Hello! I put together a basic 'So You've Left Hobby Twitter' starter pack for new joiners to Bluesky who maybe feel a bit lost. It's not exhaustive but should be enough to get a complete beginner started with a mix of content creators, writers and hobbyists. Please share around

Gutted :( I love Rival Crafts, they're adorable great Cornish company. The lush Hyshian meadow these elves are riding through came from there

Painted this for my good friend Walt who asked if I would do this model to represent a D&D character. Ignore the blutacked hooves, I'm sending it unglued because it'll never get all the way to Aus in one piece. Also just realised I didn't do the horse's eyes 😆 #nerdlings

Unfortunately, this army's not gonna see much use here. Either one large or two small rifle platoons in Bolt Action with mortar and MMG, officers, a Hetzer, StuG, and Panther. Gauging interest here before eBay gets their hooks in - what *does* this kinda thing go for these days? 🤪

Atriox from Halo: Flashpoint by Mantic Games (although I'm using him as a proxy for Shayo Silverback, Rebel leader for Deadzone hence the orange and white colour scheme)

Always RS an army shot!
Having lost most of my childhood miniatures, I'm proud that I can finally field a 1,500pts painted army again. Dwarfen Mountain Holds for Warhammer: The Old World, ready for battle!

Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Mini-thread of pictures for my Grand Narrative army this year, the Death Guard. First up, the two characters. My Lord of Virulence and a Lord of Contagion proxy (Typhus w/o the destroyer swarm). #nerdlings #warhammer #40k

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

Rökthane Toothcutter Schiltron from @ontosgames.co.uk. Specifically, the Highlander special I picked up at Salute and have procrastinated on painting since buying it. I knew it should be tartan, but that's difficult, as you can see from the close-up! But I think it's effective.

The Necrosian Death Temple is all set up for shooting the Kickstarter film this week. This setup includes Old Dominion models from @parabellumgames.bsky.social Conquest game. Loving the larger 38mm scale! #conquest #nerdlings #warhammer #ageofsigmar #ttrpg

Working on the new chorfs at the moment and decided to try and classic colour scheme on them. I think I like it, not 100% convinced (face just basecoated and still deciding on a gem colour) #nerdlings

Look, if you're not using your Wonder Woman LED keyring to take photos with your phone that's blu-tacced to a serving mat that is in turn masking taped to a tipped-over kitchen stool, are you even trying?
