Happy New Year! First update of 2025

This is the first update of 2025, and I have finished a few models, and will try to take pictures of them in a couple of days and then I will post them here.

I have continued to work on the models from 2024, and I managed to finish several of them.

Trugg the Troggoth King is painted up, and I have glued him (it?) onto the base. I need to do the basing, and then I can call him done. He is painted like the Dankhold Troggoths, and I am quite happy with how he turned out. I will take one last look after I have done the base, just to make sure that there isn't too many colors that have splotched over to other areas where they shouldn't be. Then pictures will be taken.

The Dankhold Troggoth and the Dankhold Troggboss are both done with finished bases, and I will post pictures of them in the near future. They are done to the best of my abilities at the moment, and I am quite happy with the way they turned out. 

I also painted up a smaller troggoth sculpted in much the same way. I don't remeber if he was made for Warcry or Underworlds, but it seems like this troggoth is no longer in the current range. I had no plans to play that game anyway but planned to add him to my Gloomspite Gitz army along with the others. He originally comes with several other smaller figures, like a flying squig, a rock with a mouth and I think there was one more. They are not done yet, but I am working on them, and they will be added to the army when they are done. I will post the picturee of the Troggoth though, along with the Dankhold ones.

I have also finished my first unit of Hernkyn Yaegirs for Killteam. Basically they are the Hernkyn Pioneers from the Leagues of Votann but on foot instead of riding bikes. I have finished the whole unit of 10 plus one "miniature of the month" making it 11 figs in total. However I saw someone showing a lore video of Squats earlier today, and the pictures there made me think that maybe I should add a few final details on their arms before I call them completely done. But no matter what I end up with I will try and get some pictures of them the way they look now. It is just a matter of adding some color to a small panel they have on their arms. I might do that after they are photographed too and show it off as I finish my next batch of 10 (they are primed waiting to be painted).

There is not a big update for Oldworld (Fantasy) but I have started to paint the guard shack for my mansion, and I am very happy with the way I painted the roof this time even if I changed it from the last buildings I panted so long ago. I had a great recepie for red roofs, but can't find it anymore so I changed to the classic blue that we have seen in a lot of Games Workshop pictures from back in the day. I will keep the red roofs as they are because they look good, but I think most new roofs will be painted in this "new" blue style. I plan to use a dark blue wash on the roofs later on in the process, but I will post a picture in a few days of how it looks now.

I have also used an old piece of fence to try out how I want to paint all the wooden fences that came with the mansion set, this piece is from the old fence set (but that is identical to the one they sell now, it has just gotten new packaging). I tried to paint a fence row of wooden planks and some braided willow and also a signpost. I am not 100% convinced on the braided part, but I love the sign. I will try to remember to take a picture of that as well.

Finally I have started to build some new stuff. For my Secret Grotmas exchange at the Warhammer store I got a box of  5 Terminators, so I have built them already. This is the new type that is more in line with the Primaris Marines. Most of my Terminators are the old type, but I think they will blend in nicely as long as I keep them as a separate unit, and I am sure there will be more. I know there are some in the Leviathan box, but I have only started to work on the Tyranids side of that box as of now.
I had planned to prime my new Terminators, but it has been either very cold or snowing so I haven't been able to do that yet. 

I have a Primaris Spacemarine that was "free model of the month" some time back, and I have been using him to find the way I want my Space marines to look, so I know how I will paint the terminators when I get to start.

The last thing I have been working on is the new Killteam box "Brutal & Cunning". I started with the cunning part, and have assembled 6 Ratlings, a dog and a few traps. I have to say the ratlings are really detailed, and it will probably take me quite some time to get them painted up for that reason, but this also makes them look very good so I don't really mind. 

I haven't played Killteam before, and I sort of doubt I will begin, but they will fit nicely in to the Walpurgian 3rd Imperial Guard army for Warhammer 40.000. 

The Brutal part of the box will be part of my Ork Waaagh! that is slowly growing.
