Mainly using this for musings about tabletop wargaming or pics of things I’ve painted, but may get distracted and start talking about something else every so often too
Currently enjoying one final listen to Last Christmas before Whamageddon goes live in just under seven hours

Important work meeting via Teams? Cue the tactically ironed shirt- sleeves and top half of the front. Don’t need to bother with the rest of it!

Next wave of Gitz arrived in the mail today. The race is on to get them built and primed before the cold snap properly hits!

Bit of a closeup of Droggz…

Autumn is a time of dampness. Perfect for growing mushrooms. Which in turn seems to attract some Gloomspite Gitz to my painting table…!

Have decided to bite the bullet and transfer some citadel paints to dropper bottles. Any hints or tips to make life easier for myself will be gratefully accepted!

Away for an Age of Sigmar tournament but decided to unwind before heading to bed by finishing up some Dwarf Warriors for #Warmaster. Love seeing the massed ranks of these little dudes!

Amused this evening by the massively varying scales I paint at. Age of Sigmar/Blood Bowl? 1:56. Warmaster? 1:180. Dropfleet Commander? 1:9150.

Just received my first set of God Hand nippers. Genuinely night and day compared to my old cheap ones that I’d been using for several years now. Have just sat for a good five minutes clipping things off sprues in wonder at how smooth it is!

Some details on the plant life and black rims, and just like that they’re done! Incredibly pleased with how these have turned out.

Now to paint the minis to go on them!

Basing project phase 11- after a slight pause for some paints to be delivered, normal service resumes with some UV resin streams on a couple of bases for some variety and interest.

No picture for basing phase 10- repeated applications of greens and browns. Washes, glazes and some outright painting in a quest to achieve both a messy blur between the main colours but also clearly defined areas of colour that pop so it doesn’t all just merge together when on the table

Basing phases 8 and 9 complete. The Process was Trusted and after a black prime with a white zenithal, followed by some rough airbrushing in of brown and dark green inks with some grey patches, I begin to be hopeful that maybe I’ve not ruined them all!

Basing phase 7 was a coat of varnish to seal everything down.

Basing phase 8 next. Also known as Trust The Process 😰

Basing phase 6 tonight- vegetation! Tufts, tufts and more tufts. Plus judicious application of trimmed aquarium plants for a bit of variety.
September 25, 2025 at 10:37 PM
Basing phase 4 (vines and roots) complete, we now move on to phase 5- grass and leaf litter.

Loving seeing these come together, although we are rapidly moving towards a fairly big “trust the process” moment which is kinda terrifying…

Basing phase 3- sticks and stones
September 23, 2025 at 11:26 PM
New project on the painting… well, on the basing table is currently more accurate. Trying something new (for me) here- phases 1 and 2 are cork for some elevation followed by mud texture to smooth the gradients and tie it all together

On to game 3, which was a mirror against Douglas’ IDK. MVP was my tidecaster who held off a unit of eels- took a single wound then spiked and did 12 damage back! Managed to lift his turtle quickly as well and got a clear victory to finish the day on 2-1 and 6th overall. Happy with that!
September 20, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Game two was against Craig’s Cities of Sigmar- 3 cannon and 3 Command Corps. Launched everything into him with a double turn… and bounced. Lost that game, as expected!

Fun one-day tournament there today at Capital Punishment. Game one went according to plan against David’s Slaves to Darkness. Played cagey and fed him sharks, returning them on his home objectives while tying up his Varanguard for a close victory.
September 20, 2025 at 6:48 PM
And with the rims freshly painted black, I’m calling this Incarnate and accompanying Tendrils finished. All ready to come out and play at Capital Punishment next weekend!

Doing some model surgery tonight to reattach the *THREE* eels which came off their flight stands during a single game on Wednesday. Hoping they stay put for the duration of next Saturday’s tournament!

My wife did the Moonwalk (overnight walking marathon) at the weekend; I took the kids to meet her at the finish line with motivational signs they had made on A3 card. This was my son’s rather minimalist approach! 😂

Apparently I don’t “just dip in” to that one WhatsApp group chat as often as I thought… and this is just new messages since May!
