Two little gun platforms for #horysheresy Glad to see that the paint scheme and weathering for the infantry holds up on a slightly larger model too.

Painting has been a bit slow lately. Did an experiment with painting black armour with a very dark blue. Looks good but I think I need to darken it down a bit more. Next up in the painting queue is either the start of my Anglo-saxons or the last of my Welsh, can’t decide 🤔 #paintingminiatures

I love it when miniatures allow me to make these little scenes that doesn't involve any fighting. Really bring the subject to life I think. #wargaming #paintingminiatures

For this weeks #wipwednesday I’m kicking off a #horusheresy project me and some friends have been talking about starting for a long time. I’m actually rubbish at finishing #warhammer stuff so we’ll see how far I get, the first goal is to complete one squad of marines during october!

I’ve been taking photos of the recently completed Footsore vikings this week. Really looking forward to base them up during the weekend! #wargaming

Anyone played these? Arguing when money talks: Der Söldner. They seem very interesting and unconventional, more like an rpg than a wargame. But I’m having a hard time figuring out how they actually play 😅 #wargaming

Doing some tests for muddy autumn/winter bases. Incredibly those leaves are pretty secure thanks to some gravel and sand fixer (which smells awful unfortunately 😅)

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Completed these just in time for #finishedfriday Really pleased with how they came out, much thanks to the great sculpts from Gripping Beast. Detail shots in the comments below 👇 #wargaming #wargamingterrain

Two miniature thatched cottages with woven fence connecting them - a pig pen connects them, featuring detailed weathered walls and moss landscaping.

For this #wipwednesday I am putting the finishing touches on the Dark Age buildings I’ve been working on. What’s everyone else working on?

This batch of Vikings (most of the Footsore KS) is done except basing. Planning on taking some photos of these first, both individual and the battle shots I like to do. More on that another day! #wargaming #paintingminiatures

Whoa, that's a very personal question there from the greatwargamingsurvey.com

A screenshot of a survey question asking me how many unpainted miniatures I have.

Hoping to wrap up the summer-project, napoleonic french, before heading back to work next week. Then I need to finish the shields for the vikings i finished before summer. Then its more vikings and saxons for a few more weeks! What’s everyone else plans for the autumn? #wargaming #paintingminiatures

I don’t know about this take on (most? some?) historical wargamers by a Warhammer-player 😅 #wargaming

Screenshot of a text:

One thing I’d love to see come out of this whole experience is the HH community taking a page from historicals players.
From what I’ve seen, historicals players tend to see their miniatures as consistent, but they play whatever rules suit the particular scenario they want to play. Interested in the Hundred Days? Pick a ruleset that’s about that. Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt? Different ruleset with rules directly suited to that locale. The retreat from Russia? Different rules again, to simulate the effects of weather.

New airbrush nozzle have arrived so work on the buildings have continued! Used some masking putty for the roofs. Worked really well, highly recommended! #wargamesterrain #wargaming

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

Small progress on the dark age buildings. Managed to damage the nozzle on my airbrush so have to get a new one before I can continue. #wargaming

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I’ve added some more bits and pieces for these before continuing with painting and basing. #wargaming #terrain

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Haven’t done much hobbying lately since I’ve been repainting my house. Maybe inspired by that I started working on some bases of dark age houses. Thanks @mondo4.bsky.social for tips on bending the fences (I might have overdone it a bit but it looks quite organic 😅) #wargaming

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Once a year or so I bring out my napoleonic miniatures. I look at them, I sort them, scrape and clean some of them and perhaps basecoat a few. But that’s it, I have only painted two units in my life. Maybe I’ll get some done this time 😅 Anyway, what’s everyone else #wipwednesday ?

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Been too busy lately to get much painting in but these are nearing completion! I know it’s a day late but that’s my #wipwednesday 😅 What’s everyone else working on? #miniatures #paintingminiatures

For #finishedfriday here are some minis from the first batch of Vikings from @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social Beautiful sculpts by Matthew Bickley, very fun but time consuming to paint. Shields are missing at the moment but I'll do all of the shields once the second batch is finished! #wargaming

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

This is why 99% of my miniatures are made of metal. I loathe clipping, scraping and gluing plastic miniatures. I know you have to do that with metal miniatures too but somehow it’s worse with plastics 😅 #paintingminiatures

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

A very early #wip for this weeks #wipwednesday 😅 Couldn’t resist these coupled with some bright metallic paints! What’s everyone else working on? #warhammer

Just a little close up for this weeks (very late) #wipwednesday I think it’s supposed to be Rollo and he is from @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social What’s everyone else working on?

Got so tired of painting furs I decided to clean and prep the next batch of vikings for undercoating! #wargaming #paintingminiatures

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Not sure what I’ve been up to these last weeks but I haven’t posted anything here for a while 😅 Still working on these Vikings, so many details so its been a bit slow but not much left now! What’s everyone else working on this #wipwednesday ?

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Here’s another photo of the burghers. And a behind the scenes-shot from a few weeks back that shows the setup.

Continuing with the Vikings from Footsore Miniatures. So many details and fur and capes on these I think they’ll take quite some time to finish. What’s everyone else doing this #wipwednesday?

Several partly painted miniatures on a workbench, surrounded by paint pots.

Burghers argue with a nobleman about how to conduct the attack at the siege of Kalmar in 1507. Burghers, unlike the peasantry, were expected to participate in the storming of castles just like the nobility. #wargaming #miniatures #miniaturepainting

A group of armoured 16th century soldiers stand within the siege lines and argue.

Andreas Efternamn @andreasefternamn.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

It’s #finishedfriday and despite being ill most of this week I managed to finish these units of Swedish 16th century city militia/burghers (or whatever the correct term might be). #wargaming #paintingminiatures #miniatures

Two units of Swedish 16th century burghers or city militia. They are armed with crossbows and one unit is waiting while the other is shooting.

Time to get started on these Footsore vikings that I was going to start as soon as I got them, which was in october 😅 #wargaming

Visiting friends in Falun so had to make a mandatory visit to the Falu copper mine. They had this neat setup of a peasant soldier's equipment from the middle to late 15th century. Not entirely sure about the sword and strange not to include a crossbow, but anyway, neat. #history
