I got materials to try and sculpt a miniature, and now I can't actually decide what to make

mangosicle @mangosicle.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

When folks do bases for minis, what do y'all use for bricks/tiles/etc? Ive mostly been making bases with rocks and coffee grounds but i wanna try new stuff. #nerdlings #minipainting

Its taken a long time, but I'm finally done with my venomcrawler! It's the biggest mini I've painted so far, which is neat. Next up is basing, i've got some new ideas to try #minipainting #nerdlings#WarhammerCommunity

really is a motherfucker knowing that if dem leadership/seniority signaled that trans rights were worth standing up for, every single person scolding and berating about how this sacrifice just HAS to happen would 180 overnight to "we draw the line here. abandoning people in need would be cruel"

I hate when i get stuff to use for a future project, put it somewhere, and then when i want to use it, it has simply ceased to exist

lol liberals don't realize how much they've adopted nationalism and how much minorities have adopted nationalism in turn. everyone's quickly going to do a "if we burn you burn with us" attitude unless people get this shit together and have a damn spine to attack the right wing directly

Unironically writing out all the stuff i want to do outside of work has been super refreshing as opposed to keeping track of it all in my head. It sounds hella obvious in retrospect but sometimes I just forget.

I've finally gotten a chance to paint since moving, so here's a very in-progress pic of my venomcrawler, mostly just blocking in the red, and some trim. Hyped to hopefully have more time for art now. #minipainting #nerdlings#WarhammerCommunity

Pieces of venomcrawler, red with grey trim, and gold spikes.

Finally got around to finishing up the chaos lord. I wasnt even too lazy to make the base this time! I wasnt sold on the first raptor but I'm liking the green and brass. Tried some variation on the sort of muddy bases ive done for other models. #WarhammerCommunity #minipainting #nerdlings

Grocery stores feel like they've gotten way more dystopian over time imo. Ads on shopping carts, ads over the loudspeaker constantly. Truly a hellscape built by the "shareholders"

Progress on my chaos lord, the second of my raptors (from the newish killteam). Slowly and steadily working on the trim while i put off figuring out his misc bits. #minipainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

Finally decided to try my hand at basing again, just a simple mud texture I've never been able to get right. I think I'm happy with it, now i just need to figure out getting more variety in basing materials. Two very different minis aesthetically, lol. #minipainting #nerdlings

Green chaos marine, perched on ruins in mud.

One of my friends got me a box of quar, so I've started painting those to get back in the swing of things. Still need to figure out basing, I just keep putting it off. #quar #minipainting #nerdlings

mangosicle @mangosicle.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Played the demo for Ardenfall recently. It looks promising and kind of scratches the itch I have for elder scrolls-esque games, so I'm hopeful about it. Visually its not my favorite, but that's alright.

Despite trying new techniques for skin on every beastman, I still do not understand skin very well. Here's my latest #wip attempt, trying to add depth with yellows and purples. #minipainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

In progress beastman, with kislev, purple, and yellow skin.

It's odd to think about how we're in a state of decay and collapse, with rampant inequality, suffering, and hate but we also have to get up and go about our days like it's all fine and things will magically resolve themselves. It really is a second Gilded Age.

I've been trying to learn how to make red armor pop more, so I've been trying some stuff on one pauldron. Between these two I'm not really sure what I prefer. I'm not super familiar with layering, so any feedback would be great ! #minipainting #WarhammerCommunity

Chaos Marine Obliterator, with red pauldron. This is a word bearer red base, with carroburg wash, and some lighter red glazes.

A Chaos Marine obliterator, with one red pauldron. This is word bearer red + carroburg crimson.

What kind of miniatures do folks paint ? I've got Warhammer minis because I like kind of having a bunch of minis that "go together" visually, but I'm interested in looking into other minis (partly due to cost, but also just to branch out). #minipainting
