Realized at 1 am i forgot to get a bat mini for dnd today so i got out the milliput and uh... Yeah this is my little guy. Comms open, 5000 dollars for one of these masterpieces money now please #minipainting #dnd

A little model of what one could very charitably call a bat. More of a blob with wings.
He's leather brown and glue to the tip of a nail, which is itself glued to the underside of a tealight

The back of said blob. I do actually like how i did the wings

Took a break from rat painting to go see The Day the Earth Blew Up. Its really very charming and you should go see it if you ever enjoyed looney tunes

Tremble in fear, man-thing! Painted in (almost) a single sitting, heres a fun grey seer. I keep priming models dark grey, thinking 'oh i should try contrasts again', realizing they dont work well on it and getting sad. The entire first session was just 3 layers of green contrast #minipainting #aos

Skaven grey seer
Rat man with white fur, pink tail and beady red eyes. Classic lab rat colors.
He's wearing a forest (?) Green robe with some gold ornamentation and holding a golden dagger and wooden staff with a metal religious icon on top. This rat, unlike most rats, has 4 horns, two that curve around his ears like ram horns and two that point up more like antelope horns. How does he put his robes on with those big pokers??
He's standing on top of a cracked copper bell, half sunk into the mud, and a swarm of normal-rat-sized black rats are pouring out of it.

The same rat from the other side. From this angle you can see a scroll of some type strapped to his back and a book at his hip with a dark cover and you can just barely see that it has a green icon of the horned rat on its cover. It doesnt stand out very well under the kitchen light.

If his fur is white does that mean he's not a grey seer? Is this a gandalf sort of situation?

Warpblaster is done. Enough. ...For now. I'll fix the clan rats eventually idk why that one guy is SO dusty looking The mud did not behave at all like it was supposed to and i dont now why, but it achieved the spirit of my intention if not the letter i guess. #minipainting #aos

Skaven warpblaster - a big carriage mounted gatling gun pushed by four lowly clanrats - probably by skavenslave actually, but are they even allowed to touch warp machines? The metal components are done in tarnished copper, and the engineer gunner is in brass armor and a green rob with matching gask mask. The 4 cart pushers get dark blue robes and some cheap iron chain mail. The cart is set up like a tricycle with one BIG wheel in front and two small in the back, and its being pushed through thick, wet mud

Been a while since a hobby post. I like making clanrats schlep through gunk, so im doing a mud base with a new recipe After the pva mixture set up and shrinks a little im going to put some water effects in the wheel ruts. Might look awful, we'll see. #minipainting #aos

The base of a ratling warpblaster. The base is covered in brown pva glue and texture paste in prep for a mud scheme

Just found out that in MH Wilds when you catch the largest variant of a fish (gold crown icon) theres a unique animation and your hunter goes "Woo!" I just think its real charming how stoked my little dude is about this even though she punches dragons for a living

As an addendum to that post: i got this request (which i love dearlyl) filled by anonymous artist in an art thread. If you know who did this (or are that person!) i want to commission them. Help me find them? If youre that person and you dont do comms thats fine too, just reach out :)

Wilds consumed all my hobby time so here's a thing i did a while ago. I got some art done of my D&D character for a campaign i was in and printed it onto a magic card for giggles. He's foil. Worth the effort of printing at home? Prob not. One of my prized possessions? Yes. I also did my party too

A custom magic the gathering card depicting Mozpoz Fish, Hat Collector.
Fish is actually spelled ghoti on the card but im assuming youre parsing this alt text through a screen reader.
The art is of a dapper rabbit man in green waders and a bucket hat with a fishing rod strung like a bow.
If you dont care about actual card text, stop your screen reader now
3 generic mana, 2 blue mana; legendary creature - idiot. 4/4 with double krumpin (doublestrike) and an activated ability:
"Tap: your opponent must tell you today's weather forecast"
Flavor text: "he's just a small guy. Just a little fella"

Ive just 'finished' wilds HR last night so now im going to pretend like people care about my opinion Wilds is fantastic, a nearly perfect experience. The people complaining about difficulty (hi its me im that guy) are overselling how impactful that actually is, cause it feels ORGASMIC to play 1/?

Nailbudday @nailbudday.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

I know ots supposed to show how Nata has grown as a character but the fact that the very last thing we do in the story is confirm that his guy is free and capable and then IMMEDIATELY put it down like a rabid dog is just so funny to me

My one actual gripe with mh wilds, bot gameplay design but real moment to moment gaming: If i accept a research request to capture an endemic that ive already caught, why the FUCK do i have to catch another? The tub at basecamp has a rufflizard I caught in it why do you need a new one?? Greedy ass

After a 14 hour session with MH Wilds yesterday i can confideny say that its well worth the price of admission, its really good, and i probably wont do anything else for the next month THAT SAID: i understand exactly what the reviewers meant when they said it was too easy and i mostly agree

Nihilakh oxide, my beloved. Skaven engineers strike me as the types to keep their stuff gross on purpose. Not only because it shows how many battles their rig survived, but also that they have the skill to know EXACTLY how shit fucked their machines can be before they explode #minipainting #skaven

Ratling warpblaster model. An emormous gatling gun mounted on a cart pushed by four lowly clanrats and operated by a warpstone engineer sitting behind the main gun body. The clanrats are various shades of brown and dressed in tattered night-blue rags. The engineer is a lighter brown, and is wearing a gas mask, corroded brass armor and green robes. The gun itself is corroded copper.

My hobby curse is that i'm incapable of walking out of a store without a bottle of nihilakh oxide in my hands. I have six bottles of it and i just cant stop. Do other people have that? Things they simply cant stop themselves doing or buying when youre at the hobby shop?

#wipwednesday Its #skaven warpblaster time. Did i drop this and snap it in half 10 minutes into painting? Yes. Can i get to the hard to reach bits easier now? Also yes. Silver linings lmao Gonna get all the base colors in and then tarnish the shit out of it. #minipainting

Half-painted skaven warpblaster which is like.... a giant gatling gun mounted on a cart pushed by four lowly clanrats and manned by a fifth gunner rat.
The metals are broght copper, the clanrats have dark blue clothes and the gunner has green robes.

Assembling some #skaven right now and im honestly so fucking jealous of how easy aos players have it. Clawlord on gnaw beast is like 14 parts. Grey seer is 5. Both push-fit. A #necron flayed one is 11 parts. A psychomancer is TWENTY EIGHT. For one infantry character!

Clawlord on gnawbeast. A rat-man riding a rat-dog. Hes got a cool back spike thing with skull impaled on it and a polearm

Bit the bullet, got out the pin vise, and did a little more damage to the model than intended in the process - the paint job is easily fixed ig. But she's got a string now! Have i actually *improved* the model doing this? Probably not. It does make me happy tho. #burrowsandbadgers #minipainting

Painted model of a rabbit archer, the same one i ppsted a while ago. Ive added a bowstring in the form of some low test fishing line, and taken off more than a little paint trying to drill a hole for it

No models to post today so here's a hot take: have painting friends that are mean to you. Not as mean to you as you are to yourself but like a LITTLE mean. Not even necesarily critics, but people who will look at your guy and go "still too lazy to drill barrels, huh?" You need them #minipainting

You know what really rankles me even though its literally inconsequential? Coworkers putting the wrong trendlines on a graph. All our data is comparative, it doesnt matter that one of the responses is logarithmic because theyre 40 units apart on average. I know it doesnt matter, but... it feels bad

Rebbit. Another #burrowsandbadgers and the first oathsworn minis model i painted. Debating adding a bowstring but i didnt think about it until AFTER i had painted it and the idea of drilling through my paintjob irks and terrifies me. Decisions, decisions #minipainting

WIP mole seeress from #burrowsandbadgers No quips for this one, i just think she's neat. #minipainting

Model of a mole lady holding a cryatal ball with a fun orange and purple dress and a purple bandana.
Is 'seer' a gendered enough word that she needs to be a "seer ess"? I think it sounds kinda goofy and unintuitive.

Nailbudday @nailbudday.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

I find that the Army Painter washes color and flow great, but are kind of incredibly glossy. Usually this is a problem, but when you need to paint wet viscera, it just saves you a step instead. Screaming goat from #KDM in my traditionally lazy monster style #minipainting

Screaming goat model from kingdom death. He's a very, very normal goat done in black and white, with red glaze on his eyes and horns

The same goat from another angle. I lied, he is not normal at all and his entire torso is hollow. Painted that red too.

Wildcat hustler from Oathsworn miniatures You ever just pick colors as you go and accidentally theme your guys? I got all the way to this point before looking at him and thinking "Fuck he's Halloween". So it was that the entire warband was Halloween. #minipainting #burrowsandbadgers

Wildcat hustler from burrows and badgers. A big cat guy with a fun stovetop hat, a big axe and a peacoat/button shirt combo.
The shirt is orange, the peacoat is a bright purple, the axe is axe colored, and the hat is black with an orange ribbon. The cat himself is black and dark orange bands with green eyes. He has a shifty look, like somebody who's about to sell you a bridge

Here's my tabletop hot take for the day: your prices should be weirder. If youre not playing in a post scarcity setting shit should be random as fuck. Wine? You want a glass of WINE? 60 gold pieces 'But it was 4 silver a town over!' Yeah. THAT town has a vineyard. This one doesnt. #dnd #ttrpg

#necron immortal I think this was the first guy i ever did fluoro paints on so it still looks sloppy as hell under uv, but i dont love him any less for it. Running out of necrons to post, might have to actually do something with the shame pile. A terrifying thought. #minipainting

Necron immortal painted like skelwton in tarnished brass armor. He's standibg on what i like to think looks like turf in frobt of a tombstone and he has his big fuckoff tesla carbine front and center with some purple tubes.
The grass looks absolutely ridiculoys from this angle and its literally the same height as the base. I still love my chunky weird turf though

The same immortal under blacklight. The power tubes, little battery magazine thing, gun coils and his eyeball all glow pink
