Today’s #hobbystreak 31 I packed an army ready for tomorrow and assembled this bad boy

#hobbystreak 30 and it’s been a hell of a day but I did get some metallics on this

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

#hobbystreak 29 these guys got decals and that’s about it, unless you count the #necromunda figures I picked up on Vinted

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

#hobbystreak 28 I was about to proudly declare these guys done but then i realised I haven’t added decals or painted the cords/stitching, oops #orktober #warhammer40k

#hobbystreak 27 I got a little work done on the bases, ready for a brush. I also designed my cricibal of champions character. I could give him a name but he’s a wulfen so I guess nobody is going to ask him.

#hobbystreak 26 my wife says I have too many hobbies. Shade and base work in these orks and starting a new project at bed time. I might even get the orks finished tomorrow

#hobbystreak 25 I run a warhammer club at work which gave me time to get this gladiator together today. I think I’m done with the ghoul thing, I’ve learned a few things and it looks ok but I think it’s too small a canvas to really play

0181

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

#hobbystreak 24 and I thought I’d have a go at another limited palette challenge with this ghoulish thing. I went for some cooler tones inspired by one of the Blanche paint sets. I’m trying to play with wet blending and roughly blocking in colours to start with and then I’ll try to refine them later

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

#hobbystreak 23 and one ‘hobby’ got in the way of another but I did have a few minutes to fill some gaps in these spooks I found on Vinted. I’m going to try another limited palette idea, does anyone know what they are? Presumably #ageofsigmar

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

#hobbystreak 21 I had time to work on the metal on these orks today, hopefully I can finish the main colours this week and get onto detailing them. I’m also working on a small but creepy side project. #warhammer #orktober

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

#hobbystreak 20 I’m pretty much done with this dude. He’s far from perfect and I need to touch up where I dropped him but overall not bad and a fun experiment. I wouldn’t paint a whole army like this but some of it was great fun. #warhammer #paintingwarhammer #warhammerageofsigmar

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

#hobbystreak 19 and I’ve made progress. He’s not great but I’m learning a lot, for example why I normally use a dark base. I’m pleased with the shield but might push the highlights a bit and go over the skin to add more depth. I’m struggling a bit with clothing as it’s hard to darken the paint.

0120

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

#hobbystreak 18 and I’ve been itching to try this for a while - red based Ork and a limited palette. I’m only working with the paints pictured over a vivid red base. So far I’ve made a good start on the skin and begun to block in some base colours for the armour and fabrics. It’s a mess but fun!

0112

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

#hobbystreak 17 done with these chaos and I’ve officially done more than half of the Armageddon box! I’m pretty pleased with how they’ve turned out, hopefully they’ll turn heads on the table and bring the Emperor’s light to their new owner #paintingwarhammer #warhammer #nerdlings #helpsifiaddpics

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

#hobbystreak 16 not much today, busy with work and family. I did get a base on this guy and he is almost done. I’m particularly pleased with the cloak but I don’t think it necessarily reads as leather. I should probably brush the gravel off his face #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

0250

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

#hobbystreak 15 I got some varnish on these guys and thought I’d take my ‘what have I missed’ pics. Pretty happy so far, some foliage on the grass might help #warhammer

Most nights my kids listen to the Just So Stories at bed time so I I’ve heard this poem (Merrow Down) hundreds of times, it’s always made me feel sadT today I looked it up. It’s poem Kipling wrote as an elegy for his daughter after she died of pneumonia aged 6. Kipling knew how to write grief

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#hobbystreak 14 almost done with this librarian. The glow effect isn’t great, might need a touch more white and I need a better blue fluorescent paint. The cape on the other hand I’m rather pleased with, I was aiming for red lined leather and I think it kind of works #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

0241

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#hobbystreak 13 Nearly finished with my captain and ancient, loving chucking contrast paints on these Orks. Hoping to get the marines finished and off to their new owner this week. #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

#hobbystreak 12 I got some faces painted (the camera really doesn’t like them) and started working on extending my shed which led to the discovery of this snail stash

0231

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

#hobbystreak 11 I wasn’t sure if drinking counted so I painted some orks before going out #warhammer

1141

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 10 not much done today, I based this guy though and I’m looking forward to getting on to the details. #warhammer40000k

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 9 not much today but I managed to get the oath papers based, repainted the ancient’s building silver and check out this ork arm! I think I might need a cool ork mini to try this on, it’s totally impractical for an army but would make an awesome one off #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

0242

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#hobbystreak day 8 a a busy day but I had time for a new style of #warhammer40k power sword and to try something a bit different on an Ork I printed - the green on red is pretty striking, it’ll be interesting to see how it turns out

0292

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

#hobbystreak day 7 I went a bit rogue on the cape but I like the effect and that banner isn’t looking bad either. Not pictured - my 3d printer which had a catastrophic leak and might need a new screen - damn!

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#hobbystreak day 6 - I’ve done a few bits but the most interesting is the cloak of this captain, I’m trying for a sort of magpie effect.

0151

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I got these #warhammer #bloodangels done today, they will hopefully be on their way to their new owner soon. I enjoyed these, looking forward to painting up the Captain and ancient.

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

#hobbystreak day 5, a bit more work on my orks, they are ready to base so I’ve just got to work out what I want Armageddon to look like. I’m enjoying the banner too. #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer

0252

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#hobbystreak day 4 and I’m shattered so going to bed early but I did manage to start ‘mapping’ colours on this banner and some work on my orks. I’m loving painting something really bright and snazzy for once

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Late entry for day 3 of my #hobbystreak although I’m not sure if it counts, camping with work and I get to bring Sophie, one of my favourite tent buddies. We’re snuggled up in bed listening to deer roaring across the valley

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

#hobbystreak day 2 and today I fit in 2 hobbies. Lifted some things and then added some glow effects to the blood angels jump packs. I also finished this death watch sergeant, I’m pretty pleased with how he looks.

0161

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I’m trying to do the #hobbystreak thing so here is day 1; trying to get these #bloodangels from the Armageddon box done by the weekend so I can send them to their new home. Just the bases and some details to go

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It’s annoying how often the answer is ‘give it an agrax bath’

0283

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I love these saturnines but just can’t get this iron hands scheme to a place I’m happy with. I’m wondering about a stripe on the Pauline’s maybe to break them up plus some chipping. Any thoughts #warhammer people?

A quiet night in our garden

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I went a little bit overboard with the base but really happy with how this landspeeder turned out. It’s a comission from the Armageddon set and will be on its way to its new owner soon #warhammer #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Behold; my first Armageddon marines. They are lovely models, all painted for a commission. #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer

1294

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Done with this trio; Murderfang built from an old metal dread and spares, a combo lieutenant and Murderfang’s baby terminator brother. #warhammer #warhsmmer40k

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

2 commissions done, I think that Black Templar dread may be my best work. Chaos is fun but a bit of a faff #warhammer #peintingwarhammer #nerdlings

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

I think it might just be that I really like this shade and the convenience, although it’s my first try with the ak contrasts

110

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I think I like iron warriors.

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Murderfang with added fur! Pretty pleased with how he’s looking so far. #warhammer40k #spacewolves #nerdlings

IdleMrB @idlemrb.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I’ve hurt my foot so I’m modelling on the sofa so you’ll have to excuse my PJs, but check out that fur! I’m so chuffed with this technique! #warhammer #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #spacewolves
