Decided I wanted one of the new Spectre Squad Kill Teams. Just finished assembling them, with some minor kit-bashing. They remind me of the old Veteran Squads, which I always liked. But some things, like the end of the missile launcher, needed some work...
An Imperial Guard Spectre Squad, with some minor changes.

Closing out the core Kingdom Death set at long last with the Gold Smoke Knight itself. Not a bad miniature to paint, and I especially liked the little touches on the base...which the pictures don't really show very well...oh well. #kingdomdeath #miniatures #kingdomdeathmonster

Worked on more Kingdom Death over the weekend, since I'm getting close to having all the core Monsters painted. The Phoenix was a challenge even with my limited colors approach, but I do like how it came out. It's wonderfully grotesque. #kingdomdeathmonster #miniatures

As planned I spent some time this weekend assembling and painting some Kingdom Death stuff, most notably Slenderman. He didn't come out quite as well as I had hoped, but I still like the mini. He'll surely be a great opponent in the next campaign. #kingdomdeathmonster #kingdomdeath #miniatures

As promised, some more Eldar, this time a Spiritseer. I already have a few Wraiths for him to lead but there's more waiting for paint. But they'll have to wait, as I've got some Kingdom Death stuff to work on next... #Eldar #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #miniatures

Finished up the Dire Avengers over the weekend, after finally settling back into a painting groove after a long work trip. I still like painting Eldar, and will probably stick with them for a while yet. #Eldar #miniatures #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

Finished my first Dire Avenger - probably the only painting I'll finish before my next work trip. Kept the colors standard, same for an accent on the crest. I like the model, which is good because I have nine more waiting for me. #warhammer40k #gamesworkshop #miniatures #eldar

Eldar reinforcements assembled. Now comes the hard part - figuring out who gets painted first. Fortunately I need to pick up a few new paints first, so I've still got time to think... #warhammer40k #miniatures #gamesworkshop #eldar

Finished my first Aspect Warriors - some Dark Reapers. Still learning the best way to paint Eldar infantry, and puzzling over how to best mix Aspect Warrior colors with my Craftworld's colors... #warhammer40k #miniatures #eldar

Calling the Wave Serpent complete. I had fun painting it, but it did require doing it in sections prior to final assembly, which I don't usually do. Also I still hate painting canopies. #warhammer40k #Eldar #gamesworkshop #miniatures

With the Space Marines finished I've decided to start reinforcing my small Craftworld Eldar. Next up is - my first Wave Serpent, which still has a long way to go, but we're making progress! #warhammer40k #eldar #gamesworkshop #miniatures

Finally finished off my last Squad to call my Horus Heresy Ultramarines "complete" - a Locutarus Storm Squad. Needed some 3d printed power swords to make them work, and I'm very happy to have this project finally done! #ultramarines #horusheresy #miniatures #spacemarines

Extended the weekend a bit to finish up a mini that's been sitting around basecoated for months - an Avatar of Khaine for my (pretty small) Craftworld Eldar army. I do like how they came out, at long last (and it's nice to paint something other then marines). #warhammer40k #eldar

Hobby time has been for Hades II of late, but I found time to paint a destroyed Vindicator that a friend printed for me. This time it's the Astral Claws that get represented in wreckage, since I'll be accused of favoritism if I wreck more Red Scorpion stuff. #warhammer40k #badabwar #spacemarines

Finished some more Legion Heavy Support last night - we'll more like 99%. I still need to touch up a few details, but it's nice to have another unit off the painting table. I'm getting pretty close to closing out my Heresy-era marines... #gamesworkshop #warhammer40k #horusheresy #ultramarines

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 10/04/2026
Some more Ultramarines, who showed up late for #MarchforMacragge. It's OK - as Nemesis Destroyers they prefer to keep to themselves anyway. #warhammer40k #spacemarines #horusheresy

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
Back from a work trip and still keeping up with #MarchforMacragge, this time with some Horus Heresy quad launchers for my Ultramarines. One old version in resin and two of the newer plastics. I think they work together pretty well. #warhammer40k #horusheresy

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
Still using #MarchforMacragge as motivation, this time for a Master of Signals for Horus Heresy. He got kitbashed rather than paying for the official model, but he's close enough. Now he just needs some backup... #warhammer40k #horusheresy

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 08/03/2026
They're not quite Ultramarines, but I decided to start #MarchforMacragge with the rest of my Novamarines Tactical Squad. These ones are some Black Reach models and a converted Melta Biker if I recall correctly... #warhammer40k #badabwar #gamesworkshop

So the new table is more Kill Team sized than full 40k, so I decided I needed some terrain. Chose the Hivestorm Volkus set and took a week to get them this far - assembled, based and washed. More to come as they get touched up. #warhammer #killteam #gamesworkshop

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
Finished up a Novamarines Captain that I started this weekend. I'm not sure I need a Captain to lead half a Tactical Squad, but maybe he'll inspire me to paint more... #warhammer40k #badabwar #spacemarines

No painting right now due to actual work, so I figured I'd get some of my old Badab work organized - first up are the Astral Claws. They were the first Badab chapter I worked on, to oppose friends' Red Scorpions and Carcharadons. #gamesworkshop #warhammer40k #spacemarines #badabwar

First High Elf I've painted in some time - a Sea Guard Commander that I kitbashed (the head is from the Prince set, the spear is a mix of a standard and an Archer sword, and the quiver is also from the Achers). He's still on an old (8th Edition) base, like all my stuff. #warhammer #highelves

More Lamenters for a snowy day - this time five more Tacticals to complete my squad. These ones are slightly more modern (for Firstborn) but they fit in fine. I even tried adding a few Maelstrom Warden sigil. #gamesworkshop #spacemarines #badabwar #miniatures

First painted miniatures of 2026 - the rest of the Lamenters Terminator Squad. It's nice to be back to painting checkerboard patterns, although my yellows are running low... #gamesworkshop #warhammer40k #spacemarines #badabwar

I still have plenty of Kingdom Death models waiting, but that's never stopped me from building more. This time it's a Black Friday purchase - The Lonely Tree! It's a cool model but I recommend a build guide. I also adjusted some limbs with green stuff to change how the fruit hangs. #kingdomdeath

Back to Kingdom Death - this time with some aspirational Survivors (a True Blade with the Black Sword and a Lantern Armor Tank) and another Nemesis - The Hand. Still sticking with the minimal colors, which I am really liking. #kingdomdeath #miniatures

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
I needed some color after my Kingdom Death miniatures so I decided on some Badab War reinforcements - this time a Lamenters Terminator Sergeant. I love the Chapter but those shoulder pads are a hassle... #gamesworkshop #spacemarines #badabwar #miniatures

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 21/11/2025
Another week's work of Kingdom Death - some more early game Survivors, a King's Man, and the Watcher. All in all fun times, although the assembly of the Watcher was a but fiddly... Next up I need some armored Survivors, and maybe The Hand. #kingdomdeath #miniatures #boardgames

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
Back to painting with some Kingdom Death - some Survivors and their nemesis, The Butcher. I'm really enjoying the limited color scheme (and it's fairly quick too). #miniatures #kingdomdeath #boardgames

Still using the new table to play more games. It's too small for Kingdom Death, but it's perfect for Rise of the Orks. Like several of the Space Marine games I made my own versions of the Marines, as I thought they made more sense Deathwatch... #warhammer #gamesworkshop #spacemarines #miniatures

oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 02/11/2025
Still working out which games fit the new table. It's a little small for Space Hulk but was perfect for some Badab War-themed Betrayal at Calth with the Salamanders facing down the traitorous Astral Claws. #warhammer #badabwar #gamesworkshop #gaming

Been too busy with work to do much painting of late, but I am getting the gaming room organized at least. My current project is sorting out my long-buried Middle Earth CCG cards...

Finally got the painting setup up at the new place. First miniatures are some more Badab War Space Marines- some Novamarines!

The latest reinforcements for the Lamenters is finished - a Furioso Dreadnought. I have entirely too many Dreadnoughts, and have tried to paint one for most of the Badab War Chapters that I've painted.

Back from a lovely Florida visit to visit my wife's friends. Among many fun places, I highly recommend the Morikami Museum and Gardens. Truly lovely.

Had a great game day last night. Played some classic L5R, Tyranid Attack, Firefly and Senjutsu.

The results of a week with the flu - a group of Goliaths from the Necromunda Underworld box.

Finished the last of my Esthers from Necromunda: Underworld. Took longer than expected, due to the flu.

2025 is already shaping up to be a year that's going to require a lot of miniatures for me to get through.
