Behold, a bizarre proof of life. Depression and the world been kicking my ass, progress has been slow, but I've been working through my Ulthwe to add to my existing Alaitoc for 2nd edition. Some still WIP pics. #oldhammer #miniaturewargaming #warhammer40k

Well that's my weekend sorted with the rapid delivery of The Wendigo, time to figure out some tones across my pedal stack and figure out how I want to manage all this gain.

After several months, I have completed my minimum for my 2nd ed. Chaos Space Marines Black Crusade. I still need to figure out how to get a full army shot worth a damn, but for now the (best) Thousand Sons are completed #warhammer40k #oldhammer #thousandsons #miniaturewargaming

An indulgent excursion into Death Guard for the penultimate contingent in my Black Crusade. Played around with lighting on the plasma gun and added weathering to the rhino, the only weathering Ive done in the entire army. Better photography too I think?? #oldhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturewargaming

Ehhhh. They did that same thing they did with Mk III - worse helmet, worse backpack, and now the added sin of being lazy and not giving it's own jump pack. I'm happy with upscaling and reworks, but these are beloved and well selling designs, so it's a bummer (the damn helmet vent blows)

Took over a month, the Noise Marines were profoundly unpleasant to paint. Fabius on the other hand was so much fun to work through. I feel like I do need a tutor for photos though, youtube tutorials and online articles are doing bloody nothing #oldhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturewargaming

It took a genuinely concerted effort to reduce my paint range down to just these (excluding some historical, specialist, fluor, and my 90s citadel collection) easily 4x this many pots now in a bix box under a desk.

Undiagnosed, but I did just get fixated all day on making my own map of the 40k galaxy M41 because all other versions were just terrible for what I wanted.

World Eaters done! Kharn and his 8 sacrifices I mean chosen warriors. The plastics were the worst part, while Kharn was a bloody delight to work on. I've really found the joy of working on characters ever since I did Vulkan years back #oldhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturewargaming #worldeaters

Been a hot minute since I busted out Blender and thought about firing up my printer, especially since I printed all the arms and backpacks for my vintage projects. But hey, Orks need to fly...

Iron Warriors contingent complete. It was nice to have a relatively easy paint scheme for once, aside from the damn stripes. 30 year old decals are also always flawed in application, but that's OK, they're neat either way. Nights Lords next? Lightning... #oldhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturewargaming

My Word Bearers contingent for my 2nd edition Black Crusade. Two things noted - there are some weird strands I can't see with my naked eye, and I need to learn why I can't take decent pictures after following all advice short of "buy a DSLR" #warhammer40k #oldhammer #miniaturewargaming

I never really looked at Daemons in the 90s, so this stat line was very confusing to me and contradictory to everything I am used to Nurgle being.

Me: after 2 months of 6mm, I need to paint a nice, easy, simple army. Also me: 5 different colour schemes on the most detail cluttered miniatures of the era, that sounds fine. I am dumb.

devolutionary @devolutionary.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Here's stuff I can provide easily. Theyre not as fun to paint as tyranids, very small and soft detail, so the faces got lost when mass painting. Focused on contrast and simple blocks where able. Bronze instead of gold, blue as the accent, etc.

devolutionary @devolutionary.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Another barrage of mid-tier photos but it's a second EPIC army completed for the year, this time my Orks. Much like my Tyranids, I have a ton of models left I can add (and I forgot to include my Slasha Gargant), but this is plenty for now #oldhammer #epic40k

My post-Christmas end of year army is done in very speedy fashion. I enjoyed trusting the process and pushing simple contrast on these very small Epic miniatures for use in 2e Epic/NetEpic as Hive Fleet Behemoth. Now I need to paint some blue lads to fight #epic40k #oldhammer #miniaturewargaming

How the hell am I meant to hold these while painting?? Just gotta wait 24 hours to cure? Nitrile gloves? Real bastards to work on.

Much better! From horrible initial tones to a suitably garish EPIC scale oddity.

devolutionary @devolutionary.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

I feel like this model is my prime example of "trust the process". All the detail of a modern Tyranid only at a fraction of the scale.

That will be a wrap on the #oldhammmer #spacewolves for now. 2000pts constructed for 2e, still have some characters and Long Fangs but I need a bit of a break from baby blue nightmares #miniaturewargaming

devolutionary @devolutionary.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Took way longer than I hoped, but its a good chunk of points at least! It's a very protracted process for this scheme, but I continue to find it very rewarding #oldhammer #spacewolves #miniaturewargaming

Sunday night hobby,getting very old school. Can I just say that the AMMO Premium Kolisnky size 1 brush is a real bloody gem? Good length, very fine, has been a real workhorse with all these vintage highlights and banners. #oldhammer #warhammer40k #spacewolves #miniaturepainting

First time I've engaged with a Space Marine at this level. It really is a hell of a scheme. Decided to work on this lad first because 2e Wolves didn't have any banners but he had a ton of detail to test. Pretty damn happy #oldhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #spacewolves

Finished my first guitar pedal build, my first proper electronics project, and my first time putting down a decal that large. Very fun project, very satisfying to have complete, had to force some patience into my bones. Wish Dad could hear it, though he'd probably complain it's not a Fender.
