- Free tip today for "professional" mini photography. A simple A3 printed blue-white gradient held up using clothespins attached to the wall with adhesive strips.
- I use a larger white sheet of paper behind the gradient background to prevent colour bleed from my Goblin Green wall, but you can obviously skip this if your wall is already white.
- Had a lot of fun at my first Warhammer Tournament yesterday (Batalha Corvos in Lisbon) and very proud that my army won the "best painted" prize!
- Having lost most of my childhood miniatures, I'm proud that I can finally field a 1,500pts painted army again. Dwarfen Mountain Holds for Warhammer: The Old World, ready for battle!
- No tutorial for this one, but here's the last model for my 1,500pts Dwarfen Mountain Holds army. These are more fun to play with on the tabletop than to paint! #warhammer #theoldworld #dwarfs
- High Elf from my teenage years vs now. Pretty consistent in style, but I guess I didn't really improve in the last 25 years...
- I tried to re-create a classic 'Eavy Metal style High Elf from the old painting guides. I made some notes along the way and wrote a new tutorial for www.harmsworkshop.com if you're interested!
- Reposted by Harm op den AkkerI made a YouTube video on the evolution of my goblins. I went from using metallics and saturated red hoods to NMM and square bases. I also show the paints I use.

- I made a big mistake and forgot to paint up the banner for Kragg the Grim. Before ending up in the Book of Grudges, I decided to correct it and also create a new tutorial for doing paper banners, here: harmsworkshop.com/tutorials/ba.... Hope it's useful for anyone!
- What better way to present nostalgic written Warhammer tutorials than in an old familiar style? I've been working on some style changes over at harmsworkshop.com, mostly noticeable on desktop browsers. Love to hear your feedback!
- Kragg the Grim in my best effort to mimic the old 'Eavy Metal style.
- My 3-year old son just found my box of old 90s Warhammer minis and is fighting with classic Squig sculpts and shooting with an old metal Rock Lobba and I'm internally torn between intervening and encouraging this...
- Finished my first miniature for my #WarhammerQuest build. Tutorial is also online at www.harmsworkshop.com. Great fun to paint this classic Monopose orc again, as it was my first ever Warhammer miniature :)
- As an "hommage" to the Crown of Command podcast's weekly "Thank Gork It's Friday!" series, I posted my own little "studio update" titled "Thank Grungni It's Friday!" harmsworkshop.com/editorials/t...
- A Goblin Wolf Rider in 42 small steps... Check out the free tutorial here: harmsworkshop.com/tutorials/pa...
- After some experimentation with basing for my #WarhammerQuest project, I decided to create a tutorial for these four styles. Check it out at www.harmsworkshop.com! Any preference?
- Goblin Wolf Riders from #theoldworld in an attempted #oldhammer look. Tutorials available now at www.harmsworkshop.com
- Seeing a post by @angelinetrevena.bsky.social I was reminded of the Fantasy Map Making hobby that I've also tried to pick up. Since I had no inspiration on what to draw, I decided to log our recent family trip to the Açores... (there weren't any actual see monsters, so I can warmly recommend going!)
- Tutorials for #Warhammer Goblin Wolf Riders (and more Wolves!) are well underway for harmsworkshop.com
- Scratch-built archway for #WarhammerQuest (1995). Any ideas for improvements?
