WW Special: Tyranids v Astra Militarum/Orks
This is a twofer based on a trip a few friends and I took to Warhammer World in Nottingham, during which we got a pair of games in. We also met minor Warhammer celebrity Nick Bayton, who was just o…

New battle report: Tyranids vs Thousand Sons: victorypointless.com/2026/07/25/t...
Between takes on set Peter Cushing painted wargaming figures. He'd invite female costars to join him if they were new, looked lonely or being perved on by others on set. "Scream Queen" Ingrid Pitt proudly showed me the little figures they painted together once. Kept them all her life #nerdlings

Some test models for a Genestealer Cults scheme, intended to mesh with my existing Tyranid scheme. I'm considering going for more of a blue-green denim effect on their trousers. You know, make their jeans tealer. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

First game of 11th – Tyranids vs Imperial Knights
Big Robots! Big Kaiju! Smash! This was the thought process that lead to this game. Probably this is not the ideal way to learn a new edition, but I’ve been wanting to do a m…

I see off 40k 10th edition by looking back over the 55 games of it I played and Having Some Opinions about them: victorypointless.com/2026/06/19/a... #warhammercommunity #40k #new40k
A farewell to 40k 10th edition through the medium of statistical analysis
The 11th edition of Warhammer 40,000 is basically here now and I’m unlikely to fit in any more games of 10th, so this seemed like a good time to look back over all the games I’ve played…

Death Company marines. Just painting assault intercessors black seemed dull to me, so I added chains and Stormcast helms for added 'Man in the Iron Mask' vibes. #nerdlings #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #bloodangels
First they out his name and now his location...?
I realised that I forgot to post the full squad of these guys when they were done. Here they are! #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #bloodangels
Victory Pointless@victorypointless.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis marine is now done! He isn't going to win Golden Demon, but personally I'm happy with how he looks given the relatively small amount of time invested. I can easily bash out a squad to this standard in 2-3 evenings and not get bored doing it. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

I've been asked how I paint my blood angels and so I thought I'd do a step-by-step guide (partly for my own benefit, so I can remember how to do it when I come back to this army in future). Here's some examples of where we're heading. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

"...so I played the game with my wife, Milla Jovovich. From doing that I clearly understood that the most important part of the experience that I had to bring to the screen was my wife, Milla Jovovich."
Good news for Death Guard players who really want to commit to the bit.

The new thallax with a few of my other admech "heavy infantry"-types, the skitarii praetorians and a UR-025 Quite often I make things that don't fit neatly into official army units, but my admech is primarily just a collection of mechanical minis I like
Finally, some decent Sanguinary Guard models...
I've seen a few people posting skeletons today and I'm not sure if there's a reason behind it or if it's pure coincidence, but I'm going to leap wildly onto this bandwagon that may or may not exist. #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity
Hobby experiment: Using tape, thinner masking tape and yellow spray paint to make small-scale hazard stripes. Results: Meh. It sort-of works, but I'm not sure it's that much quicker, easier or better looking than just freehanding it. #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer #minipainting #warhammercommunity
I haven't really kept track, but I think my models-painted tally for 2025 goes something like this: Orks: 144 Tyranids: 26 Necrons: 33 Blood Angels: 23 AdMech: 2 Terrain: 22 Misc: 2 Total: 252 (ish) #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer
WIP: Experimenting with a new way of doing power swords.
I've been painting some ooky spooky vampire space marines. Because I'm an old man who hates change I have de-primarisified them as much as reasonably possible. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #bloodangels #givememk7helmetsorgivemedeath
GW consistently refused to give us Warhammer Armies: Fishmen, so I was forced to make my own!
Painted the new Geomancer. GW seem to have forgotten about giving them 40k rules (why do you hate Necron Kill Teams, GW?), so I guess they're a spare Technomancer for now. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings
