I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

I'm quite incommunicado at the moment, a lot of stressful stuff is happening at the moment. But I had the opportunity to visit #Gamescom this year and write about it. It's in German, but still...! www.gamezoom.net/artikel/game...

Finished. Was the owner driven off? Left in a hurry? Swallowed by the ground? Who knows. Some could say, that dragon skulls always spell doom, especially in #TheOldWorld. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Piece of terrain. It's a half buried dragon skull on a grassy hill. Some camper hitched their tent on one of the horns, but the camp, along with weapons, a bedroll, and firewood, lay deserted. View from the left side of the skull.

Same terrain piece, but the dirty tent tarp is in focus. Brownish, weathered.

Other side of the hill. You can see the left-behind weapons in the camp.

Doing last touches on my latest project. Only grass and a tent tarp missing. And then? Then somebody lost their camp around #Mordheim. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

A camp site on a terrain piece. Some things are strewn around: a bed roll, some weapons on a cloth strip, a shield, leaning on some wood. A turned off campfire is in a small ditch.

A view on the whole piece. On the left, the camp side. On the right, a small hill, with a weathered dragons skull half buried in it.

Close up for the skull: it's boney, alright, with some moss growing on it.

Aquarium decoration makes for nice terrain centerpieces. And because I can't finish projects, I started the third wip terrain piece: an aged dragon skull that some lone wanderer used to fasten their tent on. #terrain #nerdlings #Warhammercommunity #TheOldWorld

Two aquarium decorations: old, mossy skulls, one with horns. They are next to a Warhammer figure and somewhat bigger than it.

A mess of styrodur, lots of shavings, in preparation for terrain modelling.

A rough outline of the terrain: a lower part on the left, the skull with horns, somewhat higher, one the right.

The same rough terrain, but now covered in texture paste.

Highlighting every feather takes some time, but is so relaxing! Painting the plumage like in a medieval tapestry, not inspired by the gigantic gen on griphon from GW... :D Only the right side is properly highlighted, the left just drybrushed. Deets in alt! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #theOldWorld

A griphon model on its back. It's the one from the Island of Blood starter box (I think 2010?), but it's slightly changed. For one, there will be (already is) an Empire general on it's back. But the focus should be the wings!
We can see their underside, the plumage separated in three parts - outer, middle and front. From the outer to the front, it gets lighter, from a dark, almost black-red to a light, bright red!
It's only highlighted on the right side, the left side is just after the drybrushing phase.

The photo of a medieval tapestry. From left to right there is a woman, a red plumaged griphon, a man, and another woman. The people hold text bands, the medieval equivalent of speech bubbles. The guy professes his love to the woman, but she answers something like "Na, there is a griphon, I know this means that there can't be love".

Check out the Berlin Kunstgewerbemuseum for more information, they have it in their collection:

Is it weird to think about including some of my tattoos into the paintjob of the Knight, as part of it's heraldry and livery? Ah, who cares! *happy warhorn noises* #warhammerCommunity #nerdlings #warhammer40k

The mostly assembled Knight Destrier. His armour plates are not attached, to.make it easier to paint, later on.

Getting a good grasp on cannon bronze, with Warplock Bronze, Nihilakh Oxide, then drybrushing Balthasar Gold and the faintest Gehenna's Gold. All the time murmuring "Qualität aus Nuln!" from March of Chaos. #warhammerCommunity #theOldWorld #warhammer

Some cannons - two from the imperial cannon kit, one on a horse-drawn wagon. All are only partially painted.

Guess who had perfect summery spring weather yesterday, found some Zandri Dust primer, and noticed that all of his next projects will be mainly in brown colours! #nerdlings #warhammerCommunity

A gaggle of miniatures - 40k terminators, some dude on a griphon, a horse, some wagon with cannons - on a green cutting mat. All.of them are Zandri Dust primed, just like they have a nice tan going on.

Rethinking the head for my general of griphon. I started with a feathered hat (left) because I love them, but it looks silly on a fast moving griphon. So... maybe one of the others, a helmet? #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #TheOldWorld

Four miniature heads, from left to right: 1. A screaming head with a broad hat, adorned with feathers; 2. A classical knights helmet, with a plume; 2. A salet helmet, topped with the grinning face of an exotic beast; 3. A bearded head, with a simple looking helmet in the style of an eagle

After doing a lot of Warhammer #TheOldWorld and now a T'au, I'm thinking about doing something non-GW... but at the same time, my kit-bashed Old World general on (elven) griphon smiles at me from across the bar. Can't decide... maybe some terrain inbetween? #warhammerCommunity #nerdlings

An empire general on a slim elven griphon. He carries a lance as a weapon, a feathered hat, and the griphon has some green stuff feathers to make the empire legs fit.

Side view, better look at the remade feathers. They are not perfect, bit homefully blend when painted. The rider wears a pelt across his back.

Other side. More feathers and the rider has the head of a lion (maybe a beastman?) as a shoulder paldron.

Holzritter @holzritter.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Finished the 4th of my #tenBlades, the Blooded. Some ideas: - Orks ate his leg, he survived. - Not wearing his helmet, he learned that from SMs. - His Twi'ter bio is "Aun'va is KING! Pathfinder, Father, husband in that order." Obnoxious guy. #nerdlings #warhammerCommunity

Tau Pathfinder model from the front. His gun is lowered, while he holds a knife in his left hand. He is mid sprint, knife outstretched, as if he was about to attack someone. He does now wear a helmet, so we can see that his left eye is bionic and green. His armor is red, beginning from a dark red on the bottom to a lighter one on top.
He walks over small stones in a sea of grass.

Side view of the same model. From this PoV it's visible that his left leg is severed below the knee, replaced by a simple prothestic in the colour of his armour. His jumpsuit is grey.

Back view. The control panel on the back of his armor is connected to his shoulder pad by a simple strip of cloth on which T'au alphabet signs are written. It's just simply the Tau version of 'Aun'.

A sword kit from the game Ghost of Tsushima. It's the kot 'Bishamon's Fortune'. Its scabbard is a dark red, turning to a lighter red. The cloth around it is grey, with a small motif of lighter grey. All in all, it's the same colour as the armor and the jumpsuit of the T'au Pathfinder.

Holzritter @holzritter.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Mixing my routine up and switching for a miniature or two from #TheOldWorld to #Warhammer40k. Decided to do one of my #TenBlades... not sure if I really get the dark-red to light-red transition I planned to do. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Picture of a T'au model. It's a pathfinder, in mid-run, with his rifle lowered and a blade stretched out. You can see that he has a protesthic foot instead of the normal T'au hoove. Hoof? You know, his xenos clomper.

Close up of his shoulder pad. It has a slight transition from dark to a lighter red. The sept symbol is black, with light red lines in the inner.

Quick update on the Taal priest for my #Mordheim gang. He has some vine motive on his back cloth. I wanted to originally do it as a tattoo, but... too ripped. It's based on my own tattoo on my leg! Which is based on German medieval poet knight Hartmann von Aue. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Close up of the back of my Taal priest. Around his hip, he has a light brown cloth, adorned with vine motives and red flowers. Check the next image to kmow why!

Bad photo of my right leg. There's a tattoo of Hartmann von Aue on there. Check the next image for more details.

The cover image of knight Hartmann von Aue in the Codex Manesse! A knight on horse, in blue armour, shield and horse cover. Behind him is a green vine with red flowers.

Taal's Teeth! A warrior priest of Taal, for my #Mordheim gang. He calls upon the powers of the Lord of Beasts and his wife Rhya, conjuring plantlife. In my army, he will either be an Amber or Jade wizard, I think. Reference for cloth motive I will share tomorrow! #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

A miniature that was once the body of an Empire flagellant. A muscular man, he is wearing a brown robe, carrying a teeth-adorned bronze spear and his left fist is raised, tangled by a freshly bloomimg flower he is just conjuring with his magical/divine abilities.
He has dark har, almost black, and a bushy beard. He is barefoot on some gras.

Better view on his magical vone. It 'sprouts' from his back, covered by a leaf. Multiple leaves cover the vine and his arm, ending in a red flower.

Around his hips, he is wearing a lighter cloth, adorned with a vine motive. More details on this tomorrow!

Other side of his back. He has a brass piercing in his upper right arm. A green headband adorns his head.
And yeah, have a good view on his bare foot, I know you want to see druid feet!

Finally found time for the second doggo. Now the lord of my #Mordheim gang has two of his most important companions at his side. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Miniatuee of a doggo, with grey fur and snarling snout. Blue eyes look for his enemies. My out-of-focus hobby desk is in the background.

Other side of the dog, better view of his fur. He trots over green grass, his fur has some white stripes.

My two painted dog miniatures flank the lord of my Mordheim gang, from one of my last posts. A proud hunter for Taal!

Burchard Freiherr von Tatzstein, once a celebrated knight and general in service of Talabecland, now ready for one last daring adventure in the depth of #Mordheim. He will earn his place in the hall of the Lord of Beasts, Taal. Magnifying glass is a gamechanger. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

A proud general of the Empire! Or atleast a miniature of one. Standing on a mix of cobblestone and grass, he is wearing green Landsknecht clothes, slitted with yellow. A dashing blue cloth is bound to his left knee.
He wears a cuirass, trimmed with gold and adorned with a brass laurel on his breast. An ornated T for Taal is between the laurel. An oath to Talabecland is on his right thigh plate. His beard was once brown-blonde, now growing grey with white hair in between.
A mighty, two handed mace rests in his hand, while is general pose is one of rest and confidence.
A wide-brimmed hat on his head, made of leather, sports two big feathers in the colours of Talabecland, yellow and red.

The same miniature from behind. He looks ahead, to new adventures, while brandishing his mace, supported by a rock in the grass.

Close-up of his face. The lower echelons of his beard are still the brown-blonde of his haydays, but the majority is grey, with mixed in white strands. His spirit may burn with the fire of Sigmar and the vigour of Taal, but his hair shows his age and his bones let him feel his years.

Close-up of his lower body. Stones dot the grass, that almost shares the green of his pants. The green-yellow of Haus Tatzstein are represented in his Landsknecht clothings. Brown leather shoes cover his feet. An oath to Talabecland, painted in white, is on his right thigh plate. Well, it's a transfer sticker, but in the world it would be painted on!

So, it happened. While struggling with the eyes on my Imperial, I decided my own eyes are just not up to the ask. Feeling quite old for it, but now I have a magnifying glass on a swivel. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Deep work in progress for the leader of my #Mordheim gang. The eyes are terrible on this head, they are not the same sight. Really fighting with them. And I can't decide on a hair colour. He is supposed the family patriarch, but just doing them grey seems so boring... #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Kitbashed Warhammer The Old World miniature. It's an Imperial, with proud, feathered hrad, a makestic beard and slitted clothes. He is wearing green with yellow deeper layers. Not everything is painted right now.

My first miniature of 2026 is a doggo for #Mordheim, also the first painted member of my Horned Hunters. I tried to get some inspiration from the fur of the dog photo, buuut... oh well. For the first time, I'm happy. Next dog will be more grey. #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Miniature of a dog. It has shaggy brown fur, with some white streaks in it. It's snout is a lighter brown, teeths are showing, while it's trotting over gras and between bushes.

Photo of a dog, a German Wirehaired Pointer (I think, no clue). It has brown fur with some white hairs inbetween, with a light brown snout.

I'm on a terrain hype after my hut. Now I want to do a canon encampment. BUT! I want to design it, so that enemies can still heroically (or murderously) scale the walls and battle the defenders... hopefully not Tau. #mordheim #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Total photo of a heavy WiP terrain project. It's mostly yellow foam underground, with two wooden cover walls. Inbetween them is a spare room which houses an Empire grand canon. An engineer stands behind cover.
Before one of tje walls is a black mound of 'dirt', covered in texture paste.

Behind the cover 'walls'. There are wheel tracks for the canon planned, with little stepups for people taking cover behind the walls.

Closeup. The engineer is behind the wall, but from the sideview ot is shown that the mound of dirt is shaped so that a model can stand in front of the wall as if it is scaling it. At the moment, there is a Tau. Talking about anachronism, eh?
