I finished my Hive Tyrant and Screamer-Killer in my Aliens ™️ scheme, just in time for a game on Thursday. I haven't used either yet, so I'm excited to see how they get on!

I built a board in a photo frame for #Greathelm using some 3d printed cobbles. I wanted this to be flatter than my last board for placing bigger terrain like ruins or buildings, but to also look cool without terrain. I'm pretty happy with it #nerdlings

Played my first (solo) tryout game of #greathelm and I was a big fan. I can see it being carnage with 6 knights per side (and an opponent!)
It was fairly evenly matched until it was down to two knights, then one failed a Courage test due to the gore generated by the guy that HE gruesomely slayed!

More #Greathelm business... I made my own map based on the paper one by @relicsean.bsky.social
I'm now covered in - and have almost run out of - static grass 🗡️
Very excited to get a game in soon though, so it'll all be worth it!

I've kickstartered Great Helm, the new one-box skirmish game by @malev-da-shinobi.bsky.social and so this week I've been painting up some Victrix knights and I'm ready for a playtest game!

Finished up some Zoanthropes for my xenomorph-inspired Tyranids. Black with a drybrushing of Death Korps Drab+White, carapace finely edge highlighted with Thunderhawk Blue. Brain bits are Moot Green+Thunderhawk, highlighted with Moot then a bit of white mixed in (for those interested 🤣)

I made some ghost Vikings / Normans / Saxons who are mainly Wargames Atlantic Dark Age Irish with added WGA zombie heads. I loosely followed a @gardensofhecate.bsky.social tutorial to paint em and as you can see, they came out exceedingly well

I converted up a Flesh Tearers Terminator Captain. Mainly he's the Leviathan guy but with a Blood Angels chest, an old Sanguinary Guard relic fist and a Death Company head

Imagine if in Terminator Kyle Reese had said, "Skynet started calling itself Mecha-hitler." You'd think that was the most stupid thing you'd ever heard.
This is our world. We're living in a broad satire.
Anyway, I've redrawn an old 2000ad cover.

Moody Raveners pic! I built these guys to join my new 40k Tyranids army rather than as a Kill Team.
Aliens (and ant) inspired all-black scheme, using a highlight colour I mixed myself and have now run out of 🙃
Was it Waagh Flesh and Dawnstone?

I decided I wanted a Gabriel Seth so I made one! He's mainly an Assault Intercessor with a Heresy Heavy Chain sword and some Blood Angel Captain bits and a Death Co head. Might run him occasionally as a Death Company Captain too

I made a Gundam Zaku head into a bit of terrain. Great news for sci-fi scavengers who want to hide behind a huge robot head

I went to the Moyse's Hall Museum today and this is my favourite ridiculous helmet ever.

Me and a couple of chums played our first game of #SpaceGits by @planetsmashergames.bsky.social last night. It was *a lot* of fun! We decided a paper mat would add to the chaos, and it led to lots of crease-based comedy (mainly crease=buttcrack jokes). Also, I lost

Finished Friday! I finished my first unit of Dark Age Welsh for Lion Rampant. 12x Warriors including some Welsh hounds, because why not?!

Had a lovely game of 40k last night, and whilst walking back in to my house, I dropped some Fleshtearers, 4 of whom broke 😬
Worry not! They've all been repaired now🩸🪽
