While awaiting delivery of gifts to wrap for my #HoHoHobbyVices2025 match, I thought I'd pop together an 'astropathic message' wafer to accompany them. MS Paint and Word ftw!

There are still a few bits to do, but I'm pretty pleased with how this Malcador Annhilator is shaping up.

Inspired by chatting with @edpaintskrieg.bsky.social about Solar Auxilia markings last week, I thought I'd pop some paint on a Dracosan Armoured Transport that I had kicking about.

Really chuffed to find out this afternoon that I scored a gold medal for my #ArmiesOnParade entry. It's been a rough few months, so it's nice to have a win for a change!

Entering #ArmiesOnParade for the first time ever today. Because there wasn't a lot of notice that it was happening, I decided to pop in my Wildercorps Hunters warband Quorle's Pathfinders, and their allies from the Castelite Hosts.

These guys are tricky to photograph, but I kicked off this week by painting up the bases of Kurnoth's Heralds.
I plan to add a little more foliage to their bases to help place them in the Spitewood that they're so determined to defend.

A little while back, I picked up this brilliant Tin-Borg sculpted by Kevin Adams from Meridian Miniatures and it seemed like the perfect mini to paint up for #Orktober 2025.
I like to think that it was built during Ghazghull's first invasion of Armageddon

Another wee palatte cleanser in the form of Roykius Chunca from @fenrisgames.com
Sculpted by the inimitable Kev White, Roykius is out to ensure that someone has a bad day, and he'd definitely prefer it wasn't him.

Still quite a bit to do with this pair of MS-06F suits l, but I'm pretty happy with how they're shaping up. Been taking my time on them as I really want to do the sculpts justice.

Continuing on from last week's #WIPWednesday I now have the basecoats blocked in on the two mass-produced Zaku IIs that accompany Char's custom mobile suit - best get on with working everything up now I suppose!

Not the most exciting #WIPWednesday post, but after a recent chat about the joy of painting bases with sculpted details I thought I'd have a go at Toll and Revenya's ones from the Cinderfall set and see if I can get them 'close enough' to Callis' one

I don't really 'do' 40k these days, but I managed to get my hands on the Captain Centos commemorative mini at my local GW this morning.
I thought I’d make a wee tweak to satisfy the nostalgia itch that wasn't quite scratched by the original sculpt.

Inspired by the news that Spitewood is inbound I'm back on the #WarhammerUnderworlds train for this week's #WIPWednesday with the Knives of the Crone.
With their bases done, it's time to begin blocking in basecoats.
