Sonic Spookhammer 🎃

It's been an interesting year! Bigger miniatures, army painting, putting the Quickshade Dip back into the rotation, along with lots... and *lots* of chipping and weathering on different miniatures. As ever, see to yourselves first! But anything spare helps feed this stuff! ko-fi.com/sonicsledgeh...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Did some mini painting this weekend for #HaloFastGrow

Been away playing in a Kings of War tournament with my Xirkaali, went 1/0/4, had a whale of a time like always and picked up a nice surprise! First time ever winning something like that, especially given the competition! #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Bouncing my forehead off the desk. Everything I have put my hand to so far today has gone absolutely tits-up. I'm out of carry on juice, and my keep calm biscuits are too hard to eat without it.

My milkshake: brings all the boys to the yard. The boys:

Had a lot of fun painting up this Sun Rot adventurer earlier this week.

All the new miniatures in our Heroes of the Dutch Resistance Kickstarter - look at them there. Each figure is based on a real person who risked it all to fight fascism. Please help me spread the word. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad... All hand sculpted & hand cast in pewter

Trying to follow @mengelminis.bsky.social cracking tutorial as closely as possible - would that I had his nerve and control! The Trench Crusade Prussians are absolutely grand wee miniatures, though, and a ton of fun to paint besides. #jhbackdrops

So, the immortal question... Which first, and in what damn colours?

"They went rogue-" No, they didn't. 🎶 And it did all the things we designed it to do~ 🎶

It took me years before I had a channel logo on YouTube at all, and now - many years later again - I have at last a mascot! Some say he primes by the light of the full moon, and that he drybrushes with his own tail. All we know is... he's called the Lycansubscribe. 🎨 @durendoodles.bsky.social

I like my women how I like my tea: just a wee splash of milk and a little sugar.

AHOY, YE MISERABLE DIRT-SUCKING LUBBERS! Whose life wouldn't be improved by SALT and SEA and FIXING A FUCKIN' ROOF?!

I cannot explain precisely why - and I can only hope she will forgive me - but this gives me powerful @jetblackraider.itch.io vibes. GOT ANY GRAPES?! soundcloud.com/milkinthemic...

Hobby life goal achieved! Every miniature I own. All assembled and painted. All 1036. No backlog. No more minis to paint. All done. Until I get more. Whenever that may be. #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #paintingminiatures #wargames #hobbystreak #warmongers #hobbyprogress #dragon #nerdlings

The Cat Returns. Hiroyuki Morita, 2002, Studio Ghibli.

It's gonna be a weird day on the painting table.

Confession time: I don’t actually know where we are.

Never have I needed anything less but wanted it more. www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-pr...

I was honoured to be asked by Osprey Games, in addition to the cover, to make some interior art from Oathmark Second edition by Joseph McCullough. Classic stuff for me. Here's a selection.

*emerges from sick bed* You there, boy, what day is this? Friday? Fuck. Today’s theme is…green. So let’s the green stuff. As usual i’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Thomas Horvath, from the USNC Marines box. I wasn't sure about taking a legendary hero in my #HaloFastGrow Fireteam, but having one dude in funky camo definitely stands out... and will hopefully draw an opponent's eye!

Cackling maniacally as my bodged-together plan works far better than expected.

Christopher Lloyd. 88 today! A suitably appropriate “Back to the Future” number.

Guess who couldn't sleep! Took advantage of being awake at Dumb in the morning to do a little more work here. I wish I had Tyler's smooth hand with highlights, but we're getting there! Just a little weathering, unit markings, and his base to go.
