Hello! I put together a basic 'So You've Left Hobby Twitter' starter pack for new joiners to Bluesky who maybe feel a bit lost. It's not exhaustive but should be enough to get a complete beginner started with a mix of content creators, writers and hobbyists. Please share around

Another mini painted up for an Inquisition kill team or Necromunda gang.
An upper spire doctor/scientist. Used the Genestealer cults Biophagus and just a head swap and change to the staff.

#nerdlings
#warhammercommunity

Genestealer cults Biophagus converted with a headswap from a Cadian officer with bionic eye, and the staff in his hand altered to have an Imperial emblem, sort of a mark of office/standard.
Painted with a white labcoat and grey pants. Vials/test tubes and flasks painted to appear as glass with a mixture of lurid colours in each one. Staff is brass with purple padded sections to grip.

My Aeldari models are MUCH quicker to paint so I'll definitely be trying to get them ready for the Christmas trip. Also, check out these 3 Spirit Seers! They've got starry little butts! #aeldari #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #eldar #40k

It happened. I have run out of display space. As such, and because it's Orktober my Necromundan Sump Orks are up for sale. DMs are open if you're interested. If it sells I'll build something ridiculously large for my chaos androids. And a bike for the kid.

The 'ugly phase' of a model sure hits different when it's an expensive giant junk of resin, huh

Hi folks, a bits box plea! I’m after some of this era of plastic wolf mounts, believe they were packed in with a variety of stuff. Don’t need the riders. Anybody got any kicking about? I could buy the Old World box, but hoping to find some for trade or cheaper before resorting to that! #Nerdlings

For my friend's brithday, I'm making him a special copy of Lord of the Rings, where every song is replaced with the Supercar theme. So dar I'm up to page 377.

Page 377 of Lord of the Rings, where the Fellowship leave Lórien in a beautiful melancholy, and Galadriel sings her final farewell...

With beauty and grace
As swift as can be
Watch it flying through the air
It travels in space or under the sea
And it can journey anywhere
Supercar
Supercar
It travels on land
Or roams the skies,
Through a heavens’ stormy rage
It's Mercury-manned
And everyone cries it's the marvel of the age
Supercar

Watch it flying through the air,

E F# A F# E

It travels in space, or under the sea,

And it can journey any - where,

[Chorus]

Supercar-----! Supercar-----!

[Verse 2]

A close up of a crudely sketched biro drawing of a cloth troll. I briefly considered giving him trousers, which are scribbled over the main scribble. The drawing is around 3cm tall.

A render of a digital sculpture of the cloth troll from the previous scribble, holding an axe. The troll has big floppy ears, big fists and a very long neck.

A metal miniature of the cloth troll. In the background there is a cloth rogue and a beanbag magic cat.

A painted version of the cloth troll miniature. The troll is purplish with a big pale belly and black ears and brows. Beside it is a cloth dug which is blue with a pale belly and black ears and brows. The two figures share design elements.

Finished off my second unit of Rockguts. Inverted the blue/purple from the first unit. I dont think the palette is as good, prefer the higher contrast of the blue ones, but they look pretty neat side by side.

because stuff always works like this when you're a one-man band, obviously it's only now that Alien:Earth is finished I'm finally getting chance to remake the moulds for our Xeno:Morph kit. He's back in the shop as a pre-order, anyway!

model of Morph from Take Hart only he's got an elongated phallic head, dorsal tubes and spiked tail like Giger's Big Chap from Alien.
