Extra support weapons for my 2nd edition Legion of the Damned army. All with a penchant for burning or vaporising whatever they're pointed at. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

Good morning from 28th July 1982 when the Evening News reports that the city is suffering from an outbreak of "British Disease." Dr John Raven from the Scottish Council for Research in Education was reportedly "horrified to discover [the] epidemic" of public apathy was "so widespread". 🇬🇧😷🦠

Today's Legion of the Damned minis. This is the Heavy Weapons squad from 2nd edition. Nice and chunky, the heavy bolter especially looks like a handful. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

More Legion of the Damned, Terminators this time. Although the unit in White Dwarf #224 doesn't contain any, I had some 2nd edition ones spare and decided that they would be a useful addition to the army. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

Whenever I see the word 'JETS', I always expect to see an equivalent thing saying 'SHARKS', and, to be honest, that would really change the whole vibe of this hot tub experience.

Moving right along. A 2nd-edition Dreadnought for the Legion of the Damned💀 A big stompy robot covered in flames. What could be more Warhammer than that? #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

The wife booked a lightshow walk in the woods for this evening's entertainment. I'm currently watching the rain bounce off the road outside and praying that it gets cancelled.

Next up for my Legion of the Damned (2nd Edition) project is Sergeant Centurius. A big fan of Shakespeare, he often quotes from Hamlet before a battle, "Alas, poor Yorick..." 💀 #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

That’s my work surface clear for the first time in what seems like months. It’s actually quite relaxing just looking at it. * I still have stuff I’m working on, obviously, it’s just not a big jumbled clutter. #Nerdlings

Been putting together a Legion of the Damned force ahead of the new Kill Team box. I took inspiration from the 2nd edition force in White Dwarf #224. Here is the bike squadron. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

I love the fact that someone at GW looked at dwarves, a race traditionally known for mining & living underground generally, and said "Why don't we give them wee helicopters"? #Nerdlings

The Rocket Man at Lambhill Stables in the north of Glasgow. It was creates from scrap metal by Steve Keniry and Billy Lafferty. It's made from 7 gas bottles, 6 beer barrels, 1 compressor tank and several kilos of stainless and mila steel. #glasgow #lambhillstables #sculpture #streetart #publicart

The completed 2019 Noise Marine, painted almost entirely with Tone Pro paints from the store sample box. #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #NoiseMarine

I use a water distiller to filter the IPA I use to clean my resin prints. This means that I get to re-use a significant portion of the IPA & it has more than paid for itself over the years. I think I may have gone too long between uses as the cake on the right is what it filtered out 😬 #Nerdlings
