Staying in this evening after a long week, and finishing the building the Goremongers that I started last night for day 1436 of the #hobbystreak. Now I have to see how they play on Monday. #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #worldeaters #KillTeam

Next Monday I am playing some Kill Team, and since I had some Goremongers I was going to use for my World Eaters, I decided on day 1435 of the #hobbystreak to start to build them. They take me awhile as they are spindly so it slow progress. #Warhammer40kj #Warhammer40000 #WorldEaters #KillTeam

Saw this article on the BBC, thought it was a good read and glad the hobby I enjoy can be helpful. Focusing on the #hobbystreak and just trying to more active in the gaming community has helped me so much. #wargaming #BBCnews #mentalhealth #historicalminiatures

Day 1434 of the #hobbystreak and it was back to the SMASH PALACE!!!! Played Reya tonight and while I did not get to use her ability, I did get to hit for 12 Dominate with a Disenchantment of the Old Ones with a yellow Overswing on the board and knock out a player. Ouch! #fabtcg

I was think Ira also since I wanted an aggressive style of deck, but I have more of the cards needed for Aurora laying around.

I really have to make a decision by Saturday on which hero I should build for Living Legend for Philly. I never played the format, so not sure. I am leaning towards Aurora, since I never got try her out during her short time in CC. Still not sure though. #fabtcg

The best sport season of the year is starting soon, hockey season. Yes I know there were games last night, but it's Caps hockey time soon, and that is when the season starts for me. #washingtoncapitals #nhl

Had time this morning to do some painting on this warrior for Gangs of Rome on day #1433 of the #hobbystreak. After finding out bronze was used for the armour for gladiator, I based coated the greaves, helm and belt with some Spartan Bronze. #GangsofRome #miniaturepainting #historicalminiatures

I wanted to take advantage of the mild weather on day 1432 of the #hobbystreak and primed all the Anglo-Saxons (not all shown) I built as well as some of new Battletech Gothic minis. I want to get all my spray priming done before the autumn chill is here. #miniaturepainting #Pillage #battletech

Day 1431 of the #hobbystreak and I continued building more Anglo-Saxons for Pillage, this time some fully armoured warriors. Tomorrow I will take advantage of the nice weather to prime all of the #VictrixMiniatures I built so far. #Pilliage #historicalminiatures #wargames #anglosazons

Day 1430 of the #hobbystreak and working on my Anglo-Saxons for Pillage this Sunday. I built some unarmoured warriors to help offset my more high gold, full armoured warriors and huscarls with dane axes I will build later. #Pillage #VictrixMiniatures #historicalminiatures #wargame #AngloSaxon

It was a long day at the shop, and all I been looking forward was checking out the rules for Konflikt '47 by #WarlordGames. So after 12 hours of work, on day 1429 of the #hobbystreak, I can relax and read through the Core Rule book. #Konflikt47

Day 1428 of the #hobbystreak, and more painting of the Gangs of Rome fighter happened today. I did some highlighting of some Ares Flesh on the skin and some speed painting of the red tunic of the helmeted gang member. #GangsofRome #miniaturepainting #Footsoreminiatures #historicalpaitning

It was a long day at work (close to 11 hours), and all I wanted to do was come home and do some painting. So on day 1427 of the #hobbystreak I had enough energy to put a basecoat of Kronos Flesh on some Gangs of Rome fighters. #GangsofRome #FootsoreMiniature #miniaturepainting #historicalminiatures

Also played 2 games of #heroclix, forgot to list that also.

Have to go into work early today, but I had some time this morning some Anglo-Saxons for Pillage for day 1426 of the #hobbystreak. These minis are from Victrix and I love the small details such as the priest's Processional Cross. #Pilliage #VictrixMiniatures #historicalminiatures #wargames

September was an odd month for me when it came to my #hobbying. I built no miniatures at all, instead focusing on improving my painting, and completing one mini. I also play 1 game each of #Warhammer40K and #fabtcg, and even played 2 games of #Pokemontcg. #gaming

Started the first of September painting a mini for Gangs of Rome, so the last day of the month, that being the 1425th of the #hobbystreak, I started another. Tried #TheArmyPainter Speed paint marker for the tunic, which I give a 👍. #GangsofRome #miniaturepainting #historicalminiatures

I am still trying to figure out the colors I want to use. I might repaint the armour bits though. Was thinking a charred plating to show they been a few miles close to the portal.
Your minis look great, thank you for sharing.👍

Djmaclure @djmaclure.bsky.social · 12d

I want to give the trooper a bit of a charred look on the armour, so choose a dark base colour, and the cloth to be a heavy, dour green. So this is the start.

Day 1424 of the #hobbystreak and I wanted to try something new. I have had the John Blanche paints from #TheArmyPainter for awhile, which I thought would be good for Trench Crusade. So started some basing today on this solider, but there still much to do. #miniaturepainting #trenchcrusade

Day 1423 of the #hobbystreak and I returned to the foot knight I had to basecoated white over the black spray earlier this week. Now he has a bit more colour painted for a foundation to work on later. #TheBaronsWar #footsoreminiatures #miniaturepainting #historicalminiatures #wargames.

I have had New Fast Automatic Daffodils' "Stockholm" in my head all day, and I am not sure why. Not complaining, but it just odd since I have not heard that song in awhile. #NewFastAutomaticDaffodils
