Also making a pair of Necropolis boards in my con crunch fugue. They're extremely rough but you can kinda see where they're going. -- #necropolis #terrain #minipainting #necropolis28 #holyfireminis #nerdlings

A partially built gaming board, currently just foam and spackle. A dried, cracked lakebed with monoliths

More for Threnodyssey! A pair of Casket-class Necronauts, Baker-type with some arcane breaching shields. Fun to kitbash, even more fun to paint. -- #threnodyssey #kitbash #minipainting #holyfireminis #nerdlings

A pair of undead cyborgs. Their right arms are guns, their left arms hold shield carved with glowing runs. Their armor plating is jade colored and they stand on rusty metal decking.

Urn Necronauts for Threnodyssey. An Amphora and a pair of Jerrycans, probably? Couldn't decide on a paint scheme so I referenced the (absolutely rad) cover art & I'm very pleased w/the results. More/bigger 'nauts throughout the week -- #threnodyssey #scifi #horror #kitbash #holyfireminis #nerdlings

A trio of skulls on scuttling robotic tripod legs. Two have guns on their undersides.
