Fan of many things, but mostly trying to make Blood Bowl on Bluesky happen. Occasionally masquerades as a massive green chap.
The #BloodBowl Skaven I've been working on. I'm really pleased with how they came out. Some of the best sculpts in the 3rd edition range.
I'm not sure what to paint next. I need to do some Goblins for a mate or I could paint Bretonnians for myself.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

The avatar, created to deter young people from extremism, has been subverted and is breaking out of niche online silos
In certain corners of the internet, on niche news feeds and algorithms, an AI-generated British schoolgirl has emerged as something of a phenomenon.
Her name is Amelia, a purple-haired “goth girl” who proudly carries a mini union flag and appears to have a penchant for racism. Continue reading...

So GW are banning use of AI. I think this is a broadly good thing, for the environment if nothing else.
Creatively though, their recent art output is almost like AI in that it's all very much in the same style. There's no individuality any more.

New season of Mayhem #BloodBowl League kicked off this evening.
My Irn Bruisers (Black Orcs) played the Blackwater Park Rangers (Elven Union).
It was very sunny, which suits me because I have no intention of passing, and I won the toss.
I had figured that I needed early removals so I received.

Underpaint was purple this time and I think it works very well.
Hopefully this will go into the charity auction at Thrudball

The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.
The week I turned 10 this was UK no.1
Seems extremely likely to be honest.
