I’m gonna pin this for now as I consider these to be my prettiest minis as well as the best representation of where I’m at at the moment, hopefully this time next year I’ll be able to replace this with 4 new pictures!

Played a couple games of chill spearhead today, lost against my brother’s giants then ran a fun intro game for a friend who’s never played wargames before- he chose the sylvaneth and I random’d slaves, ended up with an 18-16 win after a horrendous start for him losing treeman turn 1! #hobbystreak

Promising #hobbystreak snuffed out yesterday by a trip to a and e for my partner- she’s alright thankfully, and managed to put some more paint onto our joint project the loonshrine! I also got stuck into Ushoran, did some big brush messy wet blends which I LOVE for the cloak

Rematched against a friend’s idoneth list that battered me last time- fairly similar result on this unfortunately! Still had a good time and learned a lot, and actually managed to kill the turtle this time so that’s progress! Identified a few blunders for next time which is helpful #hobbystreak

Busy day at work so very little painting has happened today- I did manage to slap the contrasts on this one poor lad who got forgotten at the back of the airbrushing desk when I batched the rest! Forgot to base my kb ROR for the game tomorrow despite having all week for it.. #hobbystreak

Rough first wash onto ushoran after taking a lil break from the morbhegs! Will need some tidying up but plan is to get a single coat of paint at least on every area of all of them before going back in on the big lads later #hobbystreak

Got some in last night but forgot to post- morbhegs getting close to being ready for acrylics, I accidentally did the red fur with a different paint for one of them so will see how noticeable it is when they’re all together and potentially slip some more pink on! #hobbystreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 7d

Remembered to post just about on the right day :) slapped a bit more contrast on the weapons and beasts for my morbhegs, going to be a rough basecoat to be highlighted with regular acrylics later! #hobbystreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 7d

Boo this man, he forgot again! I did a similar blend of contrasts to my banners for the scrappy bits of wings on the morbhegs- really pleased with how it’s turned out! Have also realised I can stick them on the side of my cabinet for extra storage space.. #hobbystreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 8d

These early starts are really messing with my ‘post mini pics’ body clock- yeaterday’s work was mistly airbrush stuff on ushoran and my morbhegs, picked up a new contrast paunt for the brown and pretty pleased with it as a basecoat- big man himself needs darker purple on his cape! #hobbystreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 9d

Took the pic but forgot to post! I ended up playibg a great game against nurgle (first time!), no pics as his army was unpainted- managed a tight 60-56 win in the end! Also managed to get the cryptguard largely finished for my FEC, gonna try snowy bases I think (sorry pic sucks lol) #hobbystreak

Thanks bud, this was the last batch so had refined the orocess a bit by now! Not 100% on it but definitely happy with it for basic troops, next ones will be the old black knights so going to try the same with them :)

Bit late but ended up finishing off the bases for my last batch of skeles and am thus free from their boney shackles #hobbystreak

Really pleased with these quick and dirty banners, just mixed a couple of contrasts together with a big wet brush and swirled it til it looked extra gross- then monitored as it dried to stop it pooling too much at the bottom! Also shaded the skin on the rest of the unit #hobbystreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 13d

#hobbystreak today was a monday gameday to catch up for a missed one last week! I’m really enjoying gitz but definitely misplayed this quite hard, some great rolling turns 4 and 5 couldn’t overcome mistakes made early doors! Next time, all willl be painted including my loonshrine :)

Did a little tweaking on my skin recipe for the fleshesters on this model which came as part of the lot already painted decently- it had pale skin so I slapped some plaguebearer flesh and then coelia greenshade on top, before changing the base rock to fit my scheme #hobbystreak

Absolutely gargantuan afternoon/evening at the airbrushing desk has my FEC and Maggotkin ready for the brush :) also my gf and I started our first joint project, the aforementioned loonshrine! #hobbystreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 15d

Aye, I’ve bought flesh eaters and nurgle this week out of nowhere, I just can’t resist a good deal 😅 I think it’ll be quite a nice one, I don’t usually do terrain but I’m gonna prime the top pink and let the airbrush do it’s magic for the yellow!

#hobbystreak today was building the loonshrine I impulse bought yesterday- lovely kit, loads of fun details and little gribbly bits! Would be even better if the moon and the rock could be sub assembled but can’t have it all!

#hobbstreak today was getting my first game of gitz in! Got 75 points in a tight game against my mate’s refined soulblight list, proper shitter off in the middle of the board with so much healing, recursion etc- mvp was the spider coming in behind, shredding his wight king and securing 2x tactics!

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 18d

Today’s actual #hobbystreak was shitloads of airbrushing, ended up sticking a load of blue on my friend’s archaon and also got my own chaos varnished, as well as shooting some nice vivid pink under this nurgle spearhead- happy with the effect so far :)

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 18d

Belated #hobbystreak post, I ordered a single biggus piggus cos it was cheap on fb market- will need to change the base but spent some time yesterday dropping 3 coats of pink on the panels, pretty happy with the existing fur and skin on it :)

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · 20d

Have been super busy with work so not been posting- played in my first 2k tourny yesterday! Came a close 2nd for best painted and went 1-2, KO are real dirty rn! Had a great time, was nice to meet so many people in the community, AoS feels like its in a great spot right now #hobbystreak

Got my chaos warriors finished today! Crackle paste let me down as usual so bases aren’t as intended but ended up using sone fluo pigments which i’m pretty pleased with to sell the glow :) #hobbstreak

Matt Woods @matthewdoubleyew.bsky.social · Sep 11

Was having such a great day- enjoying some TI in the background whilst settling into the new job, got these fellas almost finished! then my car broke down before my game, I turned up an hour late and got tabled after my opponent’s double turn 1-2! Hard misplay taking first to do nothing #hobbystreak

Wanted to wait until I was done for the day before posting and ended up forgetting to do so! Had a long session working on my chaos warriors, really pleased with the blends on the blue to orange, hoping when the bases are done it will help sell the OSL! #hobbystreak
