Paranoia Troubleshooter miniature from 1985. Base has seen some damage and paint job shows its age, but these are not toys but memory machines. Game mastering this scifi setting was a blast. Failure to be happy is treason. #paranoiarpg #gamesworkshop #oldhammer #troubleshooter #alphacomplex #rpg

Paranoia Troubleshooter miniature made in 1985. Front view. Base has seen some damage and paint job shows its age, but hey - these are not toys - these are memory machines. Game mastering this game was absolutely amazing, and not least because of the work of Ken Rolston. 1st and 2nd edition development is credited to Rolston.

What caught my eye in last weekend Ropecon miniature sets was this Oldhammer army from 1999. Tuomas Lähdeoja’s Grand Tournament winning Raptor Legion miniatures and the White Dwarf article covering the victory. 3rd edition wh40k was something else. #ropecon2026 #miniaturepainting #oldhammer #wh40k

Photo of Tuomas Lähdeoja’s Grand Tournament winning Raptor Legion miniatures for wh40k 3rd edition and the White Dwarf article covering the victory. Roll the dice like it’s 1999.

Ropecon kinda weekend. Louise Sugden miniature painting and Rascal town presentation witnessed. The convention has grown to 10k plus attendees so there is plenty of things to see and experience. #ropecon2026 #miniaturepainting #LouiseSugden #coldnorthopen2026

Louise Sugden name tag as Cold North Open honorary judge. Three miniatures as painting examples.

She is the driving force behind the internal division of Adeptus Mechanicus story. Scaevola studying the Necron xenos tech has its advantages and drawbacks. Being prosecuted as a heretic by your peers is one of the main handicaps. #fanart #adeptusmechanicus #wh40k #scaevola #Mechanicus2 #techpriest

Fanart sketch drawing of Tech Priest Scaevola from Machanicus 2 game. Hooded bionic character holds staff with vox-caster speaker attached.

Jes Goodwin sculpted Warrior Priest Ogre from 1985. Originally published as RuneQuest miniature but soon incorporated to the Warhammer line. The asymmetrical design on clothing and gear is classic stuff that has passed the test of time. #oldhammer #ogre #warhammercommunity #jesgoodwin #theoldworld

Vintage oldhammer miniature on square base. Warrior Priest Ogre holds big skull mace and looks menacing.

Warrior Priest Ogre view from back - leather of different variations.

There are orcs and then there are orks and then there is the Orcs Nest, London. This coffee cup has been my favorite since 1980s. Those orc eyes have seen so much… “I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.” #orcsnest #teamorc #oldhammer #warhammer #vintage #ork #waaagh #orc #lotr #urukhai

Orcs Nest coffee cup as painting water container. Two orc miniatures: savage and Uruk hai from Lotr line.

Orc of yesteryear. Two possible positions: lineorc with block skill (red base) or blitzer number 4 when orc roster had the option for so many players. Left shoulder pad replaced with Sauron one lidless eye decoration. Second edition. #bloodbowl #teamorc #oldhammer #warhammer #vintage #ork #waaagh

Cloud of Flies token for Kill Team - stage three. Painted the thing as toxic green as humanly possible. Two drops of Nurgle’s Rot technical paint as point of origin in the base. #wh40k #deathguard #killteam #plaguemarine #nurgle #warhammercommunity #tabletopgames

Maximum Machine Affinity achieved: Kastelan Robots unlocked! Praise the Omnissiah! Those huge metal fists are made for pummeling Necron xenos into oblivion. This game is pure enjoyment, period. #mechanicus2 #wh40k #scifirobot #AdeptusMechanicus #Kastelanrobot #warhammercommunity #fleshisweak

Screen capture of Mechanicus 2 Xbox One game featuring Kastelan Robot. Finally unlocked these bad boys for Tech Priests to utilize in fight against the Necron.

The leader of Ork Kommandos the boss nob Pink Cap and his not so trusted goblin sidekick with Squig Burna thingy. That power klaw needs constant tinkering so it’s good to have have someone around who can tighten some screws. #wh40k #waaagh #orks #40k #Squig #orknob #warhammercommunity #killteam

Two painted wh40k miniatures: Pink Cap the ork nob and his goblin sidekick with Squig Burna thingy and flame decorated welding mask. Rusty floor and grey wall background.

You shall not pass! Heavy Intercessors Gunners are akin to walking gun emplacements. Heavy bolters allow them to shatter enemies with fusillades of explosive fire, either sweeping over massed troops or in focused volleys. #wh40k #spacemarines #killteam #heavygunner #bloodangels #warhammercommunity

Terrain building for wh40k and Kill Team. Modeling clay, sprue goo cast and random bits. Citadel crackling paint for added texture. Leadbelcher metal spray for primer and then rust effects. #wh40k #buildingterrain #sculpting #dasclay #miniaturebuilding #kitbashing #greenstuffworld #scratchbuild

Terrain wall miniature after Leadbelcher spray primer.

Factory is rolling up new production of terrain material. Das modeling clay is non sticky and it’s a benefit in this line of work. Biohazard sign should come in handy with Nurgle themed scratch builds. #wh40k #buildingterrain #sculpting #dasclay #miniaturebuilding #greenstuffworld

Das modeling clay sheets textured with Green Stuff Worlds “Factory” roller.

Oh, stepin back in to the iron boots of Adeptus Mechanicus! Once again this game is full of epic Warhammer 40,000 storytelling and now with playable Necron campaign too. Praise the Omnissiah. Videx is one cool dude. #Warhammer40k #Mechanicus2 #AdeptusMechanicus #wh40k #turnbasedstrategy #xboxgame

Cloud of Flies marker token - stage two. Added some detailing from Death Guard sprue leftovers. Minis within inch of this marker are considered obscured. Pop this close to the mission objective and you’re set up for success. #scratchbuilding #terrain #wh40k #killteam #killteam #plaguemarine #nurgle

This token build starting to come together. Cloud of Flies for Plague Marine kill team.

Extra details from two Death Guard sprues left over bits. Smoke bomb token seen in the background.

Today we continue our journey in the Dungeon… Some characters have made it through the funnel and started their new lifestyle as adventurers. Had my doubts about this “randomization rather than complexity” approach to game design, but it worked like a charm. #DCC #DungeonCrawlClassics #TTRPG #rpg

Black ink illustration of adventurer slashing rapier’s pointy end at axe wielding troll. Both characters seem to be left handed. Russ Nicholson illustration dated 2011 from Dungeon Crawl Classic rules.

With Nurgle it’s not always the blade that cuts the deepest. Even buildings, vehicles and the ground itself starts to get infected with the blessings of Papa Nurgle. Kitbashed and sprue goo cast terrain with Plague Marine for scale. #WH40k #WarhammerCommunity #deathguard #nurgle #chaosspacemarines

Lone Plague Marine stands on the ceiling of corrupted and rusted bunker miniature building. To be used with Warhammer40k and Kill Team tabletop games.

”Yes, Steve, if my memory banks serve me right this LL928 is in reference to the spacecraft of epic proportions - on par with Millennium Falcon if I dare say… Database links this to vehicle called Galaxy Explorer.” #lego #LL928 #minecraft #legominifig #starwars #c3p0 #legospace #afol #legominecraft

Lego minifigs of C-3P0 and Minecraft Steve look at LL928 text on blue Lego brick. Minifigs are in Mos Eisley cantina backdrop.

Putting final touches on this corroded bunker terrain project. Initial parts are sprue goo bitz done with silicone molds. Acetone forms these tiny bubbles when it evaporates leaving intricate surfaces. #kitbashing #warhammer40k #paintingterrain #killteam #miniaturepainting #terrainbuilding #bunker

Miniature bunker terrain building for Kill Team and Warhammer 40K or something else sci-fi related.

Nurgle Chaos Rhino hits a little bump in the road. Gunner seems hell-bent for the frontline but driver seems to have another idea. Infantry is sent out to recon. #warhammercommunity #kitbashing #warhammer40k #nurgle #paintingwarhammer #deathguard #rhinotank #miniaturepainting #40k #terrainbuilding

Kitbashed and heavily greenstuff modified miniature Warhammer40k Rhino tank for the Nurgle army. Death guard infantry miniature standing next to the tank. Broken road terrain piece sculpted from insulation foam.

Adepta Sororitas statue spray primer with zenithal highlight. Halo seems appropriate backdrop for this terrain project - still lot of painting ahead. #wh40k #AdeptaSororitas #killteam #warhammercommunity #battlesisters #skulls

Adepta Sororitas Warhammer miniature statue sprayed with grey and white primer to make zenithal highlight undercoat.

Ville@turms-of-alps· Apr 17

On second thought this statue could use something more… skulls maybe. Orks were underrepresented within the initial build so I ended up adding few bits on the base and some more skulls with chains on the statue itself. More skulls is better. #wh40k #kitbash #killteam #terrainbuild #orks #waaagh

Kitbash build of Warhammer miniature statue. Sprue goo sculpted extra base with added orks skulls. Even more skulls with chains from Chaos Rhino extra bits. Astrogranite technical paint to tie the thing together.

Ville@turms-of-alps· Apr 15

This Blood and Zeal box terrain statue was left unbuilt in the pile of shame, but now assembled and ready for the beginning of outdoor primer season. More skulls is better, no doubt. Sprue says 2019 so must be repurposed from wh40k to Kill Team. #wh40k #killteam #terrain #warhammercommunity

Miniature statue with skulls on base. Many skulls. Sprue goo bottom to give more stability and height.

Warhammer miniature statue and Tamya extra thin glue in the background.

Played Kill Team after a long hiatus- it was fun! Plague marines vermiculate over the Volkus terrain searching for Tau drones circling overhead. Updated poison vents worked in Nurgles favor. #wh40k #killteam #nurgle #plaguemarines #tau #paintingwarhammer #plaguecaster #warhammercommunity

Kill Team tabletop view - Plague marines leader and Plaguecaster peering over the Volkus terrain searching for Tau drones circling overhead.

The bigger they are the harder they will fall… so first game with Tomb Kings team was against Necromantic Horrors. Those pesky Flesh Golems hold their ground and Werewolves were blitzing left and right. 2-0 and the undead rivalry was decided in the favor of Necros. #bloodbowl #khemri #tombkings
