#Hobbystreak 500! Today I primed the chaos knights and started painting the base coats on the green armour panels.

The last TV show I watched crossed with the last game I played... Well, it would be interesting at least. Quake/Bluey.

It's a bit of a long shot I know but if anyone is interested in a well painted Skaven army (at least in my humble opinion), I am selling this one. ebay.io/m/SI569b

#Hobbystreak 499. Put together the bases for the chaos knights. Starting to run low on skulls now though.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 498. Finished building the chaos knights. I just need to get the bases made up now and I can move on to priming.

#Hobbystreak 496 and 497. I attended the wedding of two of my close friends yesterday, but we're nerds so we still played games at the reception (Tinderblox, Fluxx, Dead Man's Chest and Zombie Dice). Today I was very tired so all I did was assemble one chaos knight from the new Spearhead delivery.

#Hobbystreak 495. Not much chance for hobby today. I did plan some stuff for Pathfinder though.

#Hobbystreak 494. Bloody kids! My 3 year old daughter decided to help me finish the dragon (that was already finished bar the wings) by painting a thick coat of Ulthuan Grey on it. So my hobby today was getting that off and redoing the basecoat on the purple scales.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 493. Very little time for hobby stuff today. Managed to squeeze in enough time to apply the Mantis Warrior Green to the gold details of Ionus Cryptborn.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 492. When it came to sitting down and doing some painting this evening, all I could bring myself to do was add the basecoats on Ionus Cryptborn himself.

#Hobbystreak 491. I have finished the main body of the dragon. Having said that, I may go back in and highlight the scales a bit more to give them more definition.

0251

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 490. I painted all of the chitin on the dragon. It was actually somewhat therapeutic.

0321

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 489. Back to work on Ionus Cryptborn and his dragon. I converted and painted a couple of zombies to go on the base. This one has been impaled while the other only has half a torso and head lying on the floor. The blood and gore will be added once the rest of the basing is done.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 488. The chaos warriors are finished. Including a freehanded banner for good measure (it's not brilliant but I am happy with it as practice). Just waiting for the next Spearhead delivery now.

0162

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 487. Continued with the chaos warriors again today. I really want to get these finished as soon as possible so I can move on to other things before the next Spearhead delivery arrives.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I got a delivery today from Firestorm Games. I have finally invested in some proper fluorescent paints. These will be great fun to experiment with. I'm also going to need them for a painting competition.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 485 and 486. I've continued working on the chaos warriors. Unfortunately I can't seem to find my pot of Flayed One Flesh for the final highlights on the skin capes. I'll mix something similar for now and pick up a new pot next week.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

The Khazalite Holds leak is making me really want to just start on the combined dwarf army I have wanted to do for Age of Sigmar. The question is, do I sell some of my other armies to pay for it or just try and chip away at the project?

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 484. I did lots of prep for Pathfinder today. Unfortunately tomorrow's session has been cancelled but it does mean that I have less to do next weekend. I've also basecoated all of the cloaks on the chaos warriors.

030

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 483. I decided that I should probably finish an existing project before diving into yet another one. So I'm back at work on the chaos warriors. This time I've been working on the leather.

050

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 482. Painted some more base coats on the wartrakk using contrast paint today.

0141

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 480 and 481. Did some more prep for Pathfinder and got distracted from the chaos warriors by the new wartrakk, a knight relictor and the mini for the winter painting competition.

060

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 478 and 479. Yesterday I prepped and then ran a Pathfinder session. Today I worked on rewriting the army list for the Bolt Action Germans, did a little prep for next week's Pathfinder session and started painting the leather on the chaos warriors.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 476 and 477. The green armour on the chaos warriors is done.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The Chaos Lord for the Slaves to Darkness Spearhead is finished. I've tried to theme it around Doom. Specifically the Marauder demon from Doom Eternal. I'm fairly happy with the result. #ageofsigmar #spearhead #doom #chaos

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 474 and 475. Green armour on the warriors has been started and the chaos lord himself is finished. Quite pleased with the results. It took some work deciding how to do the cloaks but it turns out the simplest technique was the best one.

091

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 473. Finished the building the bases on the chaos warriors and got all of the new chaos models primed. I even managed to get the armour started on the chaos lord! Aiming for a Doom theme.

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20? This was a tough choice.

#Hobbystreak 472. Spearhead magazine delivery came today. So I set to work on the new minis. I've still got to finish assembling the chaos warriors and prepping the bases ready for priming but I will do that tomorrow.

060

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 470 and 471. Making progress with the dragon. I really want to add something to the base other than grass and flower tufts. Any suggestions? More skulls is an obvious choice.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 468 and 469. I did a bit more prep for a D&D adventure that my wife and I ended up not getting the chance to play (yet), including painting up her character mini. Today I started the process of painting the dragon that Ionus Cryptborn rides.

0171

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 467. I have primed Ionus Cryptborn and his dragon ready for painting. I have also been doing prep for a special game of D&D I'll be playing tomorrow.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 465 and 466. Ionus Cryptborn and his dragon friend assembled ready for priming.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 463 and 464. The last bits of the Age of Sigmar terrain have been glued to their freshly cut out bases and had texture paint applied. I attempted a marble effect on the floor of the main building. I think it came out ok for a first try. This evening I've also been playing Pathfinder.

0151

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 461 and 462. All of the Age of Sigmar terrain is painted. I've also drawn out the cut lines for the bases on some scrap MDF.

Give an image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack. Granted this was an easy one, but I can't even look at a crucifix these days without at least hearing the tune whistle in my head.

#Hobbystreak 459 and 460. The terrain project continues. I've only got a few pieces of scatter terrain and the "under construction" piece left to finish off. I'll be looking at sorting out the basing after that is done. I'm considering adding moss and vines to some of it too.

0151

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 457 and 458. Yesterday I started painting the character mini for one of the players in my Pathfinder campaign then headed out to play the next session. Today I have been painting the verdigris on the Age of Sigmar terrain I'm working on.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 455. I had decided yesterday that the statues would be painted to look like jade (or as close as I could). So today I was painting them as such. I'm quite pleased with the results. By no means is it perfect and is based on a particular shade of jade, but it's ok.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

#Painsomnia strikes! Tried to make the most of it by painting the base coat on the statues and finishing base coating the brass.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 454. I've continued with the terrain project. Mainly laying down basecoats for the brass sections. I've also planned out how to redo some of the statues as the pale stone is a little uninspiring.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

#Hobbystreak 453. I had an idea to update the paint job on my Age of Sigmar terrain and finish off some works in progress. I didn't get any of it finished but I got the sandstone sections done. Questioning whether this was a good idea now though...

This was the view of the hill fire from my living room window earlier today. These wildfires are way too frequent. I just hope it rains soon.
