Captain Centos, my 2nd Ultramarine this year. A lovely mini to paint and I'm fairly happy with how he turned out.

Logan Grimnar finished and I’m quite pleased with the result . Still things I need to improve on, but happy with my progress after 9 months back into painting

This was a real slog towards the end but I'm happy with how (most of it) turned out.
It's a stunning piece and hope I've done it justice.

The Hospitaller - I really liked this little set piece. I've got an urge to paint 'The Triumph of St. Katherine' so I thought i'd paint this first to see how I got on.

My first ever competition entry. Gamesday 1987, Honourable mention in the Vignette Category. The figures/scenics are chipped and the resin looks so bad with age.
Should I try to restore it, or leave it as it is?

Another Space Woof! As I was painting it I realised that the last time I painted a Terminator Helmet was 1990..Yikes

I love the older Spacewolves Terminators. This one was a joy to paint.

I’ve wanted to paint Vellas Von Faine since I first saw the figure and I managed to snag all 4 Crimson Court figures on eBay. Not sure which one to paint next as they are all so cool

First figure of 2025.
My eyesight is a real problem (you can tell from the paint job) because I have astigmatism in my left eye. I’m having trouble wearing magnifying lenses or high magnification reading glasses as I also need to wear my prescription glasses. Getting old sucks #warhammercommunity

The Dwarf Mountaineer, a blunderbuss-wielding woollen-trapper-hat-wearing skiing Dwarf who is ready for snow-based action! First seen in White Dwarf 116 these chaps were as rarefied as the mountain air!

Oh hey, I found a thing when I was going through my storage.
Apparently once upon a time I made the grade (okay, the BRONZE grade, but still...)

It's OLD street cred, but I'm happy to have earned it.
A small bronze coloured statue of a demon with crossed arms, one hand holding a paintbrush. It stands on a small wood plinth with a brass plate that reads "Golden Demon Awards 1991" The underside of the plinth, where a small affixed sticker reads "Eldar Dreadn. John Z. Third P. Congrats!"

Finished this bad boy, a few things I'm not happy with so they'll get fixed over the next couple of days. I have to paint the Red Gobbo mini scene for my wife first otherwise I'll be in trouble.
