Pixel Paladin
Workshop · Jülich, DE
Online · v1.6.0

Philipp Buchwald.
IT security by day.
Workshop by night.

Direct, practical tools & tinkering from Jülich. 3D prints that actually fit, homelab gear that actually stays up, minis with actually-dry paint. No fluff, no urgency, no tracking.

  • Dynasty Forge

    Pre-MVP

    A mobile game in the workshop. GDD is nearly wrapped; next stop is MVP. Blueprint stays under wraps until the anvil cools.

    Mobile Pixel-art stealth

  • Adeptus Custodes Army

    On the bench

    Gold trim, patience, and a lot of thinned Retributor. The long project — one squad at a time, nothing rushed.

    40K Custodes ongoing

  • Home Renovation

    Pushing

    Ubiquiti rack, Home Assistant everywhere, a homelab that doesn't heat the office. Wires before walls, cable-managed on purpose.

    UniFi HA Proxmox

  • 3D Printing

    Ongoing

    Everything and nothing. Dragons in four colours on the P1S, functional parts for the workshop, the occasional spare that saves a weekend.
