Continuing my vaguely Mycenae-inspired mdf terrain, I tried building a version of the Lion's Gate. #Terrain #MiniTerrain #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #Miniatures #Frostgrave

Page 6 happens to start with the first lines after the prologue of Oath and Memory. #Booksky #Writesky #Fantasy

Started thinking of this guy as "halberdude" (not to be confused with "halberdoodle," his hypoallergenic counterpart). #Minis #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Frostgrave #5Leagues

A strange traveler in a peaceful land treads between ruins, whose glory he alone recalls. #Terrain #MiniTerrain #Minis #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #Miniatures #Tabletop #Frostgrave #5Leagues

Cyclopean wall made from pieces of MDF. #Terrain #MiniTerrain #Minis #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #Miniatures #Tabletop #Frostgrave #5Leagues

Cyclopean wall has entered its gaudy phase. Eventually, the bright colors should become undertones in the stonework. #Terrain #MiniatureTerrain #Minis #MiniaturePainting #ModelPainting #Tabletop

I love worldbuilding* *imagining a place where everyone is nice to me

I had some mdf scraps in my workshop and thought I'd test making them into megalithic blocks for terrain. Roughed them up with sandpaper, a saw, and a chisel. #Terrain #Miniatures #Minis #ModelPainting #Frostgrave

Wrapped up a shop project I've been plugging away at. Improved miter cart for my new workshop space. Opens up to about six feet. I ceremonially cut the first two boards after pictures. #Woodshop #Woodworking #Carpentry #Diy

A sepulchral throne. Last one in the batch of terrain arrangements to get a sense of what I can do with the lightbox. #Terrain #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Tabletop

A quiet place in the shadow of the mountain. #Terrain #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Tabletop

Some more angles of the venerable dreadnought. It has a few pieces from other kits on it - a flamer greeble from the Contemptor and some Terminator/Paladin bits. #Minis #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #40K #Warhammer #Nerdlings #Tabletop #WarGames #Astartes #GreyKnights #SpaceMarines

The venerable Lord Galad leads his smaller brothers through the ruins of Tavrinus Secundus. (Finished painting the dreadnought my wife gave me for Christmas!) #Minis #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #40K #Warhammer #Nerdlings #Tabletop #WarGames #Astartes #GreyKnights #SpaceMarines

Grymar Bloodskull, disciple of Nerophet the Ancient One, glowers about the forest, as he reflects on the fact that he has never liked camping. Yet here he is... #Miniatures #MiniPainting #Terrain #ModelPainting #Frostgrave #Nerdlings #Tabletop #D&D

Really enjoying my photography setup with the bigger lightbox and some new backdrops. #Miniatres #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Terrain

Artemis II today.

A few works in progress. My dreadnought has all the base colors down now. And a few freshly built models, probably for 5 Leagues. #Minis #Miniatures #ModelPainting #MiniPainting #Tabletop #Wargames #40K

I do not want it on my phone. I do not want it in my home. I do not want it in my brain. I do not want its supposed “gain.” Not in a book. Not “take a look!” Not in my art. Not any part. I do not want it here or there. I DO NOT WANT IT ANYWHERE.

The Winter King, by Bernard Cornwell. It was much less like the Chronicles of Narnia than I was expecting. #BookSky

Similar minis painted about 2 years apart. Happy to see how much I've improved, particularly because I remember feeling like I'd hit my skill ceiling around the time I painted the first one. Makes me excited to see what I'll be able to do in another couple of years. #Miniatures #Minis #MiniPainting

Freshly painted bowman for 5 Leagues. Oathmark body with Perry arms. Oathmark's Light Human Infantry sprue is so good. It kitbashes really smoothly with other ranges. #Miniatures #Minis #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Nerdlings #Frostgrave #WarGames #Tabletop

I think this guy was my favorite of the old paintjobs I rebased. I can hear him belligerently shouting, "Come at me, young 'un!"

Dug out some of my earliest sprue builds, which I painted about two years ago. They were standing on black plastic, so I started basing a bunch of them to use as brigand NPCs on the tabletop. #MiniPainting #Miniatures #ModelPainting #Frostgrave #Nerdlings #Wargames #DnD #D&D

The #TransRightsReadathon is happening and I'd love for people to check out my work (I have a queer horror comedy and an epic fantasy). But honestly, just read a trans book--they're good for you! 🔥 steve-westenra.itch.io

Thanks for hosting! I have a book coming out! The Need for Dandelions is an MM Fantasy Romance about two men forced to work together despite their differences in the face of a crisis! Cover by @nooskadraws.bsky.social Preorder Links! 🌸⚔️ Uni link: books2read.com/u/meYkPE Itch: bit.ly/3N1RDWk

#SFFChat Thanks for hosting! I'm glad you're feeling better. I have a webpage: lionstoothpublishing.com It's not much, but there are some thoughts, it'll have news, there's a newsletter, what have you.

I hope lots of people read Out of Dark Waters! (This thought also terrifies me.) I suppose, I hope some readers find my work, whom it means something to. Even a fifth or sixth of what it meant to me would be great! For my current manuscript, I hope my wife likes the draft when I finish! #SffChat

I wrote Orin as borderline meta. He heard the songs and tales of heroes when he was young, which is another way of saying that, like me, he essentially read Dragonlance when he was a teenager. He wants to (subtly?) shape his little band of friends into a party of heroic adventurers. #SffChat

Hi! I write mainly high fantasy, sometimes a little horror, sometimes a little horror-fantasy. I feel like Bilbo Baggins would make a great traveling buddy. He's polite, considerate, and a good cook, but also curious and interested in new places. #SffChat

Sorting through my Miniatures folders, I found a few old paintjobs I took pictures of and forgot to post. (a) Wizkids Female Human Wizards, and (b) the chest that came with Wizkids Bronze Dragon Wyrmling. #Miniatures #MiniPainting #ModelPainting #Nerdlings #DnD

I love the implication that, while drunk-buying several swords, this person had the presence of mind to mount all of them on the wall before passing out.

I guess it has character?

I enjoy the hell out of my kobo plus subscription! At least half the indie books I read are on there with seemingly more being added all the time. I always check there first to see if something's available when I see someone talking about a cool indie book. Great alternative to KindleUnlimited!

If you see this, post a robot #Miniatures #MiniPainting

Even more designs for your feed.

Biologist ftw 🙂 #trenchcrusade #miniatures #miniaturepainting

Vander is a failed soldier and a broken man, as far as he’s concerned. The eldritch guardian of an unholy temple agrees. Can he overcome his past and his doubts, and the hunger of a whispering abomination? One way to find out... www.amazon.com/Out-Dark-Wat... #BookSky #Fantasy #FantasyBooks

Nice tutorial. Sort of a more refined version of the way I've been doing terrain washes. Going to have to give the spritz bottle a try. #Minis #MiniaturePainting #ModelPainting #Terrain www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTdm...

Stretching the premise of the prompt here...like a troll stretching the rib cage of its forebearer. #SffChat

I can't think of anything I've read recently that energized me as much as Bloody Rose. I've definitely raved about it before here, but that's because I really like it. I feel like it captures the wild energy of Kings, and shapes it with more discipline. #SffChat

I have this idea for a story set in the distant future, where a planet is kept in an artificial bucolic state and is reset (much to the woe of its inhabitants) whenever it begins to reach modern levels of technology. I guess it's more about preventing renewal... It also has magic robots. #SffChat

Impatient Nurglings tend to be a little rash

Another days gaming… first a game of #Pillage. The Saxons try to fight the Vikings over the Devils Hedge but were sent packing! Great terrain once again from @redmanphill.bsky.social

Kitbashed paladins, borrowing bits from HH kits and strike squad. Wanted to make them look more knightly, and visually distinct from Terminators. #GreyKnight #MiniPainting #Miniatures #Warhammer #40K

The glade is uncannily silent as the rangers slip between heaped ruins. At its center, they find a platform of red stone, which they dare not approach. #Miniatures #Minis #ModelPainting #Diorama #MiniPainting #Terrain #ReaperMiniatures
