I thought I'd do a little art vs artist with some of my favourite models I've painted this year.

There are a lot of wings there, lots of Thousand Sons, a couple of conversions, and the first two busts I've ever painted. If there's one thing it's been a good year for, it's painting models. 🙂
I've been working on Beowulf's cloak tonight, trying to give it a rough wool texture. And to my friend who said don't paint him rainbow... The tiny details of the trim add the last two colours I needed. 😂🌈

A cold toned base of blues and greens to contrast the warm tones of the model.

There will be some proper pictures at some point.

It's my birthday so by law you have to at least visit the shop and go "wow what a good girl you did this all by yourself" & some local bylaws demand a purchase. I don't make these laws!

Thanks for all your support, younger me would be SO HYPED for today me <3

Extremely early progress on Beowulf.
As he's a king, he should have a lot of colours and they should be bright, but I've decided to mute the green and blue because that feels better to me. Some of the silver will go bronze/gold too with glazing when I'm done.

Sorry Duncan, your paints are amazing but your bottles are shit, especially for washes. Tired of opening this with my teeth and not being able to get any out. And a bonus to transferring it, it fits nicely in the paint holder/scenery/egg cup. 😁

Do you want to know what I'll be painting next?

It's Beowulf! Also from @fenrisgames.com

I asked my historical reenactment friend for colour advice and he said lots of different colours was a sign of wealth and then shouted "But don't paint him rainbow!"

I think I have a reputation. 😂

"Good enough" is an incredibly useful principle in our hobby. It helps calibrate our expectations of success. My #Ultramarines are for gaming not display. These reinforcements are good enough for the tabletop. So I'm calling them done & moving on to the next project.

I'm a test reader for a friend's book. I'm reading each chapter and giving feedback as I go, saying what I like/dislike and sending photos of things I think are typos. It's almost 3am and I've just realised I've sent 12 messages and oh god what if he was asleep and didn't have his phone on silent. 😬

He is the goodest boy.

Photo is from November, but it's good and you should all see it.

Hi, my name's Jack.

Here is the text of Terry Pratchett interviewing Bill Gates in 1995.

Thanks to @rhi.bsky.social for summoning help, and to @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk for the source, I have manually transcribed its 3,481 words into a Google doc.

Enjoy.

I saw a thing earlier today, one of those "quote with your faces" things, but I lost it.

But then I was thinking about these dorks all day - so here they are:

January is over so it’s time for a new comp.

This month the theme is…what’s wrong with you?

Your objective is to create a miniature with something wrong with it.

Glass hammer? Magnus the Bread? Dildo Baggins? Go wild.

Rules on skeet 2 (please read them)

I distinctly heard the sound of a cat throwing up in my house.

I don't have a cat. And my dog is asleep next to me.

Didn't like the way my angled usb stuck out under my monitor so I fixed it.
