This Wood Elf Wardancer just got a new base and a little touch-up to his paint job. I forgot how metal models chip... #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #whfb #warhammeroldworld #woodelf #woodelves 

This past weekend I made the short trek to Holton, Kansas to play in the Freestate Gaming Club GT. It was a five round GT with 32 players. I went 2-3 with my Salamanders. I know that my Salamanders/Space Marines aren’t in the greatest spot compared to the meta lists but I gave it my best and kept my chin up in some brutal losses. Also, I was dog tired and I have a serious case of medicine head from my allergy meds that are trying to combat a battle against a spore invasion from my arch nemesis, Spring.   Here’s my list: Vulcan He’stan Apothecary 5 Assault Intercessors 5 Intercessors 3 Flamer Aggressors x 2 3 Bladeguard Veterans x 2 3 Erradicators x 2 Landraider Crusader x 2 Redemptor Dreadnought (Onlsaught loadout) Repulusor Repulsor Executioner with Heavy Laser Destroyer Here’s a quick recap. Day 1: Round 1: 18-100 loss to Orks. Oof. Joe’s ork nob list ate all of my vehicles by the end of round 2 and the Orks went krumpin and I was tabled by round 3. I tried to yeet my Redemptor dread

I rebased my oldhammer Wood Elf Shaman. I need a couple more touch-ups, but I'm fairly happy with it.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #oldhammer #oldworld #theoldworld #woodelves #woodelf #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity

A rebased Oldhammer Wood Elf Standard Bearer ready to rejoin the Old World. I never thought I'd play with these models again! Also, rebasing is a pain, but I do like the extra space it gives the model.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity #middlehammer #oldworld #theoldworld #woodelves #woodelf #oldhammer 

I have army ADHD. Send help ... or more models. Either is fine. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #goblinmode #nightgoblins #nightgoblins #squig #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity #oldhammer #whfb

For Athel Loren! I'm pulling my wood elves out of long-term storage and repainting them to actually play a game with them in the near future and I'm so excited. I never thought they would see a tabletop again! Since I need to rebase them for Old World, I figured I'd start from scratch and give my entire collection a fresh coat of paint and this fellow is the first in line.  The Wood Elves were my first WHFB army and I've got the same thrill now as I did when I first played a game all those years ago and I can't wait to play again.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #oldhammer #oldworld #theoldworld #woodelves #woodelf #warhammerofficial 

I think I just received on the of the biggest compliments in my miniature painting career. I posted a recent pic of my Alpha Legion legionnaire on Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy’s Facebook page and much to my surprise, I received this comment!   Needless to say, I’m extremely flattered and it made my day! I don’t know if it was Duncan himself, a staffer, or a bot who made the comment, but it made me feel great. It goes to show how taking a few minutes to say something nice can really boost someone. For my part, I'm going to try to keep that rolling and make similar feedback to the people I follow. I know I'm not Duncan, but I think the positivity is something the community needs.   

I haven't successfully kicked the urge to paint an Alpha Legion army... #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #horusheresy #alphalegion40k #40kalphalegion #spacemarines40k #adeptusastartes #astartes

This daft git disarms himself by throwing his spear at the start of every battle. He then has to resort to throwing rocks and poorly worded slurs at his enemy.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #goblinmode #nightgoblins #grimdark 

I've always wanted to do a loyalist Alpha Legion army, and I did this test model to get it out of my system. The urge to repaint my silver and green marines is strong, especially after finding this shade of blue that I really enjoy.  The Alpha Legion Horus Heresy novels are some of my favorites in the series and I love their motivations for joining the side of the Warmaster. Their "wildcard" loyalties, their true mission, and their duplicitous tactics, coupled with their shadowy origins are all great fodder for any author to write real a page-turner beyond the bolter-porn of many 40k novels. You really can never predict how their stories will turn out or what secrets will be uncovered and that unpredictably keeps me hooked. The "Trefoil" background shared with the Salamanders and Space Wolves also keeps fueling my urge for a playable Alpha Legion army. Having three armies with a common thread is desirable, but I can't articulate why I need or want that kind

"Get loot'n or die flying!" I finished repainting this old stormboy from my early days in the hobby. Not my best work, but far better that he looked in his old paint job.

I just finished this Black Templars Crusader, painted in my custom chapter, the Rampant Lions.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #spacemarines40k #adeptusastartes #astartes #homebrewchapter #28mm

It's 'ard to not talk like an Ork while paint'n "em. In'nit? #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity #orks40k #orks #40korks #waaagh #Warhammer40k

Where's da loot? #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #40korks #orks40k #deathskulls #waaagh 

I finished another Neophyte for my home brew Space Marine chapter, the Rampant Lions. He's officially from the Black Templars Crusader squad, but I can use him as a scout if I decide to run another chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #spacemarines40k #adeptusastartes #astartes #homebrewchapter #28mm #28mag #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity 

No matter what project I'm working on, I'm thinking i should be painting more Orks. I've just finished a couple more ruffians to join my Deathskull mob. Let me know what you think!  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity #orks40k #orks #28mm #Warhammer40k #waaagh 

For a model who scrys the threads of future fates, he fails to cast Fortune on a 2+ more often than not ...  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #new40k #eldar40k #warhammerofficial #warhammercommunity #aeldari #farseer

I know I've posted this before, but I took a new photo for Instagram. I had long since packed away my Tomb Kings after Age of Sigmar was released but I kept my Hierophant out for some reason. WHFB was my favorite miniature game and I hope that some of my local gaming crew get into it. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #oldworld #theoldworld #tombkings #warhammercommunity #oldhammer

I just finished this warlord Eldar Farseer for my Aeldari force and I'm pleased with how he came out. My old eyes struggled with all of those gems though... #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #Warhammer40k #aeldari #farseer #eldar40k #spaceelves
