This week, I have been mostly revisiting some of my old Turnip28 creations.

This weekend I also finished the last of my Necromunda Ratskins. Time to womble to eBay to pick up the others 😃

Made a start on some of the Orc team from Blood Bowl third edition. Here they are with their 2016 equivalents 😃

I heard you struck my son. Yes, sir, I did. And may I ask why? Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog. Oh.

Made a start on repainting my old Necromunda Delaque gang. These were the most unlucky gang I ever ran in a Necromunda campaign. Every encounter, something awful happened to them. Injuries and deaths aplenty. Eventually I retired them, explaining they were all drafted into the Imperial Guard 😅

With second edition 40k and Necromunda, the reliving of my childhood has a new addition. Third edition Blood Bowl. We played this throughout the school holidays in 1994. 32 years later I get to finally acquire a copy of my own in a staggeringly awesome condition. Nostalgia 🥲

My Necromunda Ratskins now have goblin green bases, 90s underhive stylee. Six more to add to this war party. Trying to manoeuvre miniatures around this old scenery took me back to games of Necromunda where nimble dexterity was most definitely a required skill.

Everything completed so far for my 40k second edition Ultramarines. Went full on 90s aesthetic and goblin green bases in June. No regrets 😀

I really rather enjoyed painting these 😀

Captain in Terminator armour finished today. This means I've completed at least one of every HQ option from the Codex 😀

Bit of Mercenaries tonight. No DLC. No live service. No having to be online. No lootboxes. No half finished game. No pay to win. Just blowing shit up any way you want to.

Some more peasant levy and archers for Barons' War. Plastic kits by Wargames Atlantic from the starter box. I will get the two starter retinues completed eventually.

When you don't want to mortgage your internal organs to afford an original 40k Tarantula so you build your own instead 😀

Made a start on a Viking warband for Pillage. Lovely plastic Viking kit by Victrix 👍

Another eBay restoration completed with this 40k second edition Marneus Calgar. There's something infinitely satisfying about these old miniature restoration projects 😀

First tactical squad for my 40k second edition Ultramarines finally completed. When this is all done and dusted, I'm never painting yellow trim ever again.....

Some more 40k second edition tomfoolery this week. Chaplain and Librarian added to my Ultramarines and Plague Marines given some new 90s style basing 😀

With the Armies of the Commonwealth book now out for Bolt Action, I've started stripping and repainting my Australians that I painted in 2018. Five Jungle Infantry finished as a test to get the colour scheme sorted.

On Point HQ @onpointhq.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
When Warlord Games announced they were releasing plastic weapons teams for Bolt Action, I was rather intrigued. I picked this PAK40 up at the store opening earlier this month. Excellent kit all round. I added two kitbashed kneeling crew because I can never really build kits without tinkering 😃

More reinforcements for my second edition 40k Ultramarines. Plastic Terminator squad from 96/97. These were bought painted in about 12 layers of paint and was quite the restoration job. Always enjoy bringing new life to old miniatures 😀

Another second edition 40k bucket list miniature painted - Eversor assassin from 1997. The weather has absolutely battered my painting time recently. This afternoon I learned that painting 90s style hazard stripes on Terminator power fists in 30 degrees is deeply unpleasant.

31. 31 degrees and rising. Genetically, I'm not built for this.

As it was too warm last night to paint, I decided to go through all my copies of White Dwarf. My main period of collecting was between 1992 and 1997. 1993 and 1995 are complete and I only need to find 8 copies I've misplaced over the years for rest. 1991 after that as that's the year it began 😀

Had a few days off this week, so I was able to make some progress on my 40k second edition Ultramarines. Tactical Combat squad added and the Dreadnought has been given a second edition aesthetic update. Last pics are everything so far 😃

In a thread yesterday, I mentioned that 141 was my first copy of White Dwarf. This is the oldest copy I own though, bought from a friend because I loved the article about Ork Madboyz. The 'eavy metal back page....absolute perfection.

It's been quite the retro weekend with some epic Space Marine inspired by my recent Goblin Green basing. Another corking game with some great memories 😃

Assault marine combat squad for my 40k second edition Ultramarines project. I haven't painted anything in this style since the 1990s. Oh the nostalgia 😃

My favourite piece of John Blanche artwork among so many when I discovered the 40k universe. A timeless aesthetic and perpetual inspiration. Sad, sad times.

Finally doing something I've wanted to do for a while.....turning my generic Space Marines into Ultramarines on 25mm goblin green bases. Feels like a proper second edition 40k army now. Lots more to do but super chuffed with these 😃

Some early 90s miniatures given the Biostrip treatment tonight. Therapeutic and seeing these fantastic sculpts emerge from over 30 years of paint was awesome.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. This chap clearly loves his job. Without a doubt, my favourite piece of artwork from the Rogue Trader 40k rulebook.

More US Airborne finished. This weekend I realised four is the limit for batch painting for the sake of my sanity. Then shalt paint to four, no more, no less. Four shall be the number thou shalt paint, and the number of the painting shall be four. Five shalt thou not paint. Six is right out.

Four test miniatures for a new Bolt Action project conceived after rewatching Band of Brothers....101st Airborne and the Battle of Carentan. In other news, online articles on painting D-Day US Airborne uniforms is a rabbit hole I never want to enter ever again.
