Joey sculpted some shambling horrors from green stuff and zombie parts. I think he has plans for more using different parts. Maybe Skaven? Orks?

Prime time. #Oldhammer is the best hammer.

Tonight I’ve been working on heavy bolters and gunners. #Oldhammer is the best hammer.

The 40k 2nd project continues with some solid finds.

Granted, the Orks are definitely early RT-era. But very playable in 2nd!

You’re a daisy if you do.

Which codices?

A little Saturday night Xenos Rampant for Joey and me. His mixed Xenos band vs. my imperial guard.

The search for 40k 2nd Ed materials continues. We’re still missing the Rulebook and “Black Book” army lists. The Tyranid and Imperial Guard codexes are missing as well. We’ll find them.

Happy New Year! Project for 2026: 40k 2nd Ed! I rung in the new year assembling these Genestealers I bought in ‘95 or ‘96.

With the Landsknechts done, that completes the full 61-strong Romero!

Yes! He wondered if there were stories about such foul hordes. I told him about Drachenfels!

My God. It’s full of stars.

Mom invited Tom Collins to decorate.

Joey’s 40-point Warband for Dragon Rampant, Thrakk’s Eye of Moloch. Some Orcs, Goblins, Skaven and a random assortment of Lesser and Greater Dæmons. What’s not to like?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode- no Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this one 37 times.

That’s 10 more zombies done for the horde. 54/61

Warhammer Underworlds is a really great game and we should play it more often.

Deep within the mountains of Tyrolia, an ancient, dark keep looms over a half-forgotten pass. The ruler of the keep and its village sends just enough tribute to the so-called King of Bavaria to keep his occupying troops out. It is, after all, for their own good.

Figure by Footsore Miniatures.

My son has. I’ve tinkered, but that was long ago. I’m usually able to find models that do the trick for me on MyMiniFactory, Cults3d or even Thingiverse.

Some heroes and vampires that I primed black and drybrushed a very light gray as I continue the gothic horror project. The heroes are 3d prints of STLs from Lost Heresy Miniatures. The female vampire is from GW and the male is from Footsore Miniatures.

I’ve got hordes! Just not painted. Or necessarily assembled. At least 60 or so.

The Zombies are GW plastics from the early 2000s. The necromancer is a 3D print of an STL from Vae Victis.

Otokar Knock is a foul and dreaded necromancer. His legions of undead stalk the night, searching for prey. Will our heroes survive their onslaught?

And what, exactly would a single airborne BN do in the assault, aside from provide target practice for Taiwanese ADA crews? Well, that and employment for Taiwanese undertakers?
