I’ve been working on some district walls for #TraitorsToll for ages! Finally got them finished over the weekend. I really wanted to conjure some #OldHammer feeling with these and I think I managed that. I still haven’t played a game yet sadly… #nerdlings #wargaming #warhammercommunity

As the ancient Greeks said: "Fucking finally!". My take on my old stripped Ruglud's armoured orcs who according to lore picked up their heavy armour and crossbows from Chaos dwarves. I spent too much money on 15 extra figures, and they were a lot of work for a dodgy result, but here we are... 💁

A sort of finished post, I put a ton of work into the scene for this base so I'm calling it done! Last pic is the Knight Castellan for scale since it's gonna be the model on this base! Fun fact: This base is inspired by my home! #nerdlings #w40k #warhammer #painting #art #miniatures #tabletop

Flashback Friday - taking pics of older bits from my collection. This is the OG metal Harlequin Solitaire. In 3rd edition this guy was an absolute missile, able to charge 12" and getting +1A for each unused inch. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #oldhammer #nerdlings
Harlequin Solitaire armed with a neuro-disruptor and Harlequin's Kiss.Details of the Harlequins KissI really loke the old school chaotic color schemes.

34 years ago, Master painter Mike McVey created the first two pictures. Three years ago, I finished my version…thoughts? #aloadofoldtoby #Warmongers #paintingminiatures #wargames #tabletop #miniatures #gaming #miniaturepainting #wepaintminis #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Oldhammer
Mike McVey converted Woodelf Hero, picture taken for White Dwarf 148 published in 1992!Here the same model is described as a Level 10 Hero, something which I still refer to from Oldhammer rule sets.My version of the great Mike McVey model, I hope here you can get the same flavour as that of the model. I used the a spare attack chariot horse and a different embossed shield. 🛡️ I also made the feathers and mushroom from green stuff.I have tried to replicate the saddle cloth with green stuff. The lance is a dark elf lance instead….the back banner is made in the same method as Mike, and eagle wing glued to metal wire. 
Huge amount of work overall took me a month solid during COVID but the end result is my best ever miniature by a mile!

NEW MINI MONDAY!!! So, this one is a bit of a collaboration, between me and Mike McVey! The face of Gorfang Rotgut here was painted by Mike 30+ years ago, probably as a colour test. I've had it in a box, since then, and I decided it was time to finish it off. For sale here: ebay.io/m/tRVGDN

So while I had the paints out for my ancients I thought I'd paint up a free sprue I had from WI of Warlord epic Carthaginians. Just wanted to see what I could achieve with them, they don't fit in with any other collection I have but I just followed the brushes.

Found this gate in York. It had a standard lock, plus a padlock and a chain holding it shut. It was very very securely closed. The only thing on the other side is a blank wall. The only conclusion I can make is that this is a magic portal to hell.
An obvious portal to hell.

I'm finding WotR figures take me a long time to paint - but the colourful results make the effort worthwhile. These were started a couple of months ago (but some musketeers somehow sneaked ahead of them in the queue).

An orky ‘Gobsmasher’ in 28mm scale. Painted, of course, in yellow with a few suitable black markings. Wheels are rusted steel and five Bad Moon orks are fanning out to do some ‘ead bashin’ on whoever’s closest

My entire Imperial Dwarf Army. This is based on Richard III most loyal supporters most dying with him on Bosworth Field in 1485. Every banner represents these loyal men and RIII own emblem. Most models are from the late 80s/90s. It’s been a 40 year passion. #Warhammer #GamesWorkshop #FantasyBattle
