Account is all set up! Just in time for some noon open mat, then to spend the rest of this cold Sunday painting up some Squig Hoppers.

First order of business in the new home! Also the rabbit I've been having coffee with.

I finished them a few weeks ago, but my last finished unit was the Sneaky Snufflers. A #Jiu-Jitsu mate 3D printed a Moon Tracker for me as well!
Though I didn't participate, checked out my first tournament with a friend! The Midwest Conquest.

Knocking out some of the Scaventide box was a nice distraction, but back to my hooligans!

Today is my 2nd anniversary of returning to the Warhammer painting hobby, after taking a probably 20 year break!

What better way to celebrate than to post the first finished 'Gothcast Eternal' of a new army I'm making!

Two #AoS firsts for me! A battle plan from the General's Handbook as well as a Tzynch match up. Very knowledgeable and helpful player. Though my Squigs got their teeth kicked in, thanks to all the tips that was one of my best learning experiences! #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar

Trade-in of the decade came in this morning. I guess times really are desperate.

Tainan's passing is so smooth

Notice his grip behind the neck when he's trying to secure side and his pass, he picking Ronaldo's shoulders up to make inverting more difficult

Finished this John Blanche-style Ushoran for a painting competition at my local gaming shop. I'm really proud of how it turned out!
A miniature model of a monstrous, hunched, and ghoulish vampire king that is standing menacingly on top of a crumbling set of ruined stairs overlooking a lake of swirling blood. The ruin is littered with bones and debris, with the vampire's blood red cape and loincloth draped over the steps. Bright golden bangles hang from the creature's thin wrists as it holds a brilliant golden skeletal scepter in the crook of its long and corded arms. The creature stares at the viewer with beady, white eyes deep-set into a thin skeletal face, with a blood red gem embedded in its forehead and five bony spikes that protrude from its scalp, giving the impression of a morbid crown fused into its head. The creature wears several massive pelts over its hunched back, with gibbering skulls and screaming faces of the dead and insane tangled within the long and matted dark purplish brown fur. The model is extremely warm in tone, consisting majorly of off-white bone colors, blood reds, and vibrant orange and yellows for the golden adornments, with no blues or greens to be found. The coloration gives the impression of a cloying heat, an uncomfortable atmosphere of humidity born from the blood lake, with the smells of iron and rancid meat hanging ever present in the air.

Had the honor of playing against a beautifuly painted Sons of Behemat spearhead last night! It was great to finally see this army in action!

Big moves are tough and a grab bag of emotions. Though temporary, there are worse living situations than your best friends basement.

2v2 game of Floorhammer with the boys before I move. I can forgive the defeat, but my knees cannot.

The 40 Clanrat journey has begun! Starting off with the command models then will factory line 14 more so I have my two units of 10 for Spearhead.

Finished up my Forefathers themed Stormcast Spearhead! I've been packing to move, and it's been a great chance to make large strides on the Scaventide box rather than buying more Squigs.

Life has been busy prepping for major changes. Little time to post, but will always make the time to paint no matter how short. My Lord Veritant has since joined my "Forefathers" chamber and some Prosecutors are getting their color.

A recent favourite of mine! I painted this tropical-themed reverse mermaid for my spouse and now it basks gloriously on their desk

Fungoid Cave Shaman. Reached my first 1500 pt army with this one!!! Well... 1490. Fully painted and based.
Though I'm close, time to knock some real chunks off the Scaventide Box I've been mostly neglecting.

Finished the Lord Vigilant on Gryphstalker. The "Patriot" was on in the background when I started him infuencing the colonial theme. I guess my Ruination Chamber is now dubbed the "Forefathers".
