Time for a rare non-hobby-related post! About a week ago I picked up my dream car: a 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. She’s not new, she’s not perfect, but she has a supercharger and a six speed, and she’s mine. #shelbygt500 #mustang #manualtransmission

Man, what a difference matte varnish makes! I was waiting for the oils I used for weathering to dry before so I could varnish and get back to work on this Death Guard Rhino. Just needs some details and some verdigris and it will be ready for the battlefield!

Another group of gross bois done, this time Plaguebearers of Nurgle. #deathguard #nurgle #nurgledaemons #warhammer #paintingwarhammer #maggotkinofnurgle #nerdlings

It’s not “done” done, but I need to take a break from it for a bit. My Chaos Knight Despoiler is fully magnetized, which was an interesting challenge in itself. It was a lot of fun to paint, but man that is a lot of surface area! #deathguard #warhammer40k #chaosknights #nerdlings

Progress on my Death Guard Knight Despoiler! The pictures kill the depth, but the sponge and stippled layers of metallics look way better in person. Next up, time to get some color on those big ass panels! #deathguard #warhammer40000 #paintingwarhammer40k #nurgle #nerdlings

Finished up this squad of Deathshroud Terminators. My army of stinky bois grows!!! I need to take some proper pics with a black background and good lighting at some point. #deathguard #warhammer40000 #paintingwarhammer40k #nurgle #nerdlings

Finally getting my Nurgle-ified Knight Despoiler painted up, starting with priming, which took hours. Totally worth it, but dang! Doesn’t help that I fully magnetized it, so lots and lots of parts! On to airbrush base coat tomorrow.

WIP of this month’s big painting project, my kitbashed Death Guard Defiler. Got most of the green panels base coated with Pro Acryl Dark Yellow Green after I air brush base coated most of the Defiler with VMC Magnesium.

Adorable pictures of Potato the axolotl and the squishy axolotl that @verdantsculpts.bsky.social made. Potato is a very photogenic lil guy.

Yeah, the go magnetic trays are really awesome, hold well, and are a lot easier to get out of my transport boxes than individual minis.

Here, have some emotional support Nurgling wips. #nurglings #nerdlings

I have been participating in the Independent Characters podcast Hobby Progress Challenge for the last few months. It has been a HUGE help in keeping me focused and motivated to get my Death Guard army painted. This month I am working on my Biologus Putrefier, Foul Blightspawn, and ten Pox Walkers.

Ooh, I have gotten way behind on posting my mini painting work lately. Here, have a progress dump!
