3 more trolls assembled. Hopefully I can get them zenithal primed, weather permitting. Looks like I'm gonna be wrangling a troll herd.

Kinda thinking about doing something fun and special for getting 100 followers. What would folks want to see? I've got some foot heroes and center pieces I can paint up. Or maybe some delicious food pics? Maybe a little bit of both?

I only glued my fingers together or to the figures 3 times. These troggs are a pain to put together. I plan to work on Trugg eventually and I plan to really give that center piece my very best. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #miniaturepainting

Spearhead box complete. Very happy. I'm genuinely looking forward to some learner games with my Gitz. #warhammer #gloomspitegitz #ageofsigmar #minipainting

I only have a little left to do. But the goblin Spearhead is about done. I need to do a little highlighting, add a tuft of basing material and that's it. Minor things I doubt folks would notice. I'll take some glamour pics in the morning or Thursday. #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #warhammer

Got a little paint on the last Troggoth from the Spearhead. Got a lot left to do. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Simple rough WIP phase of a Troggoth. Honestly I've been having a wonderful time painting these lads. I've been wanting to get back to my Flesh Eater Courts. I've been jealous of the new Deathrattle releases. Their Spearhead has huge Ray Harryhausen energy. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Got some basecoats done on a Troggoth. Nothing spectacular. I got my ass kicked at Stargrave at the store tonight. I didn't have anyone die. But I sure didn't score or roll well at all. I did unlock a physical loot object. A fancy JumpPack. Had an epiphany about the activation rules. Start & end.

I had a hell of a weekend. Belated Valentine's Day stuff. That was lovely. In every way. My legs hurt from work, I was on my feet for all weekend. My fancy sourdough starter thing arrived. I'll be painting later today. I'm going to make some ramen. 🍜 Here's some fun random pictures.

So I put my starter in the oven. It has a proofing mode. It was left in there a little too long. Or it was too warm. It bubbled up out of the jar and over the edge. #bakingsky #sourdough #bread

I really think that the next Troggoth I paint is going to have a substantially paler stomach skin tone. It looks so remarkably blue. But in other lighting it looks completely different. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Made fabulous progress on this Gloomspite Gitz Troggoth. I'm particularly proud of his face. I need to work on the stone weapon. But I'd say it's playable. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #miniaturepainting

Well they are alive and growing. So that's positive! #sourdough #bakingsky

I have a new friend. Or rather an old friend who's returned, from a starter I had ages ago. I'm probably going to buy a fancy proofing box. Stay tuned for future bread shenanigans. I require baguettes in my life. #baking #sourdough

Some more progress on troggs. Not as much as I would like. Had to leave early cuz of snow and ice.

I've made some big progress on a big boy. I've got some detailing and the base needs to be painted. Not entirely happy with the skin or his rocky scaly regions. He's playable I suppose. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

I finished all the squigs from the Spearhead box. Now it's troll time. I got this one's mouth mostly done. I'm following Mengel's tutorial. Mildly worried about the new rules for the moon. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

98% done. Just a few minor details. The mushrooms on the lance. Maybe a tweak here or there. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Just about done with the Big Hat Boss Squig Knight. I have like two small details. The mushrooms tied to the lance. Otherwise it's completely done. I'll take a pic soon. Or when it's completed. Stay tuned for some troggs. I am so eager to get the Spearhead completed.

Big hat boss squig knight. Rough, very rough WIP. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Done and done. Time for the big hat boss squig knight. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Day 3 of game-jam, not that great. Busy most of the day. I managed to create the borders for the infinite runner tile. But collision detection is still needed. Area detection etc. I'll work on it some tomorrow. Maybe bake something. Got some painting to do as well.

Day 2 of Game-Jam. Assets loaded. Spite is controllable and movable. Infinite scrolling background created and functional. Using larger player sprite to be appropriate for the level tile. Autoscrolling for the level tile also functional. Need to add "boundaries" for the level, lots more needed.

That Deathrattle Spearhead box looks so nice. In fact the glow up for that sub faction of SBGL is awesome. If I wasn't already invested in other armies or working on another Spearhead box, I'd totally be looking into gorgeous skeletons. 🦴 They give me strong Ray Harryhausen animator vibes.

Day 1 of Game-Jam. Tools installed. "Hello World" project builds. Supposedly exports to Web successfully. Game Design Doc "mostly" written. Player sprite added, associated need to assign movement. I want the player sprite to move across the 2D top-down landscape. First lunch break. Then more work.

Algorithms ruined everything

Focaccia came out amazing. I was filled with worry and anxiety about it. I might've sprinkled a smidge more salt than necessary. I definitely will be making this again. I'd like to see about adapting it or doing a pizza crust with it. I want an even more tremendous rise. #baking #kingarthurflour

Final proofing for the focaccia. 1hr and then we bake this bad boy. God I hope this turns out well

Attempting to do the King Arthur Flour's focaccia recipe. Well see how it turns out. It's very gooey. Not sure I'm getting good structure. Hopefully it turns out well! www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/big-...

Resisting the urge to buy things from King Arthur Flour's website. Several recipes; Focaccia, Russian Black Bread, and an Herb Parmesan Scones got bookmarked. Even some noodle recipes!

Rough WIP. Thought I'd take a break from the spearhead. This was more difficult, without any pronounced musculature for painting. Those highlights and values were harder to place. Not entirely happy with them, but good enough I guess. Next up is the base. #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #warhammer

Going to make some homemade fettuccine. I've got some chicken sausage and some alfredo as well. I'm currently working on two figures. The unit champion for my squig cavalry and the loon-boss on giant cave-squig. I only have 4 models left and the spearhead will be complete!!

I got some incredible KitchenAid accessories. So I made fresh lasagna noodles and some homemade lasagna last night. #cooking #lasagna

Been thinking about NYE and goals for 2025. 1) Gainful employment in the tech sector. 2) Paint center-piece figure for AOS. 3) Finish painting a 2K army that is already in-progress. 4) Learn a new painting technique. NMM. 5) Bake a perfect baguette. 6) Make an incredible tiramisu. 7) Detroit Pizza!

Getting very close to wrapping up "Mike Wazowski", from my spearhead box. Just a few touches on the base. Then it's the unit leader. Which is going to be getting some NMM for practice. #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz #warhammersky

Sandwich loaf just put in the oven. Not gonna win any awards for how pretty it turned out. But hopefully it turns out delicious and rises well! I forgot to mist it, but hopefully that won't wreck it. #cooking #bakesky

Made a little progress on "Mike Wazowski", the store closed a little earlier. Baking some bread in the meantime in preparation for Christmas.

Setting up a sponge for some baguettes. 🥖 Tomorrow I'll do some sandwich bread. 🍞 Which is gonna be great for French Toast.

I think the unit champion after I finish "Mike" is going to be a exercise in some NMM painting. Gonna ask one of the gents at the store. I've given it a go in the past and.. well...this as practice will help. Also looking forward to the muscles and stuff on the trolls!

Committing to the bit. I am happy with how the highlights have been and also this has been educational for knowing where to put those highlight values for the musculature. I dub thee "Mike Wazowski". Rough WIP. #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

Finished painting the commemorative figure for this Christmas. I feel like I could have done better white highlights. It reads better in person or in different lighting. Note to self, improve photography lighting. #warhammer
