Bird Knight! 🥳
As I wasn't able to get one the first time round, I was very glad that they rereleased the Steel Rook mini.
Excellent looking figure and imposing despite the hilarious commitment to the bird theme 🤣 had a lot of fun with this little bastard 😁

Finally picked up another one of the thirteen primes; Solus Prime. With her ginormous hammer of justice 😁
Really fun figure with a gorgeously silly Wacky Races looking alt mode 🤣 and the purple is lush.
Some minor quibbles (as there always are) but overall a very welcome addition to my shelves.

Hi, I'm Pete. Join me for mini painting, robot posting, lefty anger and anti-ai rants 😊
I'm on Insta & Tumblr if you just want the mini posting (below). There's also a Kofi in there if you're feeling generous 😜

When I was a kid, I PRIDED myself on being able to figure out how to transform a TRANSFORMER toy without the instructions... because that was POSSIBLE.
The modern figures require watching at least 2 YouTube videos, the instructions, a master's in Engineering, and access to the BORG collective.

This looks absolutely terrible.
This is offensive but in like an "ew really?" kind of way. Like, artistically.

Really fun pose and base on this guy; incredibly dynamic pose (particularly for a regular infantry type guy) - that individuality is one thing that I like about the Chaos Marines 😊

Kicking off December with the first of my Christmas minis; the Warhammer Commemorative "Da Red Gobbo's Tinboy" starring their mascot up to his usual shenanigans.
So much fun to paint and such a detailed model - very happy with the finished product!

While I wait for my Sci-Fi background book, the Black Legion are stuck trudging through this overgrown forest (sorry lads).
I've grown to enjoy painting the Chaos Marines - in particular, I like how unique they are. Even these "standard" warriors feel like individual characters 😊

One of the things I take great pleasure in is that JK published her detective series under a false name because she was insecure about the idea that her literary work would stand on its own merits.
And it didn't.
They leaked her name to recoup their losses.
I hope that haunts her every day.
