But when I do, I combine it with grandad's shorts and hiking boots' Whether the hiking boots belonged to grandad too is not entirely clear. Regardless, ha ha

One ulfwerener standing around confused, one jarl tooting his horn, two berserkers swinging their giant battle axes, two bondsmen swinging their swords around, three archers arching their archery stuff, and one marauder looking quite a bit like a bondsman. The last marauder is waving around a big ass flag which I did not like painting and which shows.
Aaaand good enough! The Norse Explorers warband I decided to name 'Toksvig Masculinity', for #Mordheim.
First time trying to do all metal in #NMM (and let the record show that my time and energy were at 5 of 100% lol).

Termagant model with wraithbone (warm off-white) base coat on head, body, arms, legs, and blaster thingy. This time the coverage is better than last time. Other areas show gray primer.
Infernus marine model with Macragge blue (navy blue) base coat on all areas but aquila, backs of joints, and flamethrower. Coverage is much more complete this time than last.
Friday I needed some low stakes painting so cleaned up the base coats on the space bug and space marine.
Now I'm overthinking on "what thoughts run through their little heads?" I'm honestly more scared by what's likely in the marine's head.

Family traveled for my brother's wedding. These tend to have a lot of "hurry up and wait" so I thought I'd run an experiment with the down time:
What kind of painting might I accomplish with an off-the-shelf kit with minis, brushes, paints, and clippers? ...

Limited hobby time today but I've been eager to get the #Undead #BloodBowl team started, en especial La Momia y Martín Saletripas. One color each is still progress!

Painted miniatures of the Sepulchral Guard warband from Warhammer Underworlds. Cloth worn by all the models is forest green, their metal a worn bronze-ish color.
A four-up set of close ups of: A skeleton with a sword and shield, swinging the sword across its body and holding the shield to one side. A hooded skeleton swinging a scythe overhead. A skeleton with sword and shield, hunched forward as though it just finished attacking with the sword. A skeleton rising from the ground, supporting itself with a sword.
A three-up set of close ups of: An armored skeleton with a spear, shield, and long cape expressing a sense of command. A crowned skeleton with a mace and shield, brandishing the mace above its head. A semi-armored skeleton with a helm with a shield strapped to its back holding a large sword in two hands, ready to strike.
Finally calling these guys done. Love these models! They've been fun if intimidating to paint. Enjoyed learning with them. It's time to clear coat and move on.

Landrover doing his thing in a three piece suit like a proper auctioneer
Hand drawn art in pencil and pen of thrud the barbarian, signed 'here to another 20 years! Best wishes, Carl Critchlow' FYI this thing sold for 555 pounds
Lovingly painted and decorated kraken stadium pitch donated by JemJar. It may have sold for a mere 150 quid, but the person who bought did leave message that he had lost his grandfather we before and came to the tournament straight from burial, and felt absolutely welcome and taken care of by everyone at the event. The pitch will be used to collect more money for charity in local tournaments.

Clearly someone's kid playing against one of the 'ardest fellas around, and not giving a shit how 'ard exactly. These people have nothing to do with the situation described in the toot, as Sickric and Straykid both had uneventful tournaments with a lot of fun.
#Thrudball retrospective 🧵 9/?
Anyway, the games played went off uneventfully. And that's great, because uneventful means fair. Lots of people were having a lot of fun, and Thrudball is GOOD at fun. Only one coach didn't enjoy their games and got really salty so […]

Sepulchral Guard continue. Blocked in bone on some a few weeks ago. Was super pleased with that day's work. Today's experiment was bronze then silver drybrush for a corroded metal look on weapons and shields.

This #ThrowbackThursday going back to a model I've let sit for months because I was afraid I'd "ruin" it as I painted over the underpainting.
Pleased with the color blocking so far. Turned out better than I anticipated.

Unsatisfied with the result from the sea foam speed paint on the banshees I thinned down jade green. Loving the bolder color. Will experiment with a jade "sheen" on limbs.

Plastic parts for Ahsoka Tano, Jedi no more model from Star Wars Shatterpoint. The lightsabers are extremely thin and made me worry they'd break if I didn't carefully remove them from the sprue as soon as possible.
Anyone else lose their breath while cutting lightsabers from the sprue when working with #Shatterpoint models?
Un pavor total.
But it is done.
