Breaking the Lore, Breaking the Lore!... Here's an interesting little conversation starter from the crazy 80s 2nd Edition Blood Bowl. What's going on here? 😄 #OldHammer #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer #Orcs

Beautiful job. I love the human style eyes.

Some still photos of the Night Goblin. This is my first (and only) attempt at NMM. Looking forward to trying again once my brushwork is better. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer #OldWorld #NightGoblins #Goblin #CitadelMiniatures

No, I made it using an old Rogue Trader era bolter and a broken drill bit from a pin vice.

Thank you. I'm really glad I've got them to work on, I'm not as big a fan of the modern ork miniatures.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

He's a great mini. Luckily for me, my Dad put all my old stuff into the loft and I was able to dig it all out last year. I've over 2 dozen of these old guys to repaint.

One of my favourite Space Orks, a late 80s, early 90s Runtherd. The right arm with choppa is from a modern sprue, modified with Green Stuff to fit the older style. This is another fantastic sculpt from the incredibly talented Kevin Adams. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer #Orks

It does indeed, another really interesting miniature.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

The was a warband called "The Brood" released the included this model. At the same time there were a few Chaos Orks released, I have the Choas Champion. I've used modern arms on them (left arm on this one) but they need a lot of trimming as the old models a much smaller and slimmer.

A 360° view of my Ork Genestealer Hybrid Freebooter. The model was released back in 1990 and is a 3rd generation hybrid... wish they had done more of these. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #Warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #GamesWorkshop #Orks

The models themselves, being so interesting, encouraged me to look into the more modern techniques and really concentrate on my brushwork. Hopefully I can keep improving, a pair of +2 reading glasses have already proved to be a game changer!

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Thanks. I wanted to create a unique look to combine the two charactistic skin colours of both races and thought this might work.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Thank you. I totally agree and, thankfully, I've quite a few to work through.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Thank you. I painted this after watching Duncan Rhodes "two thin coats" video.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

I like it, really suits him 😄

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Another old miniature from my collection, and quite a rare one. This is an Ork Genestealer hybrid Freebooter, with some minor conversions, including arms from an original Genestealer trimmed and fitted to the model. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #Ork #Genestealer

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Thank you. Made the drill from an old bolter, turned out OK.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Thank you. This was my first attempt at creating my own ork skin recipe and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.

010

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Thank you. I just love how much character these old orks have, I'm putting a lot of effort into learning all the techniques to do as good a paint job as I can.

010

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Thank you. Like a lot of these old sculpts, he was much to cool to leave unpainted, so I put a bit of extra effort in.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

This was the first ork mini I painted after getting back into the hobby... old Rogue Trader era "space" ork Painboy with Goff backplate and custom made drill. #OldHammer #Nerdlings #GamesWorkshop #RogueTrader #MiniaturePainting

I haven't played in a very long time myself, but my son is interested in playing a game with me to try it out. I agree with you about the minis too, same with Rogue Trader era "space" orks.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

That's really great to know, thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

It certainly seems so, I'll have to post my progress much more regularly.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Yes, trying to stay faithful to 2nd Edition. I'm going Warhammerers. Some are already painted, back in the late 80s, early 90s when I was a kid. I'll photograph them, strip them and redo them. It'll take a while, but will be worth it... hopefully pick up a Death Roller during the process too!

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Thank you. I'm really taken aback by the attention this post has got... and somewhat humbled by the support.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Thank you. I really love these miniatures, I've my old dwarf team to paint next!

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Thank you. Really enjoying get back into painting and giving my old miniatures a new lease of life.

St.Calann @apolloesque.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Thank you, I'm really enjoying bringing these old guys back to life.

Some of my recently painted Kev Adams 2nd Edition Blood Bowl orcs, released back in 1988...
