This is my account for my painting and collecting wargames miniatures, as I don't want to "mix the streams". No time for racists, homophobes, transphobes.

Also the anniversary of Balin being taken out by an orc sniper. Big day for #nerdlings
On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

My Ostermark mercenary warband, The Gilded Swine, flexed their muscles at an all day event in Newcastle the weekend. Here they are about to get minced by an undead warband playing the Street Fight scenario. Only one henchman failed to survive the post game so no harm done.

Sometimes you just need to launch speed paint onto some metal to get the ball rolling again.

Hobby brain switched from painting minis to scratch building terrain last week. I've got a ruined house and tower ready to be primed.

I only found out about the Tripartite Indenture a couple of weeks ago, which I found surprising for the amount of time that I spent in Alnwick as a child en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripart...

Here are a couple of miniatures from The Egyptian Unit for #Silverbayonet. Although I love that the versatile Sci-Fi backdrop book can be used for Egypt, I'm looking forward to having options.

Painted this marvellous wendigo, my first #moonstone figure, a few weeks ago. Then he waited patiently on my table until I got around to putting a twig (log) on his base for him to crawl over.

My take on Ursa from #Predator "Killer of Killers". Mainly Frostgrave parts, with a couple of 3D printed shields from etsy.

A year since I took some viking minis to Lindisfarne for the anniversary of the invasion in 793.

After literally decades of wondering what to put on the shields of this Regiment of Renown I was struck by inspiration today. Mengil Manide's Dark Elves now have flayed skin nailed to their shields, using @peachytips.bsky.social masking tape method for cloth youtu.be/JJ0cOFKpto4?...

@ashbarker.bsky.social After yesterday's patreon hangout I'm determined to introduce my kids to Dark Tower... if it still works when I put the batteries in.
