This weekend I attended my first #Dogma48 weekender. Bit off more than I could chew for 48 hours, and wouldn't say it's close to finished so technically I failed, but I started with a primed model and happy to get the ambiance and two characters finished. Happy with what I achieved in the time.
Just booked a ticket for #SPRU in September up in Nottingham. Looks fun, and dovetailed beautifully into my weekend plans. Hopefully see a few of you there. sprucon.com

Chaos Lord on Demonic Steed. Another addition to the slow-grow army. At this rate, it'll be ready to play in 2136. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #TheOldWorld
The Odyssey is very, very good. Thanks for reading my film review.
If I never have to experience an extended half-time show at a World Cup Final again, I'd be a happy person.
Watched the England vs Argentina game last night with my son. When Argentina's second goal went in, they cut to the crowd looking mournful and my son said "that old lady looks sad" ... ... it was Mick Jagger, and yet he wasn't wrong.
I notice recently resigned politicians standing for byelections are doing a lot of talking, and not a lot of actual good for their constituency. I propose a little less conversation, and a little more Clacton.
Gerda von Evilstein. Latest addition to my slow grow Warriors of Chaos army. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #TheOldWorld
Never see Count Binface and Angine De Poitrine in the same place, do you.
Gary. New gnome addition to the garden. £2 from Poundland, bit of spraying, bit of painting and he's ensconced in the garden to keep our other gnomes, Barry & Larry, company.
Ork Battlewagon. This was a quick, fun project for an afternoon and I'm sorry if your retinas suffer from the colour scheme. 3D print courtesy of the wonderful @doctorspork.bsky.social #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Orks
WIP shot of my beautiful nob ... an Ork Nob, obviously. Weather has meant I've been doing Not Painting Things, but finally back to the desk and making progress. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Armageddon #Orks
Things you don't expect at plasma donation. The gift of a Metallica endorsed t-shirt celebrating donors. If you donate blood and haven't done recently, you have until 3rd July to get in on that.
First game of 40k 11th edition this evening. Not bad. Faster to play, even if we skipped a few rules on the way. Rule access is still a friction point. Had to pull in my old Space Wolves as a proxy for the unbuilt new ones, and my Orks need more work, but it was just nice to get time on the table.
Good morning, you beauts. I hope you're all got your windows open, curtains closed and good air circulation round your wobbly bits. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvu2...

My Armageddon box finally arrived after several days of postal delays. A small thing that's struck me is how well thought out the models are. Recessed glue joints, mould lines concealed like a champ. I think calling the build a joy would be a stretch, but it hasn't been a pain point. Very welcome.
Warhound. My entry to the for #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth June challenge, painting in the style of John Blanche. #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #AdeptusTitanicus #Epic #JohnBlanche
Came across the demo of this on Steam yesterday. Five hours in and can't get past day 11, but having a whale of a time trying. Sci-fi resource building tower defense with a gorgeous art style? Yes please. store.steampowered.com/app/4809240/...

Commissar, Epic scale. It's always difficult to know how best to present these models, as it's easy to overlook how small they are, so here's a picture of him being intimidated by a Space Marine's kneecap for scale. #Nerdlings #PaintingWarhammer #AdeptusTitanicus #Epic
Orc. Great sculpt from Ouroboros Miniatures (www.ouroborosminiatures.com) that I've been itching to paint for a while, and glad I could do it as a gift for my wonderful friend @jetsetilly.bsky.social. #Nerdlings
Reading Rogue Trader this week. When people tell you that Warhammer is a very serious game, I shall point you to ... Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau.
Japanese Battle Frame Infantry Officers. Lovely models from @warlordgames.com. It was really the handsome front lad I wanted to paint, the others were a bonus. I put them on a dungeon tile from @fenrisgames.com to make it look like a coastal scene. #Nerdlings #WarlordGames
Thoughts and prayers to the talented developers who ran out of their monthly allocation of tokens on Copilot yesterday and accidentally DDoS'ed Claude today. Here's to tomorrow's outages.
Genestealer Magus with Las Pistol. Finished up for the Olden Demon challenge. One of those models I've wanted to paint for a long time, and this was just the catalyst to see it finished. #Nerdlings #PaintingWarhammer #Oldhammer #Genestealer #WarhammerCommunity
Well, that's my transport and display trays magnetised and based today. Perfect weather for PVA and ballast fixer to dry outdoors, rather than stinking up the house. All hail the marvellous @warbases.bsky.social for sorting that out, despite undoubtedly flat out prepping for #UKGE this week.
I haven't noticed anyone else in the UK posting about how warm it is this week.
Started work on this beaut of a Genestealer Magus. Think I'll try and actually see how well I can paint it ... or at least that can be the plan right now, then I'll wuss out later in the week and call it done after three more hours instead of really pushing myself.
