My place to share miniature painting hobby! I collect and play a range of games from Indie game designers to Games Workshop.
My lovely friend @ruskles.bsky.social took me out this evening for a #GamesNight at @waylandgames.bsky.social. We played 4th Edition #40K - Daemonhunters vs Chaos Space Marines. #WarhammerCommunity #Midhammer #Nerdlings
Yesterday was uncharacteristically productive, so I managed to do a base for this second-hand triceratops toy. #28MillimetersBC @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social
I wonder where I got my inspiration? 🤔 I just need to make a volcano 🌋
I picked up this awesome T-Rex toy second-hand on Vinted. I popped him on a base, and now it's ready for a game of #28MillimetersBC by @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social. I'm looking forward to playing this game. #Nerdlings
I treated myself to this lovely limited edition 4th Edition #40K rulebook for a really good price. I got into the game during 3rd, but I probably played 4th the most and I think it is the best version of the rulebook with the various ways of playing (Combat Patrol, Kill Team etc) and hobby guides.
Today I finished painting my first miniatures in 3 months - a group of @northstarfigs.bsky.social cavemen to be used in #28MillimetersBC by @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social. These were a relatively quick (for me) paint job, but it feels good to have done them. Backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social.
Frances treated me to a lovely lunchtime trip to @waylandgames.bsky.social to play a couple of games. We played #RaceAcrossTheWorld and #Cascadia and, uncharacteristically, I won both! #Boardgames
Post something fast! #40k #Orks #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting
Whilst my concentration and motivation for painting miniatures is currently very poor, I have been slowly working on some new terrain. I built these modular autumnal woods, which will add a nice splash of colour to games. #Nerdlings

Cheesecake has taken his place on the catnip throne! #CatsOfBluesky #Cat
My lovely mum-in-law dropped around to keep me company this afternoon and brought the copies of #28MillimetersBC by @fwalkerrpgdev.bsky.social she picked up for us at #UKGE. @ruskles.bsky.social and I are looking forward to trying this out.
This morning I received a little lift when the postman dropped off a lovely Box of Hugs from a dear friend.
I LOVE Vorax! They are my favourite Mechanicum unit and I really enjoyed painting them. They were good fun in 2nd Edition.
Cheesecake really loves his catnip plant! 🐱🌿 #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
I'm finally home from the hospital 🎉 I'm so pleased to be back with my wife and two lovely fur babies - Cheesecake and Churro. This morning I've put up a brand new sign on the garden side gate. #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #LordOfTheRings
This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone! Cheesecake and Churro having a lovely cuddle.
My mum-in-law came to visit me in the hospital today because my wife was at work. She gave me this cute deck-building card game, which was surprisingly good. #CardGames #BoardGames #Bears 🐻
Exactly the same thing happened to my Sartosan Pirate Captain in the first Mordheim campaign I played. He took part in two games, did nothing, then died permanently ☠️
Currently getting a bit frustrated being in hospital, so my amazing wife bought me a set of small, but fiendishly difficult, beautiful wooden #JigsawPuzzles. I've built these two this evening.
Catching up on some reading whilst being admitted at hospital. Today I finished the excellent 'Service Model' by @aptshadow.bsky.social.
I've built the first of the @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Zombies I picked up at #Salute53, ready to be adversaries for our #RangersOfShadowdeep campaign. This is a great kit, and they look much better for painting than the AoS Deadwalkers.
Currently signed-off work and trying to distract myself so I've been building the lovely kits from #SarissaPrecision that I spoiled myself with at #Salute53. I found putting them together quite therapeutic and I'm pleased with the overall look. I've finished them now, so not sure what I'll do next.
This good boy has a smile that could brighten anyone's day!
I've finished up another of the lovely Infamous JT Dwarf minis - this time, a wizard! This was one of my favourite sculpts in the collection and a big reason why I backed the Kickstarter. Backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social. #MiniaturePainting #PaintSlam26 #Nerdlings
Josef Bugman is sporting some pretty mighty facial hair!
A lovely, but tiring day at #Salute53. I was rather less restrained than I intended to be, so I've got plenty to keep me busy for the next year! I think I'm most excited by #ForbiddenPsalm after having a flick through in the pub.
