I paint minis. Sometimes I'll share real-world stuff that's important to me.

Be excellent to each other.

This one is from Adventure Time but gives similar advice. I try to take this to heart.

Well, let's continue assembling, shall we?

And the hobbying shall commence!

What's everyone working on this #WIPWednesday?

The Deathguard will be painted in a custom scheme, and the Angels of Death will be actual Chapter colors (but not Ultramarines).

#Miniatures #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #KillTeam
On the left is the Deathguard Kill Team, and the right is the Angels of Death. Deathguard have been zenithal primed with various brown colors while the AoD got the black to light Grey treatment. DG have been painted with a lime green contrast paint (2:1 Striking Scorpion : Bad Moon). AoD was contrasted with Levaidon Blue.

Yesterday was my cousin's wedding. I'm glad she finally got to have her day. But also I'm glad to have gotten my first tattoo (long overdue.. circumstance and money never worked out till now).

I've marked it as graphic because it's still fresh and there's some blood.
A fresh tattoo of the Tyranid army symbol on my shoulder. It's got a thin plastic film to protect it, and there's blood seeping from the tattoo underneath.

THANK YOU, @warframe.com ❤️

If any of my followers (or anyone who happens to see this) has any interest in both Warframe and doing art, this month is a great opportunity to sharpen those skills.

Say what you want about today's previews, but I'm most excited for the White Dwarf.

When's the last time "how to make scenery" was even *in* the magazine?

Is this blue too dark?
I feel like it's too dark. But I've already repainted this Marine twice.

#Miniatures #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity
My attempt at painting Crimson Fists Space Marines. The blue armor is supposed to be darker than Ultramarines, but I fear this is too dark. I'd rather not repaint this model a third time, so I'm inclined to call this "good enough" and paint the rest of the Kill Team like this. The backpack side of the same marine

AoS is 10 years old? No way...

Wait.. for real? Damn. Time flies when you're having fun!

So, if I were interested in building the 6 operatives (and *only* the 6 operatives), what would be the way to do so that won't break my wallet?

I beat the rain and primed the rest of the Kill Team Typhon box 😁
The remainder of the Kill Team Typhon box has been primed. Honestly, assembly and priming are my favorite steps of the hobby. I do enjoy painting too. But, it is always the hardest step for me to start. Stupid brains.

Progress Update:

I've assembled all of Kill Team Typhon and started priming it all. Included on my desk is several of my other projects I should be working on.

#WarhammerCommunity #Miniatures #Nerdlings
General Grievous stands in the back, looking at me in disappointment as he prods me to finish my damn minis. Scattered on my desk in front of him are the contents of the Kill Team Typhon box (assembled), a Tyrannofex, Biovore, and Zoanthropes. It all needs painted. I should buy more minis about it... 🤔

Now then.. let's see about making progress on some WIPs..

#Miniatures #Nerdlings
A desk with several WIPs. General Grievous is at the corner reminding me to finish the dang Gundam before moving on to anything else.. But my Tyranids are so cool! I must build more... and I guess the rest of that Kill Team box. 🙄

My desk of WIPs

#Miniatures #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #PaintingWarhammer
My hobby desk. After some cleaning and organizing, it still looks like trash. But, I've got a Tyrannofex, Biovore, Zoanthropes, and Raveners all waiting for paint. General Grievous stands on my desk, ever frustrated at my lack of focus, and constantly reminds me (in his own generous way) to get back to hobbying.

Progress was made on the Tyranid Biovore: head, legs, and tail chitin was painted in a rainbow pattern.
