BlueSky is superior in so many ways to Twitter, but it has yet to match its ancestor's ad game.

Overheard one teenager explaining to another that Judas betrayed Jesus, he didn't stab him. Open the schools.

Happy Valentine's. My wife got me roses.

More progress on Gothmog. Skin is done, want to redo that eye.

Basecoating Gothmog

Gothmog's got some boys.

Put paint on some Chaos Familiars and assembled some Morranon Orcs.

A Gothmog for any occasion.

by age 30

Hobbling has been on the backburner for a while, but getting back into it by putting paint on this fellow.

It's hard going to work every day knowing that this guy coasts along just fine while acting like a muppet.

I recommend Nosferatu. Not as nasty as I thought it might be, and I really enjoyed Count Orlock's character. Lovely 'bad dream' feeling to a lot of scenes, which I really enjoyed.

I don't know why I decided to do Marines Malevolent for my Kill Team. This almost killed me, and there's another six to go!

End of the year means the start of a new Necromunda campaign. Chafing Shackles III: Under the Emperor's Gaze.

This Christmas, we've become illuminated.

I have a theory that the strength of a wargaming community is correlated with the level of discussion around the wargame, rather than its actual quality. Just waiting for James Workshop to sponsor a degree mill so that I can write my thesis.

Ensor's Exhilarating Estimations - December 2024 Battlescroll - Adding a list-building factor to compete against the one-drop is a great idea. Let's hope it's enough to actually compete. - The underdog/double turn changes are neat. Kinda just wish underdog wasn't a thing though?

Sometimes I consider trying out a WW2 system, but it makes me realise how much I value being able to paint my models gold or bright red.

The #hobbystreak survives. Day 33 and I've finally basecoated the skin twenty Clanrats, bar some tidy-ups. My soul is not built for infantry.

The reason the bed didn't get made this morning.

Ensor's Exhilarating Estimations: Heretic (2024) I enjoyed it, though I get why people wouldn't. The three leads were excellent. I don't think there were any "Whoah!" moments, but I still found the experience satisfying. 3 and a half Reddit atheists out of 5.

The Clanrat journey continues on day 24 of #hobbystreak. I'm going to start posting weekly, unless I have more productive days, just to save on bytes.

The lines are conga, the command points are stacking, it's second edition AoS baby.

Change of pace for day 23 of #hobbystreak. Tiny building.

Just 2.5 Clanrats' skin basecoated for #hobbystreak day 22. Definitely at a passion ebb, but that's 2.5 Clanrats that are a little bit closer to done.

In terrible news for my hobby streak, Marvel Rivals is a lot of fun.

finished this cities of sigmar steelhems character for @tempestus.bsky.social! incredibly happy with how she turned out, and a unique commission amongst all the space marines i do✨🔨✨

Day 21 of the #hobbystreak centred around a 2k game. I enjoyed the new S2D. Picking a pledge each turn is a fun decision to make. I also put a dab of paint on a Clanrat's head.

They should invent a sore back that isn't sore. I think there's an audience for it.

Oh, go on then.

Quite a sore back today and the painting table's chair is rubbish, so just the skin baseckated on two more Clanrats for day 20 of #hobbystreak.
