I paint minis, sometimes retro, sometimes modern, almost always Warhammer.
A messy painting desk with 20 completed goblins.

Finished the shootas, it's nice to knock 20 minis off the pile of shame!
After agonising for a while , I decided to paint my arachnarok's flinger. You don't need to glue it on. It turns your deep striking monster into a mobile artillery piece. Not a good one, but it has some interesting utility.
A squad of 20 gloomspite gitz shootas.
#hobbystreak day 613
I've now gotten all 20 shootas up to the same standard. Just eyes, teeth, and bases to go.
I know they aren't the fanciest models, but it's nice to make some really rapid progress. They have enough detail to evocative, while being easy to paint.
Exactly right, black undercoat, waagh flesh baaecoat, then a white spray zenithal and ghillie dew to finish.

A bunch of partially painted gloomspite gitz shootas
#hobbystreak day 611
The first batch of 7 shootas is essentially done. I just need to do eyes, teeth and bases.
The next wave of 7 are basecoated, ready for their zenithal spray.
Each wave is taking about 2 hours to do, so around 20 mins a mini, certainly not bad for swarm infantry.

Busy few days, the endless spells got finished, and they even debuted in their first game yesterday.
Meanwhile, I'm working on the pre-zenithal shading for the shootas, and I've finished painting the Tallard missile trooper.

Some of you may remember that I came upon @anthonybath.bsky.social's classic Tallarn desert raiders army as seen in WD214.
Tragically, one of the troops from that White Dwarf photo shoot is awol bar his arm.
So I've taken it upon myself to fix up that mistake. Hopefully I'm doing it justice!

#hobbystreak day 604
Some great progress on the endless spells. The moon andushroom are finished, with the cauldron only a few coats behind.
The spider swarm I've decided to go with relatively muted colours. I think this will offset my otherwise bright army with a creepy vibe for that one spell.
The gloomspite gitz endless spells in front of a unit of shootas
#hobbystreak day 601 (for yesterday)
Finished assembling the unit of 20 shootas. Fear my ineffective shooting that puts a ridiculous amount of control on objectives.
Started on the pre-zenithal coats for the endless spells... except the spiders, I can't decide on the colours for the spiders.
8 assembled goblins in front of a classic whfb night goblin box. Next to them, the endless spells are sprayed black with some liquid greenstuff on them.
#hobbystreak day 599
Assembled and sprayed the endless spells. Before realising how bad those gaps were!
Also started on a unit of shootas, it would be nice to have a bit more ranged in my army, and more standard gitz are always great*
*ok they're trash, but you can hide fanatics inside.
22 spiderfang miniatures from Age of Sigmar gloomspite gitz. Painted in a predominantly purple paint scheme.
Is anyone feeling itchy?
Finished off the last of the batch of 15 spider riders, so my spiderfang regiment is now complete.
A lovely collection of purple people eaters. Hopefully, they don't suffer the newly painted model curse on game night this week!

#hobbystreak day 596
The spider swarms is continuing to grow! Started on the bases this morning while my son had a lie-in.
Not much left to do after those, some highlights on small details like eyes and the metallics, maybe another pass on the spears and I'll have 15 new spider riders!

#hobbystreak day 593
Now that the third layer of magos purple is done, the spider riders are really speeding up.
Tonight, I got red details on the spiders, goblin skin, and yellow feathers/shields all painted up.
The project suddenly feels far more completable!
15 goblin spider riders part painted
5 metal penitant engines, 3 fully assembled, 2 missing some arms
#hobbystreak day 591
I've been a little quiet of late, batch painting 15 spiders is slow going, especially because magis purple needs 3 coats to look how i like it.
Also I've been repairing some penitant engines for a friend. The old metal ones, so lots of drilling and pinning!
True, they are 10 a penny, just a weird thing for a start collecting style box.
I guess the logic is it pushes the new players to want to buy more to get their full rules.
Is it an absolutely great combo box to mix with leviathan/starter set nids?
Yes.
Is it led by the monster that injects people with Ripper swarms?
Yes.
Doesn't include any Ripper swarms to spawn when that happens?
No.

#hobbystreak day 586
My hobby desk has been overrun by the scuttletide!
While I technically have 2k points of painted gitz now, about 300 points are misc infantry, which don't have the right support.
These 15 new spider riders will replace them handily, giving me a 2k list I like!

Who's got 8 eyes, sharp fangs, and an abdomen that just don't quit?
It's Big Momma! Finally ready to hit the table!
As a happy coincidence, she also takes my gitz army to to 1990 points! I'm still very much on the road to improving that force, but I can play a full game!
Also finished the Hive Tyrant from the Combat Patrol Premium Pack

An unpainted catachan jungle fighter aiming a flamer in the mouth of a large purple spider mini.
This Catachan jungle fighter is hanging around my painting desk while I paimt my Arachnarok spider.
I assume that this is how the Catachan people hunt (and cook) breakfast!
Spent some time today shading and highlighting the purple chitin on the spider.
The heroes ready to take on the dangers of Middle earth. Painted in a slap-chop style

Project complete!
All the minis painted for LotR Journeys in Middle Earth.
Love the feeling of completing a little board game project, these guys are ready to make the game come alive!

More shelves of board games first sale
Bookcases covered in RPGs, with rummage boxes of old rpg magazines and white dwarf underneath
#hobbystreak day 581
Progress has been slow, even when doing slapchop.
This might have something to do with the fact that my house is being converted to be a pop-up board game shop!
Still, slow progress is progress, and 3 of the lotr heroes are essentially done!
So many amazing entries this month!
Everyone should be

Most of the villains from journeys in middle earth.
#hobbystreak day 578
I have not been updating much because the heat is really making it hard to sit and paint.
Rather than continuing my gitz, I'm speed painting some Journeys in Middle Earth minis. Always nice to count minis per hour rather than hours per mini!
I think you're being unfair. He has a long-term plan to install a world-class, trans-friendly toilet.
It'll take a good 30-40 years until completion, but it'll be in all the newspapers. Most former prime ministers' obituaries are...
You painted it today! That's a win!
I'm proud of myself for finally submitting something!
