As an aging male, I have to ask... is it safe to put hair removal cream on your ears?
Happy Pride in London Day! My work's group are far back in the parade this year, I estimate that we will cross the start line around 16:10. Whether you are in the parade or spectating, remember to stay hydrated, stay safe, and always have your exit route planned! Stay proud! #PrideInLondon
So, I’m going to be auctioning the We Are Legion Diorama (below) with all money (rounded up to the nearest £50/100) going to The Alzheimer’s Society. Auction will be going up on Saturday and run for a week - will post the link when it’s up. It’d be great if you could all bid and spread the word!
To celebrate the 3rd anniversary of WarGaymers I went to Warhammer World along with co-founder Chris for our annual game. As is now the tradition, I decided to surprise him with a new army! Didn't finish, but proud of what I achieved in 2 weeks! #Nerdlings #WarGaymers #40k #AdeptusCustodes #WIP
I won't be able to get any of it built and painted in time for Warhammer World on Monday, but excited to get my hands on those Orks soon! Already finding it easier to read the physical rule book over the exact same thing on my phone. My brain is weird! #WarGaymers #Nerdlings ##Warhammer40k
Not war gaming but still queer, so going to post it. A Restless Truth by Freya Marske. The sequal to A Marvellous Light. The settings is 1908, its very British, magic is real and there is graphic lesbian sex. And what's not to love about that? #BookRecommendations #Nerdlings
Just finished "Dungeon Crawler Carl" by @mattdinniman.bsky.social Immensely good fun, but with depth and thought provoking stuff thrown in too! Its like Hunger Games but you won't be utterly depressed. Highly recommended! Now off to by part 2! #Nerdlings #BookRecommendations #DungeonCrawlerCarl
I finished Ashes of the Imperium by Chris Wraight. This the Scouring which happens after the seige of Terra has failed and the heretics are on the run. I really enjoyed this. I found it easy to follow and despite a large cast, i remembered who everyone was. #Nerdlings #BlackLibrary #HorusHeresy
What do we think Bluesky? Do the red highlights on the black armour work? My highlights are messy and inconsistent. Would like opinions and suggestions before I do the next highlight and possibly an orange recess wash. Thoughts please! #WarGaymers #Nerdlings #WIP #PaintingWarhammer #40k
I really like my Orange Space Marines, but at Salute I found some nice Unicorn shoulder pads, and now I feel like I need to repaint everything... again
Spent 6 hours to list Sacrosanct Chamber Stormcast on eBay yesterday because I didn’t know what anything was. I Googled pics to match models and base sizes… Today found folders for the partwork magazine with ALL the answers. Could’ve been 30 minutes job. Truly inspiring competence #Nerdlings
#Salute53 was fun, saw lots of great minis, even chatted to a few people! But this old man has been beaten and I am admitting defeat and going home! Thank you to @roguehobbies.bsky.social and @katieplays40k.bsky.social for being nice to this socially awkward idiot! #WarGaymers #Nerdlings #Salute
Greetings! I will be attending #Salute53 tomorrow and will be wearing a bright red hoodie with a small WarGaymers logo embroidered on it. I have stickers! If you see me and want a WarGaymers sticker, please do say Hi! #Nerdlings #WarGaymers #Salute
I use this far too often, but its the best paint job I have ever achieved!
Andy Clark, Nerdling Herder@andycruns.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt’s Friday once again and I have been struck down with the plague. This week the theme is…sick. So let’s see your sick* stuff. As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! *definitions may vary #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday
Played a very enjoyable game of 40k at @badmooncafe.bsky.social tonight at their "Learn to play 40k". Adam, who was running the session managed to explain things in a way that I understood. My Orks were unreasonably lucky at times! #BadMoonCafe #WarhammerCommunity
In preparation for trip to WHW for WarGaymers's 3rd Anniversary, I have booked a learn to play 40k session at @badmooncafe.bsky.social I started in this hobby in 1991, and I have never understood the rules and thats put me off playing! #Nerdlings #40k #WarhammerCommunity #BadmoonCafe
These are good people. Buy their stuff!
Bad Squiddo Games (Annie)@badsquiddogames.bsky.social · 6mo agoWe're hyping up for Salute! It's only 2 weeks away now, and the show I look forward to the most. Who will be joining us in old London Town? With the help of mum (middle of the pic) we're currently working hard getting those racks refilled and all the new goodies added in too.
Is there any other faction that so completely encapsulates the setting of Warhammer 40,000 as much as the Adepta Sororitas? If you showed this range of models to someone new to the hobby, they would instantly understand the Grim Dark! What models do you think just scream 40k? #WarhammerCommunity
I am loving how orange is in fashion for miniature painting at the moment! I have been using it as a spot colour for years but only recently brave enough to try it as the main colour on my Space Marines because I thought it would be too gaudy. Would love to see how you use orange on your minis!
Of all the bad ideas I have ever had, this is certainly one of them. Trying to combine 30k mk2 armour with 40k CSM weapons. I have had to resort to green stuff! #Nerdlings #IronWarriors #ChaosSpaceMarines #WIP #40k
Not war gaming but still queer, so going to post it. A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske Started this on Sunday, finished on Tuesday. Really enjoyed it. The settings is 1908, its very British, magic is real and there is graphic gay sex. And what's not to love about that? #AMarvellousLight
Painting Space Marine armour trim felt too laborious for tonight. So, I went back to my Helsmiths as I needed to finish painting their underskirts with Naggaroth Night. I then fancied doing a bit more, so their sashes got 2 coats of Genestealer Purple. #WIP #PaintingWarhammer #Helsmiths #Nerdlings
Lords of Silence Illustrated and Annotated Edition by Chris Wraight. Beautiful book, great story and brilliant deep characters. I have savoured every minute of reading this and limited myself to 5 pages a night so as not to finish too soon! #Reading #Nerdlings #Nurgle #BlackLibrary
We love the little scenes that @enbygoblinpaints.bsky.social creates for each of their models. Very proud to have them as part of our community. Please do check out the rest of their projects and show them some love!
EnbyGoblinPaints@enbygoblinpaints.bsky.social · 7mo agoWeird little friend is as finished as this migraine is gonna let me get them #minipainting, #miniaturepainting
Finished the Impulsor build. Think I need to redo the silver in a few places where I somehow managed to completely miss with the spray can. Looking forward to covering it in Trollslayer Orange and making it really bright! #WarGaymers #Nerdlings #WIP #PaintingWarhammer #SpaceMarines
