I finished my first mini for Necropolis, a really cool indie skirmish game. I had a lot of fun playing with texture and lighting on this guy. The main mini and the crow are official STLs from the game that you can get on their Patreon.

Hot take: this should already be about 2,000 points of Space Marines. Make them as good as they’re supposed to be. Maybe a tank or dreadnought and another small squad to round it out, but not like 25 more models!

Had a lot of fun trying my hand at recreating some of that classic John Blanche style using the Masterclass sets from @thearmypainter.bsky.social - the one 'outside' paint I allowed myself was Plate Mail Metal for highlights. Not sure I quite hit Blanchitsu heights, but that was a great exercise!

My newest rendition of my Heretic Priest! When Khyan of the Eighth Circle found the Armor of Cobar during our campaign I knew it was the perfect excuse to redo my leader. The main body is from a Soulblight Gravelords hero with lots of various Trench Crusade accoutrements added on.

Baron of Dice was nice enough to send me some of the new Prussian dice from their official partnership with @trenchcrusade.bsky.social & I decided it was a great opportunity to take a pic of my warband as they currently stand. I still have a few models to add. 😊

I painted up some of the new Highland Miniatures zombies the other night as test minis. This is a super quick scheme that’s mostly just a zenithal primed, Speedpaint, and an all over drybrush. It’s mean to be fast and look good as a big group cause you know you’ll need a whole horde.

Now that the Halo show is on Netflix and available to a wider audience, I definitely recommend you go give it a watch. Season 1 is rough, but Season 2 really kicks things off and is much, much better.

Was thinking about getting the Drukhari box since the new Archon is sweet & the selection of units is good, but $240 for about 600 points of models is too much for me. Half of it is the pricing, but the other issue is just how severely under pointed everything in 40K is. Armies should be smaller.

I finished up the Heretic Priest to lead my warband last night. I’m particularly happy with the outside of the cape & his one boot. 😂 I don’t normally do this sketchier style of painting with lots of texture & visible brush strokes, but I’m really enjoying it & think it suits the setting perfectly.
