Just finished my first model of the year! I’ve been struggling with focus but it’s good to get part of the backlog chalked off. Onto the next mini… #warhammmer40k #nerdlings #tau #kroot #miniaturepainting

So with 2025 coming to a close, & my hobby progress has been slowing down, I’m reflecting on the year. I’ve painted more models than I thought (I need to do a proper review & head count soon) & even won some trophies! #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings #warhammer40k

Having a massive hobby slump but finally managed to get a game in… not quite what I had in mind 😂 #warhammer #nerdlings #tau #necromunda #snakesandladders

I’d love to say that was mine but it was my doubles partner… maybe one day I’ll grab one but not any time soon 😂

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

The tau have made a solid start to bringing the greater good with @dave_hobby_corner. Time for a rest to start again tomorrow. #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings #Tau #Kroot #40kDoubles #throneofskulls

Guess who made the conversion with the wrong size base and now has to fix it🤦‍♂️ #warhammer40k #Tau #nerdlings #kroot #kitbash

The clock is ticketing to get everything completed before this weekend’s #ThroneOfSkulls. Who else will be joining me & @dave_hobby_corner at the tables of Warhammer World? #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #WIP #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings #Tau #Kroot #40kDoubles

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Working on some farstalkers and currently trying to decide on a colour for the birdie boy. Any suggestions? #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #WIP #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings #Tau #Kroot

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

So my Kroot Ethereal on ‘Hover Drone’ is done. Onto the next unit for the 40K doubles at the end of the month. #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot #kitbash #warhamfam #miniaturepainting

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Not a lot of hobby completed recently but I have been updating some more Clone troopers… I may finish painting a model soon. #nerdlings #starwarslegion #WIP #miniaturepainting #CloneWars

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

After a lot of failed hobby session attempts &a big motivational slump. I finally got some paint on a model but discovered 2 of my paints have gone funky. But progress is progress. #nerdlings #starwarslegion #WIP #miniaturepainting #CloneWars #3dprint

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

So the Ethereal conversion for the Throne of Skulls doubles is pretty much done (bar a little gap filling). Would you accept this as a Kroot Ethereal on ‘Hover Drone’? #warhammer40k #WIP #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot #kitbash #warhamfam

0120

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Recently I have been struggling to focus on doing any hobby. But I’ve started converting again ready for the Throne of Skulls doubles in October . #warhammer40k #WIP #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot #kitbash #warhamfam

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

I’ve been struggling to motivate myself to paint some more orange on my Orks. Any progress is good progress. #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WIP #Orks #warhamfam

0201

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

I’ve started converting another warboss but I need to wait for some greenstuff before I can prime him. I’m liking the progress so far. #warhammer40k #WIPWednseday #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Orks #kitbash #warhamfam

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

After a very long hiatus, me and @dave_hobby_corner will be heading back to Nottingham for an event. Now to decide on a a list and get some hobby mojo back. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #nerdlings

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

I have had a bit of a hobby slump so tried to build & undercoat some ork boyz… but this buggar ran out & I have no back up. 😡 #warhammer40k #miniaturepaintingfail #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Orks

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

After this weekend’s event I’m planning on revamping old models. I think next on the painting table is my long put off Battle Wagon…can I stay focused on the biggest model I’ve revisited yet. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Orks

0322

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Competed in another doubles event with @dave_hobby_corner. Some great close games & a 50% win result. I was very pleased to walk away with another painting award for my Ork Nobz unit. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Orks

060

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

So the list was put - & in after a tie across all voting platforms I panicked & decided on the Bully Boyz! First game trialled last night with@dave_hobby_corner & lost partly due to failing 2 big charges… what have I done? 😂 #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #warhammer40k #orks

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Ok guys I’m going to a 500 point doubles 40K event and I’m split on whether to take Orks or Kroot. So what does the general public think?? (Leave comments below as to which I should take). #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WarhamFam #Tau #Kroot #Ork #Grots

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

A bit of painting on the Deff Dread before I make better efforts to hide the joins of the fixes. I do like a bit of odd Orky freehand work. #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WIP #Orks #miniaturerescue

0331

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Ok… I’m not really a Khorne guy but this model is screaming at me to be painted .

030

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Oh no… Deff Dread got knocked on the floor and exploded 🤦‍♂️ Repair job number 2 underway. #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WIP #Orks #miniaturerescue

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

After intensively painting Kroot I think I needed a change. Time to dig out a secondhand Deff Dread that needed a little repair. Time to paint some orange! #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WIP #Orks #miniaturerescue

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

Attended WRT one day 40K event in Southampton & my Kroot walked away with best painted army. Know if only I could play well 😂 #warhammer40k #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot

0170

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Almost got my Tau for the event tomorrow… only 3 piranhas and a butt load of drones to finish later tonight. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot

0161

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Feel free to copy- I’d love to see them when they’re done. Thank you for the kind words. It’s always nice to hear that any little part of my hobby efforts is seen by someone and helps inspire them to try something different.

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Here are the finished pics of some of the second hand models I got from The Warp …very pleased with the glow up. Ready to use them on Saturday. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #kroot #miniaturerescue

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

If I can get all these finished today, it’ll mean just painting 3 piranhas and drones for Saturday…. A big ask 😬 #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot #WIPWednesday.

0221

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

With the clock ticking I need to get some models finished pronto. First up on the desk is the pack of hounds! #warhammer_40k #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #WIP #Tau #Kroot

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Fortunately it broke shortly after it was built… meant I had the spare Finecast fists… I always forget how unforgiving working with finecast is 🤬😂

000

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I had to swap out the hands to the fiat options many years ago as I snapped off all the Finecast fingers 😂

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

I’ve also finished Broadside number 2 and 3 (I think I’ll just leave all drone options until the rest of the 2k has been painted). #warhammercommunity #Tau #nerdlings #Warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #warhamfam

0392

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

So I’ve committed to attending a local event in 2 weeks. I’m wanting to take my Tau so now need to try & finish enough points to field 2000 points… it’s a big ask seeing as I only finished the first 1k at the end of April😬 #warhammercommunity #Tau #nerdlings #warhammer40k

000

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Finally complete my first broadside, he’s been sat part finished for a shameful amount of time. Don’t worry - normal blue Kroot drive will resume soon. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Received my delivery of #miniaturerescue models from @thewarpuk. Already started on the clean up and repair the models and eager to get them painted. #warhammer_40k #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #WIP #Tau #Kroot

0131

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Finished the Kroot Warshaper. I’m enjoying smaller batches of models at a slower pace. #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Tau #Kroot

0332

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

So I was going to take a break from painting blue Kroot… so I started painting more blue Kroot 🤦‍♂️😂 #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WIP #Tau #Kroot

0190

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

After painting many Kroot I decided a little pallet cleanser was needed. Began work on a classic miniature rescue this #WIPWednesday. #WarhammerCommunity #nerdlings #WIP #miniaturepainting #Necromunda #Cawdor

papapompaints.bsky.social @papapompaints.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Thank you for the compliment I appreciate it. I’ll always share paint recipes and how I do things if people are e curious, as we all borrow a little from each other which helps the hobby grow (&maybe means I’ll see other cool models for my own inspiration).
