Hello again, Bluesky. It's been a while. Here's a WIP from last Friday's stream. Maybe I'll finish it tonight

Oh weak! Sorry to hear! I only saw them for the first time the other day and was hyped to jump down the rabbit hole 😭

Stupid ideas often grow to be the most creative projects. Can't wait!

I saw this 2.5D dreadnought on Cults and couldn't resist #oldhammer

Well hopefully you find the time and energy for some paint flinging! Sometimes it feels like I have to force myself into the painting chair, but once I'm there I couldn't be happier

Thanks! I've kicked myself right down a rabbit hole and I think I'll be on the Oldhammer juice for a while!

If you follow me on IG you've already seen these, but I've been sharing pics of a bunch of Oldhammer-inspired dudes I painted up. I even got one of those rad gradient backdrops. Really having a blast with the nostalgia! I really need to get better at sharing on Bluesky 😅 #oldhammer

Over the weekend the SoCal Hobbit League hosted a other monthly tournament at SquadMarks in Garden Grove! Somehow we even managed 16 unique legions! So glad to see the community for the game grow around these parts! #mesbg

I've had this idea for years and finally got around to making a pocket version of Brawl Arcane using 10mm Argatoria models and a travel chess board. I think it works rather well! #minipainting #brawlarcane28

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character, wrong answers only.

I got my start in the hobby with 2nd Ed Warhammer 40k when I was a kid. After a long break I came back to the hobby and it's taken 5-6 years back at the painting desk to circle more or less back to the beginning. Technically this is a new sculpt in the old style, but it feels like home. #oldhammer

I keep telling myself that I need to post more on Bluesky. So here's some cool pics from this weekend's SoCal Hobbit League tournament! Can't wait for the next one in April! #socalhobbitleague

Been a minute since I've posted, but I've been painting right along! Got pulled into Bloodbowl and that's been a hoot #miniaturepainting #bloodbowl

I found this Warhammer ziggurat built and primed in a box of junk sprues marked "free". So I adopted it and slapped some colour on it! #miniaturepainting #argatoria #ageofsigmar

I'm in no rush, but I'm sure I'll end up there eventually! 😝

You know, I've painted Gandalf 7 times now. Nearly a full fellowship 😂 #miniaturepainting #lotr #mesbg #gandalf

PaintWaterSommelier @painth2osommelier.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

I've been painting a bunch of stuff for a Shire army for LOTR, starting with Gandalf riding into town on his cart! #lotr #gandalf #mesbg #miniaturepainting

Gondor calls for Artillery! Now that the rest of the game has rules, I'm inspired to expand my existing Minas Tirith army. I decided an "artillery division" sounded like a good time (for me, not my opponent 😝) #miniaturepainting #lotr #nerdlings

You know he might just be! Though the fun lore twist might be that he's more of a card player and he's cursed with a name and family heraldry that makes people think otherwise! 😝

The last of my Halfling Knights from the Half Tilt starter set, Sir Rooksborough! #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Scripture Guardians wander the wastelands, hunting for ancient holy texts amongst the crumbling remains of lost civilizations #trenchcrusade #nerdlings

I'm running out of Halfling Jousters to paint, but that's not a bad thing! I finally have enough painted up to actually play some Half Tilt and I'm stoked! #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

Planning ahead a smidge for my Knights of Avarice warband, I swapped all of the lightning bolts on this electro mage from Bestiarum Miniatures and converted her to a Gas Witch! #Trenchcrusade #nerdlings

PaintWaterSommelier @painth2osommelier.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

In the last round of our Trench Crusade campaign, my warband uncovered a Book of Golems in the aftermath. I already have a pair of daemonettes based together to act as my War Wolf, and I thought that a third one its own would make for a nice thematic golem proxy. #trenchcrusade #nerdlings

It's been a long while since I painted any Unmatched miniatures, and had a lot of fun painting Dr. Sattler and Dr. Malcom from one of the Jurassic Park sets! #miniaturepainting #jurassicpark

PaintWaterSommelier @painth2osommelier.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Another character for my heretic Trench Crusade warband, this time with a big gun! #miniaturepainting #trenchcrusade

Jousting with a lute is certainly a choice... Maybe he'll rock his opponents right out of their saddles! #miniaturepainting #halftilt

Apparently I haven't been sharing the Halfling knights I've been painting from the Half Tilt starter box! #miniaturepainting #ttcombat

The growing pains of not being great at social media and forgetting to cross post here when I post over on Instagram... Here's a big dude with a hammer I whipped up real quick for my Trench Crusade warband #trenchcrusade #miniaturepainting

Some progress pics for my May the Bust project Trying to convey whatever colour "Octarine" may be with this Rincewind bust from Micro Art Studios. It's been a fun project so far! #wip #miniaturepainting

Thanks! I tried for a whole "Rohan will burn" theme for my whole Dunland army!

I'm attempting to try a different legion every month for this year's series of LOTR tournaments. Last month I played Usurpers of Edoras, and this month I'll try the Beseigers of the Hornburg! That means I get to try out Shank, Wrot, and the Snow Troll! #mesbg #miniaturepainting

I've been painting heroes for my Dunland army for MESBG. Here's my take on General Targg! #miniaturepainting #lotr
