Aspiring wargamer, one day I will find some time...
#MiniaturePainting
I like your colour variations on the stones there.

Looks great!

Certainly I don't drybrush space marines, but that might be a skill issue (I'd perhaps do a better job now than last time I tried).

Tangential: I got a good look at the original RTB01 box photo marines in the summer (at Wargames Foundry near Newark), they were _definitely_ drybrushed!

Nice work 😃

I haven't been brave enough to paint the chapter insignia on mine yet 😐

Not finished, but painted enough to put on the table last night.

I'm not sure if the melta gun guy will balance on anything but the flattest surface...

He'll be table-ready-ish at least by tomorrow.

I was trying to get away from the classic "power glove too heavy" look. Ideally there would be more of an angle in the right elbow but I wasn't going to try and mod that.

You're probably right on the Humbrol. The odd thing is that Dettol seemed to strip it to a degree, and those that I've overpainted with acrylic seem to strip completely in Dettol.

The blue ones originally belonged to my school friend Greg, but I also aquired some cream sprues in the distant past.

OK, Turkey Man is much bigger than I assumed...

Amazing how much motivation an upcoming game is, isn't it (just working on two marines for Friday myself)?

Nice work btw 😀

Beautiful work!

I also need to get more of these guys once my painting backlog reduces slightly.

Lovely work 😀

Great looking ogres 😃

Clever 😀

Incredible piece!

Colt Stoner got a yellow canister on his pack to tie him in with my Irn Bonce

These guys are done (finished yesterday but I wanted them varnished before I photographed them - shiny blues 🤨)

Going with grey and greens as I want a vaguely coherent paramilitary look.

I really need to work on my cloth technique, the middle guy was _so_ painful 😕

Browsing your feed to see where the cool scaffolding/platform scenery is from 😀

I don't think asbestos was put in, its just that talc is mined and might be contaminated (both form under similar conditions).

I think that the fault was in not warning about the danger once it was understood.

Looks great!

I've been thinking about my terrain needs recently and this gives me some ideas. 😀

Back on to the space dwarfs.

Need to get these finished so that I can return to painting marines by about Tuesday.

Did not know about that kit before, so thank you!

And nice chariot 😃
October 16, 2025 at 7:58 PM
I'm envious! 😯

Although I already have more stuff than I can paint... 😟
October 15, 2025 at 1:42 PM
Some classic skellies in there, and a Mikael Jacsen! 😃

Third edition WFB had this as Steal, renamed in Warhammer Armies to Parasitic Blade (and points cost reduced from 25 to 10!). Lasted for the remainder of the game.

Second ed. had Strength/Toughness/Initiative Drain weapon abilities, these only lasted for the following turn

But they did get to play with some goblins.

Good learning experience, got two games in and hopefully more correctly follow the rules the second time around!
