New update from #paintRack out now. By popular demand you can send a paint to a set directly from the paint view now - no more going back to hunt for it again from the sets view!

Love doing flags for 6mm miniatures - a little bit of pva, paint and patience. For the Franco-Prussian (German) War project. Soon done with this.

More #WarhammerQuest1995 models finished with these two classics from the Lair of the Orc Lord expansion.

This is Gubbinz the goblin jester and his pet squig hound, Growler, both ready to cause mayhem to the adventurers!

- gonna get gratuitous meanwhile with the use of #StarWarsDay and #Maythe4th and just stick in a quickie of one of the *other* Empire-flavoured scenes I scraped together - I'll get 'round to the build-process of this one too eventually, but; also here, some resin scenic-bits from @fenrisgames.com:

Don't make me use the Sit-Down gun. Did you know Crooked Dice miniatures do official Danger-5 miniatures? Shut your mouth Claire! Well, they do. Now go kill Hitler.

Decided I don’t want to go through the trouble of oil washing the new squats. Going with the old reliable acrylic washes instead. They’ll look a little different to the old batch. #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings
