Shoutout to that time I did a Daemon army for 40K, which featured this kitbashed Prince and this Forgeworld Keeper of Secrets (I did finish her base).

Hey #LegionsImperialis fam, How’s your scenery going and what have you done? Pics welcome. #Nerdlings

Just ordered some waterslide transfers so I don’t have to freehand arcane symbols on my Psi-Titan. Felt expensive as I’ve had to order them from the UK but the idea of freehanding them on my expensive model I also ordered from the UK was a layer of stress I don’t need in my life.

Starting on my Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan

Finished Aegis Defence Strongpoint formation. Or at least the backbone of it. #LegionsImperialis #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

Waiting for the camo netting I’ve added to my defence guns to dry so I can finish adding some brown patches on them just to break up the drab. PVA is taking an age to dry. And I finished a Command stand for my Aegis Defence Strongpoint.

Went to visit the nice old guys at the model engineering expo. It was objectively lovely.

8 Araknae weapons platforms before I mess around with bases and camo netting for them.

Back at the hobby table this morning working on some defence guns for my Legions Imperialis Raven Guard.

hey babe, what’s your sign

Sitrep: Punisher turrets assembled, quad mounts drying with Nuln Oil, quad autocannon turrets sitting in their box after being primed. South Island, NZ weather… wet.

And now…

And we’re done. GG everyone. Legio Vindictus walks! Here is my finished Warmaster Titan for #LegionsImperialis, Belacosa Herois. Also depicted; size comparison with the rest of the family, my Warmaster Nemesis Titan, Domina Victrix and some Raven Guard Marines for scale. #Nerdlings

Final fit and highlights on the Warmaster Titan before varnishing.

Breaking: Trans women now banned from miniatures painting competitions due to unfair advantages.* *We’re cute and people like us.

Base added and I’ve glued the torso to the pelvis.

GOOD. www.ign.com/articles/war...

After doing myself a minor injury today cleaning (I blame being in my 40’s) my mum is over from Australia and arrives tomorrow so it’s gonna be a bit quiet on the hobby stuff for the next wee while.

#LegionsImperialis people, am I hallucinating? There’s no official Acastus Knight Porphyrion model, yeah?

“Human artists, use only once piece to convince people to follow you!” I’m not sure if I’m an artist. I do tend to go for quantity as well as pushing myself for quality where I can, so one piece doesn’t really fit my ethos either. Human? You decide.

Where I’m finishing up today. I use an airbrush to attempt a plasma glow effect, I hope it comes through.

Warmaster Titan update: I’m fitting armour and finishing off detail.

Before anyone asks, no I’m not going to San Francisco in March for That Conference. One, I can’t, Tr*mp made my passport illegal. Two, fuuuuuuuuck that.

To Hell with your Hogwarts House. What’s your Horus Heresy era Legion?

Warmaster gantries and head, assembled and primed.

I’ve nearly finished the detailing and shading of the armour plates before I start fitting them.

This Titan is going to be the death of me. So much detail…

A shot of my #LegionsImperialis game today. Bloody brutal game with stuff blowing up everywhere. Played at 2500pts. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

And now, because I like making my life harder, prepping the armour plates in two batches. One for the base black of the Legio Vindictus scheme and the other for the white striped design I have going on.

Perhaps hard to see on the photo, but there’s sooo much detail on the Warmaster, every time I think I’ve got it all done, I find another piece. I’m just doing the cords and emplacements bronze and then it’s Nuln Oil for Liquid Talent(TM).

Back to the detailing of the Warmaster now that the festivities are over.

I’m reading The First Heretic in the Horus Heresy series, and Lorgar is indeed a whiny little bitch.

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.
