Reposting this as a reminder to myself because this sounds rad as hell

lol I think I had meant to finish this for LAST orctober but I didn’t for some reason, pulled it off the shelf and polished up the last element (the base). Here’s a neato half-orc druid type. The model is actually an orc shaman but it can’t possibly be an orc since it doesn’t have a pig face???

Back in the dungeon synth miniature crafts with cat zone. Nine more miniatures remain to put basing material down. Then, I can start painting the bases on the skeletons I finished last night

Time to relax the best way possible, cats, gummy, miniature crafts. Time to give some miniatures some proper bases

lol was just reminded of this comic because of my pals @michaelchu7.bsky.social and @frameshift.bsky.social and obviously Rebecca Sugar has made many a fine piece of media but for obvious reasons this one is my favorite: opentheportal.com/2900/dont-cr...

Good blog to subscribe to IMHO

Another day, another instance of finding some miniatures that are almost my ideal pig face orc, but not quite. www.monkstoneminiatures.com/product-page...

Also it's fucked up that I can't just stay inside and paint miniatures all day with occasional breaks to shovel the snow but have to work all day with occasional breaks to shovel the snow

Oh yeah, shoveling snow sucks

I’m not sure what I just watched with the ending of season 1 of the chair company but it fucking rules

I have been accused of being a hipster many times in my life (which, admittedly is pretty fair) but the funniest thing I’m a “hipster” about is fantasy gaming miniatures

Now that I own a home, it’s time to start researching airbrushing so that I can set up an airbrush to prime miniatures for the cold months.

Came home last night to a parcel from @fenrisgames.com that I didn’t get ton open until this morning/afternoon. Got some choice goods in here and can’t wait to paint up that Grecian/rubble city looking dude for Warriors of Athena

Going to need a replay of Romo’s pronunciation of Nostradamus

Reading the rules from 5 Leagues from the Borderlands so I can finally embrace solo miniature gaming

Musing about thanksgiving and I realized that either 24 or 25 years ago (can’t remember if I was 16 or 17) was the first time I watched The Seven Samurai and now I want to make watching a Kurosawa joint a new thanksgiving tradition

Genndy Tartakovsky’s take on an animated Conan the Barbarian and also Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser

lol last night in my quest to figure out the best qualities for a pig face orc I found someone already drew them: rcsiucd.edu.my/tag/pig-face...

Thinking about taking a gummy and making a list of what I would consider the quintessential elements of a pig faced orc so I could then commission a fantasy artist to draw it for me

In Tennessee for the week and for most of the drive down we listened to Drive ByTruckers to set the mood and lol I haven’t listened to them in any great detail in probably a decade and forgot how hard southern rock opera shreds

@michaelchu7.bsky.social FYI

Portrait of a man who got his flu and covid vaccines and passed the fuck out

That feel when you get a delivery notification for a package from the UK and you think it's miniatures but actually it's just a nice dress shirt for an event, ugh!

This tutorial rules and has convinced me I should order some of those barrow entrances with my next Fenris order

We had our OSE game last night and it was an absolute hoot but now I’m just like when is the next game!

I think if you're going to cold email me at my work email about making custom clothes for me (this sounds rad) you should PROBABLY spell my first name correctly in your email?

I beat Hades II this weekend (still lots to do in the game) and while it plays real fast and loose with Greek myth, it is fun to be reminded of how much of a Greek myth dork I was as a child

Chuck Schumer sucks so bad, what a chode

I’m in a lot of danger

My pals are streaming board games!

My pals are streaming!

lol today was yard waste pickup and there are still so many damn leaves on our maple tree

Got in about an hour of miniature painting after voting, finished up this freebie I got in a recent @heresyminiatures.com order. Good to know that after a summer hiatus my painting didn’t atrophy too badly. Just got to keep up the routine! Next step is a proper base.

Excited to visit my new polling place today, it is in a library!

I’m reminded of a time when my buddy said “Stefan do you want to hear a funny Cheney story?” To which I replied, “Is he dead?” And to which my pal replied, “No, and I’m sorry for giving you that hope.”

Talking about film photography with a bud and this is rad as hell and maybe a way to dip my toes back into film photography: filmobjektiv.org/how-it-works

Good miniatures/terrain/etc. can be acquired here

Haven’t been painting much because of work, trying to get back into the hang of things. Really would like to carve out at least 30 mins of painting a day.

Yeah ok Eleanor, that’s a place you can choose to sit

I don’t think I’ve ever been madder at a bake off semi final

It is beyond infuriating how much garbage right wing techbros 1. Do not understand Lord of the Rings; 2. Continue to name their horrific products after it; 3. make analogies to Lord of the Rings as to why society should be horrible Like fuck off you fucking assholes.

I think at a bare minimum, any democrat politician that wants my vote needs to offer full support for the most marginalized members which is why Gavin Newsom can fuck all the way off forever.

I'm supposed to be working but all I'm doing is planning out what miniatures to buy for a game whose rules I haven't even read yet

Finally finished up this large chaos lad by @fenrisgames.com (wash and shade the base after sitting on it for a month 😅)

We're two weeks away from this year's Extra Life fundraising stream. The 8th and 9th we'll be playing 24 Hours of D&D to raise money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. We're going to have raffles and amazing incentives again this year. I hope you'll join us in #GamingForGood

Just need to get through another miserable work day and then it's time for dungeons and or dragons

Every new reveal of this dude and his tattoo is just unreal. To just kind of act like it was NBD is extremely wild, then cave to the pressure to get it covered up and you choose THAT as your cover up and then in the process also accidentally reveal you have ANOTHER nazi tattoo on your arm??? Woof

Can't wait for work to be over to get have a gummy and paint some miniatures this evening

Thinking about this Simpsons bit for no particular reason: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaXi...

Bummed the Mariners lost but that’s sports for ya!
