A heavily armored kin of the leagues of votann. The proud Einhyr Champion. Holding a massive gravity charged hammer with lightning arcing off of charged head. Armed with a shield with a bolt pistol built in. Lightning arcs off the mass accelerators installed on his back. Donning a brilliant gold ornament of a ram's head atop the back of his armor just above the mass accelerators signaling his status. Ready to charge head on to meet the foes of the Leagues.

The Einhyr Champion charges forth to face his foe a hulking Ork Warboss. Heavily armored and wielding a crude chain axe and a small little grotling atop his shoulders manning a chain gun to provide support. He will be no match for the mighty Einhyr.

Tried my hand at adding some lightning effects to my Einhyr Champion. It's not the best out there but I tried my best and I'm proud of it.

A look from above at a black metal tray filled with all the Imperial Guard miniatures I've been painting since January. Most are wearing urban grey camo uniforms. The list is as follows: 2 guardsmen with flamers. A platoon command squad: An officer with power fist and laspistol, and 4 guardsmen with melta guns. 3 heavy weapon teams with mortars, 3 with heavy bolters. Sly Marbo, painted with desert camo trousers and a khaki top. The ratling snipers from the Provisionally Prepared set. 2 metal tank crew miniatures. 1 wounded standard bearer. 10 hardened veterans with plasma guns and shotguns, painted with black uniforms. 12 metal Kasrkin with white armor and black uniforms, two each are having plasma guns and melta guns. 1 imperial pilot from the Battle for Macragge starter set, wearing a blue uniform and tan armor. 1 Lord Commissar and 5 Commissars, wearing white uniforms and black great coats with red trims. 1 wounded guardsman with his arm in a sling.

Marneus Calgar, the recently retired plastic miniature which has him in his custom Gravis armour, the Armour of Heraclus. Pretty much painted in the same scheme as on the packaging, with the exception of the bolters attached to his power fists: They are painted in red as a nod to my 3rd Edition Space Marine army. He is standing in front of an entry way (GW's Arcane Ruins painted in grey), visible in the background is a page of Jon Hodgson's World War Ruins backdrop books, showing more rubble and ruins.

Ancient Greek-themed miniatures, standing in a forest. Half of them are built as hoplites, two are sword fighters with shields, the last two are armed with ranged weapons (sling and bow). The group's clothes, shields and plumes of their helmets are colorful. The shields are without decals as I have yet to order them. They are accompanied by their trusty animals: A dog, an owl (sitting on the slinger's shoulder), and… a guinea pig with its tiny rider, which is standing on its own base, but can also be attached to the leader's base. Visible in the background is the statue of some strange mythical animal (it's a capybara really). Further behind is a page from Jon Hodgson’s More Skies backdrop book, showing a clear blue sky with some clouds approaching.

An image of the Paintslam 26 hobby log, listing the 67 miniatures I've completed in March, and those from the previous months. In total I've finished 110 miniatures this year.

I'm a day early, but I had time to do my end of the month roundup:

With 67 minis March has been very productive. This is mostly because of the 54 Guard minis I’ve been working on since January.

I expect this number to drop again in April, but I'm open to surprises. 😁

Berhek Stornbrow a champion of the leagues of votann Cthonians triumphantly holds a loft the head of an orc warboss. Dangling it by the hair on it's head. In his other hand he holds his weapon. A modified graviton hammer with a plasma mining pick on the back of the hammer's head. Berhek has dark brown skin which is a solid as rock. With rock like protrusions jutting from his head and shoulders up to his arms. Clad with a power pack on his back to enhance his physical strength, with 4 cables connected to his shoulders and arms. The only armor he dons is his giant girdle style belt with some standard issue trousers and boots.

Finished up the leagues of votann new character Berehk Stornbrow. Really fun to paint. One of my new favorite models.

March's #paintslam definitely fits a theme

Added some really nice blood splatters and details to my dwarf witcher. First time using blood for the blood god technical paint and I think it turned out pretty good.

Made some progress on my diorama. Got the stone arches painted and added some rocks. Waiting on some technical paints to come in and some 3d printed stuff for background ambiance and it'll be done!

Finished models in February, which are all Imperial Guard vehicles for Warhammer 40k. In total there are 3 Leman Russ tanks, 2 Chimera APC, 1 Valkyrie aircraft, 1 Sentinel scout walker, and 1 Manticore self-propelled rocket artillery. All are painted in a grey urban camo scheme. The middle Russ and the Valkyrie are those vehicles which only needed decals, the right Russ only needed highlights and decals. All the other vehicles required more work to be done.

Paintslam 2026 hobby log. After 36 models in January, most of which were miniatures for the game "Dead Man's Hand", I painted six Imperial Guard vehicles in February. (I didn't count those that only needed decals.)

After a really productive January I fell a bit behind in February. Not that much finished stuff: 6 vehicles + 2 more which only needed decals.

I did fill out my #PaintSlam hobby log though.

A hideously overlit picture of a 28mm wizardy figure with some base colours on - red robes and brown trim, dark grey cloak. Its our friend from my previous posts - 'Villainous Warlock', from Ral Partha Europe.

Another hideously overlit picture of a 28mm wizardy figure with some base colours on - red robes and brown trim, dark grey cloak. Its our friend from my previous posts - 'Villainous Warlock', from Ral Partha Europe. This time he has the upper torso of a plastic Mantic skeleton badly poster-tacked to his base, a very raw serving suggestion for what I'm contemplating.

Trying to get my nexy #PaintSlam entry before I lose impetus - can't decide though - should 'Villainous Warlock for Scale' be as is (pic 1) or 'Doing a necromancy' (pic2).

Excuse the heinous lighting, it was all done in the worst possible haste!

Obvs, very rough and ready.

Decisions, decisions.

Ok, I'll try again, after (checks notes) my abject failure in 2023...

...and pretty much since.

First model finished! A Renedra Wattle Shed, with unpainted Ral-Partha Europe Villainous Warlock for scale.

Guess I gotta paint the Warlock now!

The entry for this month's flgs painting contest. The theme was small package. Came in 7/9. Not bad for my return after a year. Wait to see next month. #nerdling #paintslam #contest

Trying #paintslam out for the first time. Hobby goal; to have fun and relax.

This is an image of a Bloodbowl Linesnot. All craftsnotship is of the highest quality. This little goblin is wearing a beautiful purple robe and a lovely baby blue hat - the hat being the team uniform colour. He’s carrying a large brown mushroom as a club and has a red mushroom in the hat itself. He’s pointing. To what? To where? No one will ever know. All images in this post are of the same feller from different angles.

Who also has a robe and hat, the colours are reversed however. Both pointing, towards an uncertain future we have no choice but to move towards.

Another one down! That’s a nice purple robe and blue hat this Snotling has. I bet he’s comfy as heck.

I wonder what he’s pointing at?

a manticore miniature with sandy brown skin and wings with darker brown skin and bright orange mane on a light grey base

I was right; the mane did bring it all together. Little bit of work on wing tips, some highlights for the mane and then the base and the Manticore will be done #PaintSlam #WarhammerCommunity

A Chaos Dwarf mini with pale skin, metallic purple armour, a greying black beard with gold and green jewel decorations, carrying a metallic bladed staff, standing on grey rocks on a brown base with brown sand material

The War Despot in all his glory... yes, making him look like a Dairy Milk wrapper was a deliberate choice on my part #PaintSlam #ageofsigmar #WarhammerCommunity

Oops I completely forgot to post my January 2026 PaintSlam update! In Janaury I managed to finish off 6 classic Hero Quest Orcs. This takes my monthly total to 6 so far and gives me some breathing room for this month's mini and it's one I'm very excited about showing off 😁 #paintslam #nerdlings

My Paintslam 26 sheet

Partially assembled and painted Krieg Guardsmen and Guardswomen in a foam tray

This year I’m trying to keep track of mini painting using #paintslam the old fashioned way.
12 minis so far isn’t bad and batch painting my remaining soldiers in Krieg gear is underway.
#Nerdlings

It is the end of the month and time to update the paintslam. I only got 7 minis done this month, which sounds terrible but as long as I paint at least one mini a week, I am feeling ok. #nerdling #paintslam

Today I was lucky to attend a painting class hosted by Darcy Bono. As a mid painter, I am always interested in improving. The mini I took with me had to be the reaper from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social It still does need some touch up. #nerdling #minipainting #paintslam

I did some more hobby work today. Just some priming and put others in a jug to soak. I feel I have really upped my hobby game this year. #nerdling #hobbytime #paintslam

Despite being a BLATANT #PaintSlam rip off i am excited to track my painting this year and win a prize maybe

Banana Mage does also get me a box on the bingo card. It is a magic user. #nerdling #paintslam #bingo

First, of many, mini for the year! Figured this model would be great for the wizard's butt set. All I have to do is a little painting and I remember why I love it. #nerdling #paintslam #wizardbutt #banana
