Put in a loooong paint session today and got the metallics down on the rest. I also painted their candles. Phew! Now the beards, skin, gloves, and fire effect on the candles remain #hobbystreak day 395

Starting metallics. The back of the chainmail shirts took the longest because I'm trying not to get any silver on the belt or the crossed straps to make painting the leather easier later on #hobbystreak day 394

I got the purple basecoated on the rest of them. Good old batch painting, you spend 90 minutes and it looks like nothing happened #hobbystreak day 393

Another nine Saturnine Terminators finished, to clear the initial batch I built.

Still got a five man command squad and a centurion to do.

Santa was generous this year, I can't wait to work on Lucius and those LOTR models. I also spent a little time painting my dwarf miners, now it's time to chill and watch movies. Merry Christmas all! 🎄🎁☃️ #hobbystreak day 392

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

Merry Christmas all! Quick one today as I started by painting their tunics with sigvald burgundy 🎄 #hobbystreak day 391

Diggy diggy hole! My next project will be dwarf miners ⛏️⚒️. Unfortunately I somehow missed like 40% of the models when I primed them with grey seer so today I went over each model with 2 thin layers on all the spots I missed #hobbystreak day 390

There we are - 10 ironbreakers and 10 irondrakes done. Snow / ice bases to come later. These models were loads of fun to paint, so much armour but I tried to get some colour variety in there #hobbystreak day 389

Well these have taken a little longer than expected but they are finally done.

May I present the Merchant Princes sellswords for my Renegade Crowns army.

This is what 4 thin coats of wraithbone looks like when you have to put it over a dark metallic surface 😭. I'll paint their beards tomorrow, going for a nice mix of colours #hobbystreak day 387
