Watched Return of the King a couple of days ago. Eowyn: “I am no man?” *Sticks sword in the place where the Witch King of Angmar’s face should be. WKoA: “But if an archaeologist found your bones in a thousand years time, he would say you’re…” This TERF edit was shit. 💅

I’m in Oamaru drinking a Trappist seasonal Belgian ale made about 1.5km down the road from where I am staying. It’s very nice.

Okay, I think the main thing I’m after the the Araknae-themed formation with the Bastion units. As a Raven Guard player, I tend to go all in on the attack and have tendency to leave my home objectives poorly defended.

Awww yeah.

Incoming shepherds pie pr0n. Just letting it cool and set a notch after I grated Pecorino Romano over the top.

The one fly in the ointment of my gaming at the moment is there is a shitty young angry, racist nerd in another group who can’t keep his voice down. He’s gonna be absolutely obnoxious when his incel AI girlfriend leaves him for Microsoft CoPilot or something. 💅

Starting the long haul of detailing the Warmaster.

A shot from the game today. I ended up with a narrow loss, but my Ravens sure looked good when they swooped in and shot up my opponent’s Titan.

The current state of my painted and finished Legions Imperialis Raven Guard. #LegionsImperialis #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

Every halfway crafted miniature, every stroke of real paint, real modelling is a victory against against the GenAI dirge that’s saturating our lives.

This new Knives Out movie looks shit.

I need a mood booster. What’s your favourite miniature you’ve painted lately? What are you truly proud of?

Plasma gun arms and secondary weapons.

I loved the old V2.0 Dystopian Wars and would love to give the new version a crack and Armoured Clash too. I haven’t seen a supplier in the North Antarctic (Aotearoa NZ) and I have wicked FOMO.

Enough of the bollocks, time to have at it.

After a weekend of vaccine ick and a pretty shitty week, I cannot wait to turn off from the world and start assembling my Warmaster Titan model (stock photo below). I made the decision to start this kit after needing something to perk myself up and now I’m itching to get going on Saturday morning.

Can’t see myself getting any painting done this weekend. I had a COVID booster and a flu shot this morning and I feel like crap with side effects. Thankfully no brain fog, but just fatigued and sore. Boo, I would have liked to get some more tiny support weapons done for my Legions Imperialis Ravens

Awww yeah.

Oh look. It me.

Some tiny Tarantula defence turrets to round out the weekend. #LegionsImperialis #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

I’m a bit tired today so just some light hobby. Tarantula defence guns, bases.

And they’re done. Tiny Contemptors protec! Pew pew pew!

Working on some more tiny Contemptor Dreadnoughts. Pew pew!

I can’t help but think I got a raw deal on a community for Warhammer: The Old World. I wanted to knock around, play some games, enjoy the narrative and then bounced off a tournament and the available community far more rules aggressive than me. I want to enjoy this game again.

To this day, I still occasionally get a game dev who follows me on this account for game dev content. (Inserted a random pic as a distraction.)

Frames…

Aaand we’re done. Today in “Corvus Corax has had enough of your shit,” four Fire Raptor gunships join my ever expanding Raven Guard collection. Thunderhawk for scale. #LegionsImperialis #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

Nearly done. Finish canopies, varnish, grass tufts and stands.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

I just ordered one of these. I didn’t really need that kidney. (It’s glorious and I’m gonna spend ages on it.)

They’re coming along. I’ll finish them next weekend. I’m in Aotearoa New Zealand so mine’s almost over (I struggle to paint during the week).

9/10ths of airbrush use is cleaning the thing.

“Not human meat. 100% roadki…” Jess from @mischiefmakers.studio gave me one of her 3D printed burger trucks from her forthcoming game, Burger Bois. Un/fortunately, the print was a bit flawed so I had to zhuzh it up somehow. I give you the Burger Truck of the Apocalypse.

Working on tiny planes and ignoring things. Pew pew!

I worked on a bunch of miniatures today but nothing worth showing yet to the outside world. Sometimes things are just slower and you don’t get instant gratification and that’s okay.

They’re conspiring to keep me poor, aren’t they? #LegionsImperialis #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

I land back in Dunedin then race home from the airport to watch the Warhammer roadshow thingy because I’m a nerd. That’s how it works, yeah?

Inside you are two Space Wolves. Their names are “Snorri” and “Ulrik.” #WarhammerHumour

Where we started and then when the aircraft started showing up. A nice win for me in the end, although my Titan was toasted. First turn in Legions Imperialis can be absolutely brutal.

Today’s 2000pts of Raven Guard and Legio Vindictus ally. Astartes Infantry Demi-Company, Aerial Assault Company and a Warbringer Nemesis Titan. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #LegionsImperialis

And that’s enough for today.

I’m feeling a bit down on the dumps, so I’m going to work on these counters for Legions Imperialis and mind my own business, I guess.

Legions Imperialis, great game, easy to fit in foam trays for storage and transport. And then… Titans. 😑 I created this problem. This, this is a me problem.

If I ever go missing, you’ll know what happened.

Post your grunts.

And this is Domina Victrix, Warbringer Nemesis Titan of Legio Vindictus, completely finished with the matte varnish and grass tufts. #WarhammerCommunity #LegionsImperialis #Nerdlings

And it’s finished with grass tufts and a matte varnish. Warbringer Nemesis Titan for #LegionsImperialis. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #AdeptusTitanicus

Hey everyone, I painted a Sons of Horus Predator tank! #warhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #LegionsImperialis

Current sitrep of the Warbringer Titan. All the leg armour is on and I have realised I need to mask and spray one of the armour plates I missed to balance the model visually.
