I post about toy soldiers here. Warhammer Fantasy/The Old World and Blood Bowl, mainly, but occasionally other games too. Bit unusual but means well. He/Him.

A smashing day out at the BBALL tournament in London yesterday! Some top-tier coaches to push myself against, and a respectable 7th-place finish for the BBBL as a team. Lots of notes on how to improve my game for next time! #BloodBowl
A nervous Underworld line faces up to three angry treemen. I drew this game 1-1, after the gnomes pulled off a last minute equaliser.Chaos Renegades and Underworld prepare to go to war over the ball, currently being held by a Gutter Runner. I won this game 1-0!An OWA team shows why they're feared. There are linerats and goblins scattered all over the place. A 2-0 loss.An interesting pitch designed to look like a Japanese peace garden,although there's nothing peaceful about it! A narrow 2-1 loss here.

These models were released 26 years apart, but I feel like they are similar enough that they can still hang together and not look too strange. More thoughts in the alt text. #orks #armageddon #warhammer40k #warhammertheoldworld #mordheim #orcs #orcsandgoblins #warhammercommunity #warhammer
2000 is definitely not when I painted the old orc. I was starting high school that year and while I had seen Warhammer a year before in a visit to France, it hadn't made its way to Romania yet. I was also feeling pretty mature about myself and not interested in toys at all.

Here are a few thoughts on new vs old:

Obviously, the tooling is much better now. The moldline and undercuts are much subtler on the modern sculpts. The new one had many more details which I just removed. I enlarged the eyes on the old one so I could paint them easier.

Body type: I do prefer the gorilla anatomy of the old model, with its longer arms and shorter feet. They are mushroom creatures so it feels correct when they have stranger anatomy.

Heads: I might prefer the new heads. Orcs released in the last few years have looked really vicious and feral, but these new ones are a bit goofy again, which is a big plus for me and the first thing that made me interested in them.

Hands: The hands are just a bit smaller to the point they are almost interchangeable, depending on your OCD.

Weapons: I like that they've made the weapons smaller. I think it makes the orcs seem larger in comparison.

My ideal old world orc for when GW does them?
Go back to the gorilla anatomy, but most importantly make the faces goofy!

Can't really imagine getting into space marines at this stage, to be honest. Fair play if the new stuff is for you, but the range refresh has been a bit too extreme for me.

An ironic thing about Trench Crusade is that “World War I where you have to shoot demons” feels less grimdark a setting than the actually existing “World War I where you have to shoot the 19 year-old you played soccer with during the Christmas of 1914.”

A brutal brawl - but in the end, there can only be one winner! Once again, the Hel Fenn Howlers come to a halt at the Plate quarter-finals, with Hashuters' Guide to the Galaxy advancing to the semis. Well done to a very worthy opponent! #BloodBowl

I find comments like these very interesting and quite touching tbh, I think they help explain why some famous people end up getting the love they do. In entertainment, where so much is shallow and skin-deep, sincerity, authenticity and passion always finds a following.

Here is my submission to Olden Demon 2026. I was hoping to spend more time on it but life got in the way and I had to rush to get it finished last minute. #warhammertheoldworld #paintingwarhammer #miniaturepainting #mordheim #ageofsigmar #oldendemon
I would especially like to improve the halberd head, I think the flat side is the worst part. The feather needs some work too. I think the armor is pretty good though I might need to lighten up the green reflections on it quite a bit as they are too subtle. 

I am very happy with what I was able to do with the face. I don't usually paint humans and this sculpt is quite soft. I was going to add the red stripes on back of the pant leg, but ran out of time. The light side of the stones should be much higher in value, but I painted the base in about 5 minutes.

A big surprise to me is that I don't hate the green base rim. I still might paint it black eventually as I will want this guy to fit my old world collection.

John Blanche's art has always been a defining part of my favourite imagined worlds. I'd particularly like to highlight the art he did for Dreadfleet - lesser known compared to his 40k work , but for me, these endure as my favourite pieces from his monumental portfolio of work. RIP.
