He/him. I paint models and play games, I'm trying to get better at both. Talking for @ThreeTwoAoS.bsky.social, writing for @Goonhammer.com. Getting to grips with A(u?)DHD. Bi/pan 🏳️🌈
This weekend I’m at a narrative AoS event, @shadowcon25.bsky.social! I had to hurry him, but the Frazzlegit Lancer is going to be leading my Gitmob (aka the Sun Lovin’ Criminalz) on a mighty treasure hunt. What’s the treasure? We don’t know, but we could always use more sunmetal…

Hi folks, a bits box plea! I’m after some of this era of plastic wolf mounts, believe they were packed in with a variety of stuff. Don’t need the riders. Anybody got any kicking about? I could buy the Old World box, but hoping to find some for trade or cheaper before resorting to that! #Nerdlings

Shiny photos of my War Despot and Dominator Engine, painted in the scheme of The Forge Anathema from the new Helsmiths of Hashut release. Loved getting to paint these guys up for @goonhammer.com! The Tormentor Bombard and Infernal Cohort are on the way.

Sorry for the delay - apparently normal humans are in short supply in my cabinets, but here’s a selection of things of various sizes

Miao Ying the Storm Dragon arrives on the shores of the Old World, making the journey from Cathay to drive back the forces of Chaos. This was an amazing model to paint, and will be a great centrepiece for any Grand Cathay army #WarhammerCommunity #adwip #TheOldWorld #MiaoYing

Had a great time painting the new wave of Space Wolves for @goonhammer.com. All of the characters are amazing kits, but I think the Wolf Guard Terminators might be my favourite! They're really pushing my nostalgia buttons. #WarhammerCommunity #SpaceWolves #adwip

Every day I wake up and sit down to work and flip over my stupid little pomodoro timer. I spend my life in thrall to The Cube.

This was one of my faves from MPO - great composition, definitely inspiring me to put something similar together. I didn't get a chance to meet the artist thought - does anybody recognise it? #nerdlings

Incredible time at MPO on Bristol, what an event! Two days of top tier painters socialising, sharing their work, and building each other up. Very healing. I went in dissatisfied with my work and my submissions, hoping I might scrape a commended. I came away with Bronze in Standard for Droggz! 1/2

1-2 for game results, with three lovely opponents, but Droggz and the lads did bring their A-game and bring me home the painting 1st place, against some very stiff competition! Thanks to the WHW team and the competitors for a great day ❤️

Off to one day AoS at Warhammer World on Weds, bit of a last minute sprint to finish these Snarlfang Riders but it means 1,000 points of pure Gitmob will be taking to the fields of the realms! Usual invite to say hi if you happen to be there and see me #Nerdlings

And also starting to build a Black Templars Boarding Patrol, aiming to follow along with the Cult of Paint method. Removing all of the eagles and adding rivets, so it is going...slowly. Built guy will pull multiple duty as a Lt/Castellan/Judiciar, as required
