Yeah, I did alright this year.
Here's to:
- more painted minis and less unpainted plastic.
- more games played.
- more exciting new releases.
- still being less harsh on myself (working on that, still.)
See ya, 2023. ✌🏻
Because over on instagram it's now a social media crime for hobby ladies to pose with their models. But just thought I'd let you know I am the lady that paints these disgusting Death Guard the way I do.

Me opening up to my team today.
Me - "So I'm a massive nerd...I'm really into Warhammer"
Their reaction - "oh WOW! THAT'S AMAZING!"
That gave me a real happy boost 😊

I think I've found my new favourite method of painting aged bronze. Both colours drybrushed/buffed on with a rounded Artis Opus series D style drybrush over a black base.

To the delightful arseholes that shouted at me in unsolicited private messages because I got a box and called me a GW fangirl - you're fucking welcome.

another wonderful miniature crossed off my "always-wanted-to-paint" list! An unusual colour scheme for an army usually associated with colour but I am happy I experimented with this :)

Watched a Youtube tutorial on how to paint marble effect earlier and it got me thinking about a new theme I now want to try on a Stormcast Eternal themed around the Japanese art/process of Kintsugi/Kintsukuroi which is the repair of ceramics using lacquer mixed with gold
When I don't feel so great about my hobby I always get a bit insecure about doing stuff like this and hate bigging up myself so.. *deep breath*

Hi, I'm Chrissie. I predominantly a miniature painter who paints a bit of... Everything I guess? 😅
I bought Boba Fett back in 2020 as a lockdown project and it took me 3 years to have the courage to paint my favourite character from the Star Wars Universe.
So in celebration of 40 years of Return of the Jedi, here's Boba Fett before he ended up in the Sarlacc.

If we're going to be bigging up women hobbyists on our "special day" today, yknow what else I would love to see happen?
More women hobbyists taking part in tournaments or general play events.
More women hobbyists entering, placing and winning painting competitions.
White Dwarf 500 is on general sale today. A jam packed special issue.
For me, seeing the Freeguild Cavalier Marshall I painted as part of

Progress on my Goth Starpriest. Need to highlight his scales on his back and his skulls but his skin I'm super happy with. Feathers soon! I'm so pleased how this is shaping up 😊

Always have had a soft spot for Thousand Sons. When Ahriman's Heresy sculpt became available again I grabbed the chance to get it.
We're calling this the very messy WIP phase. Once the layers of red ink are done I can start fixing the gold & everything else.
#Warhammercommunity
In very exciting news, my permanent hobby room setup was installed today 💚
For those wondering - kitchen units without the feet and 2 worktops were what were used here. LOTS of storage and at some point I'll be getting some paint racks built!
A terrifying trio of Leapers and Lictors!
Huge thanks to

who sent me the new Tyranid range and oh my days these are some beautiful sculpts 😍 Hive Fleet Yggdrasil evolved some sneaky assassins 🌳

Absolutely loving the Kaiju-esque aesthetic of this big Tyranid beauty.
Finished up my Norn Emissary in a couple of nights after being sat partially painted for so long.

Here's to more Warhammer in 2023. Play more games, learn at least another game system and paint more armies/warbands.
Here's to looking after myself better both physically and mentally; and being less harsh towards myself.
See ya, 2022. ✌🏻
Balloon day glow up ✨🎈🎂 temporary pink ends again because why not? Also because I did a colour match standard method a while back, here's the contrast method. (FYI I did not use paint to dye my hair 😂)
Thanks for all the messages I've had today so far 🙂
Do not need your opinions on this, but this afternoon I got my first vaccine (Pfizer) and it's the first time in 14 months I could finally see light at the end of the tunnel.
Immensely proud of my Knight-Questor making it not only onto Hobby Roundup this week but first feature too! Really pushed myself with this mini and absolutely loved painting him.
Thank you again

Yesterday I accidentally went full nerd on my two new recruits to my team...only to discover today one of them treated himself to some new Warhammer last payday and now we're showing off models to each other 🥹
Leviathan has landed.
Massive thank you to Games Workshop for sending me an advance copy of this amazing boxset. 😊
Keep your eyes peeled as I'll have painted models from this box SOOOON!

After a rough few days, I put a brave face on today. I might not feel the greatest, or that I'm deserving of niceness and the people I call my friends, but I appreciate you all.
Tomorrow will be better. And I promise I'm geniunely smiling. Promise.
Now, I'll get back to painting.
It's been a varied year - Underworlds Warbands, statement models, neon ghosts, actually enjoying army painting/batch painting and almost finishing painting an army and then starting a new one!
Here's to more army painting & warband painting and more in '23 🥳

Can I make it 24 hours without someone telling me my Sororitas or my Tyranids are Dark Angels colours when they very clearly are not and y'know, other green armies are available? 🙃
Getting real tedious now, internet 🥲
I love Warhammer me.
I love the painting, playing the games and generally the good in the community negates the bad stuff that's happened in the past.
Keep being awesome

Finally revisiting some Drukhari after what feels like forever since I last painted one. Cheeky WIP of my kitbashed madame Sybarite (Kabalite squad leader). I'm hoping to actually get her done in a few days rather than weeks 😂

Being half Chinese, it has only dawned on me this morning that my (Chinese) mother and (White) father have never ate my chinese cooking and now I'm a little nervous because I'm hosting a Chinese New Year dinner today for them. I AM NERVOUS 🙃
I didn't originally want to get caught up in this but just so you are aware, I am now.
We know you're out there. Kindly piss off back to whatever primordial soup you've grown out of.
@ICantThinkEm
To add, and i have Emma's permission, i was also targeted by this sick individual. I am half chinese.
If you're out there and you've created an account purely to be a shit because you have a weird fanatical worship for someone, fuck off..
I am absolutely exhausted after today's AWESOME visit at Warhammer World meet up today. After so long its been great to do these kinda things again!
I am sorry I didn't get to speak to everyone properly but looked like we all had an awesome day and got to meet loads of peeps!
Played Blood Bowl for the very first time tonight with my Lizardmen against Black Orks.
Lost 2-1 on Touchdowns.
I don't care if this makes me sound like some kinda trend chaser or "cos all the cool kids are playing it" but...
....I love Blood Bowl.
Games Workshop sent me the rest of the Cities of Sigmar release dropping on pre order today so I painted up the Command Corp and Fusil Major in my existing Greywater Fastness scheme
Thanks again

Monday Morning Mortarion update - smooshed a transparent iridescent gold acrylic ink I bought recently over all the lighter areas of the wings, lightly blending out to the green.

Well he was a little fun 2 day paint jobby. Mostly contrast with some ivory/sunny skin tone highlight.
And he is definitely not a trap...(getting in first before I get a million replies in this fashion)

Knight-Zephyros Neve Blacktalon is finished! Took me 2 years to finally have the courage and ability to paint her to how I wanted :) she's not part of my Stormhost but I've added nods of colour here and there as you can see!
