I've also got the Star Wars Legion Seperatist Starter Box and there's like 30 B1 droids in there. Starting today on those and I'm 4 down! This is gonna take a while....
But on the plus side now that I got a use for Tamiya Cement it is soooooo fucking good like I've straight been missing out.

I finally have all of my miniatures from home so I'm painting up some Old World and OPR Rat Ogres and I do just love how silly they look just throwing on the initial colors. I'm trying to be less scared of using opaques, but it should turn out just fine.

Whole bunch of hobby stuff, but nothing quite super complete. Got a Bamboo A1 printer up with a 0.2mm nozzle and honestly it's nearly as good as resin and as a casual little hobbyist it's absolutely perfect for any little minis I want. Very very happy with the results

Good day of finishing these guys up. Shoulderpad rank/grouping is totally the way to go with star wars stuff. Unsure about the rust but will match the droideka. #nerdlings #miniatures #starwars #legions

Done painting up the chaos monsters now. Just need to base them up later. Starting from a full black prime is rough but i think i made the more opaque paints work. #nerdlings #warhammer #miniatures

Spartans and scifi randoms this month. Still having a lot of fun with the new fancy brushes and trying to make myself do more tiny details and highlights, even if theres a few failures of execution here. #miniatures #nerdlings #halo

The first trio is finished! Even got some panel liner and touched them all up a bit. Only thing they're missing now is lore. Got double this and two war dogs to go, but next is Halo minis and some cultist proxies. #nerdlings #miniatures #warhammer #40k #wargaming

Baby dove spotted! Been waiting a while for them to ever poke their head out, swear it's the first time mom has let them up for air. Could be more in there but hard to tell. #birds

Droideka are one of my most favorite robots, so glad I snagged up a lot. I think sponging on teal did a good job for verdigris rusting. Really should get some sand or texture paint for bases though. #nerdlings #starwars #legion #wowcoolrobot #miniaturepainting

Pride month themed griffin hatchlings for everyone! Shame I don't have any idea what game they'd really fit in to outside some dnd but every army needs mascots. #nerdlings #pridemonth #birds

Opened up some cheap paints I got ages ago and a paint notebook and had some fun. Trying to paint and do more abstract things is kinda hard! Had fun though and it's a neat mini backdrop

I can officially declare myself the GO champion at work. I'm white both games vs the only other real competitor; rest of the group needs practice. Feels like I might actually get into it again with full 19x19 games now.

Finally complete with my first ever knight! Gonna base it still but super proud with how this turned out and how easy it is with the magnets to just swap things around. Size comparisons included for fun.

Honestly just quietly watching society collapse under the pressure of $80 switch games but I painted a neat gun today, so I think it all balances out. I think more gold was good for blocking, few more colors and I can darken and finish it up.
