The Animals of Farthing Wood absolutely fucked me up as a kid.

Many mice impaled on throns by some rude evil bird.

I sculpted these little trolls and @ramshacklegames.bsky.social cast them and then I forgot to do anything with them, but now I have painted them.

I was going to save this for a fancy board at Armies on Parade later this month. But since that's not happening, here's the fully completed Craftworld Aeldari Combat Patrol! #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

The Craftworld Aeldari Combat Patrol consisting of a Farseer, Guardian Defenders, Jetbikes, Wraithguard, & a Wraithlord.
They are painted in turquoise, black, & light grey, with magenta spot colours.

Installed Knulli in my RG CubeXX essentially turning it into a Pico8 handheld. Splore works great, can browse games over WiFi and save them for play offline. My son is learning to code pico8 games so he's thrilled to be able to show his friends his game running on a handheld 😁

It's pretty fun coming up with some interesting mini dioramas for the base of my mega gargant.

An unpainted WIP model of a medieval peasant sat on an outhouse toilet. The outhouse has been smashed around him leaving him understandably a little confused and rather perturbed.

The model outhouse and peasant in place on the base of a huge giant model striding past in the background. The giant has just knocked the top of the outhouse leaving the fortunate peasant behind.

Homeward bound. Stopped for a coffee and they're playing the same Faye Webster song I was listening to in the car 😅. What are the chances of that. Good coffee too.

Flat white Oak milk coffee in a cute mug.

Extended family movie night in the airbnb. Keeping the real spooky stuff for later, so we're watching an absolute modern classic with Paranorman. We've seen this many times as a family and it literally never gets old. Funny as heck, beautiful stop motion and a lot of heart. #filmsky #horrorsky

Finished There is No Antimemetics Division this arvo. Had a wonderful time with this. If you like SCP/X-Files/Fringe style subject matter you will get a lot out of this. Very heady and weird scifi concepts presented with heart, in a very easy to read and consistently entertaining manner.

Had a game of innovation. Only the second time playing this bizzare game. Things did not go well for me for most of the game then I caused a nuclear explosion which wiped the entire board and won by scoring two cards 😅 #boardgames

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, colored pencil, a little crayon, and charcoal pencil.

Our guy pulls up deep in the forest on his 2-speed bike. He’s flanked by tall dark trees and his path is blocked by a massive spider. He lets the Big Fella know it’s on. “Big Fella,” he says. “I fixed my 2-speed. You still wanna race.” Reader, you know Big Fella wants in on that action. Next slide.

Against a starry night sky we see silhouettes of Big Fella and our man racing down a hill. It’s unclear in the drawing who will win but Big Fella is likely about to pull away.

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 3 by @rat-bag.bsky.social a very mid entry #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

look it was a busy month and I didn’t have a ton of time so here’s me rebuilding a ww2 plane kit (a Corsair from airfix I think?) that I previously used for parts for other things then tore back off and rebuilt along with some other misc junk to bulk up the mid section and change the silhouette a bit. Also I’m so glad those luftwaffe decals from the wingtips I used didn’t show through. Picture 4 shows the model pre paint as proof it’s not QUITE as lazy as it looks

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 15 by @loganshobbylair.bsky.social "Grot Tank Kitbash" #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

Looted guard equipment is hanging from the tank's turret, and a skull is mounted at the top of the tanks antenna. The tank treads are caked in orange red dust kicked up from the environment."

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 4 by @tristanwelsh.bsky.social Maximum Goberdrive #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A large red scratch built Grot Tank with a huge green goblin head for the turret. The tanks barrel is sticking out in place of it's nose and a large blue hat can be seen on top. The hat has a hinge near the top where the tip is opened up revealing a Grot with a large machine gun. On top of the hat is a Git holding on for dear life with a large artillery shell on top of it's head.

The tank is covered with many other Grots and Gitz. Some riding on the end of the barrel, others sticking out the aides of the tank with a variety of weapons. One is even hanging from the large ear of the goblin turret head. Two large boosters can be seen on the back of the tank. The whole thing is heavily weathered with chipping and rustball over.

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 6 by @tammi.bsky.social Mr Rumbles, Hero of the Revolution!! And Keiko! #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A close-up glamour shot of the gloriously pink Hero of the Revolution, Mr Rumbles, an armoured fighting vehicle with all-terrain tracks, extra armour, a large calibre heavy machine gun and cute little ears welded to his turret. His green sensor lens is bright, like his future, and he proudly wears the number 4 of his former unit - 4 The Revolution! Blurred by distance behind him is Keiko, pointing the way.

Among the rubble and ruins, Mr Rumbles, machine gun pointing up and forward, is alert and ready to follow the mission of his friend and companion at his side, Keiko! She has her arm out, showing the way, and looks fabulous in her pink jumpsuit that matches Mr Rumbles' armour plating! She carries a sub-machine gun and wears ear defenders with extra cat ears, just like her robot buddy! You guessed it, it was Keiko that welded those ears onto the turret of the broken AFV-4 and named him Mr Rumbles after she reactivated him.

A sad Mr Rumbles tilts his turret down as he realises the mission involves yet more death and destruction. Sure, he's a top-of-the-range armoured fighting vehicle, he was built for this, and Keiko seems happy when he's all BLAM-BA-BLAM-BA-BLAM and turning the Bad Guys into meat chunks, but isn't there more to life? Keiko hasn't even noticed he's sad.
Oh well.

A top-down view as Mr Rumbles and Keiko advance through the rubble heading to victory.
