Aspiring wargamer, one day I will find some time...
#MiniaturePainting
Pinned
Intro post. I was introduced to D&D and then #WFB 2nd edition at secondary school, but gradually dropped out of the hobby at uni. I was dragged back in via the blogsphere in 2013, painting my first mini in over 20 years for the first #BOYL that year. Something red. 1/7
Last batch is going slowly, but I need to get one of them and this guy ready for Friday.

The right arm was a pain to strip, I'm not sure what paint had been used on it but it had been there since 1988...

Back onto marines - heavier weapons this time.

My plastic marines have had a rough life, with various bubbles from plastic cement and the odd lump carved out either by me or the old school friend that I bought them from many years ago.

Hoping to get these complete by the end of the month... 😬

So this guy needs to be table-ready by Friday, and I'm modifying both arms...

Next mini project. These three space dwarfs (two #Oldhammer Citadel and one from @diehardminiatures.bsky.social ), plus three others that needed a second go in the stripping jar, need to be finished by the end of Oct.

I'm very pleased with how she's turned out, but getting this mounted thug finished has been a complete slog, and blew through my 31 August goal.

Lovely minis but fiddly and multi-part. Plus the first horse I've painted since my very early days, before the idea of photo references occurred to me!

In an effort to keep myself focused / honest, here's my painting target for the rest of August:

- Shields and final details for 6 vikings
- Finish 4 "nearly" complete Crimson Fist beakies
- 2 mounted ravengers from @diehardminiatures.bsky.social

One of my other highlights of BOYL was seeing the recreation of the WFB table from the 3rd Ed rulebook (clearly a labour of love)

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man!

Just finished this Champion of Nurgle designed by Jes Godwin in the late 80s. The shield was sculpted from scratch. Final pics soon. #warhammer #warhammercommunit #oldhammer #paintingwarhammer

Not sure that Sandor from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social likes being confined to a 20mm base.

Used my rudimentary Green Stuff skills to add a tunic hem as I needed to norse him up a bit.

Basically need to get him and his mates painted this weekend... 😮

I built this kit from BMT miniatures. It’s based on an illustration from the original Rogue Trader book. I have to have ALL the tanks for my guard! I green stuffed in the gaps, now it just needs paint. Anyone know what this tank is called? I can’t find any information other than the illustration.

I need to bulk up my Throng to 2500 points for the end of the month. After getting blasted aptly by a Hellblaster in the last campaign game I thought I’d return the compliment in the follow up one! One old school (best school for Dwarves) Organ Gun done! #theOldWorld #nerdlings #warhammer #wargaming

A nasty case of lead rot on one of my favourite beastmen.

I'm not quite sure what to do and whether he'll recover.

Paint strip (Dettol) carefully, then oven cleaner to neutralise, then all-over undercoat (including slotta tab) and see...?

Maybe a question for @delaneyking.bsky.social

A great game of #Oldhammer in Exeter yesterday. My chaos force and skaven facing off against a force of dwarves.

The goal was to control the middle of the field, with a ruined tower and church splitting the table into clear thirds.

Despite a last minute painting splurge my choices were limited.

It's worth tidying sometimes. Box of bubble wrap had not only the orc standard bearer I was pretty sure was in there, but also the troll I was missing, the minotaur I could have done with finding a few weeks ago, ...

I followed @mogsymakes.bsky.social tutorial on multibases for magnetized single miniatures and he released me from a 20 years curse of decision making. Looks so good. Thank you!!

Been awhile since I posted some of my minis. Here is one I finished recently for the Oldendemon competition on insta. God painting black is hard 🤣.

I'm making a scratch-built house in-between projects and I'll be incorporating the Blacksmith forge set I bought from Iron Gate Scenery a couple of UKGEs ago - build thread incoming over the course of the next couple of weeks 🙂

Can I recommend the art of sponge painting? It's quick, looks good and does a great job of hiding the layer lines.

I did a post over on dakkadakka about how I did some on my ruins.

New stuff (but small)! I’ve always wanted to do an eyes shield, and finally decided to give it a go. I should probably have left the eyelashes off though! A lot of effort for what will only be seen from the back of the miniature!

These guys are getting pretty close to being finished (although I'm probably not allowing for how long the missile launcher guy will take).

But...

Work has been pretty overwhelming for the last couple of months but I finally got some hobby time! Decent progress on these beakies, highlights and details next...
