I continued my #HorusHeresy hobbying today and managed to knock out a punchy Iron Hands contemptor. In my first game he ended up nearly wiping out a tactical squad on an objective on his own between fists and graviton guns. #Warhammer #MiniaturePainting

Got pulled into #HorusHeresy finally and went with the Iron Hands! Thought I would post my first test model since I got my first learning game of 3rd edition in today. I still need to learn more weathering techniques but I'm pleased with the result for now. #MiniaturePainting

Working on my second #Mordheim warband, Morgrimsson's Expedition. I've been having a lot of fun despite terrible luck with lasting injury rolls (Morgrimsson, leader of the warband, died in my second match!)

The warband is meant to be from Zhufbar, hence the teal cloaks. #MiniaturePainting

I think I've finished my first 30 points of Cryx / Cephalyx for #Warmachine, aside from a few touchups and final highlights. I also managed to print another set of Criterions and a Wrecker to take me up to 50 points.

Only slightly regretting going with a white scheme for my Cryx Cadre. The Cephelyx units are basically done so now it's time for monstrosities and the drudge. #Warmachine #MiniaturePainting #3dPrinting

Got my printer's settings dialed in today and finished printing the Cryx Cadre from #Warmachine digital. I spent a few hours working on a white scheme for these creeps and I'm pretty happy with the results so far. I just have to finish the base and this solo is done. #MiniaturePainting #3dprinting

Kinda fucked up the window placement but I'm pretty happy with my first attempt at a scratch built building. #Mordheim #Terrain #TerrainBuilding #WIP

I managed to find someone to try MK4 #Warmachine with tomorrow, so I have been rushing to paint up my old steelhead mercenaries to finally play with. #MiniaturePainting

I replaced my printer's broken LCD screen successfully yesterday and printed a Mordheim Sisters of Sigmar warband as a test. I'm still bad at faces but the general scheme seems to work for how long it took me to throw together. #Mordheim #MiniaturePainting #3DPrinting
A single painted Sister of Sigmar Adept for the game Mordheim being held to help photograph it. The model is wearing iron armor chased with gold and is armed with a sling and a flail Ten grey miniatures on a painting desk. They are Sisters of Sigmar models from Monstrous Creations.

Finished all my Necromunda Ogryns! Currently using 6 of them for my first proper campaign and having a blast. Downtime is next week and I'm trying to decide what to spend my credits on. My first idea is another champion with either a mining saw or dual arc welders.
10 models for the game Necromunda. The models are all Ogryns painted with yellow armor, orange cloth, and pale skin.

Managed to get enough credits together after my second match to recruit two new ogryns to the crew: One regular ganger and another Lobo. I'm still working on names but I'm excited to have more than 4 bodies in the gang now. #Necromunda #MiniaturePainting
Two models for the game Necromunda on a painting table. They are Ogryn models, one from the Necromunda Ogryn box and one from the Astra Militarum Ogryn/bullgryn kit.

Starting a new campaign tomorrow and I just got these four done. Not sure if playing a melee gang is a good idea but I'm too into the models to play another gang right now #Necromunda #MiniaturePainting

Made some real progress on the first Ogryn ganger for my big Necromunda Ogryn Uprising Gang. I still need to learn how to really weather the armor down and then finish the base. #Necromunda #MiniaturePainting

It took me a while, but I got most of my pledge for January done. Still have 2 stimmers, 2 converted juves, and 4 forgeborn to tackle, but I wanted to share this milestone of getting all the normal Goliaths done. #Necromunda #MiniaturePainting

Not a sculptor by any means but I'm pretty happy with how this has started. I'm supposed to be painting my Goliaths but I keep getting distracted by converting ogryns! #Necromunda

Finished building all my Ogryns for #Necromunda. I went through an IG Ogryn kit, the Ogryn gang kit, and the BB ogre kit but I still feel like I want to convert more of these chunky models!

I pledged a Goliath gang for this month so it will be a bit before I get to painting these #MiniaturePainting

Just finished the last batch of my #necromunda Cawdor gang, aside from varnish. I've now got plenty of bodies to play a proper swarm. Still looking for a good name for the gang though
#miniaturepainting
20 miniatures for the game necromunda arranged in a two-deep line on a painting desk. The miniatures are painted orange and blue bisected, with brown and grey under robes. Most of the models arms are wrapped heavily in bandages. Each has a unique set of weapons ranging from flails and clubs to flamers and heavy, bomb-throwing crossbows

I mostly finished another batch of Cawdor minis for #Necromunda. Just need to varnish them to knock down the shine of the final washes. #MiniaturePainting
Pictured are five miniatures for the game Necromunda sitting on a painting desk. They are painted in a halved color scheme of turquoise and reddish-orange.

Starting my first big terrain project. I have a 4x4ish table topper that I made for Necromunda years ago. I've always wanted to have some modular tiles for it, so I spent some time cutting up a few project panels to fit within the border. Hopefully a cool board will entice my friends to play again!
