"You there, boy! What day is it?"

"Why, 'tis quarterly deep-clean all your brushes day, ma'am!"

"Goddammit, the spirits did it all in one night, then. Fucking spirits."

Back at work on the minis for my friend's Stormlight Archive game. Now tackling the The Way of Kings box-set and starting with the Blackthorn himself, everyone's stern dad: Highprince Dalinar Kholin.

A close-up of a painted RPG miniature of a heavily armored man in metallic plate that glows blue-white at the seams. There are cracks in the breastplate that leak the same light as he hefts a massive silver sword over his head in a two handed grip. A pulled out shot of the mini. A shot of the mini from the back. A shot of the mono from the right side.

God, the store I work at had so much seasonal shit from that one specific set of wizard school books, and it made me feel so good to see all of the unsold stuff get unceremoniously dumped in a box for disposal today.

Some 6mm terrain I painted this year and then never got around to basing, so I never took photos of it.

The J. Edgar Light Hovertank seems like a perfectly fine piece of hardware, but like its namesake, it has a real smug, twerpy energy that makes me want to shove it into its locker before it kills again.
#battletech #mechwarrior #minis #wargames
A J. Edgar Light Hovertank in green and yellow. Its turret is turned away from us slightly, cocked at an insouciant angle, like a duck in a carnival shooting game. "Ooh, look at me," it croons, "I'm the most wonderful duck on the pond!" Get real, duck. Oh now you're not even going to look at me? Just swimming away? Don't turn your back on me! Ugh, your smug little face... I could drop-kick you into the sun.

Classic Nevada Sky Drama.
A Las Vegas sunset over the mountains around Red Rock Canyon. The clouds are a dozen shades of grey, and bright, red and pink and purple spots of color shine through. Multiple palm trees are silhouetted in the foreground.

The Drillson Heavy Hover Tank is, honestly, kind of a beast. With so many fun little shapes and forms to paint, I felt like it was calling out for some tiger stripe camo.
#battletech #mechwarrior #tabletopgames #wargames #minis
A Drillson Heavy Hover Tank, viewed from above. It is dressed up in green with yellow tiger stripe camouflage accents. The Drillson at a 3/4 angle, with the turret partially rotated. The Drillson from the right side. The Drillson from behind.

There's no doubt about it - spend enough time in Night City, and you're eventually going to run into some gonks. Can you guess who you want by your side when the gonks roll up? That's right - some chooms.

One of the most tedious conversations it's possible to have at this point. It always conflates cultural impact with cultural saturation. Avatar shows up every few years, a bunch of people see it and have a good time, and then they get on with their lives. Like 99% of movies, shows, or books.

2025 painting thread! All of the little plastic dudes I painted this year, all in one place: #battletech #cosmererpg, and a few more generic #minis

Up first: Xenomorph, large-scale Ironwinds Warhammer, some WizKids figures from a painting event, and a printed oversized UrbanMech. 1/-
A large, resin Xenomorph sculpt, painted in gossy, silver-black. A green and yellow Warhammer under dramatic green lighting. An elf and some kind of hunched over little blue haired girl in a long coat. A shiny, black UrbanMech spattered in green, white, and yellow paint, covered in graffiti.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

There's something delightful about a wide 'mech, and the Crockett is definitely that. Big shoulders, wide stance; you can't knock this boy over with a sock full of quarters.
#battletech #mechwarrior #minis #wargames #tabletopgames #mechs
A dramatic angle on a green and yellow Crockett BattleMech with a gold canopy and red and white accents. The Crockett from the front. It's fuckin' thicc as hell. The Crockett from the back. Real dump truck ass on this one. And one more from the side.

One of the best things that Star Trek: The Next Generation does is having a little guy show up who Picard IMMEDIATELY hates.

A dramatic closeup of a green and yellow Spider BattleMech. It's paint is beat to hell, and it has a red spade on its right shoulder armor. A full body shot of the same Spider. The Spider from the left side. The rear of the Spider, an absolute wall of jump jet nozzles.

If it ain't the Gotengo, and the next part of the sentence isn't "and we need it to help Godzilla, who is real," I just don't want to hear about it.

Tex Talks Battletech the Black Knight will soon be upon us. You just might find it under the tree on Christmas day.

In the meantime, those Capellans aren't going to chop themselves up.

Turns out I have a whole backlog of Battletech tanks, and even a mech, that I just never took pictures of or posted, so let's start the day off right with a Patton.
#battletech #mechwarrior #minis #wargames #mechs #tanks
A green Patton tank with a thick yellow stripe running up the left side of its hull and turret. The turret has rotated to the left, pointing at some unseen target. The word "CARNIVORE" has been painted on the turret in red. A more front-facing view of the same tank. A look at the tank from the left side, showing that the hull stripe branches at the back to send two lines down the side of the skirts. The same tank, seen from the rear.

Company comin'! Someday soon, I'll actually paint some infantry units for this Dead Rabbits Heavy APC to haul around and validate how caked in mud and grime I made it.
#battletech #mechwarrior #minis #wargames #mechs #tanks
A green and yellow wide-bodied hover tank APC, festooned with hatches and weapons. It is absolutely covered in dirt and mud. The words "Company Comin'!" have been painted across the front of it. The tank viewed from the left side. The tank viewed from the right side. The tank viewed from behind.
