Hobby Summary: November 2025

This month the summary comes with quite a big delay. I had quite a lot stuff to attend to, so we end up with a November summary that is late by around 6 days. Could be worse, especially that November itself was quite a good month in terms of hobby related stuff, meaning that I have painted quite a lot of miniatures, including finally some big beasties! I have also made an Instragram account as a place to post photos of miniatures (including WIPs) and possibly to get to more people!

Finished: Screamer-Killer

The Screamer-Killer landed on my painting desk (and I just noticed that I gave him the wrong background... well, it is what it is, I guess). It's one of the big beasties in the Leviathan box and the penultimate left for me to paint. Great, characterful model, a little bit funny as with the carapace placed on his head he looks bald. I used the same scheme as for my other tyranid models, available here.

Finished: Death Commando

 

Another addition to my Heretic Legions warband. I decided that units I see as elite will not have corroded armour, so no rust on this guy!

The Scheme

1. Slapchop underpainting
2. Heavy Metal on the armour and claws
3. Runelord Brass on some embellishments on the armour
4. Steel on the chainmail
5. Shamrock Green on the vials and tubes
6. Grey Seer on the flesh
7. Targor Rageshade on the flesh

Finished: Sha'dar Hunters and Arthromite Spinewyrms

 

After a very long break from Necromunda models I painted a set of melee specialists for the Ash Waste Nomads and their pets. I really like the sculpts and the fact that the parts go together far better than the box for the core "gang".

The scheme is mostly the same as for my other Nomad miniatures. I decided to use pink underpainting for the orange masks and I think it works quite well with Nuclear Orange. The new colours used were Ruddy Fur on the bug carapace armour on each warrior, Shamrock Green for the poison globes and Gore-grunta Furs for the leather straps. As for the spinewyrms, they were slapchopped, and then I used Dusk Red on the carapace, Bony Matter on the "underbelly", Sceleton Horde on the skulls on two of the bases, Basilicanym Grey on the rocks, Ratling Grime on the legs and Ahriman Blue on the eyes.

Finished: Warwolf

 The Warwolf charges in! Another model to reinforce my warband. I really love the design and now I finally have a painted mini.

The Scheme:

Slapchop underpainting

1. Dirt Spatter (or another light brown) on the armour
2. Ryza Rust stippling on the armour
3. Leadbelcher drybrush on the armour and teeth
4. Grey Seer on the flesh
5. Gulliman Flesh on the flesh
6. Ratling Grime on the fur
7. Black Templar on the claws and tubes
8. Skeleton Horde on the spine
9. Blood for the Blood God on the "snout"
10. Leadbelcher + Strong Tone on the construction element
11. Basilicanum Grey on the stones
12. Skeleton Horde for the skulls

Finished: Savage Orcs/Savage Orruks

 

One of the projects started in Orctober 2025, a 20 orc strong unit of dual-wielding savage orcs, bought when I learned that they are removing them from AoS and I knew I wanted them for The Old World.

The Models

Quite nice to build, many options for different heads and weapons, poses more dynamic than the older sculpts.

The Scheme

1. Slapchop underpainting
2. Militarum Green for the skin
3. Skeleton Horde for the bones
4. Gore-grunta Fur for the leather elements, straps and furs
5. Terradon Turquoise for the scales
6. Wyldwood for the wood
7. Basilicanum Grey for the stones
8. Blood Angels Red for the topknots
9. Volupus Pink for the tongues
10. Ushabti Bone/Ivory for the teeth
11. Mephiston Red for the eyes
12. Base: A mixture of electrostatic grass and old "basing materials"

Finished: Chorister

 Small reinforcement for my Trench Crusade has arrived. This model is the Chorister for Heretic Legions.

The Scheme

1. Slapchop underpainting
2. Occultist Cloak for the robe
3. Skeleton Horde for the ropes and straps
4. Targor Rageshade for the skin
5. Goreg-runta Fur for the hair
6. Blood for the Blood God for the blood
7. Tainted Gold for the crosses and other ornamentation, including the hilt of the dagger
8. Leadbelcher for the blade of the dagger
9. Strong Tone on all the metal elements
