#Pinktober Throwback!

The Great Pink Squig and the Pale Rider! (Made from Mozrog Skragbad)

This was painted up back in 2023 for our Pinktober Charity Fundraiser and was a blast to work on!

Here’s some pictures of the #Pinktober mini that started it all: Magnus the Pink!
Who helped us raise over £600 for @cancerresearchuk.org back in 2022 and was so much fun to paint up! He sits on my desk as a reminder of the positives this community can do 💕

Feel free to interpret the Pinktober Theme however you like: This could be bright, pale, a light source, glitter etc… whatever it is just get some pink on it in a major way.

Good luck to you all! 🎀

The next Jar Jar Creation: The Jalrog!

#warhammerxstarwars #JarJarCreations #WarhammerCommunity

These are very much initial impressions and I feel the cons are most likely me getting used to the markers and user error. I’ll be using these for a week or too and will give a more detailed review then.

Let me know if you’d like me to test/try anything and I’ll try to add it to my review.

4/4

🛑Cons:
1) Too much paint went into the brush on the first ‘button depress’ on each playmaker causing it to leak/drip
2) Brush is thick around the base, which makes it difficult for harder to reach areas such as the Aquila behind the bolster on this marine, without getting paint on other parts

3/4

✅ Pros:
1) Great coverage
2) Fantastic paint consistency
3) A real time saver to just pick up and use
4) Solid point on the brush & comfortable to hold
5) Perfect for quick base coats and metallics

2/4

On yesterdays stream we tested out the new Playmarkers from AK Interactive.

It’s a little early for a full review but wanted to put together some of my first impressions review

Do you struggle to stay focused while tidying your hobby space?

Join us live on Twitch next weekend for a body doubling session!
It’s a simple technique where we work alongside each other to stay motivated and on task—great for neurodivergent brains and anyone needing a little boost!

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case?

Jakhal Dishonoured Warrior.

First time using some Jewellery chains on a mini. These are a 3.2mm chain from the local haberdashery. I was worried they were too big but really happy with the result for our latest chaos x Tau kitbash!

Plenty more of these to come!

#warhammercommunity #KhorneTau

Something a little different on the workbench the last few days… chaos tau anyone?

A bingo card with 25 squares containing various hobby challenges. A large format is available as a pdf in our discord server (link in bio)

We did a thing!

This year we made a bingo card for 2025. The aim was to help people use up their backlog and existing hobby bits from around the house, as well as learn new skills and techniques.
Feel free to use to it if you like and if you do, share your progress with #HTHBingo25

Christmas morning vs Christmas afternoon as portrayed by our Cat: Milkshake ❤️💜

I’m very late to the party but having just sat down for the evening I’ve just seen the Christmas Day Reveal and DAMN! This is stunning!!

A few shots of Urdnot Wrex finished off on today’s stream.

Loved the Scarab Red metallic from #twothincoatspaints for his armour. Super smooth and easy to use.

Absolutely love these minis from the Mass Effect Board Game! I hope @modiphius.bsky.social make more in future expansions 🤞🏼
