Brother-Sergeant José ready to defend Rynn’s World. Super happy with him, easily the best Space Marine I’ve ever painted. He definitely needs some friends… #Nerdlings #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity

Bear has been built, based, and had their gaps filled as best I can. I’m sure paint will cover it. Still lots of subassemblies for painting (including Boris’s hat).

Messing around list building, and noticed the new chaos book added a daemon-blooded steed. Which buffs a horse, enough to maybe work as a bear. So i finally have a way to use the bear. He also just about fits on the new size cavalry base.

Working on the new captain for my renegade crowns. He’s clearly a more upperclass sort of Kislevite, having adopted lots of Empire trappings. Maybe his parents sent to school in Altdorf? #Nerdlings

Booked to do more Old World Battlemarch in Nov/Dec, and I was thinking of taking some dwarfs. But that’s boring, so I picked up these to try and make my Kislev (Ren-Crowns) function better. A captain with repeater handgun, and a wizard on foot so I can hopefully do a lot more ranged damage.

The rhino is done, other than a final varnish. I chickened out on the freehand, and just used a transfer for the top hatch. I might be a coward, but I’m a happy one. #Nerdlings

Roughing up a vehicle is always super fun. Mostly just highlights and a few more transfers to go. Except for the top doors, which I’m still running scared of doing a freehand scorpion on. #Nerdlings

‘By the will of the Emperor, we can finally use the relics of our firstborn brothers. Squad mount up!’ ‘Err…’ ‘What is it now Brother Bob?’ ‘Brother-Sergeant sir, you sure we can all fit in there?’ ‘If the Codex says 12 of use can fit, we can damn well fit. Questioning the Codex is heresy!!!’

Done with all of the halberds, I am finishing this squad before the end of the month or I will die trying. #warhammer #greyknights

Taken most of the day, but I’ve got my notes ready for the next The One Ring rpg adventure I’m running. Also sorted out most of the antagonists. Just need to paint ‘Gandalf’.

Man this old Haldir is a fantastic sculpt. First mini cleaned up for next years Middle-Earth army. Assuming the made to order stuff arrives in a timely manner. I’ve never do an elf army. #Nerdlings

Question for all the hobby people. I want a rhino for my Red Scorpions, and it’ll be cool to have a big scorpion symbol on the top hatches. So any ideas/advice on how to make a stencil to help me spray/sponge it on? Particularly a good material to use. #Nerdlings

Spend the day playing Rimworld for the first time in ages. My little sheep and donkey farm was going really well, until someone got kidnapped, and some else got mauled to death by a Rottweiler with a broken heart.

The cart is now attached to the horse. I’ve tried to copy the harness on the MTO carts GW had up a few weeks ago. Don’t think I can remove the cart now, so painting it’s going to be awkward. Making legs for the driver has gone less well… I ain’t showing pictures of that… #Nerdlings

Done some putty work on the BSB. I’ve never been great at sculpting with any putty, but I think this should past for fur once he’s painted. And now he’s WYSIWYG. #Nerdlings

Made progress on various things today, including cutting off the wolf head from the Ulric priest. Took bloody ages, but he’s now in a place where I can attempt to sculpt some fur round the back.

Coffee stirrers, superglue and a dream of a baggage cart. That A at GCSE D&T finally coming in handy. Still got to work out how to actually attach the horse and wheels. The paper is a start on a bear rug. #Nerdlings.

I've covered my first lot of bills for this month, but I somehow need to raise about £1000 in the next two weeks for the next lot, and that's not including food/fuel 🫤 Got a bit of day rate building work but I'll still be well short, so look out for a sales thread soon once I've sorted stuff out
