Just here to chill, and share some wargaming, and the occasional cat pic. Sometimes both.

A goblin is running through a vineyard, evading some guards, while carrying his loot, a large plate with a turkey. One of the guards has discovered him, and points out his location.

"Suspect was last seen roaming this vineyard. The city watch of #TraitorsToll is on it."

AKA not me showing off some new terrain I've built.

Painting minis to have them collect dust on the shelf is a valid part of this hobby. Just saying. That said, it's an incredible mini!

A customized version of Games Workshopโ€™s miniature of Lord Marshal Dreir for the game Warhammer 40k, with the intention to use it as Lord Solar Leontus. The main changes are: The Krieg Mount is prancing, โ€œDreirโ€ is holding a sword instead of the usual sabre, and he is looking to his right .

I found a Krieg army box and couldn't resist picking it up. The downside: I have a 2nd Dreir mini now.

Soโ€ฆ why not go crazy and turn him into a Lord Solar proxy? Still a WIP, but I like how he's looking so far.

Oh wow. I got back into mini-painting just a few weeks before my country's first lockdown was declared. Lucky me, I guess.

Ha, ain't that the truth (my journey into Bolt Action started with a free sprue).

Thank you!

A strip of 20 marching miniatures from Warlord Games for their 15mm scale game "Black Powder Epic Battles - Revolution!" These are painted as British infantry, and thus are wearing red coats, white waistbands and white breeches, as well as black tricorns and black boots. Each of them carries a flintlock rifle with a bayonet.

The freebie sprue in WI452 inspired me to try painting 15mm miniatures for a change. Here are my first 20 Redcoats, eager to suppress the American Revolution.

It was fun. But one confession before I go back to my main projects: The sprue actually was a blue one. ๐Ÿ‘€

Ten miniatures to be used as city watch in the game "Guards of Traitor's Toll". They are carrying a variety of melee and ranged weapons. Their tunics and gambesons are in blue and white colors, and some have silver colored plate armor and helmets. They are standing on cobblestone bases with blue and white rims.

I know the camera is ever so unforgiving, but I think I consider these #TraitorsToll guards done and ready for battle.

Maybe I'll add some subtle weathering. Not too much though. It's a fantasy setting, theyโ€™re allowed to look pristine lol.

Happy #Caturday! For the past few days my male cat has been the one to keep me company while I worked on my minis. Apparently my cats are taking turns with inhabiting this box near the "hobby desk". I'd love to understand how this agreement is made.

8 hours' worth of hobby time later, and every Krieger now has decals applied to the shoulder pauldrons.

No more shenanigans with the transfer sheets for the next few days!

Years ago I missed out on the Indomitus box (probably to my wallet's relief). Today, Iโ€™m happy that I managed to get a copy of the Dawn of War Onslaught game.

Thank you! Yeah, with the search terms I used to find reference pics I mostly saw rifles with woodland colors. So I just switched those out in favor of blue and grey.

A Games Workshop Death Korps of Krieg miniature, with a blue coat and yellow brown pants, equipped with a Long-Las sniper rifle with camouflage stripes in various shades of blue and grey. The right pauldron identifies this Krieger as part of the regiment 212.

Here's the first official guardsman of my 212th Death Korps Infantry Regiment.

A testing mini for the decals. The custom regiment number is a bit of an extra hassle, ngl. Worth it though.

Me and my English skills. 212th of course. LMAO.

I guess I was too excited over having to replace just one digit in the regiment number.

A WIP photo of the infantry part of my 1000 point Death Korps of Krieg army, 58 miniatures in total. Pictured are a command squad, two infantry squads with 20 Kriegers each, crews for heavy weapons and artillery, as well as a few extras minis from a second command squad box.

Progress for my DKOK: Washes are applied, bases textured. Next up, my least favorite part: Decals.

Me & my wish for a custom regiment. The 212nd iykyk. Just replace one digit of the 262nd decal. Easy, right?
