I’ve been neglecting this account and need to do better - who will I be seeing at Nova Open 2025?
Photo tax is the cross stitch project I’m working on to get me in the zone to work on my Capital Palette entry.

Finally found where the 2nd iteration of Jes Goodwin Terminators comes from, Vifam 銀河漂流バイファム wear-puppet power armor that gives a hunch backed appearance as the pilot's arms are in the chest area.

Finally started working on my Nova Open Capital Palette stuff!
I might have posted about this mini a while ago but I found it at a secondhand shop in Akiba and it's just such a badass sculpt - white metal and resin from the early 00s.
Still a long way to go but feel good about the shape of things.

Last week I wrapped up two more minis for Roles For Initiative improv D&D show at Tokyo Comedy Bar.
To the left is tiefling cleric Tesla Cybertruck, & to the right is... an actual Cybertruck that served as a setpiece for May's event.

Back blades / crests are a very cool look for Warhammer 40k's Dark Eldar Incubi and Age of Sigmar's Askurgan.
They're drawing from a martial arts fantasy theme, Buddhist statues often have carved mandorlas that way. There's also records of samurai armor having such bladed, antlered back crests

Catching up on posts but recently painted my ratling warpblaster - really tried to push myself to go for table ready but still looking good and I think I succeeded with a combination of OSL and lots of grimy washes.

Warhammer Store & Cafe Tokyo just announced new rules for the play tables and paint stations. A bit annoying but fair; honestly the fact that they're adding a reservation form is a win.

#WIP on minis I've made the most progress on for my project.
Still not confident in my skin tones on the human rogue... they look kinda there but I always get the sense that my color progression is missing something. Happy w/ the dragonborn chef though!

Round 2 will be on April 22 at 8PM EST, and for some reason they're teasing more 'news' related to this later this week, I assume related to the hotel block.
Tabletop.events completely shat the bed and Nova gave up after 90 minutes and told everyone to come back another day, which means we're going to have a round 2. Womp womp.
The NOVA Open guys really need to jack up their cloud instance on the day that tickets open because, it's just not functional at all.

An absolute thrill to meet Borja Calvo Bertrán De Lis and see his Slayer Sword-winning piece at #Warhammer Cafe Tokyo.
He was incredibly generous and spent an hour talking shop with a few of us. Super inspiring and really left me eager to test myself at Golden Demon next year.

Oh yeah these came out phenomenally. Just need to do highlights and patch-ups here and there, take off some of that shine with a topcoat, stick'm onto bases, add some dirt and boom these rats are ready for war. #warhammer #ageofsigmar #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #minipainting #skaven

After weeks and weeks of delays and procrastination I oil dipped my 40 clan rats and they look pretty good!
Leaving them out for a few more hours and then I’ll bring them in for cleanups, highlights and basing.
