Just here to chill, and share some wargaming, and the occasional cat pic. Sometimes both.
One of my favorite #Oldhammer minis, the Wight King.

Finished painting this one right in time for the highlight of spooky season.

"Suspect was last seen roaming this vineyard. The city watch of #TraitorsToll is on it."

AKA not me showing off some new terrain I've built.

I found a Krieg army box and couldn't resist picking it up. The downside: I have a 2nd Dreir mini now.

So… why not go crazy and turn him into a Lord Solar proxy? Still a WIP, but I like how he's looking so far.

Oh wow. I got back into mini-painting just a few weeks before my country's first lockdown was declared. Lucky me, I guess.

The freebie sprue in WI452 inspired me to try painting 15mm miniatures for a change. Here are my first 20 Redcoats, eager to suppress the American Revolution.

It was fun. But one confession before I go back to my main projects: The sprue actually was a blue one. 👀

I know the camera is ever so unforgiving, but I think I consider these #TraitorsToll guards done and ready for battle.

Maybe I'll add some subtle weathering. Not too much though. It's a fantasy setting, they’re allowed to look pristine lol.

Happy #Caturday! For the past few days my male cat has been the one to keep me company while I worked on my minis. Apparently my cats are taking turns with inhabiting this box near the "hobby desk". I'd love to understand how this agreement is made.

8 hours' worth of hobby time later, and every Krieger now has decals applied to the shoulder pauldrons.

No more shenanigans with the transfer sheets for the next few days!

Years ago I missed out on the Indomitus box (probably to my wallet's relief). Today, I’m happy that I managed to get a copy of the Dawn of War Onslaught game.

Here's the first official guardsman of my 212th Death Korps Infantry Regiment.

A testing mini for the decals. The custom regiment number is a bit of an extra hassle, ngl. Worth it though.

Progress for my DKOK: Washes are applied, bases textured. Next up, my least favorite part: Decals.

Me & my wish for a custom regiment. The 212nd iykyk. Just replace one digit of the 262nd decal. Easy, right?

August 13 is International Left-Handers Day. As a lefty myself, I'm a bit surprised that this #StarWarsLegion fleet trooper officer is one of the few left-handed minis in my collection.

It's a nice distraction to step away from an army project for a few days, and paint individual minis instead.

Waitress and goblin by @weprintminiatures.com, beggar by HQResin. Some very characterful minis to add to #GuardsOfTraitorsToll.

Some WIP pics for my 1000 pt #DeathKorpsofKrieg army. I’m almost done base coating the infantry.

But it wouldn’t be the IG without some big guns. The Lord Commissar from the command squad makes for a good tank commander imo.

Trenches and crusades are big in the wargaming community these days… so everyone’s talking about the #DeathKorpsofKrieg and #40k, right? Right?

Yeah, bad intro. Anyway, I bought new minis. I’m still basecoating, but here’s a look at my first 27 Kriegers.

Me: How about you return to this long abandoned project? Only ten Scions and a Commissar. Should be quick to paint.

Also me: Why not build a few more minis first?

First day flying for our five fluffy little barn swallows. And after a couple hours they went right back into their nest. Looks hilariously crowded now, compared to two weeks ago. 😂

I’m in a bit of a painting slump. But I’ve bought a new gaming mat for #GuardsofTraitorsToll, and made a layout test using all the fantasy buildings in my collection. With all these Rohan and WHFB houses it looks very ragtag and rural, more like an outer district of Traitor's Toll. 😂

4 images and 4 words to describe your paint style

I put my #GuardsofTraitorsToll tokens into capsules, because I prefer the tactile feel over that of cardboard. It also makes them stand out.
And I bought two awesome freestanding bags from @bags4dice.bsky.social. They look excellent in purple, and are just right for storing and drawing the tokens.
