Big ol' Warhammer nerd. With a blog: https://victorypointless.com/
Hobby experiment: Using tape, thinner masking tape and yellow spray paint to make small-scale hazard stripes.
Results: Meh. It sort-of works, but I'm not sure it's that much quicker, easier or better looking than just freehanding it.

Orks: 144
Tyranids: 26
Necrons: 33
Blood Angels: 23
AdMech: 2
Terrain: 22
Misc: 2
Total: 252 (ish)

I've been painting some ooky spooky vampire space marines. Because I'm an old man who hates change I have de-primarisified them as much as reasonably possible. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #bloodangels #givememk7helmetsorgivemedeath

Painted the new Geomancer. GW seem to have forgotten about giving them 40k rules (why do you hate Necron Kill Teams, GW?), so I guess they're a spare Technomancer for now. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

I've painted up a few sections of Necron Tomb World terrain. I originally wanted this just to use as background for photographing other models, but I'm now tempted to get a second set to use for Boarding Actions. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

My #40k crusade group has started a new Nachmund Gauntlet campaign and as usual I’m writing a campaign diary at victorypointless.com. This time though I’m trying to keep everything in-narrative so it can be read as one continuous story. First 3 entries up.

As a wise man once said; 'Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four bio-adapting a giant monster with scythes for hands'. Or something like that, anyway.

I've made some tweaks to my www.dicendamage.com/Warhammer40k 40k damage calculator to show probability distributions instead of just averages. #warhammercommunity

When I got back into the hobby ~5 years ago the first things I painted were the Genestealers from the Space Hulk box. Now I want to include them in my Tyranid army but they don't match the scheme, so into the Reclamation Pool (Isopropyl Alcohol) they go! #warhammercommunity (un-) #paintingwarhammer

Tech Priest, testing out a paint scheme for a possible AdMech army I definitely shouldn't start. Trying to apply what I've learned doing Non-Metallic-Metal to True-Metallic-Metal to make it pop more. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #stopmebuyinganotherarmy
