Really great work!!! It looks amazing.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[JTSleep]

Just here to give likes like a mad man. Because you deserve them all.

 

[Warden]

Thanks all! And @JTSleep for the pile of likes!

...also finished some Castellax robots to add some variety to my heresy force. They are Iron Hands after all, so they definitely have a bunch of robots lying around in the legion storage lockers.

Spoiler: Legion Castellax

They are dreadnought-base sized, nice to have some more walkers walking around. Need to work on some other dreadnoughts!

Had fun taking pictures of my legion Esoterist!

Spoiler: Legion Esoterist

I also was experimenting using different color lights to take photos, came out pretty cool!

Spoiler: the war room

Lore for this guy us he is a secret Alpha Legion infiltrator who has gained the ear of the warband's Iron Father. Exactly how his manipulations will bear fruit remain yet to be seen...

Very cool pictures!

 

[Warden]

Wow its the last day of the year over here in Minnesota, hard to believe as 2025 was both tough and flew by.

Very happy with my hobby progress, I painted a lot of stuff that I had lying around from 2024, and bought a bunch of new stuff at Adepticon this year (that I still have to work through!).





In total I painted 245 minis and pieces of terrain. Didn't photograph the terrain this year (and forgot one infinity robot ) but the minis look great!

Projects included:

• Infinity Nomads/Xmen, Aleph, and Haqqislam
• Turnip28 Frostgrave Warband
• War of the False Primarch Flesh Eaters, Jade Talons, Iron Guard, and some Imperial Guard
• Necromunda Ice Squats
• 30k Sons of Medusa/Harbingers of Taelus

The game matt is one of my Christmas presents very cool cyberpunk-Infinity game matt.


Lots of proto-Sons of Medusa for 30k this year:

Spoiler

Many more projects- Turnip28, Infinity, and War of the False Primarch.

Spoiler

The Flesh Eaters were one of the coolest things I worked on this year, really enjoyed weathering these guys.



And my growing Infinity Nomads/X-Men force, of which I have plans to paint more this upcoming year.

I also got these two Maghariba Guards completed, after having them sitting in my pile of shame for two years. Glad they are done, and I have been enjoying taking them to games!

Spoiler

Bonus photo of some overly-photogenic Ice Squats!:

Glad to have made it this far.

These pictures mean a lot to me this year as even though the past few weeks (today in particular) have been challenging, I decided to rope by 6-year-old along with helping me photograph these minis this year. She was SUPER excited and came over to help me line them all up, then grabbed her ipad to take pictures. And you know what?! Some of the picture she took turned out better than mine! A bunch of the ones I posted above were hers, along with this last one. She did a great job, I hope we can hobby or game more together in the future.



While the entire family has been battered down by Nurgle in the last two weeks of the year, here is to a good 2026!

 

[Warden]

Oh yeah and before I forget, here were the last minis I painted in 2025, some Infinity nomads!

Mr. Sinister (converted Posthuman to use as an HVT):

Meteor Zond, one of my favorite minis of the year:

And last mini for 2025, a tiny Tinbot in the fashion of my favorite X-Man:

[Warden]

Haven't painted much this year so far but I am starting to get going again.

Painted up this overseer for my Warcrow Red Caps:



Going with a beach-themed basing scheme for these guys, aiming on making some terrain as well!

 

[Imrahil]

Lovely work. I very much like the dark toned skin and the vibrant red contrast.
Good detail work.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[Killer Angel]

Good detail work.

even the nails!

 

[Warden]

Thanks so much! Got a few more red caps to paint, but I finished a few infinity minis in the meantime.

Cyclops- made from an Infinity Interventor Hacker-

Spoiler: Cyclops pics

Entire Interventor unit, along with Rogue previously painted, and some Fastpanda deployables:

Jean Gray, made from character hacker/engineer Zoe, also from the Nomads range:

Spoiler: Jean Gray pics

...and here is a Sentinel, inspired by the Mystique-Sentinnels from the X-Men Days of Future Past movie. Made from an Infinity Hollowmen model (who have some truly terrifying in-game lore:

Spoiler: Sentinel- back

 

[Warden]

And the other three X-men/infinity minis I painted.

Deadpool- not technically an x-man but it was a good use of the Senor Massacre mini:

Spoiler: Deadpool

Gambit- made from the newer Father Lucian Sforza mini and a head taken from the Aristeia Maximus mini... his head is way too big but it matches the look I was going for

Spoiler: Gambit

Gambit and Deadpool:

And lastly an obscure x-men named Xorn. Painted using a mini from the Yu Jing line, really wanted a few more crazy koala deployables.

Spoiler: Xorn and Koalas

All six recent minis:

 

[JTSleep]

All are nicely painted and in first look, I would have not guessed they are not official x-men, Great job.

Xorn gives me strong Garrus Vakarian vibe

 

[Killer Angel]

And lastly an obscure x-men named Xorn.

i'd say your work really does him justice.

Thanks! @JTSleep that alien is not far off from the artwork I used as a reference photo!:




++++++++++++++

Happy Valentines Day fellow lizards, yesterday was quite production over here. I got some work done on some tiki-inspired terrain for my Warcrow Red Caps!

Spoiler: WIP Red Cap Tiki Terrain

Made a few pieces of palm tree and scatter terrain. Pre painting:



After adding sand and painting:



Plus last night I used the giant wad of play-doh my toddler left on the floor and used it to throw these two volcanoes together.



Obviously not painted yet but since yesterday they have cracked a bit, will see if this idea still works or if I need to sub in a new material for the shell.

The interior is rolled up aluminum foil on a cardboard sheet base.

Here are some completed photos of the palm trees:



And the tiki-idol heads inspired by the red caps colors:



And my favorite- the tiki sign!!!



Of course I spelt Mordheim wrong

 

[Warden]

Finished a few more red caps last weekend for Warcrow!

Stompers with their stilts-

Spoiler: Red Cap Stompers

And another small piece of terrain, a sweating-skull

Red Cap Bugbowls- who seem very acrobatic and are using each other to launch across the battlefield-

Spoiler: Red Cap Bugbowls

I added some tiny marine-life elements to "beach" up their bases a bit more. Best $1.49 I ever spent at an arts and crafts store

And three (technically nine) Gobblers, little slingshot buggers-

Spoiler: Red Cap Gobblers

The skull-rock stack is another new terrain piece.

Very lovely work!! I dig the beach bases very much.
The contrast of the light sand and water with the dark red and black makes them really stand out.

Great work

Grrr, !mrahil

Really nice paintjob.
