Dwarves and men assault a castle held by orcs, attacking directly with a siege tower and mining beneath the walls ("Siege," cross-section diorama by Ivan Bartleet, White Dwarf 109, January 1989). There are a variety of early Citadel orcs here, with knights from their Feudals historic range by the Perry twins, many of which are now available from Wargames Foundry.

"Among the twisted trees and scattered ruins of the Rustwood, a wretched, malevolent being lurks... one whose incredible hatred cannot possibly be sated, no matter how many sküuls it kräkks with its instrument of crude brütallity... They call it... Herr Hammerkrabbe."

Had a mostly free day today, so I decided it would be best used turning one of those cute lil crab pen holder things I had laying around into an absolutely wicked lil fucker <3

Moving on to the more advanced henchwomen of the amazon warband, we have our scouts! Rules allow three but I could only think of two, an archer and spearwoman. Maybe I could make a javelin-tosser should I expand the warband.

For now, these two shall hide in the shadows of the cursed city, waiting to ambush anyone who dares walk the ruined streets.

The Thorns of the Briar Queen 💀

Another unit finished this week for my AoS Nighthaunt army.

This lot was so enjoyable to paint, they’re full of character and great little details given that they were originally a Warhammer Underworlds Warband. The Briar Queen herself is a lovely miniature, but my favourite is the gaoler with his portcullis-esque mask, cell keys and little candlestick.

The sculpted scenic bases are just incredible too, they were so much fun to paint especially as bases are one of my favourite parts of a miniature!

Onwards now to a unit of five Bladegheist Revenants, which are already at a fairly advanced stage of readiness.

Just the ethereal areas left now and they will be complete!

Happy Hobbying!

Yesterday I painted up the Warhammer Mini of the Month (Oct 2024). I don't usually do dirt and mud spatter but I needed to hide/distract from the metallic particles that got in from the paint water...

(This pot of Ral Partha metallic silver paint has maintained its consistency very well over the last 24 years. It also has excellent coverage and smells bad.)

Some plunder Felstad for it’s lost treasures, other see the value in it’s ancient and SHREDDABLE architecture.

This is a silly one, but I saw a meme of a skating wizard and thought; that would be a pretty sick wizard and had to make some mini versions of them. The painting could’ve been a whole lot better, but I’m gonna be honest I had no real plans for it and really only focused on the kitbashing.

Hochland handgunners, Warhammer Fantasy Citadel October 2025

A recent trip to my hometown of Nottingham had the liquor of nostalgia pumping through my veins, and so I couldn't resist picking up a couple of bits for my ongoing (and much-beloved) Hochland project for Warhammer Fantasy. These handgunners aren't from that particular shopping spree, instead serving as a small test batch for my colour scheme.

I don't have a story for these little guys! I got them to act as a screen for my War Dogs after that last disaster of a game. First thing I learned last session was that never play new Space Marines at anything other than normal tables. Agreeing to cut the table width in half and play on the long table edges was.....bullshit to be honest. I had no idea space Marines could advance and charge in one turn which really feels like something War Dogs should do natively but whatever.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get some more pictures. I have a game against Orks, I've been hoping to play them early on and now I have my chance! Till next time everyone!
