The base coats for the striped barding is complete! Onward to base coating the riders. #warhammerCommunity #paintingWarhammer #nerdlings #theOldWorld
Half way there basecoating the stripes. I am seeing purple stripes in my dreams. #warhammerCommunity #paintingWarhammer #nerdlings #thisWasABadIdea #butItsGoingToLookSoGood #thisIsHowHashtagsWorkRight?
The test knight is complete, so now I am batching out the mounts for the remaining knights. #paintingWarhammer #warhammerCommunity #nerdlings #theOldWorld
Nearly finished with the first Bretonnian model. I have gone all out here, with stripes, custom decals, painting over the decals. The works. #paintingWarhammer #theOldWorld #nerdlings
Starting on the test model for my Bretonian Exiles army. Still need to print some custom transfers for heraldry. #paintingWarhammer #theOldWorld #nerdlings #warhammerCommunity
Tiamat comes into the bedroom most mornings when my alarm goes off for cuddles, which as been the loveliest thing.
It’s my first time away since adopting Tiamat, and goodness I miss my cat :( (Yes I’ve only had her less than two weeks but she is adorable)
Bretonian exiles get a bombard, so obviously I need two. Converted from the Ironweld Great Cannon, mostly by chopping bits off. #warhammerCommunity #theOldWorld #nerdlings
The next phase of @epigram.games is nearly here. I'll be putting out more information very shortly alongside a revamped website about Able Artemis, my cold war gone hot on the moon wargame. It is going to be incredible.
Finished construction of a Warhammer Fantasy fort tower today, reasonably heavily modified from the stock kit as to give it some individuality compared to the full fortified manor. The styrene tiles from @fenrisgames.com really came in clutch here for the roof. #warhammerCommunity #warhammerFantasy
First fully painted model in too long, from @fenrisgames.com’s Wyrdworld range. Painted in an evening. Still needs basing but that will come later.
Operation Solvent has been a success. 11 pots of plastic glue prepared, this should keep me and my friends well stocked for several years (this was about 1/8th the total supply)
Sometimes you sit down and you put some icons on a map. Sometimes you realise there's no good maps of the moon for what you want to do and you spend like a week of evenings writing a software stack to make an accurate topographical contour map of the moon. Oops.
#UKGE stand 2-905, come get your tiny sci-fi skirmish and tiny sci-fi skirmish accessories. Except between 1030 and 1130 where you should be at the AI in games seminar where I’ll be channelling my inner Ludd
All set up at #UKGE this morning at 2-905, here to spread the good word of tiny tank combat
I've been working on a new Old World army, with some Chaos Warriors. I've christened them The Cult of the Welcoming Death, and their sign is that of a carried skeleton. One of their champions even carries the skeleton of a Sigmarite Warrior priest. #paintingWarhammer #nerdlings #oldWorld
Drop something destructive (More info can be found here: improbable.solutions/2025/10/25/y...)
Harlequin progress! I hate working over white primer, but I’m very happy with my progress so far. #paintingMiniatures #warhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #nerdlings
The Harlequin Falcon continues. It’s now fully covered in diamonds. I just need to paint the rest of the tank now. #paintingMiniatures #warhammerCommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #nerdlings
I have gone fully mad. I am painting a harlequin themed eldar falcon, in mostly brightly coloured checkerboard patterns. It is going to be beautiful, but goodness, why do I do this to myself? #paintingMiniatures #warhammerCommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #nerdlings
It's both older than several old world kits, and still 40K legal, it's the wave serpent (hull). It is beauty, it is grace, it will hit you in the face (with a twin-linked starcannon).
I am at Salute! TH17, near the N4 door, selling tiny tanks and tiny tank accessories. Come say hi, play a demo, buy a tank!
Almost ready with the other new release for @epigram.games due out for Salute (cutting it close, I know). A pair of new fighting vehicles with interchangable sponsons and the tank has a pair of magnetisable turrets.
I am a person of my word. This is an incredible model, I said I'd put in a day one preorder, I have put in my day one preorder :D
It is "only" 80 pages, and it's an expansion to Hypersteel Nightmare, but I am massively proud of it both in terms of the mechanics and the layout. @juanochoa.eurosky.social absolutely knocked it out of the park with the cover as well.
