Corpse Grinder boss?

I had hoped they would do that for the Border Princes list in the new arcane journal so, you know, we can at least live in hope of a made to order if nothing else.

Or just re-release classic Engrim Van Horsstman model! That two headed dragon was so cool and is just as old as the wood elf dragon they re-released

Second arcane journal I reckon. They should have released them in the first one. I am wondering if Lumpin Croops halfling archers will get re-released as a group of generic halfling archers.

But harpies, literally in Ravening Hordes. And not even a whiff of when they might be released.

90percentgeek @90percentgeek.bsky.social · 9d

I'm still over here waiting for harpies for my beastmen. Like, an actual unit entry that's key to the list, and they haven't even re-released it yet, never mind made some new models!

Mordheim Witch Hunter completed as requested. I may have been humming "Toss a coin to your Witcher..." whilst painting him.

Since it is the first of Orktober I thought I would mark the occasion with today's offerings:

Do I paint a classic Gorkamorka boy? Or an Epic ork buggy?

Thanks, I've done all of mine as quite vibrant and different to each other.

Ah the Retribution class, my favourite battleship

90percentgeek @90percentgeek.bsky.social · 10d

Whilst a certain witch hunter model gets painted, here's an awesome dauntless class cruiser - at least somebody painted one!

The Dauntless class light cruiser is my favorite BFG ship.

Looks like the Dauntless Light Cruiser might never get painted, but the first member of Dauntless Squadron of the Imperial Navy is done at least. I love Aeronautica and it's a shame GW didn't make more models for it.

For tomorrow, should I paint a tough guy from Marienburg or a grim witch hunter?

A lightning strike fighter in light grey with yellow flashing on the wings and tail. The base shows a green radar screen.

A tough guy with a knife and a big scary axe and an even bigger scarier feather.

That's a gorgeous scheme for it too! Does she have a name?

First Blood Bowl college athlete completed - Draken Tweaker, dwarf blocker for The Crazy Team of Arfur Brown (pyromaniac cousin of Radagast).

For tomorrow, does the Dauntless cruiser finally get painted, or would you prefer a Lightning interceptor from Aeronautica?

#nerdlings
#warhammercommunity

Draken Tweaker, joined the College of Fire on a sports scholarship as though not noted for his magical ability, he was exceptionally fond of huffing the fumes from dragon fire and playing Blood Bowl. Clad in the teams distinctive red and yellow flame decorated kit, and boasting a ruddy complexion from their head coaches insistence they practice in the furnace room.

Same dwarf blocker viewed from behind. How he keeps his long flowing blonde locks and beard from getting scorched is beyond me.

An as yet unpainted Dauntless class light cruiser. I'm thinking of naming it Felix given how unlucky it is in the votes for what gets painted.

An unpainted avenger lightning class strike fighter. I'm thinking of naming this squadron Dauntless squadron out of a sense of irony.

Escher ganger done for today's mini of the month. Let's guarantee a blood bowl model for tomorrow though, but should I paint the skeleton linesman for the Dead Men Running, or a dwarf blocker from the College of Fire team, the Crazy Team of Arfur Brown (a distant cousin of Radagast)

Oh man, there's even a model for it.

I can feel a video coming on...
