Just elements of the Billy bookcase line from Ikea - in this case with glass shelves and a set of glass paneled doors from the display cabinet (see here before I added lighting).

Finally... I held onto this old Dark Elf Man O War ship prow for AGES, wanting to someday build a jetbike conversion around it. Finally made this Autarch on a Skyrunner last year - just in time for GW to remove it as a codex option! 😭

And plenty of fast attack options in my Windhost.

Also some supporting elements - with all the weapons here being magnetized for easy reconfiguration of weapon options. I still have a couple of unpainted Falcons still waiting to join as well...

I also love rangers and corsairs, and have quite a few, old and new, including tracking down Amallyn Shadowguide from Blackstone Fortress!

While no Biel-Tan force would be complete without plenty of representation from the Aspect Shrines! I still have new Warp Spiders, Fire Dragons, Swooping Hawks, and Phoenix Lords to be painted. And someday, perhaps an Avatar of Khaine.

Of course, Guardians and Autarchs are the backbone of a Craftworld's Warhost, and I have plenty to field.

I suppose I could possibly do with another Wraithlord or two for this Spirit Host, and someday... a Wraithknight!

I particularly love collecting Farseers, Spiritseers, and Warlocks - including a few original lead castings here in the upper right.

This is the centerpiece of my miniature collection - a massive Biel-Tan Warhost! I started this particular army in 2014 with the express goal of painting quickly to a tabletop standard.

Flashback Feb 2022 - GW unveiled the Serpent Scale for Aeldari Guardians with retro callback to the original epic Wave Serpent. I loved it and had some of those metal old bits... and so I made a couple of "old school" versions. 😎

Got the Aeldari figure from Warhammer+ just to immediately commit heresy and put it on a more playable base! 😂

Also picked up the ranger figure from the Blackstone set because it is lovely. Hope to find painting time soon...

I don't have much purple anymore, having sold off my Khemri a while back and never having photographed it. I really should rectify this too overlooked color in my collection.

So have some super old school GW!

Couple of other odd bins - OLD games workshop slotta bases (more modern bases I keep organized in drawers) and just other super random mostly non-GW stuff.

The bins are old Chessex dice displays from the hobby shop I worked at in the early 90s.

Dedicating the weekend to hobbying, including rummaging through some bitz boxes. Here's my Eldar bits, from modern to... not quite ancient (no Rogue Trader Space Elves here).

Taking a break from the discourse to enjoy the classic movie Aliens!

As a progression designer, much of my time is spent in excel, but I also often find myself "sketching" out vague number scrawls as I contemplate how I want to do something. 😂

Obviously, a few details got changed around between initial plan and final execution, such as dropping the jetpack early on. And then replacing the shoulder pads for Salamander bits when I finally came back to the project.

These photos are from when I originally started him in 2004.

I love my flamey boy!

I had originally started this conversion in 2004 (!), and then he went into a storage container as life happened, and I didn't end up coming back to finish him until a few years ago.

Taking next week off from work, and picked up some summer reading to pass the time!

Full hardbound compilation of Ghost in the Shell (862 pages!), a lovely hardbound copy of The Last Ronin, and @gailsimone.bsky.social's initial XMen run!

Similarly, my friend Randy Gallegos wanted to be an illustrator for Dungeons and Dragons since we met (7th grade). He was singularly focused on a career in fantasy art.

Last year, his Magic Missile illustration was one of 16 paintings chosen to honor D&D as US postage stamps!
