Hi all, I'm Bjarni Dali, a miniature painter from the Faroe Islands, in the middle of the north atlantic ocean.
I paint miniatures, mostly #grimdark, mostly #warhammer.

Two little tracked trucks for trench crusade designed by @bjarnidali.bsky.social. One’s gonna be prizing for my current campaign so I did a church one and a stolen heretic one. I really love how they came out and I will never stop with stupid french ww1 camo!

Making @bjarnidali.bsky.social tiny trucks until the financial system collapses. Went more papal assault truck with this one, love how the chipping on the bed and rust came out. The stowage was v fun with tamiya, printed, and warhammer bits

Respoking the wheel of my 1:14 scale miniature motorcycle. I removed the printed resin spokes and used .8mm brass wire instead...

Three of my New Antioch troopers, next to the supply truck that I painted the cargo for. The crates and pallets are my own designs, while the oil barrel is from a Tamiya 1/48 kit.

I know, too many Heavy Infantry for any Antioch lists, but.....

This one is dual wielding flamers! 🔥🔥

He also received some battle damage, since I figured he would be at the forefront of the action.

The flamers are a freebie from "mrjarrrrr" on Cults3D.

My first diorama of 2025 (started in October 2024), finished earlier tonight. 😊👍

Miniatures by Westfalia, all other components designed and built by myself.

And there they are, the 2nd Armoured Cavalry (dismounted), defense of New Antioch, 1914.

I will definitely be painting up more infantry and engineers, as well as a Cleric for them, but this will most likely be my beginner force for games of Trench Crusade.

Today I painted the Lieutenant for my Trench Crusade warband. He is more weathered than the rest of the unit, to show his veteran status and give him a bit of backstory. I also converted his armour quite a bit, adding battle damage and changing a few of the armour parts. Good fun! 😊 #trenchcrusade

Finally, I have a heavily armoured Lieutenant for my French TC unit. I converted this one quite a bit, adding cabling, changing the chest armour, adding battle damage and lots of gear. I may add a small banner or cloth marker to him, to imply movement of air. #trenchcrusade #grimdark #miniatures

Almost done with my initial warband for Trench Crusade, just need to add the lieutenant now. Once they're all good to go I can add more details to them and work on the bases some more. 💀👍

Day five on the diorama, most of the major construction work is done. I need to replace the ground floor window, and start on the interiors, plus shutters for the windows.

Tonight's session on the "Lewis and Rex" vignette. Testing out the roofing tiles and assembling a mockup.
Tomorrow: Milliput and detailing stage.

Here is my most recent attempt at a tiled floor. Each tile is 10x10mm. The way I designed this set, there are lots of different designs which can be combined in different ways to make varied floors. I make 5x4 tiles from #milliput at a time, in different bluestuff moulds.

Today was a fun day, as I began adding base colours to the wall section! Most parts are just lightly stuck together at this point, to get an idea for how this is going to work, but it looks like I will soon be ready to make the tile for this beast of a build. 😄

Tonight's bit of painting, along with the colours I used. These days I am 80-90% onto Army Painter colours, but a few Citadel and Vallejo paints are hard to beat, plus I haven't run out yet... 😜

I'm really starting to see the goal for this build now. Tried two different roof types and decided to go with the simpler, flat look in this case. The corrugated sheet will not go to waste though. 😊
Hoping to finish the stonework and maybe the texturing tonight. #miniatureterrain #diorama

What is it that makes it easy for us to see the scale of some miniatures? To me, it is about adding items that the viewer will recognize, so a board can be scaled from knowing those parts.

These telegraph poles will help tell the scale of my current terrain project. #trenchcrusade #miniaturegaming

Added texture to the castle walls with the ti foil method, and printed these sandbags by #epicbasing for the build. It's all coming together! 😊👍

Over the last two days, I have been redesigning the WW1 era truck STL. This short, or "Courte" version has had the cargo bed shortened by 50%, it has new tyres, lights and a different bonnet over the engine as well.

Nexr, I need to figure out how to add a tarp to the cqrgo area, before painting.
November 27, 2024 at 10:26 PM
Getting close to done with this first supply truck, I added the tarp cover for the cab today, and got to work on iconography. The red and white marking on the side of the driver's cab is the unit marking for my in-game forces.

Did a bit of repair work on a printed 1/50 scale truck today. A rear wheel had a fault from the truck print so I redid the wheel, sawed off the original and pinned the new one in place.
A moment of zen, repairing a broken thing.

Since I needed a bit of variety for my scatter terrrain, I drew up a crate for 32mm scale. I am planning on adding differently sized crates for other items as well.
The lid is separate, but fits snug.

Yesterday I doodled these images. They will most likely serve as page fillers for army lists or some such, but mostly they were just fun to do. Pencil and pen on paper.

If you would like to use them for your own, personal projects, feel free. If you want to use them commercially, please credit. 😊👍

Today, I put together this truck for Trench Crusade and other WW1 era games. It was made by combining a nice design from Thingiverse with a balsawood flatbed that I built from strips.
Just aome nice relaxing zen building. 😊

More work on the broken wall section for #trenchcrusade, this was set up mostly to see whether all the individual parts would scale well. I was very happy to find that the blockades from MrJarrrrr scaled well with the barber wire posts from EpicBasing.
