Blue sky #miniaturepainting folks, what is your go-to for painting something to look like dirt? I’ve been using Rhinox hide, agrax earthshade, gorthor brown and baneblade brown (all GW paints) and it just looks like heat-damaged chocolate. Pic for attention and example. #minipainting #nerdlings

I am working up the courage to paint mothman minis for fallout:wasteland warfare, but want to try something a bit interesting with the mothman colours. Anyone know of any cool looking moths? Bonus points if they’d be found in the area the game’s based on. #nerdlings #moths #mothman #fallout

Oops, forgot to post these two. I had to make one look as much like Conan as possible. #falloutwastelandwarfare #falloutfactions #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

A poster for a World MS Day event. There's an image of a demyelinating nerve at the top, & 3 brain icons at the bottom sit beside a photo of Dragancaor (a white nonbinary person with long blue hair). The text reads: World MS Day. MS affects 2.8 million people worldwide. 33,000 Australian's live with MS. Dragancaor is one of them.

I really don’t understand Bsky sometimes, but I like it. Anyway, here’s a doggo from #falloutwastelandwarfare. Hashtags I don’t quite understand how to use yet: #miniaturepainting #fallout #paintingminis

Painted up a hug monster from Fallout. The pre-assembled nature gave me a bit of trouble, but I’m really proud of how it turned out. #falloutwastelandwarfare #falloutfactions #fallout #paintingminiatures

Second mini from the Wasteland Warfare box. Also, if anyone can point me in the direction of a good wasteland warfare feed, they’ll have my undying thanks. #falloutwastelandwarfare #falloutfactions #modiphius

First miniature done for Fallout: Wasteland warfare. The base ended up far too shiny thanks to a mishap with Vallejo Ultra Matte varnish, so I slathered it in pigment powder

I am randomly reminded of my Year 7 History teacher, who spent most lessons talking about hunting (inc. hunting kangaroos with a machine gun), fishing (inc. shooting Jet Skiiers) and building crossbows capable of shooting through multiple metal trash cans. In retrospect 1/2

Did a little bit of (very wonky) freehand on the tabard/robot loincloth. What’s that called, anyway? The pattern down the bottom is from a hand fail/flail, so I turned it into something deliberate. #chaosknights #chaos #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40000

After obsessively reading the Martha Wells Murderbot Diaries books in an unhealthily short period of time, I’m humbly seeking recommendations for a new series to obsessively read. #booksky #scifi #sff

A question for anyone who knows about gaming PCs… are small form factor gaming pcs worth it if space is limited, or would I be paying a premium for a smaller, yet less powerful tower? #pcgaming #pc #gamingpc #ihavenoideawhatimdoing

People talk about The Mummy being their bisexual awakening movie, but I feel that not enough people talk about Cruel Intentions as their non-binary bisexual chaos goblin awakening movie.

Another very early WIP. Starting to get an idea of what the pink will look like, also quite happy with the cape. #paintingminiatures #paintingwarhammer #plaguemarines #nurgle #warhammer40000

Posting a very early WIP. Armour itself will go up to a magenta/pink. Because pink plague marines are the best. #paintingminiatures #paintingwarhammer #plaguemarines #nurgle

Another of the ruinous roots is now complete. Once again from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social I am having far too much fun painting these!

I once listened to Matchbox 20 extremely intently because someone I was interested in was super into them. I’ve now forgotten their name, but the Matchbox 20 ick remains.

My wife was waxing lyrical about Walton Goggins, but then felt the need to assuage my masculinity and possible feelings of jealousy. I was like, no, he is a very attractive man. Then we started talking about how much of a shame it was that he got veneers. I don't believe in celebrity passes, but

First of the Ruinous Roots minis from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social is finished! I’m definitely stoked with the way it came out, and I’ve got the next one primed and ready to go! #paintingminiatures #paintingminis #grimdark

WIP of a “ruinous roots” mini from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social Haven’t had this much fun going wild with paint in a while, these minis have so much character.

A half-painted resin miniature of three very angry looking root vegetables. Two are painted as carrots and one is loosely based on a parsnip. The parsnip is holding a shield made from a carrot roundel.

My order from @ramshacklegames.bsky.social has arrived, and I am so freaking excited! I absolutely cannot believe the quality of the casts - I’m used to buying resin minis with plenty of imperfections and bubbles, but these are all exquisite.

Just finished reading “A House with Good Bones” by T. Kingfisher. Threaded through with quiet humour, a great horror novel that’s deeply unsettling at times.

I am, and always will be absolutely in awe of people who can paint a fully assembled miniature. I'm recently doing it, and the parts I can't reach properly are taunting me.

Next up, chaos sorcerer for my traitor guard/chaos cultists. Very simple conversion, but I had an extra Tzarketh. I might also do some (barely) converted flagellants to go along with them. #paintingwarhammer #kitbash #warhammer40000 #traitorguard #chaosspacemarines

Something has made its home in the cardboard box I use as a “spray booth” when priming miniatures. I’m guessing mud daubing wasps, but could be tyranids. Yeah, probably tyranids. #probablytyranids #wasps #hymenoptera

Finished my Benefictus. I am really loving the GSC models these days. Very happy with how the model turned out, but need to figure out how to paint the ribbed mining suits better. #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40000 #genestealercults #gsc

Genestealer Cult Benefictus model from Games Workshop. The model shows some humanoid and some alien features, and looks like it has a headache.

A very quick, and very dirty grot, to test painting green.
