Here’s a few WIP of Oldhammer Aekold Hellbrass. The first two pictures are from Monday, and the others are from today (Thursday). Painted over the past two weeks during lunch breaks. It’s important to remember the ugly phase is just that, a phase. #miniaturepainting

Yet another Forgefiend! I think I have bought 5 of these kits to date and not one has been used in the same way as the last. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #paintingminiatures #warhammer40k

Will almost certainly touch it up later in a few spots, but I’m calling this Frieza Force Aeldari done. It’s given me a color scheme and template I really like on these models. Now to just figure out what a Namekian base looks like. #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting

Hazard stripes all done. Power packs, edge high-lighting and all the minor details remain but it’s some solid progress. Gonna have to think of a name for these Scoundrels. #miniaturepainting

Today feels like a pretty good day for #miniaturepainting progress. Getting closer to finishing up these five Scoundrels. One day I’ll slay all the gray. One day.

A small updated group photo. 5 of the 8 #battletech Gothic ‘mechs all painted up. The Marauder is up next, and it’s quite the leggy one. I suppose I better start thinking of how to base them soon.

Finally back into #miniaturepainting after adjusting to some life changes. Some progress on the Knifton Marine squaddies, and the #battletech Gothic Rifleman. Definitely going to work on some proper pictures for all of them once they’re done.

A small break from #Battletech with this Scoundrel Merchant Commando. Very much inspired by Judge Dredd, along with the Arbites and the old Field Police Marines from Rogue Trader. He’ll be joined, eventually, with a whole squad of Scoundrels. #miniaturepainting

In around 26-hours, the new #MadCatII video will be live on my channel. It's all set and ready to go. But before it drops, I wanted to show off an amazing piece by @alblackwell.bsky.social that's in the video, and is the opening shot even. Video link here: youtu.be/JfJN6bdARvk #Battletech
-The picture demonstrates a Mad Cat Mk II, adorned in a custom Clan Sea Fox colour scheme. It shows the mech storming a facility on the beach, which appears to be a freight-centre.

-There is a downed defender's mech as well, which has clearly been torn apart and is burning after being struck by enemy fire.

-To the bottom left of the image is a Warhammer IIC and Hammerhead, which were presented in an art-piece before. 

-Lighting streaks across the sky.

-A Hurricane rolls through the area, drenching the area in wind and rain.

-The Mad Cat Mk II itself is also in the process of firing its LRM's.

-Overall, the idea came together when me and Alan talked about this being a follow-up to an art piece he'd done for me before. I think it's pretty cool.

Spector, Regent, and an Ostroc for a new Lyran Guards force I'm painting up. Unfortunately the blue I used was a bit darker than I was thinking it would come out, but you know what? I kind of like the darker blue against the white for a Lyran Guards livery. #Battletech #AlphaStrike

Painted up a #Battletech Gothic Phoenix Hawk modeled after @swankmotron.com’s famous Fox Patrol. In the Gothic Universe, the Clans do not exisr, so Katie pilots a Phoenix Hawk… and a nicotine addiction

A very messy picture of tonight’s progress on the Gothic Rifleman. About an hour’s worth of work to block in all the major colors. Still a lot of work to go. #battletech

"Orcs should be green, not blue" is probably the dumbest shibboleth/culture war screed I've yet heard and yet it inspired a blog post that is hopefully slightly less idiotic #osr #ttrpg

The Gothic Phoenix Hawk is all done. While I’m happy with how it turned out, it’s the first model of the set I really started to struggle with due to some crushed and vague details. I’m on to the Heavy mechs now, starting with the Rifleman. #battletech

Finished up the Gothic Scorpion. With a bonus group shot of the completed trio as they stand now. The question of what to base them with is rapidly coming closer and closer to needing an answer. #battletech

A Gothic Firestarter joins the lance, ready to melt some unsuspecting Mechs. I can almost certainly push the highlights and shadows more, but I’m pretty happy where it is for now. Things to consider when I start basing the whole collection. #battletech

A very Pac-Man inspired gathering for Necropolis28. One of the larger projects I’ve completed recently. I do have some early plans for Ms. Pac-Man, Baby Pac-Man, and their dog. #miniaturepainting #28mm

Some lunch break painting. One of the smaller miniatures I’ve painted so far, and still a lot of work left on it.

A third Crinos form Garou for Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Two more pack mates left to paint up before the group photo. As with the other two miniatures, this one is at 75 mm scale. Pretty fun to paint with a cool color scheme.

Housetowne @housetowne.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
Another Crinos form Garou of a packmate for Werewolf: The Apocalypse A simpler color scheme but definitely more challenging to paint on a miniature.

Housetowne @housetowne.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
A Garou in Crinos form painted like a Maned Wolf. For one of my fellow players in a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game. (I promise I have cleaned up the base since taking this picture)

An undead spaceman, a Bone Husk for #necropolis28 #28mm Satisfied with the skull but improving the glow effect is going to be a focus going forward for the rest of the gathering.

Green stuff is some annoyingly stubborn stuff. It’ll stick to everything except itself and the plastic I want it on. Even with vaseline and water to keep it from sticking to everything else! Anyway my Fodder unit has their #Turnip28 face masks now.
