Flat inspections are a rubbish way to start a Saturday, but a delivery of cracking resin scenery from @fenrisgames.com means the afternoon will be much more entertaining! #wargaming #miniaturepainting

A poser for the #Oldhammer lot. I have a bunch of 1990s High Elves to paint up for Dragon Rampant 2nd Ed. Should I base them on MDF bases (more space for models & texturing)? Or is that the behaviour of a real deviant and old-school slottas would be better? #wargaming #dragonrampant

Trying something a little different for #tolkienreadingday this year. Hopefully knowing the story will help with all the gaps in my vocabulary! #hobbiten #thehobbit #norwegian #norsk #boknerd

My banna wava is complete and now Da Kommittee is ready to lead Da Revolushun to glory! The banner was done following @darcybonocreations.bsky.social's method for quick and effective dirty flags. I'm happy with how it turned out! #RebelGrots #wargaming #Gorkamorka #miniaturepainting #gretchin

For #WIPwednesday I'm back to my beloved Rebel Grots! This banna wava originally served as an ersatz Makari back in 3rd Ed 40K, paper flag and all. Now he's repainted for Da Revolushun! #RebelGrots #wargaming #Gorkamorka #miniaturepainting

Da Red Gobbo had his first outing last night in a quick game of #fistfuloflead. He performed surprisingly well, taking out the enemy leader with a well-aimed burst of autogun fire. Not very grot-y really! #wargaming #Gorkamorka #RebelGrots

While rootling around a village, the dromedary regiment manage to disturb a cranky goblin! He promptly shanks the officer and scarpers before meeting an ignominious end at the hands of a brave soldier and her trusty iron bar. #thesilverbayonet #silverbayonet #wargaming #shadowofthesphinx

My officer finally has a mount... Nearly! But it is ready for paint at least. #silverbayonet #thesilverbayonet #wargaming #ospreygames #napoleonics #miniaturepainting

A grenadier of the Garde du Directoire exécutif is ready to join my Silver Bayonet unit! I have, unfortunately, realised I quite like painting stripes. It's gratifying but risks slowing my glacial painting speed yet further. #silverbayonet #wargaming #ospreygames #napoleonics #miniaturepainting

I should really use this place more... Unrelated, but my Silver Bayonet unit is finally ready to combat the forces of Evil. Vile usurpers and tyrants will fall! Vive La Révolution! Vive La France!

I finished up another few hobgoblins for Frostgrave! Some tricky bits to paint on these, but there's lots of nice detail. I think I'm happy with the results!

Another mini completed for my Frostgrave warband! This time it's a hobgoblin shaman from Midlam Miniatures. Now I've got an idea of the colour scheme, hopefully I can be a bit faster with the rest of the gang...

Some amazing Viking runestones and petroglyph stones from @fenrisgames.com. The details are so crisp! I have several projects that could do with these, and now I just need to figure out which is first...

Some 10mm orcs and goblins for Frostgrave. This was my first time trying to paint large (well...ish) areas of white.

I should post one of those introductory posts, shouldn't I? I'm terrible at finishing projects, and have several on the go currently, but here are ones I've been happy with over the last couple of years.
