Glumfry knows about happiness. The frogs seem happy, some of the time anyway. But Glumfry has never felt happiness. And maybe never will. #MiniPainting #Nerdlings

A rather splendidly violent #BloodBowl referee from @heresyminiatures.com I like painting stripes, right up until I have to paint stripes. The ones on his front look great, on the back they're a bit wobbly. Oh and the victim here is a classic Reikland Reaver, 2nd edition style. #MiniPainting

Today we have the Alicante World Cup Sports Moo. As I couldn't attend this was donated by a mate and was fun to paint. I'm still not happy with the yellow but I'll apparently keep choosing to paint it. #BloodBowl #MiniPainting #Nerdlings

I'm very pleased with how he turned out, it's the first time I've painted with composition in mind and I hope you'll agree it works to draw attention to the big mouth in his gut.

I had nightmares about the terrifying Myrka from #DoctorWho The fact that it was clearly a pantomime horse covered in seaweed and green paint did not lessen the effect.

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

Waiting for the Dekemistration?

We now have Keminaissance, Keminisation and – from the woman herself – Kemistry. The Tory party is increasingly a vehicle for Kemi puns, only some of which even work.

That’s Morg N’ Thorg done… hope I have an opportunity to field him alongside my halflings in this season of the local #BloodBowl League in Odense. #PaintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

Back in 2011, I drew a Squig team for Garion’s ‘Secret League’ on Fumbbl, so it’s nice to see them become an official part of modern Blood Bowlafter all this time. They look a fun team to play and it was certainly a lot of fun to draw them again. It brought back memories of the Stunty Leeg!

Yesterday me and my daughter tried out the new tone pro paints from #Warhammer. I have thoughts. Overall, they're very good. Coverage is great, and the white drybrushes nicely. The longer working time also helps with wet blending and the red is *very* red.

They didn't thin nicely and I think glazing with them will be a nuisance. The glaze medium coming in a pot rather than a dropper is also a pain. I got paint in the medium immediately. However, this might just be learning curve. They are overall, very good, and worth your attention if you paint.

Tickets for next year's #BloodBowl world cup in the bag, playing as part of Team Mayhem, although maybe as the Birmingham team we should have gone for Team Bostin'? Flights and accommodation booked. Now I just have the stress of choosing a team...

There definitely things that I've left off this list that should maybe be on there and it's not in any sort of order but here you are.

To be fair most of these represent the series as a whole
