I paint minis, sometimes retro, sometimes modern, almost always Warhammer.
#hobbystreak day 745

Finished the last of the catachan infantry squad and command squad, so now the army is up to 250 points!

Should be enough infantry to make a good start to a guard army, next month I'll change to get some armour to support them!

#hobbystreak day 740

Finished up the second squad of Catachans for the lava guard regiment.

Up to two squads complete now and a whopping 120 points of painted guard!

Due to my mass batch painting though, the next 130 points should only be days from completion!

Still painting up that massive Catachan batch. I've had to split up the batch a little as i've got 2 different skin tones to paint synthetic Caucasian half are now done.

After that it's just eyes, then camo patterns on cloth and they're done!

Once again my google-fu fails me. Can anyone identify this orc? Was in a box of classic blood bowl, but has some 40k looking parts?

Metal miniature fyi

More work on the Hades IX 3rd Regiment 1st infantry platoon.

All the basecoats are down so we're in highlight town! Orange vests are done and I'm starting on the red weapons next.

I love seeing these come together. The Lt is especially standing out with his bright armour!

ID request:

Does anyone knoww what tank this is/is meant to be?

As far as I can tell it's some deathguard conversion? But I don't know my horus heresy and marine tanks that well, especially as its come from a source known to have forgeworld bits.

Continued work on the Emporer's finest. Brown boots and bags, along with a coat of black for trousers and jackets.

Batch painting this large a group is strangely therapeutic, I only manage one colour a session, but it really feels like the army is marching to completion.

#hobbystreak day 727

More work on the 'Flaming Third' guard regiment. Need to come up with a name for thier lava planet one day...

Squad 1 is complete, and I've started batch painting 26 more infantry; squads 2, 3, and a command squad.

Should give me a full platoon as a base for my army.

#hobbystreak day 726

The first 5 catachans for my new year new army project are done. 5 more are nearing completion, hopefully to be finished tonight.

Plenty more to do though, 3 more full squads and a command squad to try and finish by the end of Jan!

#hobbystreak day 720

The busyness of the holidays has stopped me updating, but not painting.

First the Idoneth Spearhead is complete. Always a treat to finish a project, even if they took too long.

Now it's new-year new-army time with the lava world catachan. Starting with 35 infantry this month!

#hobbystreak day 707

Making steady progress on the giant Dogfish. More or less done now, mostly base details and a bit of touching up to go.

That will leave me with the 2 crew and the mage left to finish the spearhead!

#hobbystreak day 703

Painting is back on the menu!

My mojo is back and with it I've started on the next Idoneth unit.

The giant Dogfish. Yes they are sharks! Ones which I caught frequently with my dad when I was young and he took me fishing in his boat off the UK's south coast.

#hobbystreak day 701

I think I've painted more in the last 3 days than in the prior 3 weeks! Feels good to make some solid progress!

And with tonight, the eels are done!

The eels, clearly the horses of the sea, are ready to carry the *nearly* normal elves on top to battle.

#hobbystreak day 699

I've been knocked on my ass by this flu in the UK, so tonight was the first night I had a decent painting session in a while.

Finished painting the amour and skin of the eel riders tonight, still need to do red and blue bits before attaching to mounts and a final detail pass.
December 9, 2025 at 11:17 PM
#hobbystreak day 686

Wow 12 days since my last update!

Eell the point of hobbystreak is some progress is better than no progress.

Shark is assembled and base is half made. The elves are all sprayed ready to paint and the eels are progressing, just the red and a detail pass and they're done!

I may be biased, but I'm damn proud of the business my Wife has made, with a little help from myself, of course.

Ive finished the basecoats for the eels, bar a couple of tiny bits.

Decided to focus on just one eel to get a bit of a scheme done. So eel 1 has had its main skin, reds and blues highlighted.

#hobbystreak day 699

Steady progress on the Idoneth. The basing for the eels and the soulscryer is more or less done. Just need to do the fish.

The eels themselves are starting to get thier basecoats done, and I assembled the sharks, though that does still need a base doing.

#hobbystreak day 695

The last 3 namarti thralls are painted. Finally finishing the unit, they definitely look good together.

Onward to the next unit. The eels are getting their bases done, sand was done first, and now the start to the seaweed 'flying stands'
November 4, 2025 at 10:57 PM
#hobbystreak day 691

Not much in the way of updates as I've been mostly fixing some old minis and stripping some things ready for new-year new-army.

The last week or so, I've finished making my eel riders, minus making some seaweed out of greenstuff for 'flying' stands. And made the mage leader.
October 31, 2025 at 11:30 PM
#hobbystreak day 685 (yesterday)

More progress on the thralls, green copper and skin is done now. Only blue and red left to do!

Given the weather, it's time to get ahead on building so I can spray when the weather is good, so tonight I worked on the eels from the set.

Paging all those lovers of weird miniatures.

Can anyone help me ID this oddity?

First glance, citadel LE 15 warlock. However, they have a clear plastic? glass? bottle that they slot into. The legs have been swapped out with a peg that fits into the bottle.

Conversion or rare relic of GW past?

Starting on the next 3 thralls, basecoats are mostly down now bat the metallics.

Looking forward to moving on to the less alabaster elves in this combat patrol!
