The venerable Rick Priestly once wrote an article about focus in ones hobby endavours (or something like that. Long time ago) were he renamed December to Month of painting Witch Elves. Inspired by that I have tried to schedule 2025 hobby wise on a monthly basis 1/13

I painted another commission for John Blanche, this time on of the new as yet unreleased figures for his upcoming game, En Garde. John supplied the base. The crystals glow in the dark so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a photography effect!

currently, I'll be honest, I'm not sure how to market these but they were so brilliant I had to add them to the catalogue
three models of flying devil rays - countershaded grey and white giant manta-like creatures with barbed tails that are flying at head height across a battlefield.

The Austrians won the cavalry battle but my French infantry brigades smashed through the centre before they could reorganise. Victory to Marmont. Black Powder at the club today.

Superb day yesterday when 6 of met up for a refight of Liebertwolwitz in 1813. Great to see @tomjmegan.bsky.social Prussians take to the table again alongside my newly minted Russians and face off against @jaje7406.bsky.social French. All rounded off with an excellent evening’s social! 👌

Urban tank warfare. You are a British tank commander. If you can’t see the Panzer IV ahead you are already dead 🙂

Warhammer Update: Finished up my absolutely unnecessary 6th retributor squad on a rainy and lazy day in LA. The group looks pretty good together.
The last heavy bolter lady I’m gonna paint for a while. Look at these weirdos 30 heavy weapon nuns, currently it’s only legal to take 15 in a game. My Sisters of Battle army, I’m running out of room.

My favourite mini in ages, a resin Tod the fox from @fenrisgames.com

A genuine joy to paint and he's so cute! Barely 25mm high but so much character. I dare you to paint him without going "Squee!"

Four pics of Tod hoping to pass his Sneak roll.

1/2
Tod the fox doing a sneak along the edge of a dry stream. He's a slightly rough orange with a white underside and tail tip. From this, his left side, you can see a left shoulder pad of leather armour and the short sword he is slowly drawing from its leather scabbard. Over his armour he has a thin black robe, belted at the waist, so he's dressed a little like a Roman auxillary. Rear view of Tod sneaking. You can see the small drop to the streambed, the light knapsack on his back, and the trimmed branches to his right, barely enough cover. Front right view of Tod, paws in the dried leaves as the base of those branches, pack strap over his shoulder and a determined look on his face. Front view, almost straight on. Eyes bright, shiny nose, and his right paw reaching for that gladius. If you look closely, you can see the leather scroll-pouch on his back, though whether that contains an important message or a piece of stolen loot isn't quite clear just yet...

I wonder if this old fella sparks any memory cells from you! A 1985 citadel adventurer miniature, a lesser seen dwarf mage/wizard with staff and spellbooks!

Sent gifted way from @docrods.bsky.social - I figured it was about time to give him a fresh lick of paint!

A dwarf mage. His blue robes frame a big white beard. He wears half rim glasses and carries a staff and two thick books.

The market in Traitors Toll has expanded significantly. Got these from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social, sadly only two in the box. The rest of the stuff is good but I’d have hoped for a few more stalls. At least I’ve plenty of scatter from the box I can use. #nerdlings #wargaming #traitorstoll
