I did some touch ups on my old Grom the Paunch mini!
The Beasts now have their own rocky terrain. Very pleased with the herdstone in particular.
My Warhammer Dwarfs army! I’ll add more photos to this when I can get them out and take better pictures!
Nice!!! A well deserved tabling of a fitting kitbash! If you can find a PDF of the chaos war mammoth rules online, you might be able to get someone to play 8th edition with you as well. But a massive giant definitely makes sense for a proxy!

I made some frenzied (savage) orc chariots for Warhammer the Old World! This particular guy seen before I put him on the chariot has huge Bat Boy from Weekly World News energy and I love him!

Artist Adam Huenecke recently used his love for both ’80s sitcoms and tabletop wargaming as inspiration for a series of figures imagining the eponymous Golden Girls as battle-hardened warriors in the service of Warhammer 40K’s grimdark Imperium of Man. And while not the most obvious peanut butter cup-style pairing, the results are incredible.
“I’m a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas,” Huenecke said via Instagram caption on Jan. 26. “I’ve been working through this concept for years and I’m excited to finally have it accomplished.”
Speaking to Polygon, Huenecke said the crossover was a natural result of being a lifelong fan of The Golden Girls and miniature painting. His dream was helped along by a digital sculptor at tabletop company Black Site Studios, who modeled the figures’ custom heads. Black Site Studios has since made the heads available as digital models for a small fee.
“Once I had the head sculpts, I printed out a bunch of reference pictures to try to do their faces justice,” Huenecke told me through email. “I had to digitally sculpt Sophia’s purse (carried by the cherub), which I’m not very good at so it took forever. Otherwise, I had to modify the miniatures a little to fit some of the characteristics of each Girl: I made Dorothy a little taller, Sophia much shorter, etc.”
Due to the Golden Girls dressing as nuns at various points in the series, Huenecke figured Warhammer 40K’s pseudo-religious Sisters of Battle were a “natural fit,” and went about choosing models he felt matched their unique characteristics. Sophia “runs the show,” much like a senior officer known as a Cannoness, Dorothy is modeled after the discipline-focused Dogmata due to students nicknaming her “Attila the Sub” when she teaches high school, Rose’s love for telling stories about her hometown St. Olaf made her a perfect fit for the inspirational Dialogus, and Blanche became a whip-wielding Repential Superior thanks to her often-physical guidance.
“It turns out there is a considerable crossover in the fandoms,” Huenecke said when asked about the feedback he’s received. “People were happy to see the loving detail put into some of their favorite characters. The Golden Girls holds up over time; their humor is based on brilliant timing and great writing, and their values are surprisingly progressive, even by today’s standards. I think that resonates with a lot of gamers who have revisited the series. And honestly, if you aren’t a fan of the Golden Girls, you’re probably not any fun to spend several hours pushing toy soldiers around with.”
Do you remember how there was several different origin stories for Master Splinter from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Sometimes he was a rat that turned into a humanoid, sometimes he was a human that became rat-like? You know how Master Splinter predates skaven by a year? I decided to make a skaven if they had been humans that became rat-like! Happy April Fool’s whatever!
Happy May Day, y’all.
