Extra Life spotlight... Why #ExtraLife @extralife4kids.bsky.social and @sickkidsvs.bsky.social ? Please take a moment to read Mike's story about his daughter, Kaylee: www.extra-life.org/participants... We will see you on stream on Saturday.

I don’t know why I chose violence—I mean “non-metallic metal” #NMM for this. #Warhammer40K “Sword Master” #Guilliman because apparently building shouldn’t be the hardest part of miniatures.

Even in death… I am annoyed with this model. Difficult to build, doesn’t fit together well, and painting the #Warhammer40K Redemptor has been a pain. It is worse than the Ballistus. #Salamanders better appreciate this…

It’s not always about the game, but it’s always about hanging out with friends. Dinner after our monthly #dungeonsanddragons #ForgottenRealms game with Ed, @rhysyorke.bsky.social, @swordcompass.bsky.social, and @gm-meeple.bsky.social.

We are inching closer to the release of "Souls for the Taking" by Ed Greenwood and @rhysyorke.bsky.social on @dmsguild.com! You can sign up to receive a PDF copy using the link forms.gle/Aaro92u16SeB... and be entered to draw for launch day prizes! Welcome to the #ForgottenRealms!

I don’t have a #Dreadnought problem… YOU have a Dreadnought problem! …no YOU! #Warhammer40K #SpaceMarine

Get the complete #HEXTECH set with HPG dice tower for the ridiculous City Mat: thunderhead-studio.com/products/hex... and you can even try out some new buildings for free! Thunderhead Studio: Not just phallic buildings!

Now with gloss varnish! Oils and decals next on this #Warhammer40K Ballistus Dreadnought before matte down and doing metals. I’m impatient though, I should not have assembled it for a photo—there are fingerprints everywhere.

That is definitely not an Alpha Legion #Warhammer40K Ballistus, it is definitely #Ultramarines blue. I added a second Forgefiend to my Crusade list, so this one gets magenta, turquoise, and highlight from @thearmypainter.bsky.social.

More #Ultramarines possibly for my #Warhammer40K Crusade army. Unfortunately—even following instructions from their support department plus heating the can—the @thearmypainter.bsky.social rattle can primer left a texture. I just painted over it. The undercoat colour is lovely though.

We needed more terrain and we got a #Bambu X1C recently for the office, I have been painting terrain pieces for our #Warhammer40K Crusade boards. I don’t particularly like painting terrain—rattle cans help—but I find making the OSL cracks pretty enjoyable.

It been a while since I painted #miniatures so I felt the need to rush these out—forgetting that I am not adding them to my #Warhammer40K Crusade roster yet. #Ultramarines… or something else. I need a good magenta rattle can to save some time…

I was not able to run my “Ultramarines” in our first Crusade session over the weekend. Definitely annoyed, I spent a lot of time preparing the campaign and my minis.

Here are some of the #Warhammer40K #GreyKnights that my business partner and I have painted for our studio army. Our first joint army for the office…

Hobby catchup. #Warhammer40K for my “Ultramarines” and #AgeofSigmar model I painted for a #DungeonsandDragons game (which I started a long time ago and wish I could redo the whole thing).

Back to painting! Starting colours for “Bladeguard” Possessed for my “Ultramarines” Crusade Force. Going to skip a few steps (i.e. edge highlights) to get them done for the first game as I still need to finish a “Techmarine” and Predator.

Check out this week's Hobby Hangout on our Instagram! www.instagram.com/ca... We want to be able to bring it to Bluesky, but until we can get over that technical hurdle, check out the Hobby Hangout over there. Here are some awesome previews of what was featured this week!

They dragged me away from my miniature painting for this? On #vacation this week, I hope everyone has good one!

#Warhammer40K Armiger Venomcrawlers can operate without a head. Clearly. I was having issues choosing a head and with basing, so a couple points still to fix.

Even after varnish, I managed to chip the magenta shell, so I decided to cover them with squiggles. #Warhammer40K Armiger Dune/Venomcrawler coming along (though it doesn’t match the rest of the army scheme).

Modelling for advantage. The #Warhammer40K Venomcrawler—I mean, Armiger Dunecrawler—gets a lift.

Fighting with black armour again. This time it was the paint that was leaking and misbehaving and there is splatter everywhere. This #Warhammer40K Chaplain has been assembled and primed for a long while.

Oops, I forgot to include a second angle for the #BattleTech Annihilator. The colour does shift around a bit depending on light.

Trying something random for the #BattleTech Annihilator for my #BellumAeternus Mechs. I need the Mech to counter my son cheating when we play #AlphaStrike.

Should pads! Heroes World announced a #Warhammer40K #Saturnine painting contest and I have been watching www.instagram.com/josedavinci88/ for over a week now to attempt his method, my first time weathering and painting scratches. Still quite a bit to go, but I think I made good progress today.

I think I built my Forgefiend wrong. Another proxy model for my #Warhammer “Ultramarines”. I am not as proficient with vehicles, volumetric highlights are not very interesting on flat panels.

Practice for an upcoming project… I was looking for a @thearmypainter.bsky.social Speedpaint to use and practicing with new enamels for preshade, but the brush was fighting me for the edge chipping the #BattleTech Orion. It feels a little flat, maybe some red shadows…

More “Ultramarines”! I am planning to play these during our upcoming #Warhammer Crusade campaign, but I have several more proxy and kitbash units to go, up from my original planned points. I have some new ideas for a Daemon Prince…

Even in fancy armour they’re still a Cultist Mob. Proxy units for my definitely-not-Alpha -Legion #SpaceMarines. I do t know why I used a metallic preshade instead of normal white…

Frustrated. I was fighting with blue paint and the airbrush tonight because I wanted to switch the tone and saturation for my “ #Ultramarines ” Librarian, instead of using the recipe I used for the rest (see #SpaceMarine Captain).

Battle Ready and finished for now. #Warhammer Judiciar #SpaceMarines for the Emperor! (Or for the Alpha Legion.) Not my most meticulous work, but it is ready for the table rather than sitting on the #painting desk.

It was five years ago this day that we launched Exploring #Eberron by @keith-baker.com on @dmsguild.com Thank you to all that purchased, shared, and reposted throughout the years to keep us going. We appreciate your support and we hope you like the things we have coming up...

Work in progress on a Judiciar (or Master of Executions). Tried something new with the sword but didn’t work out, and black armour recipe not quite there. For this #Warhammer Chaos #SpaceMarine army, disguised as “Ultramarines”, hardest part is matching and differentiating between units.

Fun model build, took a while to get painted, but #Warhammer Ballistus #Dreadnought in #Salamanders colours painted and getting ready for basing. I think I should have kept a bit more satin varnish instead of matte. Paints @thearmypainter.bsky.social of Fanatic Dark Angel and Greenskin.

Work in progress #Warhammer #Dreadnought. I’ve been sitting on the built and primed model for a while now, undecided on how to paint it. It is also generally out of stock, so much harder to source a replacement.

Eggcited for breakfast? Happy birthday Ed!

Sneak preview of the new #dungeonsanddragons #ForgottenRealms title coming to @dmsguild.com this fall!

Not quite the right green power weapons for my not-Ultramarine #Warhammer40K #SpaceMarines. Painted over twice before, so they’ll do for now. Might need a different highlight green…

Trying out the new #Gundam #Assemble #Tallgeese on the paint table. My greys all dried up, so I had to use white. (Don’t paint white with white!) Size comparison #SpaceMarine.

New character for a video @visionarypnd.bsky.social will be test shooting next week. Didn’t think about a name for the #BattleTech #Urbie yet… Mostly @thearmypainter.bsky.social paints. Might add some antennae later, the pin vice is in the office.

Quick test paint using the same formula for the #BattleTech #MadCat as I did for “Ultramarines” doesn’t quite work. I needed a darker blue layer before the midtone, I think. All #paints @thearmypainter.bsky.social. I’ll finish it later…

Oops, I did not link any social media, but apparently my #BattleTech #MadCat got picked up for this week! www.instagram.com/p/DL7gpUbsjI...

Starting on more #Warhammer Outremarines, but I need to learn new army rules. #Magenta is a great undercoat colour.

Steve is nagging at the universe's unanswered fruit-related questions again. Stop it, Steve. It's a fruitless endeavour. #SteveThoughts

Let the #BattleTech games begin! #HEXTECH on the table for a legendary #AlphaStrike showdown.

The newest #Warhammer40K #Ultramarine that I’m painting with my son. Definitely not Alpha/Omega Legion…

My first ever #Warhammer40K #Ultramarine and the latest, separated by 2 years of #painting experience.

“Pull yourselves together! Why is it so dusty in here?” Really busy with projects right now, no time to build #Warhammer40K. (This took me two days.)
