Mid-life Crisis

Painting Mini's, chatting lore and having a virtual breakdown. This is me rediscovering 40K after a 20 year hiatus that I like to think of as my age of strife!

#hobbystreak day 22. Still working on #mortarion. Today focused on painting all the bones in the wings and tided up a few other details. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #Warmongers #WIP #deathguard #PaintingWarhammer #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures

#hobbystreak 21. Not posted the last few days progress on #martarion. Started the base coats down on silence and lantern, shaded grenades and got the tinting on the wings I'm happy with. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #Warmongers #wip #wepaintminis #PaintingWarhammer

#hobbystreak day 15. Back to Morty again. Finished the pale cloth and blue mist and made a start on the pipes and tubes. 1 day of highlights and it should be on to the arms. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #Warmongers #wip #PaintingWarhammer #wepaintminis #paintingminiatures

#hobbystreak day 8. Loving #mortarion my biggest painting challenge todate. More work on the cloak with base, resess wash, first highlights and my first attempt at wet blending on the hood! #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #Warmongers #wip #PaintingWarhammer #wepaintminis

[Mid-life Crisis @MLC_40k]

#hobbystreak day 7. Finished highlighting the metallic's on the back and attached #mortarion head, tried to hide the gap 'tween hood & cape with milliput. Also realised I've broken off a head spike 😠 #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #Warmongers #wip #wepaintminis #deathguard

[Mid-life Crisis @MLC_40k]

#hobbystreak day 6. Another #mortarion #wip update. Metallic's on the re-breather and backpack added and grimed up. Noticed more flesh where the wings attach so I know what I'm doing next lol. #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #Warmongers #paintingminiatures #deathguard

[Mid-life Crisis @MLC_40k]

#hobbystreak day 5. Fleshy bits round the shoulders, loin cloth and face all now done. #mortarion is starting to come togeather! #warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #Warmongers #PaintingWarhammer #wepaintminis #deathguard #paintingminiatures #WIP

#hobbystreak day 1. Had time off to focus on my mental health. Hobbying helps, social media doesn't! Anyway though I'd kick off 2023 with a bang and started on the base for 40k #mortarion. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #warmongers #PaintingWarhammer #wepaintminis #deathguard

[Mid-life Crisis @MLC_40k]

#hobbystreak 118 and 119. Forgot to post yesterday, but all skulls now highlighted and the face is looking grizzled with the sneer that only one of the 3rd legion can pull off. #warhammer40k #warhammer30k #WarhammerCommunity #wip #warmongers #paintingminiatures #horusheresy

[Mid-life Crisis @MLC_40k]

#hobbystreak 117. Spent more time highlighting the cloak and loin cloth. Tried some new techniques to get a warn threadbare look. Really happy with how it turned out. #warhammer40k #warhammer30k #WarhammerCommunity #warmongers #wip #horusheresy #PaintingWarhammer
