You know when you’re painting minis, and your brain just tells you how bad it looks, slowing you down, then suddenly you do a step and it starts to click and get you back in it?

Yeah, we hit that!

So doing the main armour, I might have made a little mistake.

Can you spot it?

Good thing I already had the white paint ready 😑

Will never vote reform.
There it is.

Farage and Reform would end our NHS.

Millions of people could not afford to be ill under a Reform government.

Okay so.

I know this guy costs quite a bit and we're all struggling right now. So I want to give this painted model away to someone.

If you're in the UK and can't afford to buy the model but really want it, drop a reply to this post.

I'll pick a follower at random later today and post it free. ❤️
Whee! Warhammer Community shared my Nightbringer! This was so fun to paint! Thanks for the opportunity!

Growing up, more than a few people wondered why my taste in music leaned towards rock and metal.

They forget they threw a specific set of toys at me, then made a movie with this theme song to it!

Transformers went hard!

I was actually interested in the Konflikit ‘47 line, but if that’s the attitude, nope.

Sexism does not belong in tabletop gaming.
I'm super happy not to spend any money on @warlordgames.com if this is their attitude toward women in the hobby.

I am still painting the space elves, it’s been a busy time of year, but new reading material has arrived!

It’s been a while since I batch painted an army, I forgot how long each stage can take to do the whole lot.

And that’s just 12 minis.

Happy New Year folks!

May it be a better one.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.
