I'm not envious. No. Not at all. Nope.

I meant to say the same about yours, but got too involved in myself instead!

Hope you don't mind, but we borrowed your coats from the munitorum.

Definitely. But, I've found that I get too invested and want to see a complete miniature and forget to leave things in pieces to make my life easier, later.
Instead, I might invent a series of bendy paintbrushes.

The best miniatures to paint are probably the ones you're most interested in! If you're not going to play, then it's all aesthetic. There's a few starter sets of paint, but the brush they come with is dire and you probably already have clippers for gunplay. Decide on your models first, then paints.

Really. For crying out loud, ship some people to a random little Dutch town centre and see how the bike lanes affect those. Fools.

Aye, but you put the hours in.

Have you ever taken a picture of the first and last signatures of the day to compare?
Signing a mortgage one page at a time was bad enough for me, I can't imagine what mess I'd make after signing so much.

Age old issue! I'm rather jealous of everyone who posts about having regular games with large groups. Seems like a bit of a luxury to have to decide on house rules for campaigns and stuff.
Still, the painting is fun.

Aaaand now I want to add a bear to a tank or two.
September 10, 2025 at 3:49 PM
I'm curious now. Why would you never play?
I ask, even though I know it's a pain finding people, time and impetus!

Oh, the glamour of the celebrity life!

This looks like such a clever design. Backed and I look forward to complaining at my printer when I want it to go faster!

I reckon even when someone that works at The Telegraph says something objectively correct, there's an ulterior motive other than truth.

In 2024, I decided to get back into painting after decades away from it to get me away from screens. Just a few paints, the required tools, a few miniatures. Swore to only have one box in the queue unpainted.
Current queue: sentinel, baneblade, cadians, kasrkin, field artillery.
Sigh.

Looking damn fancy! I just finished the same mini and had the whip pink as an undercoat for a strong yellow. I was tempted to leave it, since it looks rather good like that!
September 6, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Thanks very much! It was one of the first miniatures I painted since, well, decades away from it.
September 6, 2025 at 12:31 PM
That sounds sensible and good... what's the catch?

I'm of the strong opinion that having FemSM's would make 40K more cool. Female Astra Militarum, also cool. Not just special characters.

Sincerely, a middle aged, boring man.
