My Warmaster Army after a few months. I'm a slow painter especially because it's my first time working in 10mm.

Mods for Paradox games are either power fantasies about the developer's personal ideology or this.

Lizardman infighting, very sad to see 😭😭😭

My first unit of imperial handgunners stands ready! Need a name for the pup though!

A large number of 3D printed figures for Warmaster

First Warmaster mini painted and many lessons learned. Namely that I need better quality tiny brushes...

As my older wargamers have said many times, get into smaller scale games while your eyes are still good!

3D printed (by a friend) Warmaster troops!

Still trying to decide which Imperial province these lads will be from

From box to battle ready in about 5 hours last night (wanted to leave time for the glue to dry between steps)

A tank factory at the high water point of production could probably make one of these in less time.

Played my first ever game of Flames of War yesterday.

The attacking Afrika Korps (me) was torn to shreds by some well placed Lees, especially after they managed to get back in their tanks after sustaining damage.

This game is definitely going on my "future projects" list.

Happy Birthday to American legend John Brown.

Born in Connecticut on May 9 1800, he was a tanner, fervent preacher and one of the most famous abolitionists. In his later years, he and his sons led raids on slavers and he died in 1859 trying to capture arms for a slave rebellion in the South.

I do historical miniatures but doing super fine details on armor or uniforms scares me even if I have to do it dozens of times.

Here's an Austrian Hussar and here's his equivalent I made in 12mm.

I have 15 more of these to do 😭

@tankgorl.bsky.social I didn't know you were on here rate my Pershing model
April 19, 2025 at 11:17 PM
Hussars have won out!

Working on the 12th "Palatinate" Hussar Regiment.

The grey I used for their coats is much lighter than I thought, but the bright blue pants should help them stick out.
It's my first one so hopefully the other models will be much cleaner.

Some black powder epic battles from Warlord.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit the birthplace of Major General Maurice Rose - commander of the US 3rd Armored Division, who passed 80 years ago on March 30 1945- in an ambush while traveling outside of Paderborn.

Here it is - a muddy, battle ready M26 Pershing. No metal dings yet but as she fights I'll add them on.

Model is from Rubicon. Huge thanks to @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social for their US vehicle painting guide.
March 25, 2025 at 4:20 PM
This damn cold will make me miss the deadline so screw it.

I'm working on an M26 Pershing. I'm hoping to make it a centerpiece of my minis so I'm taking extra care in painting.

Not done yet of course. Still need to do plenty of weathering and decals.

Playing hooky...

I like to do all my epic scale painting on the frame so I end up doing both sides of everyone or else I think I missed something from last night! 😆
March 1, 2025 at 1:10 PM
There will also be the matter of a bolt Action campaign I'll be part of for the next few months.

I'm not playing as the Americans, but here's some GIs I painted last spring.
February 20, 2025 at 5:37 PM
Unfortunately I haven't been painting as much as I'd like to. But enjoy some horses.
February 20, 2025 at 1:04 PM
Cavalry coming in for Black Powder Epic Scale.

Hungarian hussars are nothing to mess with!
