I hate it but I know that's because I imagined the box art. Now time for the other three 😁

...damn...looks horrible in the pictures ...

Wasn't expecting to crank out the #DeathWatcth mini of the month in one #miniPainting sitting but there we go! (Might take better photos tomorrow)

The most interesting part was doing the under-shading quickly with a makeup sponge - I'm in love with the approach. The worst was the damn Xpress Hospital black - need to see if I can work out why it and Violet Gloom are so eager to grist up!

1 (Sun) Day? 1 (Chaos) Dwarve!

It's the mini of the month - I intend to do a full Underworld warband but I don't have those models yet 🙂

There are enough details on this that I dislike that I don't expect I will do this like this again. I really need to practice my dry brushing, and, learn to double check whether or not paints will reactivate. 😤

Usual VLog is here

The obnoxious Stormcast I was stuck on since September

Some Tyranids. I have more. I'll deal with them later

My sister doesn't use Tumblr so as long as this doesn't "break confinement" I can post it here ...

Mona the Mastif

She's come out a bit lighter than intended but I'm not going to mess with her. I'm hoping to workout a way to mail her to the USA (safely) for Christmas.

Amidst all the drama I've finished the likGuy for June. I'm going to call em a member of The Legion of Zora. #miniPainting #warHammer #aos #sbg #soulBlightGraveLords

Weekly Hobby Stuff 2025-06-20

I'm trying to keep a rolling post of "Hobby News" I noticed during the week which goes live on Friday mornings :)

... and I really do try to be not-just-Space Marines and GW

Cathay goes up for order from Big Dubz - it's the first big totally new The Old World thing ... faction ... I think?

There's a new Black Templar Ancient upcoming / revealed

I spotted a first KickStarter for a home UV texture printer (expensive) (can print onto sprues)

Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford have (left DnD and) joined Darrington Press (the Critical Role company) implying implying DnD is doing less-well or that CR is doing REALLY well

Free Again!

i asked and Tumblr HQ agreed I'm not spicy i should move it all back to http://wikipeter.tumblr.com/

[gay-mormon-wizard]

today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god

[lets-burn-down-the-post-office]

“I’ve been at the devil’s sacrament so long I forgot he wasn’t god” is getting added to the tumblr line book

Finished The Eater.

Model by #FleshOfGods and printed by #OnlyGames

What if instead of "Spooky Scary Skeletons" we went the #OldGodsOfApalachia route and described some deformed monstrosity hiding under a sheet, who went forth at night to hunt down and consume those who had crossed carnival management ...

Finished the #EmperorsChildren ... Tormentor? but I did it as a #BlackstoneFortress #Chaos #SpaceMarine since I'm not going to get a whole army. Which I say every time. Proud of the idea to cover the leg in flesh.

I did the WarHammer World hobby workshop project and got it only slightly wrong 🙂

Finished these #Sylvaneth SpiteRevenants and BranchWytch for #aos (which I'll probably never play) but hey - I do love me some #miniPainting so that's nice 🥰

Stanley is a rat and Stanley is currently guarding the buzz ball I bought at the bar and then forgot to open

Tree Revenant Scion

Painted the base rim at lunch, then picked out the top of the Vine with fuchsia making the whole thing just come together as far as I'm concerned. That's a good one done.

This guy, and his friends, are an attempt by me to speed TF up with these models. I think ... it's worked ... maybe. I'm loving the results anyway, and, I'm now fighting the urge to go out and purchase the Spearhead set when they're done

I have the Branchwych as well ... but ... the cost of the Tree Bros and the Tree Load on their own match the cost of the Spearhead set - boymath says buy the whole thing
