Assembled my first Mechanicum unit! Thallax are my favourite models in the army so I had to start with them.

I plan to have 4 units total. 2 with Lightning Guns, 1 with Plasma Fusils and 1 with Photon Thrusters.

Happy New Year!

My resolution? Acquire Warhammer. At least I know I can’t fail that 😅

Expect to see lots of Heresy from me as my World Eaters get finished and hopefully GW releases plastic Domitar and Vorax so I can get a Mechanicum army done as well.

Underworlds will feature too! ✌🏻☺️

Assembled my World Eaters Champion Consul today, used the fanciest head from the forge world helmets. He is the chain-brother of my Centurion.

10 more Despoilers to assemble to have the army fully built!

Merry Christmas to those celebrating! For my hobby-related goodies I got a Warhammer 40,000 Calendar and Squig bauble 😁 And some cash for miniatures, which should come next week 👀

I’d love to see your goodies (platonic) if you wish to share them! Happy Holidays ✌🏻☺️

Started the Jaws of Itzl today! Sotek’s Venomites are basically done, just the Saurus to go.

#artvsartist2025 is doing the rounds so here’s a sampling!

Started the year with my AdMech, after completing those I started GSC. New Heresy lured me in with World Eaters and I’ve just started Underworlds!

Played some Underworlds today, my Seraphon were thoroughly trounced by some Gobbos 😅

I’ve been busy moving house lately so I haven’t been up to much painting, hopefully soon!

Life has been busy lately so painting has been sparse for me. Managed to get a few more colours down on the Emberwatch though.

Painting hiatus is over! Back at it with The Emberwatch for Warhammer Underworlds. Should be a fairly simple project to get back in the groove!

Built my other 3 Underworlds Warbands today. Sorry for the lack of painting updates lately but I currently don’t have access to my supplies. Will get back to it soon though ✌🏻☺️

Short painting break so I don’t get burnout, I assembled Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz, The Blood of the Bull and The Jaws of Itzl Warbands for Underworlds.

I love the game and they’ll make a nice change from the 30k/40k stuff I usually paint.

Finished the Vindicator. I don’t really enjoy painting vehicles much but I think it turned out ok.

Catching up on the newer Godzilla movies this weekend. King of the Monsters was fun, especially seeing the other Kaiju including my favourite Mothra.

But my god (zilla), Minus One is absolutely incredible. Took me right back to when I was a kid watching the old films at night.
