Got this big boy all finished too, did a few more touchups since this photo shoot but nothing worth redoing the shoot over. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Tyranid screamer killer model finished in a semi grim dark style.

Tyranid Parasite of Mortrex all finished, really happy with how it turned out. Feels good to get a model finished after such a long break. Special mention to the custom made Cornish hedge as the kit's connection piece is ugly. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

A month since the last update :0, been too hot to paint. Please enjoy today's effort to get back to some kind of painting routine. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

5 Tyranid hormagaunts mostly painted. Missing details, wash and base.

Gf and I spent a few hours painting today, me adding contrast and wash to the screamer-killer and her vibing on her spore mine pet project. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

40k screamer killer with some wash and contrast added, close to finished.

40k spore mines, 2 close to finished, one mostly wraithbone white still.

Stuck in an endless cycle of needing touchups to clean up the mistakes of the previous touchups. Send help. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Tyranid screamer killer mostly painted with many tiny mistakes.

Blobby of Mortrex finished and based. Was not going to make it dark and gorey but it was too bright on the shelf next to the rest of the hive fleet. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer #mrblobby

Close up face of the Blobby of Mortrex, tiny hint of the green eye.

Still alive and trying to paint when I can. Just got a morning of painting in trying out the airbrush Santa got me. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Updated picture of the finished army so far. Didn't get too much completed last year, hoping to have 2k battle ready soon. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Around 500 points of a build and painted Tyranid army.

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Last model of 2025 finished. Magnets are hard. Got lazy on some of the detailing but mostly happy overall. Hoping to get 2000 points worth finished by the end of next year. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Been a while since my last update, still getting my hand back after surgery. Got this guy mostly finished, they are my first magnetised model, will finish the base and get it photo ready this week. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

Finished up the 10 man squad finally. Ready to move onto a big model now I think. Bio/Pyro-vore, psychophage or screamer killer ? #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Ten bug squad of termagants painted and based.

2 of the squad painted and based in a bit more detail.

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Cats disappointed in my lack of progress, few details done on the gaunt squad but still feels like so much left to do. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

A grumpy cat overlooks slow mini painting progress.

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

Finally got them finished, 3 grim and 3 extra grim. Really need to take better photos in better lighting. This will have to do for now. #tyranids #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

Touchups and washing done, a tad too dark but still very happy. Only the base and possibly some gore to finish them off. Really happy to be this close to finishing my first models post-surgery. #tyranids #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Von Ryan's are taking a lot of time and effort to paint, mostly done, just the details and washes to go. Sadly I ran out of weekend so these wont get finished for a while now. #tyranids #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

6 half painted Von Ryan's from the Tyranid 40k army.

Von Ryan's up next, would love to get these guys finished before the end of my holiday. Lesson learned the hard way to paint the top arm clawy talon things before glueing, the carapace is going to be a nightmare. Such a great model and unit to play. #tyranids #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Squad all finished, feels good to be back to painting and to finish these guys up. The wash ended up darker than intended but other than that I'm happy with how these turned out. What to paint next ? #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

070

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Undersides all finished (the part you never see when they are on the stands). Faces and backs left to do. Might have them finished today, probably tomorrow. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

More progress on the gargs, slow going with my recovery and being out of practice. Hoping to have them finished up in the next few days. Plenty of work still to go. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Apologies to my die hard fans, had emergency surgery on my hand and was unable to paint for a while. Back at it now, starting easy with some base coat and contrast on these gargoyles. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

First game played and lost :( super close game came down to killing the dreadnought to win or lose on the final turn and my t-fex failed me, as he did all game failing to hit anything with the rupture cannon. #warhammercommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

About to play my first table top game of 40k. 1k army, far from perfect, made up of whatever I had built and somewhat painted so far. Wish me luck.

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

Huge priming session complete, all ready for painting in the extra daylight we have coming soon #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Quickly getting this chonky boi built ready for my first real life game next week. Sadly won't be painted in time. Tyrannofex has to be one of my favourite models in 40k. #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Wolves finished up for now. Gf called them twilight wolves and now I can't unsee it. Doggo distraction is over, back to Tyranids next. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Fine details are not a strong point and they are feeling very mono coloured even tho that was the plan. Mostly just glad to be back painting again. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #paintingwarhammer

Step 1 complete, finally back to painting after a medical scare and just not feeling up for it. Who should get the full treatment first ?

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Finished my first character and largest tyranid so far.

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Any tips and tricks people here have for barbguant guns? Mine is still missing a dry brush but it's also missing something else I can't quite put my finger on.

MikeQuackenBerry @mikequackenberry.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

Embarrassingly proud of my second attempt at a fade on my tyranid primes wings.
