Here's a few pic's of some 'rescued' space marine scout models that I picked up fairly cheaply at a local(ish) wargames event last month. I talk about them in a bit more detail over on the blog if that's of interest: www.crookedstaff.co.uk/2026/09/warb... #40k #warhammer #miniaturepainting

For anyone interested, here's a round-up of my hobby projects from this month (and the progress I'm making on the next video/pdf): www.patreon.com/csp_kris/pos... (note that I'm posting these over on patreon - but they're public articles - so you don't need to join/sign-up to read them ;) )

I've been posting a few articles about solo gaming over on the blog recently - culminating in an actual battle report... which you can find here: www.crookedstaff.co.uk/2026/08/warg... #sologaming #onepagerules

One of the pic's from tonight's solo mission. (I should have a batrep over on the blog with more photos in a day or two - fingers crossed)

Here's the full video tutorial: youtu.be/LDQwB6K595A #40k #necromunda #killteam #stargrave #starfinder #fiveparsecsfromhome #onepagerules

All of the mini's I've splashed some paint on this week (one per evening Mon-Thu, two on Friday night, and finished the bases today): All things considered, I'm quite happy with the results :)

Here's this month's catch-up post featuring most of my hobby projects in July (note that you don't need a patreon account to view it): www.patreon.com/csp_kris/pos...

Monthly Round-up (July 2026) | Kristian Richards

OK then… that’s another month that seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye – and as I settle down to write this, I’m wondering if I act

patreon.com

I have a new terrain video out!!! youtu.be/LDQwB6K595A #40k #armageddon #5parsecs #starfinder #stargrave ...and so on :)

More progress on my hive city walls :) #terrain #40k #necromunda #armageddon #starfinder #starwars ...etc. ;)

Got a bit more work done on my hive city backdrop :) #40k #necromunda #terrain

As I mentioned the other day, I'm changing my old e-mail newsletter into (free) monthly catch-up articles over on Patreon (for those interested in such things). As such, here's my hobby round-up for June: www.patreon.com/csp_kris/pos...

Saying goodbye to (and moving on from) substack: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Finally getting around to painting these guys (which have been sitting in a box for years). The orks themselves are from an old #40k starter set... so with #warhammer returning to #armageddon in the new edition, I thought it was about time I made a start on 'em :) (still got more to do though)

Here's a quick look at another sci-fi project I've been playing around with (i.e. cargo containers) Pictured on the left is the initial prototype (which I'll usually make just to be sure that all the shapes fit together right), and next to it is the finished piece. #scifigaming #40k #starwars etc.

It's a pretty short (and rather simple) video tutorial this month... but an effective one I think :) youtu.be/gzmJGGDyr2c

Just a short newsletter this month: open.substack.com/pub/crookeds...

Another new (quick & easy) terrain video: youtu.be/yUb1sFqoBcs #scifi #starwars #warhammer #40k #starfinder #stargrave #opr ...and so on :)

A quick update (and mock-up) of how some new textures will work. (this will work alongside my other sci-fi terrain: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... ). #40k #necromunda #spacehulk #starfinder #stargrave #starwars #5parsecsfromhome

I finally managed to carve out some hobby time today, and got to test out an idea for a sliding cargo bay door (i.e. imagine this surrounded by other floor tiles): #warhammer #40k #necromunda #killteam #stargrave #starwars #starfinder #scifiterrain www.youtube.com/c/CrookedSta...

Time for another terrain project: youtu.be/2GwEOGTh2Lw #warhammer #40k #stargrave #starwars #starfinder #aliensrpg #traveller #fiveparsecsfromhome

Quickly painted my first ever #necron models tonight (just five colors and a @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social wash over the top). And for a super quick paint job, I kinda like how they're turning out (though I might tidy up a few areas tomorrow, and then do the bases). #40k #miniaturepainting

Got some quick paint jobs done this weekend (more chaos cultists) The two special weapon guys on the left are the new 'damned' models from Wargames Atlantic, and the rest are old GW mini's. And I think they mix together quite well :) Next job… finish their bases :) #40k #chaos #minipainting

I'm working on my next project(s) in fits & starts at the moment… which means that it's kinda difficult to set time aside for the making of the actual video tutorial(s). That being said, I have got some quick & easy barricades done - which have turned out pretty nice I think :) #40k #ttrpg #28mm

Another simple terrain idea in the works... #warhammer #40k #ttrpg #stargrave #starfinder #starwars

Taking a break to build some junk piles :) #ttrpg #warhammer #40k #necromunda #stargrave #starwars #aliens ...and so on.

Time for another monthly hobby round-up in the latest newsletter: crookedstaff.substack.com/p/crooked-st... #ttrpg #40k #sologaming #papercraft #minipainting #youtube

Another WIP image - this time for tunnel-like pieces to connect buildings together (like, if you want to make an enclosed compound). They can also make little porch-like entrances too (like you can see in the picture). These will be appearing on the channel soon :) www.youtube.com/c/CrookedSta...
