oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 24/09/2026There are worse reasons to lose out on sleep. 😉 000
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Decided 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... 0202
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I'm always only a phone call away, you know. 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Closing 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 091
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Worked 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 171
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Thanks! I really enjoyed working out the base, although it could have used a bit more time modeling. And yes, Kingdom Death makes some glorious models. 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 17/08/2026As 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 181
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 15/08/2026As 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 0101
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Finished 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 0182
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 26/07/2026It's not too much pizza. It's just too little time for that pizza. 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 18/07/2026That was always where I drew the line too. 😄 000
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I've always liked the darker red for Blood Ravens myself, but I don't think there's a wrong answer here. 110
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Finished 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 0355
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Where to next? April 3, 2006 - the first in-game microtransaction? 000
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 08/07/2026That's an impressive amount of dakka. 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Eldar 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 090
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I don't know much about Chaos, but I like the stripes. Maybe a little brighter purple/punk on the flesh as a contrast? 120
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Finished 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 081
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Best of luck in closing that last dungeon down! ...and thrn maybe on to DW3? 😇 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 21/06/2026You are absolutely right - it's just a Work In Progress until everything snaps together. 000
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Best of luck! I'm sure it can be done - I just got a bit spooked trying to get the canopy pieces aligned. 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Calling 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 3725
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Still one of my favorites - I've been there. 😆 020
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 14/06/2026With 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 080
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Thanks! It is indeed nice to close out a project - all the more because I manage it so rarely. 😁 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Finally 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 1202
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 16/05/2026We should all be so lucky to still have Cheeto time. 020
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Extended 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 0121
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Hobby 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 0101
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Finished 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 0101
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Some more Ultramarines, who showed up late for #MarchforMacragge. It's OK - as Nemesis Destroyers they prefer to keep to themselves anyway. #warhammer40k #spacemarines #horusheresy 0151
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I'm digging the 90s color scheme myself. 000
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Loving the colors, especially on the vehicles! 110
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Back 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 0171
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I do love the contrast, but I do fear you're right about the pumpkin vibes... 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Still 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 0121
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 08/03/2026They'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 0121
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 27/02/2026So 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 0111
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Hey thanks for sharing your thoughts. The cape was a head-scratcher - I was originally going to go with red (which are standard for my Ultramarines' capes) but I decided to try something different. I'm still a bit torn on the results too... 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Finished 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 1356
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Agreed - this week can see free to burst into flame. 😑 010
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Thanks! I've got a sampling of other Badab chapters that I'll probably post, but the Claws were my first of their kind. 020
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 11/02/2026No 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 191
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I stuck with the Ultramarines for a long time, until I ran across the Badab War, and ended up with a little bit of everything from Astral Claws to Fire Hawks... 110
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 30/01/2026First 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 0141
oldgamesmethods.bsky.social @oldgamesmethods.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Seems like your day is going well. 😇 100
