In between uni work I found a little time to update an Ork trukk I have had for over a decade!

My favourite Ork I painted for my #spacegits gang is this guy, tried a different skin tone and I think it came out well. He is such a fun model and my spirit-ork #orks #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #wargaming #nerdlings

#Orktober may be over but not in this house! Here is one of my Ork rockers for #spacegits and absolute joy to paint #warhammercommunity #wargaming #orks #heavymetal #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Try thinning some yellow down with a medium and applying that to the higher points. In recesses try a purple wash, that works for mine

Not the greatest shots but third and final gig of the year, all of them have been Wednesday 13, still an excellent show, couple of tracks I haven't heard live and was nice seeing Anabel again!

Been away a few days so no painting done, but here is Warboss Zagstruk as a #wipwednesday. Got his skin tones done before I left #orktober #warhammercommunity #orks #nerdlings #wargaming #miniaturepainting
Warboss Zagstruk, he has his sword raised and pistol in hand. He is currently just primed black but the skin tones have been finished, his skin is green

If these guys get more characters or if I use some Darkoath characters I could see myself doing a marauder army

#orktober is finally underway. This time the Ork lead 'singer' from a few years ago. I would have tried adding patches to his jacket but my freehand is awful #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #metalhead #orks #40k #wargaming

#orktober isn't going well for me. I lined up too much and suffered decision paralysis. I did finish up this drunk orc mini though, it's something at least! #orc #ork #d&d #ttrpg #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #wargaming
A passed out drunk orc, clearly had too much at the camp bonfire. They are in a buff coloured jacket, red pants and black boots

Late last week the Kickstarter models from @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social arrived, so last night and today I just had to paint Grumple and Blombor! They are ace, very fun to paint and bigger than I expected! #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #goblins #warhammercommunity #wargaming

This is Tilly, or Matilda on a Sunday. Her mum was rescued by an old friend's mum when she (the cat) was pregnant. So technically a rescue.

#orktober falls within my backlog month so I am working on repainting my old Ork army. I started repainting them a few years ago and they mostly hold up, just a few highlights on skin and weathering to do #orks #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #wargaming #warhammer40k

Not part of my backlog, but found these while digging through boxes. I followed @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social tutorial on Bavarian Thirty Years War pike and shotte units. While I know uniformity wasn't commonplace I used it so it reads better in game #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #historical

Still on backlog month. This time a quicker mini, a halfling hunter. I do love these single minis I can paint in a single session.

A unit of Epic Revolution British infantry. Quite quick to paint but doing too many in one go gave me a migraine #miniaturepainting #historicalwargaming #nerdlings #wargaming
