Bolanferth

A celestial wizard from the Talisman boxed game, I found the game in a shop in Norwich in the 90s some time. Recently tidied up with better paints and brushes Not sure the cosmic galaxy effect on the ball works!.

WIP Ahoy! Two trolls! One old metal river troll, and the always-WIP mollog conversion I can't quite finish....

With several parts of clanrat bodies leftover after assembling the gnawfeast spearhead, we decided to build a master moulder kitbash. He has four arms, a 'things catcher' and whip taken from the ork runtherd mini, and a little greenstuff beard because why not?

Ogor Warhulk conversion now 30% less goofy. Some work on the face (yellow glaze for forehead, pink for cheeks, blue for chin!) and making the masking tape straps look leathery, adding some poundshop gems as metal studs... I don't hate it! I've painted and weathered the Fusil major's tower too

I found this talisman grey wizard in the attic. I painted him years ago, the first miniature I really took my time layering, adding lighter tones. Painting slowly. Not too special now, but I was proud of him then and enjoy him now. I still forget to enjoy the process, paint slowly. A reminder.

Which Fusil Major is best? Two old Empire kitbashes freshened up for a potential CoS spearhead, which would look best sitting on an Ogre?

Next the Fusil Major - I had an old Empire Engineer kitbash I thought would work (pickelhaube, beard, pointing) but I can't find him in my boxes. So instead there's this kitbashed fella with a gun made from odds and sods. I like him. Might greenstuff some epaulettes for extra Major points.

The saga continues To have a break from bungling the Ogor warhulk, I decided to plough on with the Fusil major's crows nest. It's pretty messy, not too different from the Gnoblar lookout post it's based on, but I think it could work!

Attempted Ogor Warhulk with Fusil Major *conversion* continues...

I like new the models, but I also really like my models and I don't see a problem with that, these boys have come out of the attic and are being smartened up for battle

My latest goofy conversion idea is an Ogor Warhulk using this Minotaur body and Ogre head, a sprue frame / scaffold and gnoblar lookout banner bits for the tower, then an old kitbashed Empire engineer with long rifle as the Fusil Major. Then I can have a CoS spearhead made from old Empire minis.

A find from the attic, I got this as a freebie with an ebay lot years ago. Didn't think I'd have a son who collected skaven one day! I tidied it up a bit, just adding matching coats of paint to liven up the colours. It's not part of the current army list, but could proxy as a warp grinder maybe

I dug out this slightly rough stormcast wizard from a box of minis I put away last year. He came free with a magazine! I removed his big metal hood and part of the staff (encasing the comet symbol) and moved his arm into what I felt was a more dramatic pose. Still looks like a vegas conjuror though.

A skaven clawlord on gnawbeast my son and I painted together. We are considering a red wash for the silver armour...

I found an old Talisman skaven figure (from a box I had 30 years ago) while looking for some bits (an Ironblaster I bought about 15 years ago) to help my finish my Ogor spearhead. I have tidied him up a bit Simpler times! My son is working on his skaven spearhead, but I don't think this guy fits

Wood Elf shadowdancer, original conversion by @exprofundis.bsky.social

Those hachette magazine issue 1s are too good to pass up, the Mortal Realms one and now Spearhead. He looks like a Steve to me. Not sure what to do with the Lord Veritant, it's a bit po-faced the stormcast stuff. I painted a stormcast wizard a 2 years ago and it just looked like a vegas conjuror.

Skyre Vizzik Skour, kitbash mostly using random 40k bits. #skaven #vizzikskour #ageofsigmar #aos #40k #adeptusmechanicus #admec

Peak Warhammer aesthetic

Day 3 of Zodgrod, I never finish projects so this is a big blip. In some ways he'll never be done, because of neuroses, but here he is anyway, kind of done! First homemade banner, using the natural scruffiness of Orks as cover for inexperience and haste!

A WIP paint job of my Zodgrod conversion, following the paint scheme of old (white fur on the boots, blue hair squigs, red weapons, yellow pauldrons). The back banner will take longer...

Zodgrod Wortsnagga! ... Has a lovely old metal model and a less lovely new plastic one I had a runtherd I couldn't warm to next to the jolly Gretchin he herds So I've given him a hair squig beard & quiff (does the eyepatch band make him look like McEnroe?) & an arm with a pistol Banner to follow!

The Gobbapalooza is all finished; ready to get up to all kinds of mischief and mushroom-addled shenanigans! Now to decide what lands on the painting desk next... 👀 #AgeofSigmar #GloomspiteGitz #Warhammer #Painting #Hobbying

I don't collect Skaven and never got the appeal until recently, but seeing this guy from the skaventide set on eBay for less than a tenner seemed too good to pass up. A delightful a dramatic figure, reminding me of the Rats of Nimh and Redwall and all that good childhood stuff.

As a break from spending months failing to finish my troll / ogor / ork conversions, I bought a handsome metal dwarf from the Dragon Painter in Abergavenny market and had a nice time slapping speedpaint on him. The basing is tea and dill. I am ignoring the mold line on the crossbow for now.

Compared with my Mollog conversion I'm much happier with Trugg (also too long in the green stuff stage). I was dubious, and then a couple of drybrushes later I think he's promising. Still v WIP too, planning some foliage on the body in keeping w the fluff (and to hide my mistakes!)

I don't hate how this WIP paint job of my Mollog conversion is going, but there's a long way to go. The upper body's too shiny (didn't shake my Xpress paints enough!) highlights are sloppy, lots of details to touch up and a base to finish! But I spent too long on the greenstuff stage to stop now

Spellweaver on Unicorn for my Wood El army 🧚 🦄 💀 This model has been in the works for ages now and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The base sculpt is amazing and paints up so easily. It’s also pretty huge, which is awesome.

I think the problem with the Naked Gun remake is Liam Neeson keeps pulling faces in the trailer, mainly angry ones. Leslie Nielsen, at least in my memory of the films and series Police Squad, looked gloriously unshaken regardless of what was happening, which made everything funnier.

The COURT OF AZATHOTH, tabletop minis version.

At a glacial pace my Mollog the Mighty conversion (into a full sized Dankhold) is approaching completion. It's been fun learning to follow the shapes of muscles with putty, lengthening bits, fattening bits, starting to prime out of boredom then wising up... Mollog the Malicious will be ready soon.

Age of Sigmar Aelves

I really want to get a decent amount of these ogors painted to a basic standard. Instead I have spent AGES tonight shaving plastic so I can squash Ork heads into Ogor helmets.

Three cheeky young (irongut themed) gnoblar scamps I painted recently. The bases are cut from milk carton lids as I didn't have any 20mm rounds.

I couldn't call it progress, but I spent some time looking at this WIP conversion, wondering how exactly to add texture to his trollish skin, lumps and bumps... maybe some static grass, twigs, stones, human hair, the contents of my vacuum cleaner...

Saw a skull today, appropriately, strolling through a field. Nos galan gaeaf hapus bawb!

To open, a conversion of the handsome Slugdrool, with a Reaper Bones werewolf hand. He's not quite finished. Maybe he never will be. I can see myself in old age trying to highlight his earrings, sighing disappointedly.
