Storm Warning

Do you know what happens to a model when it's mounted on a fragile strip of lightning?

The same thing that happens to everything else.

Low-Key Finished

 The Prince of Lies! (there's a lot of it about, apparently)

Cyke!

 The X-Men's first field leader, making indoor sunglasses cool since 1963.

I Dream Of Jean Grey

 Painted up in less time than she ruled as Queen of England!

Termagaunts of Endearment: Astra Militarum vs Tyranids

It's the second game in the Jimulthuan Quadrant Campaign. The Imperium is under assault by Xenos - will Rylstone fall?

The Greatest Showman

 The original yellow costume. Eat your heart out, Bananaman.

Get Off My Land...Raider!: Ultramarines vs Death Guard

Kraken recently posted about starting up a new campaign and Stylus and I (Pootle) are kicking things off, harking back to 8th edition with my Ultramarines trying to kick the Death Guard off my home planet of Bagot Prime.

A Statement of My Intent

A body of water, left still, inevitably rots. 

Schmeeroquest

 Bits box!

Unglaublich!

 With a whiff of brimstone, he's here!

I'm Loving Angel Instead

Have no fear - Captain Hula-Hoop is here!

The Iceman Drybrusheth

 I'll admit it: this one felt like cheating.

Archangel Fails

 When a regular angel isn't enough, it's time for an upgrade.

Timecop

 In the grim darkness of the far future, Jheri curls are still in fashion.

Just let your soul glow.

The Jimulthuan Quadrant - Campaign Rules

 Map campaign ahoy - I've got three players invested. Here is the lie of the land at the start of the campaign and how we're going to play it. 

Sham Pains

This post was supposed to be about the year ahead, rather than the year behind. While there's still time in January, time to set myself some hobby goals!

What's New, Shadowcat?

Next up for the X-Men: the original teenage sidekick with the potty mouth:

Fire on my Position: Astra Militarum vs Adeptus Custodes

 I’m off the mark for 40k games in 2026!

Psylocke, Stock and Barrel

A superhero pun isn't unusual, but naming a character Psylocke because her powers affect the psyche takes the biscuit.

Ultimate Encounter: Just The Parker Luck

"Can the arachnid anarchist sink any lower? Now he's interrupting a peaceful hostage situation to harass innocent scientists, lion tamers and close-up magic enthusiasts. Spider-Man is a MENACE!"

Just another day in the life of Peter Parker - rescue Spider-Convention attendees from the clutches of the Sinister Six. And take a couple of exciting photos for Robbie, because he needs to make rent.

X Marks The Spot

The X-Men journey starts from the beginning!

Make it so!

Clowning around

 

This has been an absolutely amazing project: back in 1991 a friend left the hobby and gave me his box of original lead Harlequins. I've been eyeing them occasionally since getting back into the hobby but finally plucked up the courage to paint them...and (decided to try to match the original box art too.

New Year's Resolve

 Happy 2026!
