Gee, it’s so enticing to go to the US right now (I’ve got a work trip in a few weeks).

Just me following every Old World or Legions Imperialis account I find.

I am going to paint the Tiny Marines. (Fun fact, I had an Epic Squat army back in the day.)

Awww yeah.

If I ever received the 5 things that you did last week email from an external consultant from my employer, rest assured they’re getting an 80+ page report of AI-written drivel, with diagrams and macroeconomic theory will be in there somewhere. Nothing like malicious compliance.

Most of my bases are from found materials. Beach sand, authentic quarry dust from a quarry here in Otago, Aotearoa NZ, various grits and woods. I do add snow or grass tufts from the hobby shop.

Hey newbie mini painters, a quick pitch- *please* finish off your base more than just painting over it with a single colour. Even if it’s just sand and then you basecoat and drybrush a lighter shade over it. It elevates even the most basic painting (and believe me, I am a basic bitch on this stuff).

Today on the painting table, just building up the base colours on this Flame Cannon crewman before I add some more colour on his tunic and make the golds pop etc. I’ve just given him a coat of Liquid Talent (Nuln Oil).

The hidden Hot Wheels collection is coming along nicely. All the pink, purple and daft cars, please. #HotWheels

Played my first test game of #WarhammerTheOldWorld today. 1400pts (based on what I had painted and my opponent could cobble together). The Dwarf Mountain Holds saw off the Night Goblin horde tidily and although most units took a fair amount of damage, I only lost one unit. #WarhammerCommunity

Semi regular reminder that I’m a person. 😅

“Captain America: New World Disorder” IRL.

Dear hotel providers across the world. Unless you are some historic Olde Worlde site and you can’t do thing because reasons, MAKE CHARGING PORTS AVAILABLE NEXT TO THE BED AS BUSINESS TRAVELLERS HAVE DEVICES AND WE’RE FUCKING TIRED WHEN WE GET IN. GODFUCKINGDAMNIT.

For an instant gratification hobby, I’ve started collecting Hot Wheels cars. I now have my favourite car of all time, a Fiat 500e -the EV version. I’m not much of a car person, I am a tiny model person.

Ah yes, the working week. AKA, the bit where I do the stuff to pay the bills and fund the miniatures hobby (which is a bit like a bad partner that I give into and get back with every time I try to give it up).
