Bailing out of the cesspits of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. At least until this place shows its ass
Pinned
It’s late March and I’ve probably already painted my best model of the year. There are a few elements I could have done better, but even still, I’m so proud of this. It’s my best work to date

I’m not even a boxing fan and that was an embarrassing showing by Paul. What a clown. Nice to watch him get his ass beat though

Ok! My nearly two month long lull, from mental and physical health issues along with some personal shit, I am back to posting stuff unpainted ages ago!
And to kick it off, my 100th painted model of the year! And the first terrain I’ve painted in years

The other model that really pushed me to look into a 3d printer. BiteTheBullet absolutely went off on this sculpt, it’s so fuckin characterful, and was a joy to paint.
And now I need to find the time and energy to take more pictures

Found a much more extravagant chorister for my knights of avarice warband and I couldn’t help but print and paint him.

Hip fire shotgun! Probably my favorite of the Yeoman I have currently have painted. My current campaign has barely gotten started but I already can’t wait until I can get this warband on the campaign trail

Now onto a yeoman that I’m a particularly big fan of because I modified it in blender! Nothing crazy, I just cut the original bayonet off and made a new one but considering I have no idea what I’m doing I was still very proud!

Here come the Yeoman! I do very much enjoy painting regular dudes, and this green on green has been particularly enjoyable

Sense I haven’t posted anything like this yet I’ll put a quick warning that this model is #nsfw
This was a gift for one of my partners. I did the majority of the painting by airbrush as a challenge and I think it shows. Despite my self criticism, she loves it and that what matters

Up next, this awesome trench cleric model I stumbled upon. I love the Ghibli style gas mask, and despite being rather still in its pose, it still exudes character. Very fond of this model

Alright back to minis I painted ages ago! In a new location with a new background for hopefully better pictures
A combat engineer for my Eire Rangers! It’s super hard to find any sculpts that are or work as combat engineers right now. It’s a bummer

Went to go see my absolute favorite fucking band last night with two of my closest friends. What an experience, what a fucking great night. So glad I got to see #sleeptoken and especially glad I had such great company

It’s fuckin late but while I wait for some laundry, here’s the last of the pictures i have waiting to post! Gotta take some more again. More fun hobby progress to share!

Been a while sense I’ve posted, and still getting through that back log of pictures!
This is my sniper priest, a sniper nun of Eire. I love this model and it was kinda the catalyst of my group getting a 3d printer

Made these a good two or three weeks ago. Some easy to make scatter cover. They’ll be hitting the table today as today is game one of the trench crusade campaign I’m running. I cannot wait to get off work and get to playing

In a large departure from what I’ve been painting, here are some very quick pictures of the Dwebble I printed and painting for my girlfriend! One of his legs didn’t print so I made him a little peg leg because I thought that would just make him that much cuter

My first yeoman for this warband! I really dig the green on green Rodger’s Rangers look the scheme has. I don’t know when I’ll get to throw these lads on the table, but I think they’re going to look great once they finally do

Man I love this model! Just an absolutely sick sculpt. I’m particularly happy with the heat damage I painted on the machinegun’s water tank. I remembered I had inks and was then reminded how sick they are!

My Finna berserker! Another absolute banger of a sculpt from Funduk25. I’m so excited for this absolute psycho to charge across a battlefield. I feel like my attempt to make him look dirty makes the skin tone look kinda bad, but ultimately I still love the model

A shocktrooper for my Eire Ranger warband! I absolutely love this sculpt and the aggressively green scheme I came up with for this warband. Though right after this picture this model fell and the rifle broke off past his hand. I will be experimenting with a less brittle resin today
September 11, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Finished this lad up like a month ago! I painted him up for a test game and as a test scheme for my eventual Naval Raiders warband. I’m quite pleased with it

Keeping up on the 3d print chain, and my last heretic legion post for a while, my other wretched! I think this came out fantastic in its horrific way

So a couple weeks ago my friends and I pooled funds together and got a resin 3d printer. This is the first print that I painted and I think it’s mind blowing that this was created in my garage

It’s been a long time sense I’ve taken pictures of what I’ve been working on, but I have been working!
With the trench crusade campaign I’m running beginning soon I’ve been building a bunch of themed terrain for games

14 models in the ugly phase! They’ll all exit the ugly phase if my kitten would chill and take a nap instead of fighting her donut and trying to lick her spay sutures

My hobby streak got broken by some heavy work load, but I’ve gotten back to it! I’ve got another finished trench crusade mini, but he’s packed because I’m going to go play today, so instead, have some dreads in the ugly phase!
