While I managed to submit my Smashbash 2025 diorama project I didn't manage to completely finish the painting as I did not want to rush painting the minis and risk messing anything up.

I made some progress on my submission(s) for Olden Demon.

I finished the Sponsons on my Modular Predator Tanks.

In addition to my goals for April I also managed to paint a few other minis including GW's mini of the month, an Easter Eggs Monster and my submission to #MiniOfTheMonth.

April 2025 #hobbyroundup

- Finished my #smashbash2025 submission (although I didn't finish painting it 100%)

Hers some pic from my #smashbash2025 entry. The slug was sculpted from airdry. I built the scrap settlement from mainly junk. All miniatures have been kitbashed. Most of them have had sculpting done to them.

A Bad Case of the 'Shrooms.

My entry for the #smashbash2025 competition. The brief was "mostly in the flesh".

I brief, it's my take on where Orcs and Goblins come from.

My submission for #smashbash2025; this year's theme was "Mostly In the Flesh". I didn't have an idea for this until a couple of days ago, hence my uh "limited" color palette.

I'll probably paint it after I get a few other projects done, but I am super happy with how it looks with just the zenithal

My (kind of) finished Diorama of what i imagine a Votann Core might look like for Smashbash 2025, while I would have liked to paint the characters and add some addition details to the scene with the submission date coming up tomorrow I don't want to rush it and risk messing anything up.

Some different angels and detail shots of my Diorama showing the characters interacting with the scene.

#hobbystreak Day 196 | Votann Diorama done (kinda)

After some consideration I'm calling it here on my #votann diorama.

The #smashbash2025 deadline is tomorrow and I don't want to mess up by rushing.

I'll get back to it in the future and make any final touches

#warhammercommunity #40k #diorama

My original plan to pick out the wires in the backdrop however I feel like they end up being a bit much and I'll instead be repainting them in silvers and bronzes using some washes to dull everything down and blend it better into the background.

#hobbystreak Day 195

More Progress on my #smashbash2025 diorama, I originally planned to pick out the wires with colours, but looking at it now I don't think it works so I'll be repainting the areas with silver & bronzes dulling it down with some washes

The finished build for my Votann Core Smashbash Project now to move on to painting.

#hobbystreak Day 180 | Smashbash Assembly done

With some final touch-ups I decided to call it on the building stage of my #smashbash2025 project, fingers crossed the nice weather will persist so I can prime it later this week.

My hobby goals for including continuing to work on my modular Iron Warriors vehicles, as well as starting on my Olden Demon and Smashbash 2025 entry.

My my goal for this month was to finish most of the modular Iron Warriors which I managed to do sans accessories.

While I mostly worked on Vehicles this month i did manage to get a bit of work done on the Necromunda Squads magnetising the arms on the Exo-kyn.

I didn't end up making progress on painting my Kharadon Overlords or finishing my Huevember 2024 project

March 2025 #hobbygoals & February 2025 #hobbyroundup

- Continue working on the modular Vehicles (Predator Turrets & Sponsons, Rhino Primaris, Spartan Excelsior, Achilles and Helios)
