Painting your army is half the battle.

(If you’re into Warhammer Underworlds, I have a feed for you: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lthmre7bvdlohcyzndng63qu/feed/aaam6maiyggbm)
Nothing brings me more joy in painting than painting some goblins. Look at these cute lil gnoblars trying their best!

Played some more Underworlds last night and this time played somewhere with adequate lighting! Painting (at least the backs of) my models was worthwhile!

The new Space Wolves merch is actually quite tasteful? Only people in the know would realise that it’s 40K merch and there’s no symbols on it that could get you mistaken for a Nazi.

The lighting where we were playing last night was rather stark. Cool shadows tho.

Played by first games of Spitewood last night. The changes aren’t huge but certainly mix things up nicely. I hope this is the future of Underworlds – the occasional variant release rather than a whole new edition each year.

This might be my favourite hobby purchase ever.

I’ve had a tough day today… nothing world-ending but work, life, etc. each demanding 110% of my attention. Thankfully the day ended with me spending an hour painting some goblins and now everything feels alright again.

Would recommend Painting Some Goblins to anyone going through a stressful time.

It’s not quite spooky season yet but here’s my take on The Grymwatch for Warhammer Underworlds. I’m a big fan of the guy on the left who’s brought a lil snack (a dismembered arm) into battle.

More Warhammer Underworlds from me: Thundrik's Profiteers. I’d recently bought @thearmypainter.bsky.social’s John Blanche paint sets so I tried to stick to just those paints. In the end, the only extra paint I needed was a lighter silver. Big fan of Blanched Berry, will be using it a lot in future

I know I'm a total contrarian but the Kamandora's Blades sculpts don't deserve half the hate they got when they were announced. As @roguehobbies.bsky.social said in her video on them, the biggest problem was that these weird lil' goblins don't suit the studio paint style. I had fun painting them!

“If it falls in The Hole, it doesn’t count!” I shout as we roll off for the first time in the game.

And from then on, every dice that ended up in The Hole was a crit. 🙈🙈🙈

If you’re ever in central/east London The Arcanist’s Tavern in Hoxton is a lovely place to spend the evening and roll dice.

My six year old is furious that I’m making him leave the library before he’s finished reading every single book.

Shout out to whoever suggested using a glitter tray when basing models. Very handy, especially the funnel end designed to get the basing material back in its tub.

Burt Kwouk lived around the corner from me and there’s a blue plaque dedicated to him! A true Warhammer legend.

Rolled some dice for the first time in six weeks tonight. Would recommend.

I’ve always been peeved that central London lacks a decent wargaming shop. GW’s store is fine but it’s annoying having to rely on online shops every time you run out of a non-GW paint.

I’m so glad that Element Games have opened a shop here – and it’s stuffed with every paint range you can imagine.❤️

I’ve got Wednesday afternoon off work so I’m planning mini nerd tour of the west end.

If you ever feel bad about your miniature painting skills, consider these commercially available pre-painted minis from Wizkids.

Painting eyes is *hard*.

I've had to pack up my painting station for a few months (😿) and these are the last models I got to paint before I did so: Ylthari's Guardians for Warhammer Underworlds.

I love the whole Sylvaneth range. They'd definitely be on my list if I ever decided to play Age of Sigmar.

Absolutely no hobbying but I did see a chill Giant Salamander.

I saw this shop cat living its best life the other day.
