I’ve been working away on a new kill team with the gene stealers. This model was so fun to paint too, I’m looking forward to painting up the brood brothers next #warhammer #40k #killteam #warhammercommunity

Bumped the saturation up on the wings, cleaned up the white linen headpiece, and painted the bottom legs and talons. I think tomorrow it's gonna be the dress and the wood of the spear #hobbystreak 1181

More sketching of Ahrimans gold and his robes for #hobbystreak 46 I want to do a galaxy effect on the top side of his cape, but I'm not sure what to do on the underside yet.

Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.

A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

Skaven Vanguard's built, whoo! Crew for the Warp Lightning Cannon will be a very rare case of being painted separately simply because otherwise you literally won't be able to paint most of the model if you follow the instructions. #buildthestash #warhammercommunity #skaven

A variety of mutant rat models, aka Skaven, now assembled with various basing stuff applied to their bases.

I usually only write up my games for my own reference but as I have been using the hobby time of #hobbystreak 39, 40 and 41 to write it, I figured I better share. (It is based mostly on "what fantasy miniatures do I have painted right now")

Base coating some trim tonight. My first fully painted army was Black Legion so chaos trim feels like slow but comfortable. #hobbystreak 38

A layer of beastly brown to start off the gold on about half of Ahrimans pieces.

Oh that's a nice solution. Honestly I'm at the "I put my minis on any free surface" stage of my life.... So they sit above my desk, some in the space I had left in a display cab and most of the rest on the space in front of books on my bookshelf lol. It's terrible.

Had to do a bunch of writing and admin for the various DnD things I'm finding myself involved in for #hobbystreak 36 tonight. So here's a picture of the display case I have above my painting desk. It's supposed to be for Lego. How do you display your miniatures?

It's a Lego display case full of assorted miniatures.

The leaping blenny hops from rock to rock, and can launch itself through the air up to 50 times its body length. You can find them in tide pools, on rocky coasts, and, starting November 7, you’ll be able to see leaping blennies in action at our all-new Ocean in Motion/La Danza del Mar exhibit.

Noodling around with Ahriman doing some grayscale sketching and trying to fix some build issues I missed before priming. I also did a partial paint over/sketch of what my plan is. I find it helps me understand what I need to do. It's #hobbystreak day 33

Sketching in gray scale on ahrimans arms to try and figure them out.

The plan for my Ahriman includes a translucent resin kine-shield centred on his staff, protecting him from an explosion and a nebula effect cloak

Pat Ryan @crankytapir.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Ahriman was primed today, but I also spent a lot of time working to try set up a small local painters meet up but the bureaucracy involved in getting a small meeting room for a few hours is Kafkaesque. And the cost is obscene. I need to lie in the dark for a while. #hobbystreak 32

I always forget to tell anyone about this when it is actually the right time of year but this time I remembered. The miniatures from my first kickstarter "The Pumpkins of Squashmarrow" are all available from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social's website. Each has a decorative pumpkin sprue included.

a picture of five pumpkin people miniatures with a pencil background and the text 'The Pumpkins of Squashmarrow' on the left hand side of the image. The pumpkin people miniatures are as follows: one has long hair and a dress, one is wearing shorts with suspenders and a shirt. One of them in the center of the group is larger and has a woolen shawl and dress and is holding a basket. One of the miniatures is made up of three smaller pumpkin people which suggests that they might be children. Finally, one of them is wearing a shirt, jacket and trousers with suspenders as well as a hat. This one has a moustache.
