I got my start in the hobby with 2nd Ed Warhammer 40k when I was a kid. After a long break I came back to the hobby and it's taken 5-6 years back at the painting desk to circle more or less back to the beginning. Technically this is a new sculpt in the old style, but it feels like home.

Very glad that @battlebrushstudios.bsky.social convinced me into 10mm... really like how this stand of 3 infantry has worked out.

I fell in love with this even before I knew it existed. Such an amazing model for such a memorable mech

This is one of the best glow ups of the new battletech plastics (tied with the Executioner IMHO) and an amazing mini on it's own

Bloodcrusher. I never liked chaos space marines, but I always was very curious regarding these semi mechanical mounts

Very productive evening, finishing the last (kinda) buildings for my Montcornet table ahead of HoL this sat. The townhall is a placeholder as the real town hall scratch build is delayed (I made it too large..). All are 3d prints that are reentered etc. Plus painted 30ft of latex road!

Photographed in front of a HandiWorks backdrop as usual.

Gangs of New Pavis! I wanted a layout where you can get right across the table without touching the ground. Lots of Prince of Persia leaping about. Looks good for 2x2. Need a few more buildings to take it up 2x3 or 3x3. Planning a forested ruin table which I will build myself from @fenrisgames.com

My half company of Great War poilus is done. All that's left is some machine guns and mortars (and maybe a Saint-Chamond, and a couple more 75s, and...)

English Civil War:

A bit more progress. I like to get the command done first and then work my way down the sprue. It gives me something to aim for when completing each subsequent base. πŸ‘

A few more stands complete for my English Civil War Pike and Shotte army. Two cannon and a command stand which will be King Charles and the Royal Standard. These smaller bases are a nice quick project that helps break up the infantry.
