A friend gifted me a job lot of 90s metal miniatures that he got cheap off facebook marketplace. I’ve started to give them a glow up and I’m rather pleased how the first two turned out. #oldhammer #minipainting #wh40k
A 90’s metal dreadnaught painted in Dark Angel colours (dark green with red accents) armed with an autocannon and power claw. A 90’s metal dreadnaught painted in Ultramarine colours (blue with red highlights). It is somewhat battered with torn decals. A 90’s metal Utlramarine captian in blue and gold. He has a sideways mohawk in red and white. He is armed with a plasma pistol (painted metallic silver and red with a green plasma glow) and a powersword lightly glowing blue. A 90’s Ultramarine captain painted in blue and silver. He has a blue and white sideways mohawk.

+1 for Tiny Legend. They do great conversion kits as well as their own models. I did a Steel Legion Kasrkin Kill Team using their bits.
14 models for a Karskin Kill Team painted in Steel Legion colours (tan and grey) using bodies from the Veterans kill team and parts from Tiny Legends

Continuing my #epic40k nostalgia painting with a Mole, Termites and a squat Overlord. It was only after i got the borers that I realised they were an imperial unit rather than a Squat one. Looks like I’m collecting 2 armies then…

Seven Epic 40k models a mole on its carrier, 3 termites on their carriers and 3 termites breaching. All painted in Steel Legion colours. A trio of Epic 40k Termites on their carriers painted in Steel Legion colours. Side profile of an Epic 40k Mole on its carrier in Steel Legion colours. An Epic 40k Squat Overlord airship painted in modern Legies of Votann colours.

First model of the year done. Starting off with something I lusted after 30 years ago and finally got for Christmas this year - an epic scale Ork Great Gargant. WAAAAAGH!

This absolute terror of a nutcracker shrine was set up by my wife this year. That yoke in the middle is 5ft tall and apparently if she could get a bigger one she would.
