I remember, when I was young, curling up on the sofa to watch Sharpe with my dad. It feels nice to have finished up this lovely model from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social and be able to share it with him- he doesn't quite *get* this hobby of mine, but this I think he does appreciate. #nerdlings

At the very Apex of the Path To Glory lies the Daemon Prince, resplendent, terrifying and utterly bent on dominating all life. Lots of little experiments on this piece, son worked, others less so #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

We’ve plans for Borodino 1812 later this year. And you can’t have Borodino without the flèches and the iconic church. So here’s the church. 3d printed model.

Boiling down the essence of Vampires into a single model, Lady Annika shows Courtly nobility being used as an literal mask for deranged beastly horror. I really like the lines and flow of this model, and the balance of feral and elegant features #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdkings

Rising again from their thousand-year-old tombs, the Barrow Knights ride again against the living. Sporting a lovely mix of cloth, metal and bone, for a great mix of textures #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

The Wight King, perched atop his long-dead warhorse is a delightful character. At first glance, a puppet like any other skeleton, a closer look reveals a grim intellect and an undying hatred of the living #Warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #Nerdlings

Much like how knitting (a feminine-coded activity) is relegated to "crafts," while sculptures (a masculine-coded activity) is elevated to the "arts," it's assumed that this sort of stuff isn't "serious" and thus subject to harsher scrutiny.

Most people would use chips, dice or even note paper to track memorians, but I'm firmly of the opinion that these figures firmly help shore up the big weakness of the Stormcast Eternals- Not Enough Weird Little Guys #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #minipainting

Grim and thoughtful,the Lord Terminos is an ominous, foreboding figure. I love the lines and flow on this figure, and how they emphasise the patient, steady pose. #paintingWarhammer #minipainting #Warhammercommunity

Gunnar Brand and his Oathbound Kin. I really like these Narrative Weirdo Warbands as a way to bring cool thematic warbands into AoS whilst still being impactful and not too janky. It's a great excuse to push things a little when painting #WarhammerCommunity #Paintingwarhammer #Nerdlings

Great time at Warhammer World yesterday, managed to bring home Best Painted (in a very tough crowd!) And took 6th overall! Really reccomend the Weekday Warhammer events, a really lovely time, and the format was a really nice approachable change of pace. Also- @nickbayton.bsky.social photo bomb!

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Hendrick, the Silver Wolf. Probably my favourite sculpt of the squad, he's world-weary, leaning on his axe, and holds a dagger ready to stab, implying the constant betrayals he has to inflict to stop Naeve discovering her true past #WarhammerCommunity #paintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

Naeve Blacktalon, ready to do Sigmar's bidding! I really like the awkward balance this character toes of genuinely trying to help people whilst also being very much a carefully controlled weapon. #WarhammerCommunity #paintingWarhammer #nerdlings

Naeve Blacktalon. She is... having a wonderful time.

I really like these from Suggz- The minis are an expercise in body horror, and unfortunately the Eavy Metal style kinda neutered that. With bolder, more visceral tones, more grime and gore, we go from "this is weird and bad," to "This is deeply weird, what happened to these *people* oh no,"

Minor IP interlude- Following the Thatcher's case, Aldi have quietly and without any fuss started amending the trade dress of their products to be less similar to the Big Brands. Neat to see abstract court cases having an (albeit limited) impact in my daily life

BEANZ! Aldi Beans- note that the badge is now a slice of Toast, not a shield, and it's a deep blue background, not a red one. Gold doesn't significantly feature in the design, but orange is used more prominently as a spot colour.

The old Aldi design- much closer to Heinz's Beans.

This angry Khornite Knight (try saying that three times quickly!) Can outrun many things on his way into battle, but he can't outrun the creeping uncertainty that his anger is really just a reflection of his need to form meaningful connections #warhammercommunity #Paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

A red Knight on a red horse. His tatty white Cape is all mucky! He must have been careless with some strawberry jam
