I started a vottann project 2 years ago. It didn't get very far.. this lot was it, they were almost finished at the time. I came across them in a box so decided to finish them off. I put finishing touches and based them yesterday. Finally make it into my display case! #Warhammercommunity #nerdlings

I did a bit of a photoshoot of my Dark Angels. I have photos when I finished painting each of them. I hadn't done the whole set.. so here they are. For anyone unfamiliar with my scheme, i based them on a scheme featured in white dwarf 170 back in the 90s. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Imperial Fists Infernus finished !

My goal here was to push my usual yellow recipe contrasts as far as I could, since I'm still lacking here compared to the Golden Demon entries i've seen.

I think I managed to really increase the contrasts compared to my previous IF, so i'm glad.

Tonight I finished an Aeldari Guardian of the Alaitoc craftworld. I've wanted an Aeldari army.. Alaitoc specifically since they were featured in a white dwarf 30-odd years ago. This is the first I've painted. I'm pleased how it's come out. #Warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Finished! I've painted a librarian for my Dark Angels army. They are in a volcanic landscape so I figured he'd have lava coloured camo. Actually, realistically it would be black but that wouldn't look as pretty. This is one of my favourite ever models! #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

After a bit of a break, my son and I have recorded a video to our YouTube channel. We've had loads on but we'll have a regular schedule now. We took a look at the reveals and pre-orders for last week including the Warhammer+ mini reveals. #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

This weekend I put up two shelves and display cabinets of minatures in my hobby room. I am not a DIY person, I had a go, it was a painful experience. I think I'm future I will revert to my usual plan of paying someone to do this stuff. They came out okay though. #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity

I took some fancy photos of Arjac.

Back in 5th edition I had a whole army built around him, but I didn't have a model for him and I never finished painting a single Space Wolf. 😂 So it's awesome to not only have a proper Arjac but to have actually painted a model too.
