Converted a Rotter for the #Thrudball legacy team! So sad I cannot join in the raffle this Year because I'm the organiser. I love nurgle and have never got enough nurgle teams

Anyway it seemed logical that this one needed elf arms... Will figure out a solution for the wonky shoulder, I think

Nurgle rotter holding the ball in an elf arm while balling the fist of his other elf arm.

He's one ugly madafaka.

Cleaned the paint gunk off #ThrudTheBarbarian for the #Thrudball #charity auction.

Then more biostrip, and cleaned the gunk off him again.

And then I did it again but then with my electric toothbrush fffff!

Then varnished, primed green and started on the skin.

Thrud the Barbarian, beefcake sans pareil

@warhammercommunity Aaaand it's done. #PaintingMiniatures #BloodBowl #OnTheBall #SnotlingTeam

a drooling pair of a river troll and a snotling. Greenskinned both, one has consumed shrooms and the other one is chewing on a snotling

right upper view of the troll, scratching his head and ignoring the snotling that's over his shoulder pointing where to go next.

close up of the face, now with the real drooling of the troll.

back shot of the scales, the human team helmet used as an elbow pad,, and the compulsory Blood Bowl sock.

@siquis @warhammercommunity closep ups

#PaintingMiniatures #BloodBowl #OnTheBall #SnotlingTeam @warhammercommunity

close up of the regulatory sock on the troll. YOu can see half butt, and the squatted leg. Skin has warts and spots. There's a dry leave on the mud.

Back shot: Leather strap on his back, and a troll but. Sorry, yeah, that's the last troll butt picture. I promise

detail of the shoulder pad (sadly, there are lots of voxel lines in the area next to the snotling foot. Needs varnish so isn't that reflective anymore.

Close up of the face and the wood plank. You can see the half-eaten snotling in his hand.

@siquis @warhammercommunity The little guy became one of my most liked post on Mastodon, so I owe you the Troll #wip pictures (I'll try to finish it today).

#PaintingMiniatures #BloodBowl #OnTheBall #SnotlingTeam @warhammercommunity

Silly troll scratching his own head while a little snotling climbs to his shoulder and points forward. He's chewing another snotling's head (he was about to throw a team mate but got hundry). He's on a muddy base.

Scales are turquoise while his skin is olive green. Has a leather strap with a hanging wood sign (for the team number). armour is black with orange spikes.

The test models for my friend's Snotling team. Sculpt by Brutefun (3d printed resin) on a black methacrylate base. Dry leaves (seeds) gently provided by @siquis. Eldar Farseer for scale (I had no bananas). #PaintingMiniatures #BloodBowl #OnTheBall #SnotlingTeam @warhammercommunity

Snotling looking at his own hand because he's been chewing a strange mushroom, while drooling and looking dazed. Wears an orange cap and tabard, and a dark grey shoulderpad. He's on a brown muddy base with some puddles and dry leaves.

The same snotling over the touchdown zone (blue and white squares). From this angle the face, the gradient on the nose, or the puddles can be seen better).

For scale purposes: the snotling is reaching with his hand to a pointing Eldar Farseer (15mm). The eldar is a head taller.

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.

Medieval marginalia figures in white metal, all painted to resemble drawings from the margins of manuscripts. They're all set on bases with flowers. There are weirdos such as Smiling Squatting Horned Demon With Befuddled Face On His Tummy, or Happy Bearded Face With Bear Ears Purse On Disembodied Legs, or Massive Head With On Backwards Hooved Legs With Dog Head On Top And Hand Nose Holding Sword, or Belligerent Dog With Shield And Spear Riding Bunny That's Not Understanding The Dog's Orders, or my favourite Half Fox With Crowned Human Skull Head

Battle Masters ogre with Mongolian helmet and a massive shoulder and belly plate. He is waving about giant spiked mace and wearing and orange shirt and black trousers

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.

A bunch of my spirit animals. One of them is a snail's shell with an old man's head sticking out being ridden by a bunny with a spear and a shield. That's it today – that's today's Spirit Animal. In the background you can see a jar of citadel Traders contrast suffering from early ring smeg.

Updated a #BloodBowl excel roster I had lying around for my nerds and airbrushed + oil washed these stupid models for the school #WarhammerAlliance.

Lots of stuff for other people. But I'm the kind of person who gets happy from sharing hobby

Some sort of space Wasp with helmet and gun.

Mostly painted

Gun is turquoise metallic; body greenish gold; wings orange. All washed with a heavy purple oil wash

Nest of space wasps. Potato cam made a fuckery of it by making it too purple

Excel sheet with many many formulas to simplify team management and bookkeeping

I'm not going to start any more new projects until I've cleared all the unstarted or stalled projects on my hobby desk, and you're my witnesses!

First, finished my easy and lazy chaos marauders for #Mordheim and shelved them; then I ripped my stalled #FediPaint undead from their bases for another dunk in stripper; then dotted boils on my nurgle cheerleader; finally brushed varnish on my marginalia models.

A bunch of lazily painted chaos marauders ready to terrorize people in mordheim

A handful of undead in various stages of unpaintedness, but quite a bit unfinished and not bringing me joy!

A nurgle plague bearer with a triple flute and a flag showing his team allegiance. His boils look very popping with their greenish-yellow heads!

Finalised my #SquadChaos secret Santa #BloodBowl giant. He will be heading over to West Country England with an insane amount of sprinkle type sandwich toppings. The person to receive it likes his continental treats and has two young kids, so they're going to have a lot of nice stuff!

Blood bowl giant

He's a really dumb feller wearing rusty paldron on his shoulder and something that looks like some heavy metal and a blue shield on his left arm and his left wrist he's got a giant piece of rusty chain connected to a manacle. He's scratching his head with his right hand and looking much confused. He's wearing only what looks to be a sort of kilt made of bits of cloth crude leak stitched together but it's not doing a great job as his butt crack is showing. He's got a big sack and a beer casket hanging from his belt on his right hip. He's walking in the field of Highland flowers and grasses

School #WarhammerAlliance and I was the only staff member there because of illness. Taught one student how to use the #airbrush and played aa game of #BloodBowl against another.

My all orc lineman against overpowered necro. The kid has played chess a lot when he was younger so he saw opportunities aplenty

Necromantic horror versus orcs and apparently there was a bit of a pitch invasion.

Final night of the second rookie #BloodBowl7s league.

I sent in my halflings to get bullied some more, and then I tallied the scores and handed out the trophies and awards.

Winners in alt text.

Also, never make anyone go home empty-handed! Many (16) people have had much fun in 7 games each and I'm happy they enjoyed what I had to offer and organised.

The winners

Laurens with Paper Armour;
Wooden Spoon for Patrick;
Fan favourite (most fouls) for Erica, who got a boot trophy;
Alex with Favoured of Khorne (most casualties) even though he brought dorfs and should be murdered in his sleep, who got a rat ogre;
Michiel with favoured of Nuffle, tournament winner, who got a khemri team;
Captain Christmas the halfling hero, a ball token, and a plexiglass trophy in the shape of a seeblatt with a crown and 'mid table royalty' etched into it

Skaven vs haflings, which did not end Well for the latter, and halflings vs amazons which did work well

#hobbystreak day 1085

Took fellow #history and #art nerd Bob to the #DrentsMuseum. They are having an exhibition of gold from #Dacia / #Romania which is impressive, but the #museum itself is top notch too!

Bob taught me the game Steal Borrow Burn, where in every room or exhibition section you decide which belongs in which category if you could. Can 10/10 recommend but ignore the weird looks people will give you.

Also played #DungeonBowl

School Warhammer Alliance again today - this evening I started on the necromantic horror #bloodbowl team. Students decided for me that this Wraith would have to be a blue bedsheet with red hearts.

Also lovely to see a new attendee, who is lonely and struggling to make friends because of being #ActuallyAutistic, make connections and have a good evening. I love this.

Well, here’s the first test model done. A second edition dwarf lineman for my #OldWorldAlliance #BloodBowl project.

The team will be taking the infamous Dwarf team name “Durum’s Destroyers” because reasons.

For those worried about the nostalgia factor, got you covered:

Black primer.
Bright colours.
Black underline.
Green goblin base rim.
Badass AF.

Next one will be a human catcher (he’s already primed). #OnTheBall

A dwarf player miniature over a grass field with 2 red block dice next to him, with a light blue background. The uniform is black with yellow stripe and orange protections. He SMOL but he PROTECTS.
