Finished! I've been working on these 5 Dark Angels intercessors for six months. Finally done! The scheme is based on an army featured in white dwarf in the 90s with flamey red offsetting the green. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Finished! I've painted a librarian for my Dark Angels army. They are in a volcanic landscape so I figured he'd have lava coloured camo. Actually, realistically it would be black but that wouldn't look as pretty. This is one of my favourite ever models! #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

I was just thinking.. I might have to re-open the account I closed 2 years ago, just to see if they are all losing their minds.

After a bit of a break, my son and I have recorded a video to our YouTube channel. We've had loads on but we'll have a regular schedule now. We took a look at the reveals and pre-orders for last week including the Warhammer+ mini reveals. #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

This weekend I put up two shelves and display cabinets of minatures in my hobby room. I am not a DIY person, I had a go, it was a painful experience. I think I'm future I will revert to my usual plan of paying someone to do this stuff. They came out okay though. #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

What unit should I do next now I’ve finished my centerpiece?

Pics of painted stuff and gifs get extra points 🤣

I took some fancy photos of Arjac.

Back in 5th edition I had a whole army built around him, but I didn't have a model for him and I never finished painting a single Space Wolf. 😂 So it's awesome to not only have a proper Arjac but to have actually painted a model too.

Finished! Completed painting my Empire War Wagon from Warhammer the old world. I've wanted a war wagon since it's initial release in 1991 so I was delighted by it's re-issue and the change to paint it. It's a great model. #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

Now... I know that orks are big green mushrooms. Not sure if squigs are too. I'd stay clear just in case. I don't do shrooms.

I reckon it would have a sort of beef jerky flavour. I'm quite into it.
andyhaines.bsky.social
But then, this makes me think.. flavoured paints for those of us who brush lick. Got to go, heading to the patent office!!

I mean.. how thick is semi-skinned milk anyway. They keep telling me to get the consistency of semi-skimmed milk. No idea, isn't it basically water?? I am not a milk drinker..
andyhaines.bsky.social
I think you are correct but it is a good introduction to the principals that underpin most paint styles of making lighter where the light strikes. It's easy to forget but this isn't necessarily intuitive. My brother for instance questioned why I do it as there is actual light shining on the mini.

This was no. 1 for me. There wasn't an internet when I started painting to tell me this. Gloopy paint everywhere.
