Not much new to show today. Trying to catch up on chores after **the migraine** yesterday. However, I did pick up a little light box and I think it makes a big difference. So here are some old favourites. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #wepaintminis #nerdlings #miniaturepainter #miniatures #pic

WIP! To answer the question of whats next: A troll. Unexpected, I know. The Crud Creek Nosepickers lost both trolls to a “aesthetics trade” with other teams, and I’ve replaced them with these Battle For Skull Pass trolls. One now, one later. Skin’s done. Bone too.

New storage trays for the minis! I have trays that sit in the display shelves that are easy to take out when you need the team. But, they weren’t well build or designed. They worked but models often fell out down to the floor. And kinda looked bad. These new ones? Magnetic! Nice looking! 10/10.

The final knight says good night as the last drop dries on this knight thrower! I kind of rushed him. Mostly because I don’t really like the sculpt. But can’t love em all I guess. That’s the last player, now just the coin! #bloodbowl #warhammer #paintslam226 #wepaintminis #nerdlings

And the 2003 Daemonhunters Sage / Scribe (700503) is now finished! Really fun doing this guy, and setting up his little study. I love miniatures that arent just Sgt Max Fightmaster and are little side characters. #warhammer #40K #wepaintminis #nerdlings #paintslam2026 #40k #warhammer40k

ANOTHER NIGHT ANOTHER KNIGHT. This Blitzer is all finished up! Still one of my favourite blood bowl poses. Good shit on these two. One knight left then the team is done! #bloodbowl #warhammer #warhammercommunity #wepaintminis #paintslam2026 #nerdlings #miniatures #minis #painting

WIP! Also first day ever with a wet palette. Knight Blitzer coming along! Cloth and leather done. Metallics tomorrow! The wet palette is an interesting beast, and it’s going to take some serious learning and trial and error. Undoing 30 years of dry palette will take practice. A lot of it.

Doesn’t help every tutorial is bad at explaining. “Then add water” YES BUT HOW MUCH “but don’t add too much”. HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH. Just take these instructions that came with it. Just run it under your spigot for undetermined time and volume.

The last Linesquire has been completed! It’s a holiday today in Canada, so I was able to spend lots and lots of time at the desk. Just two knights and we’re outta here! #bloodbowl #warhammer #wepaintminis #paintslam2026 #nerdlings #bretonnia #theoldworld #oldworld

WIP! Ya ever get one of Those Days. The sky is grey, the migraine is mighty, and the energy levels are 1/10? Where you feel exhausted and grumpy and expressy depressy? Like you’re barely moving through the day and everything you try to accomplish comes out wrong? Here’s some base coats on a shelf

My hot take no one asked for: The Legion of the Damned minis would be so much cooler if we weren't being beaten over the head every day by Space Marines. They just have zero impact on me because they just go into the "oh look, more space marines" bucket.

I’m calling 700503 Sage complete*! Real fun to paint in parts, the head and big ol’ tummy were great. And a lot of little details like the metallic hand. Very cool 2003 little lad, and glad he’s part of the crew! #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40K #wepaintminis #nerdlings #paintslam2026

WIP! Been a weirdly busy weekend with a fair number of side quests. As such I’ve had basically no brush time, and what I have had I’ve been using to design the display base and dial in some 3D printed parts for the sage/scribe. Going to actually try to finish the model tomorrow. Base next weekend.
