Bar last bits, thats a 2200 point Renegade Ogres list done! Kroaks monument will be run as my Lord on Thundertusk proxy - already checked with @sixdiceskills.bsky.social All set in a Jungle theme, so having Ogres and miscreants chasing feral hogs seemed nicely on brand! What do you think?

Worth an ask, has anyone converted up their Redd the Maw from the #OgorMawtribes and have this guy left over? Integral conversion piece for my lord on "Thundertusk" conversion 😀 I'm Wales/UK based if it matters

So 10 days ago, I managed to suffer another bout of Bells Palsy, losing the use of my right eye since then 10 poor warhammerless days! This morning, with 1 semi-working left eye, I managed to glue some hobgrotz to bases for my Jungle Ogres. It's a start! Cookie Monster to represent my eyes atm :)

Morning time post, this time with handy undercoat to see where it's at. Liking it so far, I think the theme is strong enough and plenty of ideas for the paint scheme when I get to that point. What do you think folks?

Started the basing for the Lustrian Jungle Ogre Kingdoms. Probably going to take more work on it yet, but it's starting to come together. Needs more branches and debris when this all dries tomorrow. #OgreKingdoms #OldWorld

So usually this is my hobby account, but since I'm 1 shy of 800 followers, worth using that reach :D Outside of our wargaming hobby, I actually own my own business teaching First Aid, Food Hygiene, Fire Safety and other training courses. And this week, we're agreed to take our own premises! Phew!

Jungle Cathayan Ogres so far. Few more bits needed for the army, but really enjoying working on them, and keen to start painting at some point in the future! #OldWorld #OgreKingdoms

@sixdiceskills.bsky.social can I get a rules check for your Old World events? This is the next part of my Jungle/Cathayan Ogres. What will become a proxy for a Tyrant on Thundertusk "But how will you add the ice theme to it?" I have a plan, as long as the proxy is ok?

Saturday hobby progress on my Ogre Kingoms. Pausing to do housework, and then back to it later hopefully as I get closer to finishing the build portion of the army. Plenty of conversions to go though!

I have a strong suspicion that every army looks better with Cathayan peasant hats. New Old World Ogres in progress.

Off to play a 1250 point Old World event at Warhammer World next Wednesday. Probably need to paint an army... so I present my Knights of the Pestilent Wind - a mono Nurgle Warhost. I'm gonna get so battered in games, but the conversions have been fun!

Love the new Skaven models, but wanted something a little "Extra" for mine for games of #Mordheim and possibly #OldWorld in the future. Either way, I think these little ratmen are kinda cool... What do you think?

Lancer Chris @tatters1717.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
5 definitely trustworthy chaps... Waiting for some bits to arrive in the post to complete the conversions and get some unique looks, but they hopefully look alright for heading into the ruined City of #Mordheim! #Skaven #OldWorld

Lancer Chris @tatters1717.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
Friend mentioned Mordheim, inevitable happens... Quick head and arm/weapon change and a good 'ol square base, Skaven Seer-Adept is built and now undercoated a nice teal green/blue. And I can paint them as individuals, so dont need to wait for the new Clan Skyre to get released!

Off to the GW Narrative event in Newport and I'm taking my Arbites Precinct. Does mean needing to finish converting the last of them and then getting going with the painting! Slowly working at taking away the Ultramarine symbols, a change of head and the Arbites-Investigator is getting there.

Finished work for the week, lost my voice (no cheering at the back!) and a few days to recover before heading to a castle library for larp on Friday. Bring on the toy soldiers to get ready for an event next month!

Lancer Chris @tatters1717.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Last few bases arriving tomorrow, movement trays and more bases probably early next week. Thats about 2.4k of Old World Warriors of Nurgle done here. Once the basing is sorted, then no more excuses and I have to start painting for next month

Finished "N3vill3" my #DarkMechanicum Brood Error for the #HorusHeresy Whilst I'd love to start painting him next, I really have to do these Nurgle Warriors first! #Warmongers #TheHorusHeresy #Mechanicum

Got half an hours worth of painting done yesterday, first time picking up a brush in 12-18 months I think. Loads more to do yet on this as a tester, but pretty happy as a starter before working on the actual army. #OldWorld #Warhammer #WarriorsOfChaos #Nurgle

Working on a #DarkMechanicum "Brood Error" Not sure what I would run it as, but good fun to build some far, inspired by someone on Instagram. #HorusHeresy #40k #Admech #DarkMechanicus

New #AoS Sloven Knights are awesome models, but massively monopose! Got them ranked up for the Old World, just need to tweak them for variety now. Might have to buy some rotswords tomorrow if I can. #Warhammer #OldWorld #WarriorsOfChaos @squarebasedpodcast.bsky.social

2026 will be my year of Warhammer The Old World, trying to get this army painted and taken to some events. Whilst most is built and undercoated, one of the last things was the Nurgle Lord on Dragon - The whole army is Nurgle! This is him, nearing completion! Basing and tweaks to go!

Work load has been too much recently to work on something new for Warhammer World this weekend, so the Knights of Ni shall stride to war once more! Just got to paint 4 autocannon to replace those Pulsars and then the list is done. #ImperialKnights #WarhammerCommunity #40k

Real life is getting busier and busier, so with 2 weeks until the 40k GT at Warhammer World, the back up plan of running Imperial Knights for the first time in a year could be instigated. The Knave of Hearts may see battlefield once more! #WarhammerCommunity #ImperialKnights

I just need the older style Deathmask helmets to arrive in the post, and the first 3 are essentially done, bar a bit of gap filling. Really happy with these avenging angels! Could easily see this jumping from a 1k to 2k army now. Even with Emperor's Children around the corner! #WarhammerCommunity

So until I can pick up a Gladiator Reaper for my #Ultramarines, thought I'd make a start on my next project - 1000 points of #BloodAngels for a doubles event in April with a mate running Dark Angels. I wanted something more... angelic... fornmy Sanguinary Guard #WarhammerCommunity #40k

#PrecinctA55 is nearly fully built! Still need to decide how I'm adding Autocannons to the Heavy Sentinels to count as Helverins, and I have a converted Inquisitor Corteaz and 3 Rogue Trader hangers-on, left to build. 5 weeks until the event, and I want a painting nomination... #Warmongers #40k

Lancer Chris @tatters1717.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
I always felt that the Arbites needed an Ed-209 style support walker, and then as if by luck, the Imperial Army in 30k received the Aethon Heavy Sentinel. With a suitably large base, it's as good as a match (some detailing on the base will sort that) Need the autocannon to arrive in the post now!

Two more Sentinels on the way, one more Breacher squad to finish and a few necromunda hired guns to acquire for Rogue trader entourages and then that's army complete for Warhammer World on Feb. Then the joys of painting it all these cops #NewYearNewArmy #PrecinctA55 #Warmongers #40k

Arbites themed Armiger, WIP. The Melta probably needs scaling back a little, but I think this hits the mark for extreme riot suppression for the army. What do you think? #WarhammerCommunity #PrecinctA55 #Arbites #ImperialAgents #40k

Lancer Chris @tatters1717.bsky.social · 27/12/2024
So I'd been pondering a conversion for running 3 Armiger Helverins for my Arbites army for events next year. Browsing the shelves today buying bits and realised the Aethon isn't too dissimilar to an Armiger in size. Conversion incoming... #WarhammerCommunity #PrecinctA55

If you have anything you want to sneak into the house, Christmas Eve is the day to do it. Can just rush through the door carrying anything saying “DON’T LOOK! DON’T LOOK!” and people will close their eyes. Next thing, you’re eating a bucket of KFC safely in the bathroom!

Imperial Fist Kill Team (Counts as Deathwatch Veterans for my Space Cops army) Another part of the army built, just need to build 1 and a half more squads of Palanites and a squad of Arbites Then sort some Rogue Trader hangers on when they're back in stock #WarhammerCommunity #40k #ImperialFists

Subtle reposing of Guilliman's Hand of Dominion arm, shoulder pad just balanced atm as that needs a tweak. Sword arm just blutac'd in place at the moment, will decide on tweaking that element tomorrow. But happy enough so far I think #WarhammerCommunity #Ultramarines #40k #Warhammer40k
