I just picked this up today and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The cover really speaks to me and I was wondering if there’d be a way to get a large print of it in a way that supports you as the artist? The composition, the use of colour and the redesign of Mechagodzilla are impeccable.

Just saw Alien: Director’s Cut at the cinema. A lot more trimmed down than I remember, I prefer the slower burn of the theatrical cut.
Few people look as hot as that one shot of Sigourney Weaver leaning in the cockpit chair with her foot on the monitor.
Space Jockey scene worth price of admission.

Tonight’s viewing: Freaked (1993).
Terrific prosthetic effects from Screaming Mad George and his team, Alex Winter is really entertaining, Keanu Reeves is a dog man and the whole thing has a fun absurdist energy, like a comic book you’d be given by your friend trying to gross you out.

I found what might be my dream job as a trainee in film conservation and restoration, made good progress with a cover letter for it, and on top of that I went round my sister’s to cat-sit last night, they’re perfect croissants.

Haven’t been posting any new models I painted this year so far, so here are the Ultramarines I painted this year so far - Roboute Guilliman, a Captain in Terminator Armour, and a five-man Sternguard Veteran Squad. #WarhammerCommunity #MarchForMacragge #spacemarine

Finished last night, my biggest single model project… a Land Raider Excelsior from Warhammer World! Got this in late March and it’s taken me months of work between other projects. #WarhammerCommunity #40k

Finished last night: Ultramarines Suppressor! Almost finished the Vanguard Task Force set, I’ve just got the Phobos Lieutenant and the last Eliminator.
At some point before the end if the year I’ll upload a picture of every mini I’ve painted this year all together.

Finished last night: the last of the Infiltrators from the Vanguard Space Marines set! Really proud of the edge highlights on these models, might end up getting the SM codex soon to play them on the tabletop. #40k #warhammer #spacemarine

Finished the other day: a Ballistus Dreadnought from Leviathan. I love big stompy walkers (I also have a Redemptor), it’s fun that you can get one of these in Helldivers. I have other models painted since I took this but you’ll have to wait until the whole unit’s done 😉 #40k #warhammer #spacemarine2

Finished last night: Primaris Captain with Relic Shield. From the 9e Indomitus box. This one's a strip and repaint, first painted it very early on in my time painting and by my standards now looked like shit, this looks better. Wish I had taken a 'before' pic to compare.

Some of my favourite Ork minis I’ve painted so far, I finished up the Trukk last night. I’d had the Trukk partly painted for so long and it was taking up so much space in the ‘built and unpainted’ drawer and I was on a roll with the others so I thought, let’s finish this while I’m at it.

Just finished: Warboss with Big Choppa - Orktober never ends! The first and only metal model I’ve painted so far and one of the models I got on my first trip to Warhammer World two or three years ago. #warhammer40k #waaagh #orktober #orks

Just finished: Ufthak Blackhawk - 'Brutal Kunnin' was one of, if not the first Warhammer novels I read, and it made me see the Orks in a whole new light. The contrasting perspectives are really effective and it's something Brooks would capitalise on in 'Warboss'. #warhammer40k #orktober #waaagh

40K units I painted this month - Marneus Calgar with his Victrix Honour Guard, and a squad of Necron Immortals
