Really happy with the progress I’ve made on this dude. The base will have to wait until I’ve got a unified theme for my World Eaters warband

It’s starting to come together, feels good to be enjoying the hobby again.

Painting again for the first time in months, it feels good to be back in a mood where I can do so!

So I’ve been in a hobby rut where I haven’t felt much like painting or assembling in a while, I hope to find my way back again. But in the meantime I‘ve been playing games and I’m mostly through my first run of RE 9 and I love it so much, the perfect mixture of tense and scary (and silly, ❤️ Leon)

I'm completely in love with this little guy #minipainting #warhammer #warhammer40k #squiglife

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times

I have finished the Link’s Awakening remake, it was an absolute delight!

I hate my state so much right now

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

I’m super late to it but the Link’s Awakening remake is super charming and delightful!

Bought the Merfolk precon from the last Ixalan set, because I’d been wanting to upgrade my merfolk deck for a while and this seemed like the path of least resistance way to do it. Pulled this banger from the sample booster, it’s a definite include!

One space marine left in my introductory box, then I’m onto the tyranids. Are they harder or easier to paint? #warhammer40k #miniatures #minipainting #warhammer

My favorite album of theirs, an absolute classic.

The stew is delicious, and I’m glad I started it last so I can enjoy it now!

Got a stew going in the crockpot, that I will enjoy on my day off tomorrow! Time for some cozy fall foods. ❤️

I recently got a Bambu A1 combo printer, and I am super excited about the possibility of printing bits and accessories for customizing my Warhammer mans, like actual World Eaters pauldrons for my terminators, instead of the generic ones they came with. Will I succeed? I dunno, but I want to try!

Making some headway on my kitbashed tervigon, and I’m happy with the progress. Still a lot to go, and it’s gonna be a bit before it’s actually glued together and not held by sticky tack!

Decided to take a secret third route to what I’d originally planned, greenstuff part of a hind leg and cut off the attached bits from the psychophage leg, & put some bits under the sac to prop it up more and have the weight resting on that. Also magnetized a pair of the scything and crushing claws.

Got some painting started on my neurolictor, and played more Ball x Pit. Going to have ramen for dinner, while watching the @luckybun.bsky.social vid on Silent Hill, which is a definite recommend. An overall great start to the week!

Here it is with the two sets of scything claws. If I glue the birthing sac to the base that’s load bearing enough. It’s a bloated beast, so it dragging itself through the terrain wouldn’t be out of place to me.

First time working with green stuff to turn some bits into a tervigon. Front legs are held with sticky tack for now as they’re not actually attached, just so I could get a sense of the thing once finalized. Was going to use 2 sets of claws for the torso, but one primed one is sorta load bearing

Will post pics when I’m further along, but I’ve done more work on the Norn and one of the Tyrannofex, and then primed the rest of the Tyranids I intend to paint (sorry 40 last termagants of my 120, you will remain on sprues for now).

Made a ton of progress on my Norn Emissary, I can’t wait to see this completed!

Made some progress on one of my Tyrannofex, looking forward to doing more tomorrow. It’s been nice to be productive again.

Such a dreary, rainy day outside, and it looks like a high possibility of rain for the next week. Glad I got my priming done when I did. Gonna finish my morning coffees, and tackle some big bugs!

Sub-assembled my other Tyrannofex, and primed it and the other big bugs I’d gotten ready the other day. Today was gorgeous outside and I wanted to make the most of it. Can’t wait to paint these bugs up!

Got a norm emissary and one of my two tyrannofex in sub-assembly ready to prime. While the weather has been nice I’ve been trying to get a few more minis sub-assembled so I can prime a bunch at once, and then I can get back to painting while binging shows.

First playthrough of Silent Hill F done, that was fantastic. Looking forward to a subsequent one for additional documents and context, as I’ve read NG+ changes some things that aren’t available in the first playthrough.

I cannot stress enough how much Silent Hill F rules. I’m like eight hours in and I’m loving it so much. What a banger year for gaming.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

I’m so glad I got one of those magnifying headlamps for painting, as my eyes are not quite what they used to be!

Looking forward to doing all the detail and non-purple colors now!

Took the advice of a friend and downloaded the citadel paint app to actually inventory what I had instead of relying on my memory. There was only one I’d had an unintentional repeat of though, so that’s pretty good for me.

Gave zenithal priming a go for the first time, with some minis from the Dawn of War: Onslaught box. Looking forward to painting them for my custom chapter!

Cat took a mozzarella stick off of my plate, which understandable. Everyone loves mozzarella sticks.

Undertale

So I feel very strongly that there aren’t enough good resources to tell people what mobile games are actually fun and not just a Delaware corporation lunging for your wallet and I’m going to start a thread. Sam’s IOS Game Thread START:

In the 2nd edition D&D campaign I’m in, a few of us drew from the deck of many things. I drew the card that gave me 1d4 wishes, of which I got 1. Still a great outcome given all the things in the deck. Carefully worded it so my stats would all be 18s. I’m sure I could have done something (c)

My LGS had packs of Fallen Empires Magic the Gathering for $5, and I bought one for nostalgia’s sake. I bought so many of these as a kid, along with Homelands. I know it’s not good, but dang if this doesn’t bring back memories of begging my mom to go to my LGS after school to get a pack.

As someone who has listened to some of these podcasts for over a decade (started with WOFF, Bonfireside Chat, and Abject Suffering) let me wholeheartedly recommend them and the network! Great group of hosts passionately talking about things they enjoy, with intelligent criticism of what they don’t.

Writing up a new character backstory for a AD&D 2E campaign I’m in, after my last one (& most of the party) died from the 1% chance of being telefragged into the ground. This is maybe the most effort I’ve put into something in a while, since I’d just winged it over the 3 years I’d played her.

So glad I have a reason to repost my video:

Opened up my original softmodded Xbox and checked the capacitors. None were bulging, and the clock capacitor wasn’t leaking, but I still removed it as I didn’t want to worry about it later (and pre 1.6 consoles work perfectly fine without it). Glad I knew where my torx bits were.

I made a mouse meme sickos version for our discord: Squeakos

Last night I dreamt about making the best pancakes ever and dang do I want some pancakes right now. Little late for any of that as I’m heading to sleep, but there’s always tomorrow!

Hooray for food poisoning, got it coming out of both ends at the same time and I feel like hell. At least my cats will comfort me with soothing sounds of knocking stuff over.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees by Patrick Horvath is a delight of a graphic novel murder mystery with Richard Scarry-esque talking animals. A+, much recommended, available on Kobo.

Today had some lovely weather outside, so I got some War Dogs primed up. Now to actually figure out some sort of color scheme for them!
