I'm a miniature painter and (occasional) wargamer that largely focuses on Warhammer 40k and BattleTech. I have started posting shorts to my YouTube channel. Streams and long-form content soon?

Do not believe MechFrog when he tries to blame people for attacking women or misinterpreting his intentions about "I 100% support Democrats who want to get sterilized."

He consistently will post what he means, then block or delete messages to maintain appearances.

He is a coward.

my family out here calling themselves "the hunted"

are you for real right now

hey, remind me: which of us had to flee our home state because of the policies promoted by that fuckass and which of us just put a new pool in at our house?

Something happened earlier that could have been seen coming from a mile away. For years, that rhetoric has stoked the worst in our society.

Leopards feasted on faces today.

I just fear what comes next.

There is no such thing as perfect Gloomspite Gitz fan art.

*looks at r/gloomspitegitz*

I stand corrected.

So, oops?

I got up my Techmarine video the other day, but I was away for work, so I didn't even think about posting it here!

Here you go!

I do think I found my red recipe for my Lumineth when I get there though... That came out PRETTY!

Okay, so I fell in love with sponging as a technique.

I am so glad I picked up a 32 pack of makeup sponge wedges for under $2, because why not?

Let's take this to the next level!

This is my 100th painted mini for the year!

He is Da Great Gold Git, more of a force of destruction for Da Dank Uns in Ghyran. He is an ancient grot that was consumed by da shroomz, but still lives to follow the Bad Moon!

This is what I LOVE about Gloomspite Gitz. They look great in so many schemes and I'm kinda jealous that I didn't think of this scheme before I started Da Dank Uns!
Goblin mode continues.

First pass on the pink flame details on the hood. Gotta tidy them up a little and give all the noses a bit of blush etc.

Feel like I'm through the weeds now and it's starting to come together!

Here is the final lance of my first company of the Outworlds Alliance's 1st Long Road Legion!

This #BattleTech scheme is super fun and there are several ways to go about it.

This was my first decal attempt and I think it worked!

It's been a minute since I've posted a completed project.

Last week I took a vacation and spent most of it building, painting, and playing #40k lol.

Here is my Lieutenant with Storm Shield! I need more Veterans because I love those sculpts!

As I head into a week of vacation, I started it off right by building my Abaddon (mostly, at least the subassemblies) and kitbashing my Chapter Master!

I have my first game for this break tomorrow, then I will probably be painting and building a ton!

Here is my Lieutenant with Combi-Weapon!

Between this and the Terminator Captain from Leviathan, I REALLY want to paint some Tyranids! Though I still don't know what scheme I would do. Hmmm...

I have some CSM to paint first!

Let's go, girls...

Mentor Legion Infiltrator Squad finished!

Ten Female Space Marines in scuffed-up power armour, with metal heads from @statuesque.bsky.social and lots of minor changes and tweaks.

It's weird exactly how long these guys have been "done" but I hadn't shared them out.

But these minis were my testers for @goobertownhobbies.bsky.social and @ebayminirescues.bsky.social Stampin' Plates! I have a lot to learn!

My friend @zahra-the-bard.bsky.social put out this article today on her blog!

I can't wait for Gothic to get here and this is some great insight into the box!

Jealous of those Gen Con goers!

BattleTech Gothic: First Impressions
As a long-time (literally thirty years) fan of BattleTech, it's been amazing watching a game that I saw almost wither up and die…

Got these guys painted and varnished last night.

Today, I am going to attempt round 2 of stamp tests, then will probably give them their matte varnish layer, along with the rest of my painted models.

Huzzah!

Looking forward to finishing this pair of Lieutenants tonight or tomorrow for a Doubles tournament this weekend. We are pretty much at the highlighting stage and I am pretty pumped about it!
