I'm not really here to post, just to follow.
Reading books the way wrestlers watch TV screens backstage:

(2/2) The heads are a tiny bit big if you look closely, and as you can see I had to build them little sprue "necks", but all but the longest spears and largest shields work; just clip off the Warlord hand and glue on a Victrix one.

I finally found a use for all the spare heads and weapons that come with Victrix's Saxons and Rus: Warlord Games' armoured and unarmoured Saxons come as a sprue of just bodies and heads, and they sell them separately! (1/2)

There's another one, the Twaenhyr, that's even closer. I've only seen pics and I don't know if it'll ever make it to plastic, but it looks easy to kitbash! A lot of the Tractors seem to have callbacks to weird old tanks like these, it rules.

Background once again from a John Hodgson backdrop book, the webbing was made from some Halloween novelty broomstick ends, some of the "spooky netting" they also seem to always sell this time of year too, and some Woodland Scenics forest blend clump foliage.

Just finished painting up this lovely little Ailthean tractor for This Quar's War. I've not done a tank before, unless you count Tau Devilfish, but I was so excited to try scale modelling tricks on it like netting & weathering that I couldn't put it down!

Quar drive these goofy looking tanks called Tractors of various kinds, I could see a crew of rhyflers pootling around in one of those!

Just finished off this morning, a horde of #oldhammer zombies! For 2ndhand minis the poses weren't too goofy, and my experiment with a blue undercoat for the skin made 'em look nice and pallid. 1st background by @handiworkgames.bsky.social, props by @fenrisgames.com

My second crew of Stargrave minis - a gang of space spiders! Experimented on in a lab, where they developed super intelligence, their leader gained psychic powers from his brain implants, and led his fellow test subjects to swipe some guns & escape!

Now I have a proper camera on my phone, I'm going to start using my Bluesky to actually post pictures of the models I paint in my spare time. Here's all the ones I did on my week off for Silver Bayonet, Stargrave and Frostgrave. I'll post closeups with more detail over the coming week.

Mine came with a rabbit, and I think this makes them some kind of buddy-cop duo now?

Legit misread this as "in my inflatable genius", which would have also been good for the bit.
