Warboss Gengitz Kaan of the Badmoons is ready to lead his WAAAGH against the puny lesser races of the galaxy! He needs some boyz now. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k #badmoons #Nerdlings

Happily married, homeschooling a son, practicing and coaching Taekwondo and Kickboxing. Old git who plays Battletech, Infinity, and Frostgrave amongst other games. I paint more than I play, but it keeps me out of trouble...if broke.
That's the painting finished. I'm just waiting on the arrival of tufts and static grass. I'm also going to add a little pigment powder to the base when it's 'grassed'. I shall call him Warboss Gengitz Kaan of the Badmoons. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k ##badmoons #Nerdlings
The Bigboss is very nearly finished. I still have niggly bits and details to finish. I am also waiting on 'dead' static grass and tufts to arrive for the base. Now he needs a name! Comment with your suggestions please. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k #badmoons #Nerdlings
Yellow gunz is cool. Anyone says diffunt gets a zoggin' crumpin' I think hazard stripes would be appropriate for his big choppa'! I'm on the home straight. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k #badmoons #Nerdlings
Calling all Space Ork Bigbosses. Does anyone have the instructions from WD131(?) for scratch building the O.G. Battlewagon? If not, does anyone have a Battlewagon and can measure some dimensions for me, please? #warhammer40K #spaceorks #battlewagon #roguetrader40k #Nerdlings
What started off as tinkering to get out of a painting funk seems to have escalated a bit 😆 His tabard is finished in a fetching pastel yellow with black flames, and the leather is done. Metals next, I think. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k #badmoons #Nerdlings
I decided this Warboss was not destined to be a Goff. He seemed to display a sunnier disposition. His shoulder armour is about done. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k #Nerdlings #badmoons
I managed a little more ork fettling this evening. I'm fairly happy with his face now, and I have made a start on his tabard. #wh40kpaint #minipainter #orks40k #roguetrader40k #Nerdlings
I have been struggling with my painting/model building mojo of late. I decided to grab an old mini I don't particularly care about and put some paint on it to get out of this funk. So far, I like it. I may even finish it... #spaceorks #roguetrader40k #wh40kpaint #minipainter #Nerdlings
Presenting my finished Airfix/Heller Erich Hartmann in his Bf109k in 1/72 from the Aircraft of the Aces special editions range. I learned a lot. I made many mistakes. In the end, it doesn't look too shabby. #Nerdlings #airfix #airfixmodels #modelkits #messerschmitt
I needed a change from painting miniatures, so I dug out an old @officialairfix kit from my pile of doom. This is a 1999 reboxing of a 1959 vintage kit! Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX as piloted by Johnnie Johnson, in 1/72 scale. #airfix #airfixmodels #modelkits #Spitfire #Nerdlings
Postie has been. Another one off my Battletech 'Unseen' bucket list! The Grand Crusader has arrived. #battletechminiatures #battletech #paintingbattletech #battletechalphastrike #battletechgame #Nerdlings
Dire Wolf on the hunt. Jade Falcons, Gamma Galaxy. #battletechminiatures #battletech #battletechalphastrike #battletechgame #Nerdlings
It seems I forgot to upload my finished Cougar. Another addition to my Clan Jade Falcons, Gamma Galaxy. #battletechminiatures #battletech #battletechalphastrike #battletechgame #Nerdlings
This isn't a new paintjob. I just updated photos on an old scenic board. The board is being retired as it's falling apart. Clan Marauder IIc (unseen miniature). #battletechminiatures #battletech #battletechalphastrike #battletechgame #Nerdlings
I have decided to revisit the Jade Falcons after a break of about 10 years. Playing with a new camo scheme for the JF Gamma Galaxy 'Ebon Jaguar' (Cauldron Born). #battletechminiatures #battletech #battletechalphastrike #battletechgame #Nerdlings
I'm slowly expanding my Gray Death Legion. Delmar Clay had been added to the command lance in his WVR-6R Wolverine. I'll be painting Lori Kalmar's Shadowhawk at some point soon(ish). #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
I'm shattered but happy. I now hold 1st Dan black belts in both TKD and Kickboxing. Not bad for an old man.
My vintage Battledroid Warhammer is done. A fairly old school style of painting, which I felt was appropriate. Natasha Kerensky, the Black Widow, is ready to stalk her prey in her WHM-6R, Black Lady. #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
I am readying my next project. A recent online score, a Battledroids era, Warhammer. Such a vintage miniature deserves an appropriately retro paint scheme! #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
I had the idea of fitting a cockpit into a 'mech. I read that the Red Corsair's Battlemaster had a twin seat affair with a command console, so I got a 3rd edition plastic mini and started hacking! #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
Some more buildings from @the_lazy_forger. Welcome to the Crossroads Motel. Don't lean on the walls they wobble... If you get the reference, you're probably British and old, too! Rifleman for scale. #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
Classic 'old school' cast resin 6mm scale buildings from the Master @oldcrowmodels. Linked to Instagram due to file size. #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings www.instagram.com/reel/DVLgyWX...

Some smaller buildings of the 'Asian city' set from The Lazy Forger as a residential suburb. With the medium tower block from the same range. Rifleman for scale. #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
Now I need to decide on some paint schemes. It's only right that I use an appropriately vintage guide! #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
These stripped nicely. Under heavy enamel paint, the detail was protected beautifully 😍 #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
My birthday present to myself just arrived! Battledroid goodness, ready to go into paint stripper. #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
This is the medium tower block of the 'Asian city' set from @the_lazy_forger Crapston Villa has vacancies for tech or mechwarriors on a budget or between contracts. Wipe your feet on your way out... #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
Happy birthday to me, and may the blessings of Blake be upon you. #battletech #battletechalphastrike #mechwarrior #battletechminiatures #battletechgame #Nerdlings
