Finished my first little tyranid. He has three more friends waiting for paint :3
A warhammer miniature winged tyranid prime. The body is painted in a Color shifting greenish-purple while the claws are bright yellow. The carapace is dark purple with a striped pattern going into bright blue on the plate edges. He’s standing on a base painted like a metallic plated floor with a deep scratch on it like it was made by the tyranids front claw. His many eyes are bright yellow and he’s sticking out a long red tongue. The same tyranid seen more from the side. His wings are looking iridescent purple and this angle shows a better view of the blue tipped ridges on the creature’s back and the bladelike yellow horn on the frontal part of his plated head akin to a rhino.

Ah yes, “Prime-day”. The EC Box had been lying around unbuilt since my birthday in April, finally getting primed. Fighting the grey pile of shame little by little.
A hand in a latex glove holding an airbrush. In the background some Chaos dwarf minis are awaiting a coat of black primer. A dwarves war construct that resembles a bipedal mechanical ox is partially black in the process of being primed. An assembly of grey minis on a green cutting mat. There’s a whole bunch of emperors children still lacking bases, a partially assembled fulgrim with his wings and cape resting in the coil of his tail, the necromancer diorama which is this years warhammer+ mini, a cacophonist, Lucius and some space marines and tyranids belonging to the first couple issues of the combat patrol hachette subscription.

First part of Sand & Bones Spearhead terrain painted.
Terrain miniature on the painting table with a piece of paper underneath und paint pots in the background. Mini is the icon of nuhlamia, a statue bust of Neferata with some candles burning in the socket. The busts skin is a light greenish color with bronze aspects. She has a large crown and other adornments in a rich gold. The eyes are dripping blood. Slightly different angle of the same Terrain piece on the painting table with a piece of paper underneath und paint pots in the background. Mini is the icon of nuhlamia, a statue bust of Neferata with some candles burning in the socket. The busts skin is a light greenish color with bronze aspects. She has a large crown and other adornments in a rich gold. The eyes are dripping blood. The same terrain piece seen from behind. Her back is an opening filled with skulls here also filled with the same golden light that illuminates the candle crevices on the front. Don’t ask where the light is coming from in this case though, gotta be magic. Neferata’s crown from behind is adorned with, maybe stabilised or held up by a kind of cross seemingly made of vertebrae.

Going through some old clothes and my 10y old gave me a skirt she doesn’t want to wear anymore. Fits surprisingly well with my old leather corset. Guess now I start stealing HER clothes for a change. 😅

I hope it's helpful 🙏
Can we stop acting like joy has an age limit? If buying a stuffed animal, rewatching cartoons, using a coloring book, collecting cute stationery, or sleeping with a fuzzy blanket bringst you peace in this chaotic world, that's valid. The world is heavy. Bills are real. Burnout is constant. If something soft or silly makes it even a little bit lighter, let it. Being an adult doesn't mean you have to let go of the things that once made you feel safe or happy. We don't need less joy. We need more of it. Louder. Brighter. Unapologetic. Smile at the small things. Buy the plushie. Get the happy meal. Hug the pillow. Pick the pen with the glitter ink. You're not too grown. You're just tired. And you deserve softness too.

Made a little wagon for my players‘ DnD party to ride on. Planning to just buy two little plastic horses for the carriage, hopefully toy store will have something to scale.
A miniature carriage made from wood and a piece of linen to cover the inside of the wagon. A 28mm base paladin miniature is standing next to it to visualise scale. The carriage is about two bases wide and 4 long. The wagon-cover has a little square brown linen-patch on the side. View into the wagon from the side, the miniature is placed on the drivers bench. The cover has been taken off and the panelled sides of the wagon look like worn wood patched with some additional wooden planks tacked onto them to fix damages. View from behind the carriage shows the linen cover flaps slightly open, one side is stitched so it permanently has a little triangular flap peeling away from the middle to look more dynamic and offer more of a glimpse inside. Top view of the carriage without the cover shows the inside wagon has some wooden planks as flooring while the left and right side are extending up higher to hold the cover up.

Hair is still much too long due to my inability to find someone to chop it off for me but at least it’s green again. Feels more me, idk
Selfie made while sitting leaned back weirdly on a chair. The person depicted has an undercut with the long middle part being dyed a vibrant dark green. They’re wearing a black tank top and only the barest hint of a smile.

Our group’s kobold artificer the moment I introduce a female Dragonborn npc to the party…

Finished my first kroxigor for my seraphon collection. It was really fun to paint and the vivid colours are such a nice change to the plague monks I’m also working on. #warhammer #aos
A kroxigor miniature. It’s a giant lizard holding a heavy club made from gold and some blue rock. His scales are a shiny blue over dark purple shadows on the recesses. The figures chest is painted in vivid pink and yellow vaguely reminiscent of a sunset. The base he’s standing on is adorned with some greens like ferns. A closeup of the kroxigor‘s base where a small green frog is sitting under the fern. He seems to be giving the viewer a bit of side eye.

Needs some Milliput but after murdering the models and frankensteining them together I‘m happy with the direction so far :3
The upper body of a grey seer model stuck onto the leg-portion of a clawlord on gnaw beast. The model is clearly a work in progress with some grey portions visible where the models didn’t 100% fit together. It’s primed black sitting on a dark brown tabletop. Some colours and other hobbying-clutter is visible in the background. The same model as before but seen from behind. It’s photographed in a way to hide the parts around the hips where the parts are haphazardly spliced together.

Bought a prebuilt and primed skaventide box-part because I want to try and sit a grey seer on a gnawbeast (thinking of an anvil of apotheosis hero) Now contemplating were to best cut apart and stick together these guys, moulder style 🫣 or is the idea really bad/not worth it?
Two skaven miniatures primed black. It’s the clawlord on gnawbeast and the new grey seer model side by side on a brown tabletop. In the background are some blurry jezzails and a rat ogre.

Finished the warlock bombardier that spontaneously made it into my possession after the last visit to the warhammer store. Such a fun little model to paint.
A miniature skaven ratman holding a musket like gun into which a rocket contraption was crammed. His mouth is open and his visible eye is glowing green. Under his foot some small brown rats run out of a sewer pipe. The robes under his iron breastplate are purple, raggedy strands of it seem to be fluttering in the wind behind him. A contraption on his back is sparking green lightning and emitting an evil green smoke from an exhaust pipe. The same skaven rat man as before seen from behind, his tail is turning a little red wheel on his mechanical backpack. There’s a lot of small pipes connecting ominous tanks and gauges on the contraption. It has an exhaust pipe on top upon which a small grey rat is raising its snout to the sky.

Thanks to my very patient partner sticking the broken mini back together I took yesterday evening to paint the Dragonborn for my daughter. I like how the cloth on her armour came out. Still curious about the replacement I ordered. Until then this is Aliz. Her axe is borrowed from our warhammer bits.
A Dragonborn miniature in iron armour with a giant axe in one hand and a shield in the other is standing in front of some ruin terrain. The weapon and shield are more of a copper colour. There’s some grass among the rocks around her feet. She’s striding forwards with one leg off the ground. Her scales are bright goldish/brass Color with blue elements. A red cloth is tied in with the armour around her hips. The same Dragonborn miniature as in the other picture but she’s turned away from the viewer to better display the red cloth fanning out a bit behind her. It’s shades in dramatic hues of red contrasting heavily with the green grass at her feet and the blue of her “hair tendrils” at the back of her head.

Painted a small mage for my son to use when we play DnD. Sadly I dropped the dragonborn mini for my daughter (twice 😣) and it broke. Will see what can be salvaged but already ordered a new one from Etsy. Hopefully a better print, I wasn’t too hype on the quality here anyway tbh.
A mage miniature in orange and blue robes stands in front of a ruin corner he’s casting a bright blue spell that appears circular on his hand and might be shield. It seems to cast some blue light back on his robes and the floor on front of his feet. His other hand holds a wooden staff. The blue trim of his robes has some flecks of gold. His eyes are also glowing in a blue tone underneath his orange hood. On his belt are some small things like a satchel, a red potion bottle and a birds skull.

Put the leftover seraphon spearhead troglodon parts on a nice little 3d print body I got from Etsy. Also continued finally painting the terrain some. Is nice seeing stuff come together 😌
View of a table full of miniature painting hobby stuff. In the foreground are two unfinished terrain pieces (L-shaped walls) and a big reptile leaning against one of them. It’s lacking a base and is basecoated in black and grey though the head has been painted in bright colours as a test-scheme before sticking it on this body. There’s lots of little color pots and paintbrushes in the background.

Spending the weekend painting some little guys. Trying to get through the primed minis like I don’t have like 1k points lumineth and an army of lizards waiting for paint. 😅
View of a table corner with pots of citadel paint and and an almost finished vampire mini perched on a pillar in the center of the image. Two more of the set are visible in the background already painted. Their skin is a soft violet shade and the center figure has vibrant green hair. All three are armed with sideswords they’re brandishing menacingly. A group of 6 ghoul-like miniatures. These are from the warhammer underworlds flesheater courts set. Their skin is sickly green and looks inflamed in places. The center figure is carrying a huge axe while another is armed with rusty hooks. Yet another swings a giant humerus bone as a club. In the background one is eating a human arm. They all look quite dirty and bloody.

Spontaneously ordered a dragon mask from Etsy the other day and today I painted some eyes for it. I really like where it’s going, feeling cute. :3
A 3d-printed dragon mask lying on a bed of packaging pellets, the eyes are big empty holes. It’s dark with a purple glittery shimmer. The same dragon mask being worn by a person in a black hoodie, the hood is up behind the mask. The eye holes have been closed with black mesh. Eyes in a blue fading to pink have been painted on the mesh.

Waren heut im Paunsdorf Center :3
Foto eines großen Plakat-Aufstellers im Paunsdorf Center Leipzig. Darauf steht "Kinder-Tag auf 4 Pfoten", es wirbt für eine Foto-Aktion mit den Charakteren der Paw-Patrol. Auf der rechten Seite des Plakats hat jemand das Bild des Kindes das abgebildet war per Photoshop gegen ein Bild von Nina und ihrem Hund aus Fullmetal Alchemist ersetzt.

Painted a little white and red stormcast eternal from one of those warhammer heroes boxes.
A warrior miniature in white armour with red and gold details. She’s wearing a white mask-helmet with a big red plume and has red marks like tears stream from her eyes. She’s brandishing a spear at the camera, holding a shield in the other hand.

All my birthday presents this year somehow adding up to my grey pile of shame. So looking forward to building and painting 😍
Several boxes of warhammer minis sitting on a table. There’s a champions of slaanesh army box, the lumineth realmlords spearhead for age of Sigmar, hurakan wind chargers, a scinari enlightener and Lyrior Uthralle for the same faction and a skink starpriest already built on top of one of the boxes.

Extremely slow going painting up the miniatures for the #warhammer quest „Cursed City“ box. But everything is primed and I put a kitty into still wet mud today.
A miniature of a an undead cat. It is dark brown showing patches of missing skin and bone underneath. The base is still wet and not finished at all.

Testing out the color scheme I want for my Seraphon spearhead on the spare troglodon head.
A very colorful troglodon head (eyeless lizard monster) with a very bright top part in a gradient from purple (bottom) to sunny yellow on top. Under the throat a black line separates the brighter gradient from a blue and black starry galaxy theme which is also mirrored in a fin on top of the head. Another angle of the head which highlights the starry galaxy part on the underside of the head. It’s also adorned with bright golden ornaments and a golden collar with feathers in green and yellow.
