Sundays are for cooking beans. Apparently these @ranchogordo.bsky.social limas are "humorously large"

Lord-Terminos done! First hero for my new Stormcast.

First five Ironjawz Brutes are done! 💚

First unit of new Stormcast done. Think these colors will look good across a whole army.

Weirdnob Shaman for my Ironjawz

Testing a new Stormcast color scheme.

Beautiful day in Milwaukee

This month, at Xtra: Now that we've all decided fascism is necessary because it's "masculine" (???) (!!!!) I decided to talk to some trans feminists about what they think "masculinity" is, and how men's gender insecurity gets manipulated toward fascist ends: xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Finished my own take on Gordrakk for my Ironjawz.

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

Played our first game of Port Royal by @firelockgames.bsky.social. Super fun! It's Mordheim with pirates.

Painted my first pirate miniatures for Port Royal. French Buccaneers!

Building pirates for Port Royal. 🏴‍☠️🦜⚔️

A couple of my armies looking especially nice on the shelf today.

Had a wonderful time at Adepticon! Great games, including a wild 4-player Necromunda arena match. Everyone I spoke to said how much better the venue was this year.

First game of Adepticon was a win against Sons of Behemat. The new venue is nice! Great vibes

Looking forward to welcoming everyone to #Adepticon in our beautiful city of Milwaukee! Get ready for some classic Midwest weather (45 and rainy). Downtown is very walkable and there's a free tram service called the Hop. Food and drink recs below ->

ericmigi.com/blog/introdu... Holy shit, they brought back Pebble! Best smartwatch I've ever owned, and I've had plenty.

Built a Gundam. Never watched a second of the show, but the kits are fun and relaxing to assemble.

Took the Slaves to Darkness out for a spin this weekend and came 3rd in a 1-dayer tournament (out of 8 players, but still!)

Wooden sign discarded on the frozen surface of the Milwaukee River, near Wisconsin Avenue bridge.

Got some of those Army Painter Blanche paints for my birthday and decided to paint Eternus in a grimdark color scheme.

I want to be friends with this person

Finspan is fun! And I love this guy so much.

It's real. The latest addition to the Span extended universe.

Last night my D&D players defended a dwarven smithy from a long night of attacks by undead hulks and finally a chimera.

Civilization 7 is objectively quite bad - the controls are weird, it doesn't explain itself, the UI is hilariously poor. But it's also subjectively great, because it's charming and fun and I can't stop playing.

Look what arrived in the mail in time for tonight's Drakkenheim session 👀

Fun game of Warhammer against my buddy's converted Sons of Behemat army. The Chosen did their thing and blended Kragnos and the Warstomper turn 1.

My wife finished painting up her Kroxigor. I did the bases.

Flamers of Tzeentch. Rubbish old models, but I did the best I could.

Been really enjoying Godeater's Son -- it's the book I'd give a fantasy fan who knew nothing about Age of Sigmar to get them excited about the setting -- and now I find out the author has a great blog too!

Hey @tonx.coffee, it was cool to read in your zine that you're using a Breville Precision machine. That's my daily driver. Could you share your brew settings for the Yes Plz Mix? And maybe grind number too? I always worry I'm doing it wrong 😅

Don't watch EMILIA PEREZ. But if you must, turn it off after the surgery song and the bit where she's sing-arguing with the doctor. It doesn't get any funnier after that.

Early morning yard visitor.

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Daemon prince done! What a fun model.

I went through every stage of grief watching this. Ended up on the final stage: "I guess chariots plus big blobs of Moonclan will probably be okay"

Chaos Lord is done! (I know it's the Exalted Hero model. I just don't like the official Lord model so I'm using him instead)

New Chaos Sorcerer Lord for my Slaves to Darkness. Quick and easy paint job.

One good way to end a horrible week
