Barely social mini painting goblin joining the exodus.
Thank you! At this point it's 20+ years of practice, at LEAST 15 years of dodging genetics (how do I STILL not need glasses???), and most importantly; taking chances on trying things I'm not sure I can do!

Of course one of the factions is the Shogunate and Bushido with an undercurrent of 1930s and 40s Empire of Japan.

I'd bet the Capellan Confederation, led by house Liao, (including Sun-tzu Liao) with not drawing on as well known of references has MUCH better "excellent" representation in it.

The Combine feels like low hanging fruit in a game from the 80's where half the initial mechs were licensed from anime, the POV warriors are described in knight imagery, the standard form of government is LITERALLY neo-feudalism, and economies are based around mega-corps.

Alrighty then! Bases for 2 options procured and conversion work begun! Rain & Emily on Halloween N years after the dragon HRT storyline, and Kaminari inspired adventurer Rain.

I also do not draw, however I do paint minis...

Now the question is do I paint up our girl Rain as another ref-mech, a fantasy heroine, a sci-fi heroine, or big ol' dragon?

Glad to hear the rest of your coworkers and management have your back!

I see it, and one of the devil's on my shoulders is doing their best Palpatine... But I think the cranium will remain MIA as I move on to en-fleshening the gaps.

Good news: I know I HAVE some mech bits.

Bad news: where ARE they?

Other news: not what I meant when I said "this is gunna get... Messy." But at least the bits bin is finally getting (roughly) sorted!

Crossbow "Pumpkin Chuckin'" from last year's goal of 31 spoops and or pumpkins in October.

I can neither confirm nor deny that all missile warheads have been filled with cans of mashed pumpkin in association with the pumpkin advisory board for the upcoming monthly games...

Props/blame on the wonderful lady at the FLGS that started paint and hang. She suggested witches tartan for the Northwind Highlanders lance when I mentioned I didn't have any plans for how to paint them while checking out.
