I'm a miniatures painter and tabletop hobbyist who plans on posting stuff on here intermittently.
I do not know how to do the bluesky.

Finished another Infernal Cohort spearman for my Uzkul-Dhrath and updated the basing on the other Helsmiths I've painted so far.

I'm closing in on my third fully painted Chorf model and before I base that guy I decided to revisit my earlier basing scheme. I wasn't happy with it to begin with and after creating my desolation marked, even less. So I decided to redo my bases closer to that monochrome ash look and I'm loving it.

It's been a while since I've had a good game of WarCry. Took my Soulblights out to try out the new matched play rules. I won the game and my vampires are no longer thirsty.

First game on the new board with the new knights. Lost by one knight! It was a great time

My first group of knights for Greathelm! I've always loved the stoic look of the Knights Hospitaller so they were an easy choice!

I whipped up a dedicated board for Greathelm! I'm looking forward to getting some games on it soon!

Some quick and dirty gruesome death markers for Greathelm. Finally a good use for the crappy graphic printed "prepainted" bases I got as a free sample.

Picked up some WGA historicals to make a couple Greathelm warbands out of. This first group will be Knights Hospitaller when they finally get paint.

I have stumbled upon a little micro-skirmish game named Greathelm and I am *hooked*! I've already ordered some knights and am planning to build a battlefield in a picture frame! The system is easy to learn but seems hard to master. It's in playtest right now but I can't wait for the full rules.

"These lands are fair and unspoiled. I look forward to changing that." War Despot from the Helsmiths of Hashut. My first painted Chaos Dwarf in 30 years!

Ok so, I'm working up colors for my Helsmiths and I'm a red period baby, so I think I may try to recreate my Iron Golem color scheme (but with pale skin) paired with a simmering magma style base.

My very first Warhammer Fantasy army was Chaos Dwarfs. They had such a unique look and feel and I was hooked. I eventually moved on to better supported armies but they never left my heart.
Now nearly 30 years later I have new Chorfs on the table again and I could not be happier.

I just unearthed some absolutely ancient chaos space marines I painted like 20 years ago. They were supposed to be like living statues.

The Beast Of Broghlin Wood. A big ol' wereboar type creature I got from a Boris Woloszyn Kickstarter. Not sure what I'm gonna use him for yet.

I always mix up too much greenstuff so I tried my hand at sculpting a basic head for the first time. I'm impatient so it was all done soft. Next attempt would be to get a basic head shape and build features over that once it's dried. If I had some silicone tools that would make a difference too.

Picked up Star Wars Battle Of Hoth today and set it up just to get a good look at it. I'm a fan of the Command & Colors system so I'm looking forward to this

Marie-Claude and Esmee are all painted up! MC was the reason I hopped into Relic Knights in the first place so I'm super stoked to have these finished!

Really happy to get my hands on the 2nd edition Marie-Claude Relic Knights mini. This thing was only produced in a very short window before Ninja Division went bankrupt and so far the likeness rights for @mcbourbonnais.com haven't been renewed so it may never get sold again.

Finally an actual relic knight for Relic Knights. This is One-Shot. She is a sniper, so naturally her relic has a huge gun. They provided two different pilot minis and my plan is to keep them swappable. I had to resculpt the chin on the sitting version so hopefully it won't look too bad once painted
