I’m told that the greatest strength of the Aeldari is flexibility. I guess that’s why Jimi didn’t glue the Windriders to their posts, so you have flexibility in their positions? Maybe? Anyway, Jimi’s got these figures on sale at Etsy!

The Necrons are a nasty bunch of robotic warriors intent on taking over the Warhammer 40k universe. Jimi gets to heart of these soulless constructs, painting them in gleaming silver (stainless steel? That would make clean up easier) and gold.

Figure of a Necron Overlord, a silver construct with gold and verdigrised copper highlights. It has a neck piece that has two chains flowing before it. It carries a large weapon, a hyperphase staff, a silver staff with gold blade. It stands on mossy scrub.
Figures of ten silver and gold Necron mechanical infantry troopers. The are in battle positions with various guns with extremely nasty bits at the ends, so you can be sure they mean business. The stand on mossy scrub.
A figure of a silver, three-legged Skorpekh Destroyer holding two golden hyperphase reap-blades. It stands on mossy scrub.
Three sets of eight Canoptek Scarabs, small Necron machine servants. They are painted sliver and gold and are mounted on round black settings with mossy scrub.
Three figures of silver, three-legged Skorpekh Destroyers. They carry golden hyperphase blades. They stand on mossy scrub.

Jimi was asked to give some garden gnomes a makeover. No problem! With his trusty 3D-printer, he fixed some snapped extremities and gave each gnome a fresh coat of (improved) paint.

Murderous madman
Before: Murderous gnome’s knife is broken!
Murderous madman gnome with hockey mask now has a repaired knife covered in blood dropplets
After: That’s better. Bloody knife reattached and “Evil Gnomes” highlighted amongst other improvements in shading and detail.
Angry gnome, giving the middle finger, has faded paint on his face and cap
Before: Faded and dull, this mean gnome is just misunderstood.
Angry gnome, sticking up his middle finger, is richly colored with a ginger beard, blue cap, and "Go Away" clearly written on a sign in front of him
After: Now this is an angry gnome! You can’t ignore his sign, his ginger beard, or his bright blue cap. GO AWAY!

Before: Angry? Maybe. Threatening? Nah.
20220516_104440
After: LOOK OUT and say hello to his little friend! This gnome, with his salt-and-pepper beard and bright clothing, is ready to protect his stash.
The Gnomenator stands with pistol raised towards the ceiling. He wears dark glasses and has grey clothing along with a unzipped leather jacket revealing his pecs
Before: Gotta admit this Gnominator is a badass already, but…
20220517_135637
After: Popping the detail with higher contrast, the upgraded Gnominator even has his designation, CSM-101 on his glasses. He’ll be back… in your garden.

Before: This gnomish master of Zen can only teach us so much with one of his middle fingers missing.
A refreshed gnome in a zen-like state, sits in the lotus position and gives us his wisdom -- two raised middle fingers
After: Now his true teachings can begin, with his restored finger and higher contrast coating of paint.

A bust of a horned female with cowl. She is wearing shoulder pauldrons and robe. She is holding an orb in one hand and casting a fire spell in the other. She has a harness that connects to the pauldrons and belt, where she has a pouch and a light teal potion.

Is this cultist a tiefling or just wearing a badass mask with horns? Either way, this 75mm bust was 3D printed and painted by Jimi, who likes his dragon cultists to be wise.

Close up of a Christmas ornament hung on a lit Christmas tree. The ornament is a round, angry green monster with 4 yellow eyes, of various sizes, and a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth and a lolling purple tongue with white warts

It’s just an ordinary ornament. What harm can it… OH MY GOD!

Even holidays aren’t free from the mimic menace. They add danger and adventure for the family who unwrap their Christmas presents under the tree.

headless horseman

Pumpkin Knight, the guardian of all that is spooky, asks that you no longer call him “headless.” Clearly, he has a head, and it’s a pumpkin. There is nothing funny about a pumpkin-head, and it is scary. Stop laughing.

The background is a googled scary road image. Miniatures were printed with plans from Thingiverse and printed on Anycubic Photon S.

A bust of an female elf with braided hair dressed in green garb and with a quiver of blue feathered arrows.

A bit of different style of figurine, this Elfin Ranger is a bust that Jimi printed (on a Photon S 3D printer) for a friend. The original file was downloaded from Thingiverse.
