The venerable Rick Priestly once wrote an article about focus in ones hobby endavours (or something like that. Long time ago) were he renamed December to Month of painting Witch Elves. Inspired by that I have tried to schedule 2025 hobby wise on a monthly basis 1/13

Jeg elsker britisk litteratur og jeg faldt over denne ti år gamle liste fra BBC. Kvinder dominerer toppen, dels er de i flertal og dels er top tre kvinder.

The market in Traitors Toll has expanded significantly. Got these from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social, sadly only two in the box. The rest of the stuff is good but I’d have hoped for a few more stalls. At least I’ve plenty of scatter from the box I can use. #nerdlings #wargaming #traitorstoll

I literally paint all my 'mechs differently. People like to see custom color schemes just as much as "official" ones.

I've got mechs painted in Synthwave Bisexual™️ and no one has ever protested they aren't the right colors for a match 😁

As others have said: go nuts. I've done two schemes based on in universe lore, but I've also done a small squad as my own mercenary crew with uniform colors and a whole bunch as any dang color I felt like at the moment.
If anyone whines, it's a rogue mercenary.

I have my Battletech miniatures from the core set primed and ready for painting, but now I get in doubt. I want to paint them orange but that is not in "correct" acording to my limited knowledge of the lore. How much are people "rivet counting" in Battletech?

A group of 6 #28mm @Gripping_Beast Arab Cavalry finished today which makes 12 out of the 36 I have on the go. Simple paint job really brought to life with the Little Big Men Shield Transfers.

What can I say? I might have gotten the uniform wrong in a video... almost exactly five years ago, but at least I come around to fixing a mistake, I do it in style!
