2024 was utterly awful for me this year but at least on the hobby side I got a lot done! Painted 40k Orks, Warmaster Lizardmen, Underworlds, Angmar for MESBG, built and painted a few Turnip28 bits, oh and spent a month just building castle terrain too! To a more hopeful 2025! 🎉 #warhammercommunity

Woah, did not expect this especially since AoS also got a range refresh for their Darkoath counterparts #warhammercommunity

Painted up some #10mm Orcs from #wargamesatlantic and their Classic Fantasy Battles range. The trees are 3D prints I picked up a couple years ago at Salute.
Will come back and add some final finishing highlights at a later date - too many other projects to get back to!

I have a blog which I’ve started posting regularly again on. Recent topics have covered Wargames Atlantic’s upcoming 10mm Classic Fantasy Battle, and also have posted the first part of an introspective on my ongoing Turnip28 projects. Have a look if you like!

Decided not to try and add sponsons, i think it would spoil the look and just not be worth squeezing them in.
It meant I could finish off the sides.
66 rivets added.
Still to do:
1. Gunshield.
2. Banner.

I like the simplicity of the Chaos Champion - strong posing and silhouette.
The Space Marine though? Mehhhh, and emblematic of the issues I have with most modern GW sculpts.
What do you think of both?

Knew there was a good reason why I hadn’t painted my Warriors of Rohan yet 😅
Looking forward to the paint guides for different eras of Rohan, and the journal format gets a thumbs up for me! #mesbg

I had a great day of painting & actually managed to finish Beechbone. I enjoyed painting him & think he is my best Ent so far. The sculpt of this mini is just SO good!
I'm looking forward to him leading my Ents at the Doubles event next weekend.

Haven’t posted in months - have just upgraded my airbrush and looking forward to practising with it on some Horus Heresy kits I’ve built recently.
I also a have a few bits I need to finish with a normal brush (Fallout Factions crews, Warmaster Lizardmen) as they are pretty close to completion.

Been unwell, made some more Turnip28 minis 🐽 Don’t have energy to do much at the moment, but at least sculpting is less commitment. #turnip28

I made another #turnip28 mini, trying out the Wargames Atlantic peasants sprues (not including the head on this one). Pretty good and I like the slings arms in particular! On a 20mm base for context.
