Just finished the next set of Thousand Sons, featuring the new robots. Took me ages to finish as life has become complicated. Still love the new robots, fun to paint!

Think I didn’t need to do this but loved the idea of blue crystal heads. Shame the headdress covers them.

Thank you, the lower points are punishing for the tomb kings because of the need to have a priest and a prince but still good to play warhammer again!

We started a Warhammer old world slow grow campaign. So I finished painting some skeletons just hand weapons and some bows.
So here are my finished dudes and the starting 500pts

I finished some models! Been a manic time between fostering and working on a uni qualification but finally finished some extra GSC dudes… including some goofy looking conversions for demo charges

Birthday tomorrow, got the preview of my new tattoo, birthday present to myself. Looks good I’m ready for the chair it’s a 5 hour appointment for my left arm, covering and older tiny dragon. Bonus to you if you can work out who is on it!

Some more finished Warmachine cygnar. They have taken far longer than I normally spend on a set of models as I’ve tried NMM on this army. Also, I’ve made the base toppers.

Opinion please, working on this Warmachine model. White and blue is my army colours. Do you think the white hair works? Should I paint it red instead? By the way the blue is fluorescent

Unfortunately they tend to be over priced in points and very niche but absolutely love yours that yellow hits just right

Played the rubric phalanx last night and got a good win, perhaps too good. 2 units of infiltration rubric flamers cause my opponent so much hassle, stalled army turn one from fear of overwatch and my defilers shooting was brutal. Also, foot deamon prince was worth his weight in gold.

Would have looked awesome, I’m looking at the kill team goats to make another unit of tzanngors as a side project

Been away for a much needed holiday.

Getting ready for my first game with the new codex! So I decided to get out all my painted units to see what I’ve got. Unfortunately the twenty cultists need to join a different army but everything else is mostly done.

4) only when I tracked down the serial numbers etc from my Apple account. Finally they told me to call the police to get a crime ref number! (On what? it’s my only phone!) completely pointless. So I got to spend another day going back to the store to sort out this S**tfest.

3) they didn’t look my old handset and black list it when I was in the shop, they said to phone the customer service line!!! And then when I finally got through to the help team they said they couldn’t block the old phone as they didn’t have it on their system

2) Oh and EE can eat *h*t too. Their customer service is a joke! Got new phone. From them doubling my monthly payment. They give me a sim but don’t register it so I got no signal. When I got in contact with them they kept trying to send info to my phone via SMS!

To the *ucking *anker who stole my phone I wish on you the most virulent strain of nurgle’s rot that papa nurgle can bestow! The most irritating thing is it’s still showing in my find iPhone. I hope that Dunstable doesn’t have sufficient medical resources to cure a warp pathogen.

Played my second game of Warmachine MK4, my legion of Everblight into Cygnar. Was losing on number of models left but killed the enemy caster with a cheeky assassination. Good fun!

Finished up a batch of hybrid metamorphs. With 2 extra characters. A relatively quick job as I wanted them to match my main army.

Camo Specs – A guide to regimental paint schemes

There are no wrong answers in battletech. But for inspiration I use camospecs.com it’s a BT painting guide.

It’s based on the DCMS sword of light regiments but the extra green area is my addition, to show they are the 8th sword of light. The 8th sword of light is known as the jade dragon.

Played 40K tonight against world eaters. My Genestealers romped home winning 103-63.

Main reasons was the secondary mission and locking the WE in Genestealer jail turn 1 claiming many objectives. Fun game!

OG space hulk minis…. I miss them, probably look like space gnomes against the new ones. Brilliant work especially on the weird plastic that repels paint. Although at the time spraying under coat was unheard of in my area
