Armies on Parade is done for another year. I did not place. Maybe one day. One can only keep trying :) But here is a bunch of photos of the Beasts of Chaos army I submitted! 🧵 Till next year! #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting

All this posting about off screen 'departures', reminds me of the exit of Dodo, one of the Doctors companions. She doesn't appear in the last episode of her final story, and doesn't even get a goodby. The new companions simply passing on a message for her, that's shes decided to stay on earth :P

To expand on this. Bobs need to die. Off screen, due to accident, misadventure, friendly fire or bureaucratic cock up.They need to die saving the day or getting hit by a log crossing a swollen river. Excessive plot armour in war fiction makes it read like a kids cartoon. Let Bobs die.

Back I was silly enough to argue online, I was astounded at how many of the 'gatekeepers' apparently had difficulty reading entire tweets. To this day a post where I called Word Bearers a 40k faction is used as proof I didn't know they were one. It is near the bottom of the tweet though so... 🥴

#WarhammerCommunity :P

Did you know sometimes Space Marines die off screen? Who would have thought that super soldiers bred for war, die sometimes? It's unheard of!

Trying something new. I like to zenithal my minis. I also like to sup assemble character minis that have had to access areas. So this time I'm doing both. Primed in black. Temp assembled with blutack and zenithaled then broken apart again. Let see if this helps me at all

I always like to put a little extra effort into the bases of character minis. The Alphus is getting a Necromunda plate and ash watstes base. I've built the plate from a 3mm mdf/plasticard sandwich and some thick straws for pipes. The 'ash' will be added after its primed. #WarhammerCommunity #GSC

Golden demon is the competition where you see a mini someone spent 600hrs on. Armies on Parade is when you see that time spread out over an army. Given the wargame nature of the hobby I definitely have a greater interest in the latter. Show me the armies!

The ceremonial new project tidy has been done, I'm ready to start. (I like to start each project fresh. I wipe down the surfaces, clean all the brushes and generally tidy everything away, so I can mess it up all over again!)

Some bits an pieces I quite liked in the reveal show. Some I'm more meh about, but will float someones boat. In the end its what its all about. Its a hobby. A fun and engaging pastime. If your point of engagement becomes hating on it, you've gone wrong. Let it go and move on to pastures green :)

Pestigors! Yay! Pity beastmen are no longer in AoS despite this being an AoS set game... (Bring back my beastmen!)

After waiting for some moment to come by for me to decided to finally go forward and do Copyright Claims against channels that use my work without credit, I finally decided, its time. Over this weekend and into next week I will be making a list of videos, channels and initiating those claims. 1/4 🧵

I love watching bad christian media. I love the way they sanitise their own religion. In the rapture film 'Left Behind' all the babies and young kids (age cut off?) in the world get raptured. 'cause what religion would punish babies... (the answer is Christianity actually :P)

Culture warriors love to have art made of themselves as (much fitter) violent military authority figures. I draw myself as an unflattering flying head creature from a TTRPG of my youth. I feel like this says something about each of us :P

Angry guy X wants to be a 'content creator' makes 2 types of videos. 1: Trying to entertain via playing games. Average views 50-200. 2: Manufacturing fictions, targeting creatives, alternatively declaring they have won/lost the hobby. Average views 2k-4k. They're never gonna stop making shit up.

Nothing quite like shoveling stone for 4hr in 30c temps in direct sun to let you know just what hot and damp feels like. (Honestly I kind of don't notice it till I get on the bus home and the heat just comes off me in waves)

So the last few weeks have been me rushing to bang out some stuff for my new DnD game. Although there is always more to be done, I'm going to rest for a second and see where the urge to create takes me anon (come on urge!)

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys. Thankyou 💔

Session 1. The soon to be party got to know each other in the local dive, as the ship intended to carry them for Chult & their disparate paths was ordered fumigated by customs agents. There they experienced a weird portent, as an ancient coin ended up in their change, a 'copper maze'

Making characters for video games reveals aspects of myself in my avatars. Angry, scarred and gothic.

And my simple ocean mat is done. 3ft by 4 ft adventures on the high seas! #WarhammerCommunity #DungeonsAndDragons #MiniatureTerrain

Tempted to get a 2nd Monster Manual cut the pages out and put them in a binder, 2nd ed compendium style.

Ocean Board WIP 01 I bought the supplies to try this method some time ago... then put them in the cupboard. But today I have broken them back out! This is a play area sized sheet of plastic backed canvas drop cloth, now coated with acrylic calk. Lets make it happen. (Fingers crossed)

After hitting 38 yesterday, today is a max of 22. There is some wildly fluctuating weather for ya. :P

Rushed rocks finished with a few days to spare (so I can make a couple of other things) I'm always amazed at what a little bit of foam an paint can do and I encourage folks to give it a go themselves :) #DungeonsAndDragons #WarhammerCommunity

Looking over this reply was good funny. I definitely watched DnD cartoon in my youth. I'm playing BG3 again right now, and I own both the Ravenloft and Spider Queen modules. Random art and it was 4 for 4. I am king of the nerds! :P

Reality vs Practicality I buy/make a lot of terrain for my games an& d a thing a lot of youtubers gloss over with terrain is practicality. At the end of the day reality looks amazing, but you have to be able to use it. A little thread about the considerations. #WarhammerCommunity #DungeonsAndDragons

Rocks now have mdf bases. A loss in visuals for game play reasons decision. The mdf bases make the foam more resilient & add some weight at the bottom to minimize the chances of toppling over or blowing out of position. If you were big on visual fidelity, you could cover the edge in bog or the like.

Supposed to hit 37c / 99f here today and on the back of a storm so the humidity is going to be amazing. Ahh Brisbane spring

Doing an Honor mode lite* run, with a traveling detective lore bard. Scarred and intended for sacrifice 'Trinket' was rescued by a harper & uses traveling performer as cover for their investigations. *settings are honor mode, but multi save. Golden dice are not worth chancing run ending bug at 80hrs

Well that was a bunch of hail!

With a week to go before session 1 I am rushing out a couple more terrain items. First up: more rocks. Line of sight blocking, high vantage point scalable, dash your ship against them... rocks! Freshly cut from insulation foam and awaiting mdf bases. #DungeonsAndDragons #WarhammerCommunity

River is done! Ran into a problem where the PVA (2different brands) kept frosting up. Never had that happen before, and don't know what its reacting with. It did it with the static grass so I couldn't really clean it up post. Bleh. I'll just have to put up with it. Oh well. #DungeonsAndDragons

I do try and push myself a bit with my mini painting, but even if it were in Aus, I would not enter GD with any expectation of placing. I have sent a couple of paint jobs into White Dwarf. But no nibbles yet. One day. 🤞 #WarhammerCommunity

There are a bunch of hobby folks who want to make a living making hobby related vids. Some do so by producing quality hobby tutes. Others by pouring over obscure books. Some via insider interviews. Some are simply grifters who think reading wikis and/or lying to morons should give them a paycheck.

River WIP 08. The final WIP I've started applying static grass to the banks. I'll build it up in several passes as each dries and I have the time throughout the day. I'll have to mix some different colours in as I'm all but out of this one.

Miniatures and models: Simulation, Mimicry or Abstraction or a combination of the 3. When you paint miniatures/terrain you are making decisions as to style even if you are not aware of them. These 3 techniques are IMO the most common. Gonna Waffle. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingMiniatures

Recently my little cheap z250sl motorbike has become more trouble and cost to maintain then is really worth it. It was my first manual bike, and has gotten me back and forth for over 10 years, but today I retire it. Bye lil bike. May someone with mechanical knowledge inherit you.

River WIP 07 Closing in on the end now with all the basic painting done, and having applied the 1st of a few gloss layers to the water. Then its grass, plants and scatter Soon I shall have modular river!

River WIP 06 Toilet paper and PVA water is go!

River WIP 05 The banks of the rivers have had 2 coats of their base colour - Raw Umber, to lock in the grit. A couple of additional chunks of foam have been glued on as rock. I'll dry-brush the banks next, then add the toilet paper water effect.

House of Hell Fighting Fantasy game book cover. How some of the art in that book gave child me a spoop.

It inconsequential.Just the nature of the internet. But a random quote tweeted my Art of DnD thread & wrote 'but the old editions had art of actual adventure!' so I posted 5e art of actual adventure & they acted like they didn't make the initial claim. I don't get folks like that. Don't be like that

Session 0. The players are made. The backgrounds divined and now it falls to me to weave personal quests in the plot proper. After, armed with contrast style paints I 'forced' my non mini painting players to paint their miniatures. #DungeonsAndDragons Don't let outrage grifters tell you its not fun.

The faux outrage about this is more insipid then most know. "If only we could return to the good old days!" You can you utter clowns. 1e is available for sale right now. You can even get it in physical media for $20. Its right there! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1...

River WIP 04 It continues slowly. The slopes of the banks were merged with a bevel in the 6mm mdf due to some time spent with a rotary tool. Now the Grit has been added to the banks, a mix of fine sand and bi-carb soda. Once it dries I'll some larger scatter, and make some toilet paper water.
