Time to return to this prototype. A few changes I want to make but I think the concept is solid. Magnet slot works perfectly and the front facing relief makes those stripes look crisp. #BattleTech #PaintingMinis

I managed to get the @mtgsecretlair.com Goblin Storm deck as a birthday gift for my wife and they are gorgeous. Our first #mtg purchase ever and we may be addicted to paper crack now.

Some glamour shots of my Tempestus Scion Command Squad (featuring the Taurox Prime). I continue to push myself and am quite happy with my progress as a painter. New to me techniques: NMM, Gradients, Fine Details. #Warhammer40K #PaintingWarhammer #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingMinis #TheAstraMilitarum

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live: Jethro Tull Rush Ghost Ne Obliviscaris Eluveitie After the Burial Fit for an Autopsy Rivers of Nihil Archspire Necrogoblikon

What does your paint palette look like right now? Here is mine after wrapping up my Tempestus Scion Command Squad (photos pending). #PaintingMinis #PaintingWarhammer

It's been a busy week in a good way and I finally had some time to paint, so here's a WIP. Plenty left to do, but he and his squad are coming together. A dozen things I want to do better next time, but I'm happy with the improvements I have made. #PaintingMinis #Warhammer40K #PaintingWarhammer

Stripping paint off this 20 year old TimberWolf, the first #BattleTech mini I ever bought and long before I had any idea what I was doing. How should I paint this classic sculpt? #PaintingMinis

🫠 #PaintingWarhammer #MiniPainting

First of 5 in my Tempestus Scion Command Squad "complete" (sans basing). I improved on multiple techniques, so I'm super happy with this little guy. Now to clean up my lining 🫠. #Warhammer40K #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #MiniaturePainting #TheAstraMilitarum

youtu.be/RhiZFWPF_FI I did a thing. First video in a bit, just a little something to get back into the swing of things. #MiniPainting #Warhammer40K

I've been trying to push myself, lately. This was my first attempt at NMM, done using a Tempestus Scion flag. Plenty to improve on, but I'm quite happy with my first go. #Warhammer40K #MiniPainting #TheAstraMilitarum

It's been a rough 5 months, but I'm finally back to painting! What better way to re-acclimate than painting something (mostly) by the book? I'm really happy with how this Taurox Prime came out. #Warhammer40K #WarhammerCommunity #Miniatures #MiniPainting #MiniaturePainting #TheAstraMilitarum

A tragedy has occurred this day.

Printed and painted this back in December as a gift for my spouse. Princess Mononoke is one of our favorite movies, so it only made sense. The arrow is delicate and snapped, so hopefully it will get a reprint soon™️. #miniaturepainting #minipainting #3dprinting

If you see me wearing a shirt for some fandom (music, game, show, etc.), know that I DO want you to talk to me about it. Just understand that I will NOT remember what shirt I'm wearing and I will have to look at it like an idiot to remind myself before responding.

Just as my basement repairs wrap up and my hobby space becomes available once more, my septic tank backs up and ruins everything again! Completely different cause this time. 🫠

It's cool, RAM market. I didn't want to build a new PC for Christmas/my birthday anyways.

I'm not usually so locked into a genre but it's been that kind of year.

Get in loser, we're going to Proxima Centauri! If you see this, post your getaway vehicle...

2 weeks without my hobby space due to insurance related repairs. I finally get to start moving things back in today, but damn there's a lot of little things to move. 😮‍💨

Someone clipped one of my videos over 2 years ago and I only just now found out. Good job youtube notifications! youtube.com/clip/Ugkx87g...

#WIP I Wasn't planning on working on a Sentinel, but had a paint day with a friend and wanted to try something new, so I experimented with some cold weather camo. Not sure how I like it. Yet, But I'll wait until it's done to pass judgement. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #Guardvember #Miniatures

A friend was having trouble with their Agrellan Earth technical paint, so I did a few experiments and made a short about it. Despite setting a thumbnail, Youtube has decided to instead spoil a joke within 😅 youtube.com/shorts/tPEIK...

I finished the test scheme for my Erzdrie regiment. Here's a comparison of a fully shaded and highlighted Cadian next to one that just has base colors. What a difference, even at my average skill level! #Warhammer40K #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #Miniatures #Gaurdvember #AstraMilitarum

Spent an hour just redoing the subtitles for a video because YouTube's auto-generated subtitles aren't great. I think I need to go through the rest of my (mercifully small) backlog and do the same over the next few weeks. Accessibility takes work.

The short I posted this morning outperformed my latest 2 videos in combined watch time after just 6 hours. It's 1/10th the length and took 1/20th the effort. I know shorts are a different beast from standard videos, but it amuses me. Maybe one day I'll understand YouTube, but it is not this day. 🫠

Trying something new. I made a short comparing my static grass applicator to a simple sieve. youtube.com/shorts/LsHYp... #TerrainBuilding #TerrainCrafting #Terrain #Miniatures

Pinterest has fully succumbed to the dead Internet theory. Just trying to find a recipe to bake and the first ~20 results were ad-riddled, AI generated "articles". It really is a race to the bottom.

#WIP || My Cadian Shock Troops have been keeping me company when I just need to relax and throw something on the TV. Base colors done using my Erzdrie Regiment Green and Grey. Detailing is next. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #AstraMilitarum #MiniaturePainting #Miniatures #Nerdlings

New video up detailing how I modified my Ork Kommandos to give them a little Beast Snagga flair. Part 2, the Paintening, is well underway. #Orks #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #KitBash youtu.be/I6QF9gQX_d4

I think picking music might be the hardest part of producing a video.

I don't know why, but something about doing skin details before blocking out the rest of the colors is really satisfying, like it's giving me a glimpse into the finished model. It's not perfect, but I can feel myself getting better. #Orktober #Warhammer40K #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting

Focus Friday. Finally have some time to dedicate, so let's get some paint on these boyz! #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #Orktober #Orks

Friends don't let friends assemble minis before cleaning mold lines. I knew it would suck. "But it will be manageable," I thought. I wanted to get those models on the table for a tutorial game FAST. Now I am reaping what I sowed. It's so much worse post assembly.

If you use Pinterest, make sure to go into your recommendation setting and turn all the GenAI recommendations off.

I haven't had as much time to work on this as I'd like, but I think it's time to move on to painting (after some mold line cleaning). Each Kommando Boy now has something to Beast Snaggafy them, some more than others. The Nob even has this awesome new claw! #Orktober #Orks #Warhammer40K #KitBash

The Snaggafication of my Kommandos is well under way. Slasha Boy worked hard for that hide, of course he's going to wear it. Pay no head to the mold lines. They'll be gone before priming. #Orktober #Orks #BeastSnaggas #Warhammer40K #KitBash

Kommandos + Spare Beast Snaggas Bits = ? The Kommandos kit is fantastic, no notes, but I'm going to tweak them a bit to get a little extra cohesion with my Beast Snagga Orks. Maybe I can even paint them up before #Orktober ends! #KitBash #Ork #BeastSnagga #Warhammer40K

Just some glamour shots of the simple scatter terrain I made during this past weekend's video. They may just be rocks, but they're my rocks! #TerrainCrafting #MiniatureTerrain #MiniaturePainting #DnD

I've done it! I've posted my first video in... A year and a half? I'll come up with excuses later. Right now I'm making rocks. Yes, ROCKS! youtu.be/jiIVx2cmxjI #tabletopterrain #terraincrafting #miniatures

As a GM, have you ever had your players cancel the day of a session only to then feel unexpected relief as you realize you weren't emotionally ready to run a session anyways? #dnd #ttrpg

I'm convinced War of the Worlds 2025 was a cooperative PSYOP between Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. to convince people that only they can be trusted with our data. That's as objectively wrong as the movie is objectively terrible.

The best way to figure out what works for you is to try it. Today I'm experimenting with basing, static grass vs tuft and turf. I think it's a real "Both? Both is good." situation. Which do you prefer? #MiniaturePainting #TerrainBuilding #MiniatureTerrain

Last WIP before I finish these, because they have a date with the table tomorrow. I know they're just scatter terrain rocks, but I'm legitimately excited with how they are turning out. #TerrainBuilding #Terrain #MiniatureTerrain #ItsARock

WIP 2 for my scatter terrain. What a difference a little sand and some pebbles make. On to color! #TTRPG #Terrain #TerrainBuilding #MiniatureTerrain

Just a WIP photo of my little scatter terrain project. Something simple to get back into the swing of things. #TTRPG #Terrain #TerrainBuilding #MiniatureTerrain

Finally got my resin printer up and running again, and my first print is a prototype hex base to meet some of my personal wants. A few details to work out, but I like it thus far. Slot for 10mm disc magnets, anyone? Warhammer for reference only, official CGL plastic. #BattleTech #3DPrinting

This Warhammer was ready for parade, but it found a fight instead! I think it's time to invest in some more decals. #BattleTech #MiniPainting #PaintingMiniatures #Miniatures

Have you ever applied a gloss varnish when you meant to apply a matte varnish? 🥲

A couple of closeups from yesterday's post showing off some alternative skin tones. I think the dark blue ended up being my favorite. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40K #MiniPainting #PaintingMiniatures #Orks #BeastSnagga
