Nothing deep to expect here. Just leisurely painting and converting miniatures for Warhammer (AoS, Warcry, 40k 2nd edition), Rackham and whatever else tickles my interest. Header and other paintovers by artistsempire.com

So one of the coolest thing about the Second 'Eds event was the chance to set up some army pics on 'proper' era-appropriate terrain. These pics were kindly taken for me with a real camera and everything!

I had an absolute blast at the 2nd Heads event organised by Ed from Minisodes at the weekend. A couple of games of 2nd edition (including a huge 3000pt a side one where we managed to get all my Chaos horde out), a game of Space Crusade, and a great time with like minded folk!

Back from an amazing weekend away at the 'Second 'eds' event organised by Ed from the YouTube channel Minisodes. Many games of 2nd Edition 40k were played across stunning tabletops with gorgeous, fully-painted armies in classic style but the main takeaway was what a lovely bunch of folks I'd met.

So it turns out Matthew at #Miniscape also released a video which included a couple of my bunkers yesterday.

Massive thanks to Matthew.

I'm finding this all a bit bonkers ❀️

Ed over at #Minisodes has made this great video about my landing pad model.

Huge thanks to Ed for this, it's so exciting to see.

If you are thinking about getting the model this is a must watch.

Dark Elves werenβ€˜t their own faction way back in 2nd Edition, but I think these Pirates would be sufficient, since they are lead by a proper Dark

It's been a while since I joined in with #SelfPromotionSaturday so here I go.

I design nostalgic 3D prints for wargaming that are easy to print on pretty much any FDM printer and need no supports, so no faffing about with support removal.

Update on my #Gorkamorka project:

Most of the stock β€˜o boys β€˜n yoofs are done, now a second nob and then for some actual wheels β€˜n tracks

It also developed a dual ambition:
Possible gameplay for both Gorkamorka itself and 2nd edition 40k as wellπŸ˜… …

… but now off to a quick detour into #Mordheim

I heartily recommend everyone watch the latest #BattleReport from #Minisodes

Not just because it is an excellent watch, which it is Ed is a master at making these videos.

But because it includes a a fat dollop of my own terrain.
