Fresh reinforcements for my #BroodBrothers themed Imperial Guard army. Another Rogal Dorn along with some supporting armour. That brings me up to 13 vehicles. I enjoyed building and painting them. Now I'm really looking forward to playing them 😁

Took my Rogal Dorn out for a spin. Despite the threat of "new model syndrome" it somehow managed to last until the 4th round when The Lion took a distinct dislike to it. I forgot just how much I enjoy playing Guard. Can't wait for the next game. #WarhammerCommunity

I finally have a Rogal Dorn commander for my Brood Brothers army. I'm really looking forward to trying it out on the tabletop. Any takers on how long it'll last before "new model syndrome" inevitably kicks in?

Seeing these models on my hobby desk, the idea popped into my head and I simply couldn't resist 😂

Just a Techmarine taking a few Dreadnoughts out for a walk 😁

I got into WH40K back in 2017 with Dark Imperium & the Ultramarines were my first army. I don't play them often these days, but I keep adding to the collection when I can. The Brutalis Dreadnought is my latest.

I'm still having fun converting models into Genestealer hybrids. Here's my take on a Neophyte Hybrid Navigator. No third eye. No Astronomicon. Just the ever present susurration of the hive mind to guide their journey through the Empyrean. #WarhammerCommunity

After a bit of a detour, it feels good to be back painting my #Tyranids. I love this army, not least because the models are so quick and easy to paint using Contrast. And finally, I get some monstrous terrain to sprinkle into the games I play.

I needed to clear my mind & cleanse the hobby palate. So I dusted off these old minis & gave them a new lick of paint. Yep, I've had Dawn of War on my mind 😁. I used the minis to experiment with oil washes too. A fun little change & a very useful learning experience too. #WarhammerCommunity

I completely forgot about the Tempestor Scions gathering dust at the back of my hobby cupboard. I've not used them since 8E and they've been repainted so often, the paint is showing its girth. Cue yet another shameless vanity shot of this army. 😁

I picked up these reinforcements last week. My airbrush honestly makes me feel like I'm playing this hobby on cheat mode sometimes. It's just so damn fast. My #BroodBrothers are getting closer to 2000 points. #WarhammerCommunity #AstraMilitarum

That's it for now. Not counting the Vindicare, around 1500 points of my Serrine 148th, all set for the tabletop. Must admit, the vehicles were the quickest part of this army to paint. Not sure what's next 🤔 Maybe a Rogal Dorn at some point.

Some close up pics of my Serrine 148th Regiment. I really enjoyed kitbashing & painting these brood brothers. As with all horde armies, I went for a simple & fast paint scheme but with emphasis on making the GSC facial features visible on the tabletop from a couple of feet away. #WarhammerCommunity

I'm making good progress on my latest project. Loyal Guardsmen of the Serrine 148th Regiment. Known for their almost supernatural coordination in battle and their extreme devotion to the Emperor who is often depicted with four arms in their iconography. 🤨 #WarhammerCommunity #AstraMilitarum

Not often I post grey plastic but I'm very excited by my newest project. I needed a change for #WH40K so I dusted off my old Imperial Guard army. The old Cadian sculpts aged badly & I'm building new ones. You might notice there's something not quite right with the replacements 🤫

Expat's view. I can sum up UK in a word: DEFLECTION. Rising prices, stagnant wages, unaffordable homes, shuttered high streets, NHS woes. Blame it ALL on 0.6% of the population. Ignore corporate profit, wealth gaps, asset buying splurges. Keep looking down & not UP for what's going wrong in Blighty.

I'm loving the variety of games available to play. Here's a pic of the last week's worth of gaming I had before I took off for my summer hols. It's a great time to be in the hobby. 😁

My newest army for #WH40K built with the Questor Forgepact detachment in mind. I've opted for the House Taranis colour scheme. The army is very much a work in progress (lots of Admech to build & paint) but I'm really looking forward to trying it on the tabletop when ready. #WarhammerCommunity

I finally have enough big bugs for a Crusher Stampede. Looking forward to trying them out on the tabletop. Sure, there's a lot in the meta that can smash monsters, but they look so cool.

I've placed a brave (more likely crazed) Blooded in front of them for scale.

Reinforcements for my High Elf Realms army are ready for the tabletop. With these princes painted, I think I'm finally ready to arrange my first game with this army 😁

My High Elf Realms army is starting to shape up. I'm almost at the finish line and really looking forward to trying it out on the tabletop. Just a few more units to go.

I'm really pleased with my progress so far. My High Elf army is now about 1/3 complete. There's always a tradeoff between satisfaction & sanity. And I had to cut some corners to get this lot painted. But it never really shows when you plop them on the tabletop 😉

Just finished this pair of Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers for my High Elves. I've been trying to figure out how to paint white robes efficiently. Turns out contrast paints are the way to go. They make for great glazes.

Next up are 30 archers 🫣

That's all but one of my entire High Elf army built, primed and ready to paint. It looks daunting. There's so much. I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed by it all.

But I've been here MANY times before. Sooner or later this army will be fully painted 🤓

I'm getting back into my flow with this #HighElfRealms army. Although I loved painting these chariots, I absolutely hated gluing them together after they were painted. The bits just wouldn't fit properly. Sometimes you just have to shrug & say "that'll have to do". #WarhammerCommunity #TheOldWorld
