Recent hobbying: Trying to paint a dwarf blood bowl team for the local club league starting up next month, but I’m not excited by these models. Maybe because of the recent rules changes? Painted the dank manifestations and rebased 40 goblins instead!

Raiding my childhood to repurpose 4th edition archers/spearmen into 4th edition shootas/stabbas.

#warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #nerdlings
A wooden table with pile of warhammer miniatures, some roughly painted, most raw plastic. The left pile is night goblin archers, the right pile is goblin spearmen, both from warhammer fantasy battles 4th edition starter set. In front of them is a pile of round bases for the models. Geordi La Forge looking sad, with one hand held out in a “stop” gesture: “spending £100 on 80 gitz”. Geordi La Forge looking impressed, pointing in a “that’s right” gesture: “Spending £9 on round bases”.

My finished entry for @travellingmanuk.bsky.social #ageofpainttober : Tiger Marine stalking the forest. “But where are his stripes?” I didn’t want to risk ruining the best space marine I ever painted 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve had a bit of a shit month with work and health, so I’m VERY behind on this project, but I have a few days off now to end the month. Still needs stripes and a base but submitting what I have at the end of the day tomorrow. #ageofpainttober #warhammercommunity

Trying my hand at the @travellingmanuk.bsky.social #ageofpainttober challenge this year and here’s my mystery haul. I got a Space Marine intercessor… built so many of these for my blood angels army 😩 I was really hoping for an #ageofsigmar model!

Finished off my second unit of Rockguts. Inverted the blue/purple from the first unit. I dont think the palette is as good, prefer the higher contrast of the blue ones, but they look pretty neat side by side.

Screen cap from the Teletubbies wiki page that says “Dipsy is 8 feet tall and is green.” “8 feet tall” is highlighted. Screen shot from Veep of Vice President Selina Meyer with the caption “(laughing nervously) what the fuck?”

I finished painting my primal manifestations last night. Thought I’d knock these out pretty quickly but I got a bit fixated on the gnashing jaws - already nicknamed “joker teeth” at the lgc

Won two games of Age of Sigmar today. But there are always casualties in war (sat on my Boingrot Bounders). #ageofsigmar #WarhammerCommunity

Extremely tired of being bombarded by microsoft’s AI propaganda.
A microsoft windows 10 screensaver image. There is text over a beautiful rocky mountains landscape. The text reads “AI is helping create the ‘library of the future’ in Colorado.

My opponent didn’t have any wizards and Skraggrott really got to do what he liked, but I ended up having to sacrifice him towards the end to secure victory. #ageofsigmar #warhammercommunity

I finished painting these two at the same time a couple of weeks ago. Fungus and Mildew, my Dankhold Troggoths, neither of which is in my current army list! #ageofsigmar #warhammercommunity #gloomspitegitz #miniaturepainting
A warhammer minature Dankhold Troggboss, nicknamed “Fungus”. A giant bright pink troggoth (troll) brandishing a broken off stalagmite club in one hand and crushing a giant centipede with the other. A warhammer minature Dankhold Troggoth, nicknamed “Mildew”. A giant bright blue troggoth (troll) brandishing a club fashioned from the head of a dwarven statue clumsily lashed to one end of a tree trunk.

Didn’t get quite as much hobby time as I hoped this weekend, but I did finish off these rockguts and I love them.

Rockguts WIP and an incidental trans pride flag painted on my thumb, but we stand by it.
#warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz
Three rockgut troggoths (trolls) from the age of sigmar wargame painted with purple rocks, blue skin and pink soft bits (bellies, bums, noses and ears). The paint job is incomplete. A thumb with lines of paint splodged across it: pastel pink, baby blue and off-white. It looks like a child’s drawing of the trans pride flag.

Some more lil’ fellas I’ve painted recently: a huge squig mob and their grot handlers. They’re painted yellow and blue like chanterelle mushrooms and the blue north american variant!

The first models I painted were these death company marines for a blood angels army. An inverted colour scheme of the bisexual pride marine by @cerberusxt.bsky.social who inspired me to get back into the hobby. Hoping to one day have a full bi-pride 2000 point army.
#warhammercommunity
Five space marines with jump packs, chain swords and pistols. They are painted dark blue/purple/pink to match the bisexual pride flag.

Turning reading into a chore this year by setting myself the task of reading 12 books. One per month.

Then I shot myself in the foot when I decided it was time to re-read The Lord of the Rings, immediately failing my quota.
Two books side by side on a red surface: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Batman breaking a gun. He’s saying “This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it”. I’m referring to using Chat GPT, an AI tool to do a simple copy/paste job. A screenshot of the original post. All of the text has been highlighted and a tool tip offers “copy” and “select all options”. You could at this point copy the text and paste it into a spreadsheet.
