There are a lot of PixelFed instances, this might get complicated.

I'd ask for https://miniature.photography but I'm one of only a dozen or so people who post there.

Little Rhino's Big Adventure (miniature.photography)

Someone asked about how the backdrop book looked with epic scale minis so I did a fun little photo shoot. I only have the one rhino at that scale and only the one bit of terrain to pose it on.

These books and some new ones are on Kickstarter for another day or so:

Aeldari Rangers

Testing out a new Lemmy client instead of cross-posting right from PixelFed.

One of my goals for this year is to finish more of the projects I left in various states previously. Since I am about to do some Aeldari Kill Teams I grabbed the Rangers off the shelf where they had been assembled, primed, and only got as far as the yellow earlier.

After these guys I started to do combo bone/black weapons because it seemed to dull this way. I might retouch the faces later, "rosy" ended up just "pinky".

Fun dynamic poses and it feels nice to finish them up after a long delay.

Congratulations! That Ork really is something else!

Thanks for hosting this. It was a lot of fun to have something specific to paint for.

Amazing! It looks so incredibly happy to be krumpin that you just can't help but feel happy too.

For anyone in the US, at least, it finally showed as oh stock at Barnes and Noble. Lot of great sculpts in there.

Sacresant Superior for your consideration.

I wasn't as sure about how "40k" these guys would look back when they were previewed but I think they ended up firing the aesthetic just right. Scrap tech, plenty of chaos, begging for some grim dark colorations.

As soon as I click on a link I get rate limited. That may need to get adjusted.

The Next Big Project Arrived (miniature.photography)

I didn't receive a tracking number or anything so it was a wonderful surprise to see the new Kingdom Death: Monster expansion arrived today! This is a lot to unpack, time to get ready for some mental trauma.

Home stretch! Last guy from this half of the box.

The later you make this thread the more progress we've had time to make! Creates the illusion that I'm moving at a faster pace.

Von Ryan's Leapers and Barbgaunts. I'm not as pleased with the yellow-on-purple guns this time as I was with that scheme on the Termagants. May need to revisit that later.

Also need to find a good neon tufts to help the bases give a better sense of space like @shepherd@kbin.social suggested.

C&C welcome!

Testing out some markup to share images from pixelfed:

Rounding out the five from the Combat Patrol. Not having to care about which weapon variant they use was very freeing.

C&C welcome!

They will need some toxic slime on the bases to really sell it.

C&C welcome!

Some other channels worth mentioning: Mediocre Hobbies Darcy Bono

I'm doing more Tyranids this week (batch 2 from Leviathan): And this big guy if I need a pallette cleanser:

Doomstalker (lemmy.world)

Finished the last piece for the new Necron combat patrol right before picking up Leviathan.

On to some Tyranids next!

Minis are from Heresy Lab. C&C welcome.

With the rules for the new Combat Patrols dropping today (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/06/20/free-combat-patrol-rule-downloads-let-you-fight-fast-balanced-skirmishes-in-the-new40k/) I decided to check whether I ever finished a full patrol worth of a given faction.

Blood Angels is close so I primed their Impulsor to get that done.

Necrons only need the Doomstalker so that might not be too bad either.
