Fun facts! American Jackalopes only mate during lightning storms, which really keeps their numbers down. They can be lured in with a bowl of whiskey at night as bait. Ronald Reagan had a buck-and-doe pair (mounted on his wall); I haven’t found a story about how he lured them in. 🧶 #crochet #cryptid

He has a grin so big you can almost ignore his festering lesion! 🧶 #warhammer40k #crochet #Halloween #art bloomxblight.etsy.com

A green crochet daemon with horns and a wide, grinning mouth. His long red tongue protrudes from his smile. A large needle-felted lesion and three small pustules adorn his abdomen. He sits in a moss-bedecked ruin.

WIP Genestealers. Lots of big brain energy. Can’t wait to get this army sorted out so I can get rolled learning to play them. #warhammer40k #GSC

Acolyte Hybrids. Lots of fun variations! Lots of mining gear!

Abominant, Benefictus, and an Aberrant. The noggins on these chaps are sweet!

Just blocking out base colors on a Rockgrinder. Lots of little details and clean up… then I’ll scuff it all up and rust it.

He's just a happy little guy! How silly is it that these guys make me feel like a proud parent? But they do--they are so creepy-cute. 🧶 #crochet #nerdlings #art

An olive-green crochet demon. He has white eyes, painted horns, an open, grinning mouth with teeth and a long tongue. His abdomen has an open wound on his stomach spilling intestines, and yellow sores.

Adopt your own little blob of joyful pestilence! Sporting a truly infectious grin and with lovingly embroidered details like a needle-felted abdominal wound, a pocket of exposed intestines, or delightfully disgusting buboes, these little guys are just so happy to be here! #halloween #warhammer40k

Four crochet amigurumi figures (L-R, green, olive, pink, green) inspired by nurglings from Warhammer. Each has a white eyes, a pair of horns, a big toothy grin and a long red tongue. They have detailed wounds and sores on their bodies. Crochet intestines hang from the abdomen of the pink one. The background art is a sci-fi ruin.

WIP terrain. Boy I love working on terrain. Picked up a modular set of stls a while back and I’ve never followed the directions. I just grab parts I think will look good and mash em together. Working on stuff like this is easy on my eyes and degrading is really satisfying. #minipainting #nerdlings

A piece of terrain suitable for gaming. It’s a blown out gothic ruin. It is constructed from a hodgepodge of 3D print pieces. It’s very grey, but the combination of dry brushing and washes get it to a good starting point. I’ll add detail to things like window panes and repair areas. It will also get some viney plant growth to add a little bit of color.

The bare plastic “before” version. Pretty bland. I like to use a matte tan filament as black, white, or grey don’t really add any undertones to what will be a VERY bleak finished product. I’ll brush prime it with some thinned out grey primer and some of this tan color will definitely show through. In the end the little bit of inconsistent color helps keep the large sections from looking overly worked. A bombed out ruin shouldn’t compete with your meticulously painted space marines. Some variation on the big surfaces goes a long way.

They gathered to see the humorously shaped vegetable. All in all, not as funny as it COULD be, but good fun nonetheless. 🧶 #crochet #veggiegarden 🐡

Crochet animals (chicken, sheep, mouse, duck, cat) stand in a circle viewing a humorously shaped carrot. It appears to be three carrots that grew around each other and are embracing.

My Wednesday WIP (well, ONE of my WIPs today) 🧶 #crochet #wipwednesday #craftsky

A crochet creature. It is green. It has white eyes. It has a big black mouth with sharp little teeth and a big curvy tongue. It has sores. It is sitting on a box of sewing pins, and more partially-finished amigurumi is kind of visible in the background.

Mollog's Mob. Deceptively challenging paint. Bought this kit assembled and man... those mushrooms are a pain =P Still, a very interesting, diverse set of sculpts to work with. Outside my wheelhouse but I think I'm gonna grab some more of these underworlds kits. #warhammer #underworlds #nerdlings

Warhammer Underworlds models chilling out in quick little rocky scene. Mollog is a big nasty troll and he brings three little buddies with him into combat. Seen here with a flying squig, and angry mushroom, and a dangerous looking stalactite, this crew is certainly motley.

Steal not the Doomblade. Rather, steal the Commander and get the Doomblade for free. #warhammer40k #GSC #nerdlings

A rebel Doomblade tank, with its gene-compromised commander standing atop. Other genestealer cultists cheer on the war effort. The cultists ride down the streets of a city in ruin. It is only by extreme actions that change is possible.

The Imperial oppressors have me their match. These genestealer cultists are riding in style and the Patriarch approves.

Besides just generally being weird, the fungus H. peckii contains an anticoagulant compound and has some antibacterial properties! 🧶 #crochet #science #sciart

The filtered in through the trees, and at their head was the Traveler. These are some of the first models I ever painted. Typhus and a fat stack of Poxwalkers may be my most used unit on the table. They inspire dread and gum up the works like crazy. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Nurgle Helbrutes are largely social creatures. They often meet up to discuss philosophy after a long day of work. These are some of my favorite sculpts evah. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting

Two Helbrutes, a Myphitic Blight Hauler, and a Foetid Bloat Drone are situated in a ruin and appear to be having a heated debate. Each model is blessed with the Gifts of Nurgle in the form of corrosion and bizarre growths. There is a gnome on one of the Helbrute bases, spewing his innards out.

Vashtorr the Arkifane. The look on his face always makes me think he's surprised to see me. This is one of those models that is a bit painful to work with as EVERYTHING is covered in sharp bits. Love it. #warhammer40k #nerdlings #CSM

A painted Vashtorr the Arkifane model from Warhammer 40000. He's posed against a backdrop of a ship interior with some railings in the foreground. As a corruptor of machine spirits, much of his mechanisms are rusted, but don't be fooled. This guy slaps. His wings are comprised of fanned out razorlike blades that defy aerodynamics and allow him to fly. So it is with this denizen of the warp.
