This account is solely for the hobby of mini painting. Going for a decent tabletop standard, something that looks good from a distance and didn't take forever.
Adding squealers to Ulix' crew, getting ready for a new 4th ed crew!

Started painting up my Ulix crew for Malifaux with the wild boars cause I was in the mood for some drybrushing. I'll base in bulk when the crew is done, but I need to get my hands on the title Ulix at some point...

Painted up a couple of British Shermans for a future 12mm Chain of Command Market Garden campaign. My freehand needs work and my knowledge of markings is poor, but they're the first vehicles I've painted in 15 years!

Another finished Rumbleslam wrestler. I love this dodgy looking ork.

Stalled out a bit there at the end, but I had a breakthrough with the skin and now I'm all finished on the Rumbleslam 2p starter set! It was great fun, lovely minis and the box is fantastic value.

Further work on the Heavy Pounders for Rumbleslam, now there's just a few fiddly bits to go like boots and teeth and eyes. Really enjoyed working on these guys, though the struggle with the skin was real!

Did some more work on my second Rumbleslam team, tried to smooth out the skin and bring a bit more depth of color in. I'm feeling good, time to wrap these boys up!
Just the clothes, boots, teeth and hair to go...

Let‘s get ready to rumble! I finished (except for varnish) the last wrestler from the Rumbleslam starter set. The Heavy Pounders ogre is now done. I gave him a reskin from the original art and made him a japanese ogre (Oni). I like him a lot. He now has definitely more character. 😁

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Kitty! 🥰
I didn‘t except so much reaction to my first post here, coming from IG I expected the algorithm to not care about #art or #minipainting !
Looking forward to discover some new artists🥰
Here‘s another mini by BiteTheBullet I painted to look like my childhood cat.

What a difference an hour of work makes. Did a wash of thinned Vallejo flesh tone, cut into the recesses with the midtones, glazed a fair few times.
The new picture is completely under artificial light and suffering for it, but in person the difference is huge.

The ugly phase is a real thing, right? I can fix this with glazes, right? 🥺

Skin continues to be haaaaard! 😭
But overall, I'm happy with where I've gotten to. Some weird chunkiness in the recesses that came from the wash, but so it goes, I've moved on with the pants and shirts.

Loving this sculpt, and happy with the scheme I've chosen!

The one constant in 40 years of Warhammer is change. The lore has been re-written innumerable times.

The folks complaining about one specific tiny change but not any of the myriad others usually are trying to hide their Xism.

"It's not that I'm Xist, but no to any change making it less Xist!"
It’s sadly common to hear that new stuff “doesn’t respect the lore” or “dilutes the setting”, but I’ve yet to encounter any definition of these phrases that amounts to more than “I personally don’t like these changes”

Dealing with some accumulated detritus in the house means unearthing old mini projects that never got painted.

Time to list them on the local marketplace for cheap!

It's a hard thing to do, but if you've got anything you haven't painted in multiple years, let it go.

@alignment-ink.bsky.social Why does this feel like something you had a hand in? 🤔
I am really proud of the face of my Imperial Space Marine Miku. 😊 At first I thought it would be really horrendous. I already printed a base and some bits for it. Having a fun idea for it. 😁 #MiniaturePainting #PaintingMiniatures #Warhammer40K #HatsuneMiku #Vocaloid #Nerdlings

I've loved these crazy little guys, but the Green Bruisers are done now!

For one piece resin models they were a pleasure to work with, deep sculpted and well defined volumes, everything flowed well.

Moving on the Heavy Pounders next!

And model 2 of 10 from the Rumbleslam starter box is done! Another super fun mini, I really enjoy how well the volumes on the mini were sculpted, nicely defined and flow brilliantly.

Definitely a starter set worth looking at!
