Mini of the month - deep one herald Entry 7 by @olliegross.bsky.social

Finished #CyberpunkCombatZone minis by @monsterfightclub.bsky.social. #nerdlings #minipainting

Gonna git gud at tiny lines and painting textures that aren't sculpted. Though I should have done a subassembly. #minipainting #nerdling #malifaux

Remember the dead. Fight like hell for the living.

Absolutely everything is better with Muppets. Especially the Grimdark Future of Warhammer 40k.

Credit for good customer service where it's due: I had an issue with a miniature being missing in a box of #cyberpunkred #combatzone from @monsterfightclub.bsky.social. They were responsive and made getting the issue fixed nice and painless. Thanks folks! #miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

What utterly unimportant advice would you give a previous version of yourself? Me? Don't buy a grey rug because you're going to take up wargaming and that shit is the same color. Now excuse me, I just dropped a skull I can't find. #MiniaturePainting #crafting #dumbpastme #nerdlings

Please consider supporting my old friend @savagesparrow.bsky.social's Kickstarter for her line of officially licensed Starfinder themed size and gender-inclusive apparel 10% of the sales of every Cosmic Creature dress post-campaign will go to The Trevor Project. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sav...

Not a bad result for a first try at the style. Caved and added liquitex bright aqua to the pallette. Tomorrow I'll punch up the neon saturation for the pink and neaten it all up. #minipainting #nerdlings #cyberpunkred

Okay, limited palette set. Let's see if I can hit synthwave and not clown fiesta. (In case of clowns I got the simple green on hand). #minipainting #nerdlings

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I would like more politics like this

It is very important to be effervescent in joy, to ward-off the easy, recursive path of despair.

Amazing MASH vibes on this terrain piece!

Everyone deserves to be able to have things they enjoy and plenty of food. Pay for that, not Gestapo.

The sheer chuzpah, the epicness of the troll, the expressions. No notes, chef's kiss. (For my international mutuals, this is a bit like giving a Manchester United jersey to a Liverpool fan

American Multiculturalism at its finest. I heard Baby Shark for the very first time tonight eating Taiwanese hot pot at a Vietnamese grocery thanks to the adorable Korean kid a table over. I genuinely love #America and our melting pot.

Last part of the #CyberPunkRed commission. Honestly, the sculpts on all of these have been about 25% dodgy (lotta mold slip or blurred detail) but they were still a fun time to paint. #Nerdling #MiniPainting

Madam, this is not what they mean by brushing your teeth. #Caturday #catsofbluesky

Plastic?!?! PLASTIC!?!?!!! Hell yes, I look forward to more, kitbashing is way easier in plastic. Now do the Iron Sultanate, plz. #TrenchCrusade #nerdlings

Best sign I've seen

I would rather stand in the ranks of an army of fuckups than desperately try to keep my place in a dwindling clique of angels.

Whelp, Suffs was a damned fine musical. Did not expect that much emotion or laughter. Filled with heavy big emotions #Suffs

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

The OIG wants what? Or it's prequel: You found how many?

2/3ds of a commission to do the Bozos from #Cyberpunkred complete. 6 more mostly not clowns to go. #nerdlings #minipainting #miniatures

Giving an exceedingly simplified process presentation to leadership. Pared to the minimal bone. Feedback?

Mini of the month - Why so negative? Entry 4 by @lupusamicus.bsky.social Devourer of Sanity and it's negative version. #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

I'm watching Kill Lupercal and *sigh* I get grimdarkness of the dark grim future but for the love of god, why must everything be nearly black on black on black? Give me some contrast please! I want to see the designs and goings on! #WarhammerCommunity

Uh LEGO, that is not an AT-AT that is a cat cat. #catsofbluesky #caturday #catsinboxes

Share your favorite black and white movie.

*giggle snort*

Bases done. And my limited palette scheme final sorted enough I can finish this #CyberpunkRed gang without it looking like an eyesore, while still being the best kind of gaudy. Working with really bright colors is kinda nice compared to grimdark 40k. #WIP #MINIpainting #Nerdling

If Sour Patch Kids are the baseline sour candy at 4/10, the ICEE Sour Gummy Bears are 1/10. It's faintly possible someone who has never eaten sour candy before will find them the slightest bit sour. #candy #disappointment #snackreview #sour

Today's Lesson in Anti-Fraud Work: if you are a DBA or analyst helping with data requests, ASK before you normalize data. I know, it hurts me too, but sometimes we really need you to NOT normalize data because the weird shit you're removing is a pattern we need. #FraudPrevention #DBA #data

I'm playing Clair Obscura @expedition33.bsky.social and it reminds me in the best, sad, existential, atmospheric way of Lost Odyssey. I'm somewhere in Act II and have almost minimal idea WTF is going on and it delights me. #videogames #rpgs

Found the fascist! It's nice when they self select out of my shopping list.

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

I'm an atheist but.. uh.. that's slightly more negotiable today...

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. In related news, I'm stuck in office for a meeting with a vendor and leadership. Again.

I generally intend to keep this feed focused on the positive things we're doing, but sometimes there are important things that should be done to protect each other. If you are a UK citizen or resident, please do sign this petition.

Hooray! Its that time again! #CraftingForHope2025 is live! Do hobby things for fun, prizes, and to support an excellent cause! #Minipainting #Hobbying Details can be found here -

I have found a new form of hobby hell. Two shades of white, warm and cold, directly next to each other. And only a small amount of red. #Wip #cyberpunkcombatzone #nerdling

Test base for #CyberpunkCombatZone figs. Simple, neon, simple. #minipainting

Welcome to Pride On Parade! This is a solidarity & fundraising project in support of young transgender people, initially in the UK because that's where I live :) If you'd like to get involved in any way, or if you'd just like to show off your Pride-themed minis, that'd be awesome! Outline here:
