New Amon Hen Post. Follow the build! I make my own Flock and draw on cardboard. All the big pieces are printed and flocked into an inch of their life. We also have Aragorn! What a time to be alive. modellingfordisadvantage.substack.com/p/amon-hen-f...

Spend $30 on a static grass applicator? No way. $2.50 on a way less effective method! Load up the bottle, shake it like mad, point at glue and squeeze. #terrain

Part 2 of the Void Fight battle is up and ready to read. The real horror shows itself. Can Strike Force Azrule win with discipline and ferocity? Void Fight is a narrative tabletop battle where solo dice rolling decides who lives and who is ejected into the void…

Ok with some paint, dry brushing and washes it's looking pretty good! Very basic black paint, then layers of dry brushing lighter and lighter grey and then several washes. Next up some glamour shots! #lotr #terrain

Croaker RPGs @croaker-rpgs.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

The base print was ok but it needed far more depth! So a couple of layers of packing foam (which I hate working with!) and then covered with bark to continue the rock effect. Let it bake in the sun and you are ready to rock (get it? I'm here all week, try the veil I hear it's great) #lotr #terrain

Back to some crafting! Using 3D printing and traditional methods im creating a version of The Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Bit smaller than I'd want but I'm constrained with a small printer but I have some tricks up my sleeve to give it more depth. Probably more like 15 to 20mm instead of 28mm. #terrain

Drunk eBay rescue purchase is a win! After purchasing a lot of rough Tyranids, a few repairs and a new paint job, these gene stealers are ready to steal some genes Simple two colour paint job with a wash on printed industrial bases. I still need to work on their big brother Warriors. #40k #28mm

Been raining Tyranids and Tau the last few days but finally had a break in the rain to prime. Black with a zenathol grey. Prior to this I lightly stippled watered down wall filler to hide layer lines Pictured with some eBay rescue minis I'm working on. Loving it! @doctorspork.bsky.social

This week's project. Just needing paint. Not sure what scheme I want to use. Love to use it in multiple One Page Rules army. So maybe a scuffed up blue and red scheme to match my Prime Brothers (Blue) and Rebels (Red).

Nobody believed it would start again, encased in thick layers of rust and grime. They prayed to the new gods, and some to the new. The engine sputtered and coughed, and then roared. To the rebels, it sounded like hope. So they named her Hope. Because only with hope could you possibly win. #28mm

Brother Scarrius had hunted the foul xenos through the factorum for days. Every sound was investigated,every chink of a chain or screech of metal. After a while Brother Scarrius thought it was he who was being hunted. Shadows moved. Sounds without explanation. He was prey. #40k #wargaming #28mm

Have not painted a monster like this before but quite happy. Skin is Malignant Green (Army painter speed paints) and covers Vallejo streaking grim. Organs are slaughter red and Blood Red. Bones and horn are my favourite Pallid Bone. Sword is Leadbelcher with Agrax Earthshade. Action shots soon

I prayed to the Omnisiah all 13 hours. A failed support, flickering lights and kids playing too close to the printer weren't enough to dent my faith in the machine spirit. The soul of the machine god surrounds thee... (So this will be a statue for my Mordheim build. Stay tuned!)

Good Mordheim terrain (according to this novice) tells a story and allows for fighting all over. This particular townhouse belonged to a merchant and after the fall became a refuge for a local goblin gang. That is until the merchant's son came with a pack of mercenaries to take it back. #28mm

My first ever 'digital kitbash' isn't exactly luxurious but it will be super useful in my Mordheim crafting. Basically just taking these wood beams and making them longer. Balsa wood is expensive here so this is an affordable way to get some crafting materials.

Work in progress of a Mordheim style ruined building. Keen to spray it up and start painting. Not sure what scheme I want. Plan is to base it on an openlock tile so I can connect is all together.
