After my 25-ish year hiatus from the hobby, the first miniatures I built and painted was a stealth battlesuit squad from the previous #tau #combatpatrol box, a little over a year ago. Because of that, it’s quite fun to paint a new squad now, and see how my skills have progressed. These are almost, but not quite, done. Maybe I’ll do comparisons with the old squad once they’re finished. #warhammercommunity #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #wip

Finished stuff. First my #Mordheim or #BloodBowl #Medieval #Marginalia. After some highlighting up the garbage contrast paints and finishing the bases i was quite happy.
Second my ancient #BattleMasters ogre for #RangersOfShadowDeep. He's hideous and has five knuckles on his left fist. But he's fun.

Still not decided if they're going to be a #Mordheim warband or a #BloodBowl team. But i'm regretting having taken up citadel contrasts, even if it means faster turnaround. I've done mouths, eyeballs, shields and other details. Tomorrow NMM time.

My Macahrius Heavy Tank for the Solar Auxilia is finished, and features alternative turrets to allow me to take all the weapons
It's my warboss again! There were a few details I rushed for the competition so I went back in and fixed them.
Some more pictures from this battle. #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #tau #ultramarines
The Greater Good took a beating tonight at the hands of Titus and the Sons of Ultramar. The 11yo massacred my tau with his Ultramarines in this 650-ish point battle in our local Warhammer store, but oh boy that was fun! #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #tau #ultramarines
Re-#introduction now I’m a Dice.Camper!
I’m a relapsed #Miniatures #Hobbyist who’s gone from hating #Painting to absolutely loving it.
Mostly tooting about #Warhammer, #TheOldWorld, #Mordheim, and #KillTeam.
I boost lots of #hobby stuff (taps Alt text boiler plate caveat in the bio) and generally love a hobby natter.
Also a #DND player. I’m your type-cast chaos -monkey of the group. Walking accidental TPK.
I know some of you are probably tired of seeing this one by now, but I have to celebrate: I won Gold in the Standard Level at MPO Online 2024! This is huge for me, especially since I also tried last year but didn't get anything. Thank you @cultofpaint!

Nov12th24: I’m indecisive: should I add a white scar edge highlight overall? I’m worried it would be too pronounced and ruin the «worn look», but I suppose I could thin it down. This is 3 coats of corax (the odd panel in mechanicus standard for variation), soulblight all over, then thin lines of agrax in recesses. Anyway, except for detailing on the roof behind the turret, underneath and on the drone ports, this is done. #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #tau
Nov 5th 24: Some shade work and the burst cannons. Also started on the crewman. And in parallell I finally finished two drones belonging to the strike team that I had postponed for too long. The ultramarines intercessors watching in the background are the 11yo’s. #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #tau
Oct 31st 24: I have some shading and details to do, but the Vior’la hammerhead is coming along nicely. No rush. The ghostkeel is supervising the progress. #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #tau
Oct 27th 24: Slow progress on the hammerhead. But that’s also progress. #Warhammer40k #wh40k #MiniaturePainting #PaintingWarhammer #Warhammer #tau
May 8th 24: One down, nine to go! The rest are primed though, and two more are in progress. #Tau #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #Warhammer #PaintingWarhammer
April 16th 24: There! #Tau Cadre Fireblade finished, shown here with his painted buddies. Next project should be getting his strike team past the priming stage, so he can finally make use of that volley fire ability. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #Warhammer #PaintingWarhammer
