I managed to get a veritable pile of 40K and WHFB terrain primed this morning, ready for painting when I get the chance. I’m looking forward to when I can fill a tabletop with these! (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/11/16/cac1e0fc-f0a8-4690-9deb-e0182dce5530/)

Nosfrogatu! My partner loves Dracula, and is coming up to the time of year she does her regular re-read, so when I saw this on Bluesky earlier this week I knew I had to get her a copy. (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/09/28/c8237bff-2652-4c55-a691-9fccce10cada/)

Did the thing I said I wasn’t going to do, then spent the weekend printing accessories for it. I’m amazed at how much this tech has moved on in just a couple of years; the A1 Mini is so far ahead of my last Elegoo printer it’s ridiculous. ( […]

Finally dipping back into a project I first started in 2021(!) - a small 40K Crusade project. Many more steps to go, but drybrushing and Xpress Color is carrying the day. All the black armour was painted in about an hour. ( […]

In a turn of events that will shock no one who follows me on social media, I have a new keyboard: a Lowfree Flow84. First impressions are fantastic. (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/08/27/e3d154c6-2360-421f-984f-1a9db12c3c89/)

An Adeptus Custodes Combat Patrol I managed to paint recently. It took me 4 months, but that was mostly due to burnout. If we put that to the side, it was essentially a speed painting exercise. Painted using the John Blanche sets from The Army Painter. #WarhammerCommunity

It's going faster than I thought, but I'm running into an annoying 404 error with the GitHub API, even though I have the exact same setup in another part of the API, which *does* work.

Step 2 is done - fixed my image posting API and personal iOS app. This was probably the bit I was dreading most as it meant untangling a bunch of cobbled together code and configuration

The new Deathrattle miniatures are really, really, nice to put together. I assembled everything in the box much quicker than I expected. Onwards to paint! (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/04/24/e71a891d-6cb7-4efe-84b5-8d717c3b9612/)

Starting to see some results from ripping physical media. Still got hundreds of discs to work through, but now it’s not just files on a computer. Jellyfin server + Swiftfin client is pretty awesome!

Sometimes long, dull, meetings are useful. Today I managed to finish building this unit of skeletons that have been on my workbench since… October. (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/04/02/a7dae276-7a9d-4da4-8736-0b892e6abd0e/)

Up next after the Knights are finished: “Project Smooth Brain” (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/03/07/04ae3d17-2869-427b-accb-4b5fc9eb2520/)

Another wee dude ready for priming tomorrow. The Combat Patrol rules in White Dwarf have me a blast of inspiration, so I’m building a bunch of these Armigers. I’m going to have at least 3 different pairings by the end of it! ⚔️ ( […]

5 minutes with 3 spray cans and this GW bunker is decent enough to stick on the table as-is. Pick out just a few details, like the lights, and it will look great. (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/03/01/a7ff0c9a-9990-4600-8fa6-286a557c565a/)

Can’t really do anything I’ve got planned for the day until the post’s been delivered, so I’ve basically spent the last hour staring out the window, even though it never comes this early

I’m quite happy with how this cape I painted the other day turned out. Especially for the relatively short amount of time spent on it. (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/02/22/4ab8d4a0-8d7d-445a-8df5-de770f4d29d0/)

It felt like a slow start to the year, hobby-wise, but I actually think I’m doing alright. I’d like to focus more on consistency this year than pure output, but if I can get to 100, that would be nice! (https://chrismcleod.photos/images/2025/02/19/1aadc4ae-2373-4320-b1f1-d0dc36ea8693/)
