Almost ready for our family's yearly festival of #MiniaturePainting Player 1 has chosen to build. Their #NextLevel gold dragon's in front. Everyone else will paint. Player 2 opted for a #40K termagant ("I want the raptor one") Player 3 picked an #OnePageRules #Saurian chameleon #Nerdlings

Practice game of #BloodBowl #Sevens to try and get the rules down so it doesn't bog down so much when I play with the kids. Combination of RNG, my inexperience, and my unconscious bias have not helped the Imperial Nobility. Am I imagining things or are turnovers super frequent? #Nerdlings

Eldest cutting her first model from a sprue. She doesn't want to clean mould lines but I covered that as my contribution. Four cleaned models waiting for her to assemble sometime this week. Then we game. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

At eldest's request, we play tested and refined our #Talisman house rules for running games in hours rather than days. Super pleased to play at child's request. Hoping to build on this while it lasts. #BoardGames #Nerdlings #Family

Missed my "play on Sunday" deadline but have a #BloodBowl team built for my daughter to play against my #Undead. 🧟‍♀️ Didn't have them ready to play this weekend but we'll be ready for next weekend. Plan to play #Sevens until we're solid on the rules. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

Moved forward the #BloodBowl #Undead this #WIPWednesday Shades on skin for mummy and zombie and base coat on bandages. #Nerdlings #WarhammerSocial

Friday I needed some low stakes painting so cleaned up the base coats on the space bug and space marine. Now I'm overthinking on "what thoughts run through their little heads?" I'm honestly more scared by what's likely in the marine's head. #Nerdlings #WarhammerSocial #40k #Imperium #Tyranids

This #WIPWednesday cleaned up base coat on one of the banshees and cleaned up some of the experiments on the Vespid test model. I have to make some color decisions on the #BloodBowl team uniforms and didn't fit it in the hobby time. #Nerdlings #PaintingMiniatures #KillTeam #Warcry #AoS

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

Family traveled for my brother's wedding. These tend to have a lot of "hurry up and wait" so I thought I'd run an experiment with the down time: What kind of painting might I accomplish with an off-the-shelf kit with minis, brushes, paints, and clippers? ... #Nerdlings #WarhammerSocial #40k

Limited hobby time today but I've been eager to get the #Undead #BloodBowl team started, en especial La Momia y Martín Saletripas. One color each is still progress! #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #WarhammerSocial #WIP

Drone is feeling pretty done. I don't think I'll fuss over highlights. Tried some rust and weathering on the metal beams. Not sure it works but I'm learning. Curious about doing some chipped paint but I'm not sure how to go about it. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #KillTeam #VespidStingwings #Tau

Back to some models that have been #WIP for a while: - #KillTeam #VespidStingwings Oversight drone - Mummy for my #Undead #BloodBowl team - Zombie for BB team - #Saurian warrior from #OPR #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

Finally calling these guys done. Love these models! They've been fun if intimidating to paint. Enjoyed learning with them. It's time to clear coat and move on. #Nerdlings #WarhammerSocial #WarhammerUnderworlds #Warcry #SepulchralGuard #Undead #DeathrattleSkeletons #SoulblightGravelords

#SepulchralGuard are coming along. Leathers and metal fittings aren't there yet but glad to get them this close to done. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #Undead #WarhammerUnderworlds #Warcry

Ms. Tuonel is laughing maniacally as she puts Pumpkin spice coffee creamer in the shopping cart, to me and child Tuonel's horror. #PumpkinSpiceInJuly #NotTimeYet

Greening in the cloth. Pleased with how it's working with the undercoating. Decided to leverage the transparency of Vallejo's Game Color Dark Green instead of fighting it. #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity #PaintSlam25 #Undead #SepulchralGuard #Warcry #WarhammerUnderworlds

reposting this old twitter thread because whenever there's a heatwave multiple people tell me it helped them

They've fought long and hard for this. Congrats TWU! Original post: dice.camp/@rascalnews/...

Sepulchral Guard continue. Blocked in bone on some a few weeks ago. Was super pleased with that day's work. Today's experiment was bronze then silver drybrush for a corroded metal look on weapons and shields. #Nerdlings #WarhammerSocial #PaintSlam25 #WarhammerUnderworlds #Warcry #Undead

Newest addition to my Eldar Voidscarred LGBT pride series with the Lesbian flag. The base is temporary. That mini will be part of a unit for which i'm currently working on a special dedicated base. #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Really appreciated what Cal and Sunny said about hobby motivation in their video last week. youtu.be/J_i187c7kRs... #Nerdlings and #WarhammerCommunity folks please let me know if I'm breaking any mores linking a YT video. I don't tend to see them much in our community.

Mrs. Tuonel as we watch the Callister sequel episode of Black Mirror: "wait, are those minis?" Yes. That's a red foam minis storage tray with nondescript models on the desk of the garage-dwelling "will he be an evil kind of socially maladjusted?" character. I feel... seen? 🤦😠👿

This #ThrowbackThursday going back to a model I've let sit for months because I was afraid I'd "ruin" it as I painted over the underpainting. Pleased with the color blocking so far. Turned out better than I anticipated. #Nerdlings #WarhammerSocial #PaintSlam25 #Warcry #WarhammerUnderworlds #WIP
