Oh wow, 200 followers! Hi! I like to make, fix & modify things. I'm gonna be a posting lot of #Warhammer, #BattlefleetGothic and #Gaslands stuff but I hope you'll come along for the ride when I do my #sculpting, #art and #automotive works too! Bit of a #Nerdling. LGBTQIA+ safe, far as I can be.

A Leader for the Rebel Troopers, Star Wars Legion. I made her a Twi'lek. Got 10 regular rebel troops to follow later but i wanted to paint the leader today!

another one down

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Remi Dekker, son of resistance fighter Freddie Oversteegen has this to say about our minis! 😍 I am blown away! Also pic of when we met up recently, he got a special painted one by John Morris. (KS on now www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...)

Today's Legion of the Damned minis. This is the Heavy Weapons squad from 2nd edition. Nice and chunky, the heavy bolter especially looks like a handful. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

Today in Kate Paints (to cope with the world) Details on the Jurassic Park truck from the other day. The blue edge highlighting might be too subtle. Might go back to it later, but very happy with the flatbed. #minipainting #miniatures #nerdlings #gaslands

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

A better world is possible. But if voting alone could bring it to bare, the forces enriched by the plight of the now would never allow you to do it. Lose? Organise. Win? Organise.

This is incredibly important - mass protests are good and necessary but very few take the logical next steps needed to affect real change - we need to learn to channel our rage into organising, so we are strong and united enough to enforce our demands

Hoo boy, thank fuck for that. Nice one Brazil :)

If KiwiFarms ever has no haters, not only will I be dead but there will be explicit instructions that nobody is to attend my funeral because a person who does not hate KiwiFarms is not fit to mourn me. Fuck them forever, with a thousand barbed and rusty knives.

How it feels right now

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

It's always my posts complaining about AI which do the big numbers, which is understandable as it's a shared frustration with a lot of people, but I would hope the more positive stuff I post about got half as much attention. 'cos there's a lot to be positive about.

Custodes force so far. I was going to try do the rose gold across the whole army but the dreadnought was a faff to get that colour on so i changed my mind for something faster.

More Legion of the Damned, Terminators this time. Although the unit in White Dwarf #224 doesn't contain any, I had some 2nd edition ones spare and decided that they would be a useful addition to the army. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

I love a good doohickey, and I have a doohickey to share with y'all today. The oppenheimer 66 hazardous material recovery vehicle and salvage bed. from Mika, who's asked me to share their local BT group: www.odysseuslegion.com/home

Need as many orders etc as I can please, workshop rent due tomorrow, £900. (A return to a lack of orders means an end to wishful thinking about the future i suppose) heresyminiatures.com/shop heresyminiatures.etsy.com

#MechTober 24 - Light ‘Mechs The Jenner is my favorite light ‘Mech from TRO 3025. It’s a great combo of firepower and speed to serve as a striker.

(Sound of foxes screaming in the distance) random #warhammer40k pics of the day: the scratch-built Baneblade, shown from above with all magnetized elements disassembled (vs a fully assembled build). Entered as part of September's #nerdlings Mini of the month challenge.

Brotherhood of Randis Merlin. Painting the Brotherhood icon was a real bitch I tell you. #battletech #nerdlings #minaturepainting

I got a Kuruman. I dont know what this could really count as other than a Killa Kan (maybe a Warboss proxy?) but i kinda like it

"In order to defend against the risks of [rabid dogs], yet also maximise the economic potential of [rabid dogs], the Chancellor will commit hundreds of millions of pounds to develop a 'distinctively British' approach to [rabid dogs]."

School Open House today but I’d rather finish this Gobbo and some of his friends. Work on a Saturday sucks. #Nerdlings

Moving right along. A 2nd-edition Dreadnought for the Legion of the Damned💀 A big stompy robot covered in flames. What could be more Warhammer than that? #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

I’ve been quiet over the last few days while I process this. My cat has been to the vets and needs expensive treatment. I’m opening up painting comissions to help pay for it. Any help would be amazing, especially sharing

my response to wes streeting is as consistent as time ticking over.

i decided that, instead of doing the rogue trader predator turret for the gladiator reaper (which already gets rep in the horus heresy predators) i instead made it the razorback turret this thing is deeply insane and it was a joy to recreate

Happy Friday to all fellow Blueskyers. 👋👍 My Tamiya Ducati Panigale Grazie Vale special edition has been finished for #ItaliaGB. Thoroughly enjoyed this and everything went together well, the kit, decals, paint and clear coat. #histscalemodels #buildthestash #finishedkits

My phone is absolute potato quality at this scale, but this is as much of the fully painted Arrakeen Jihad as I can make 3rd Edition legal (which is to say, arrange into legal units- I'd need to paint a third Emperor's Champion to have this be a fully legal force), plus my Imperial Fist Scouts.

I’ve been looking back over what I’ve been painting this year and it appears to be nearly all Blood Bowl minis. There’s a couple of old Lizardmen, a black knight and the Orcs I’m doing for Orktober but other than that it’s Blood Bowl. Here’s my Bright Crusaders sporting their 2nd ed. style uniform

Witch Hunter led Freeguild Cavaliers champion using Jelson Darrock as the rider

Messed up the curing on this girly so I figured I can use misprints as a way to speed up my process without the fear of experimenting on expensive plastic. Even though she’s all roughed up it’s my first successful splicing attempt and I love her.

ive finally got to the new stuff. love the new style of ork #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k

Painted up some more battle field support. Gotta actually read up on the rules to deploy these things in the new edition. Not my finest work on the Inner Sphere battle armor. First time really painting something that small and it shows. Over all happy with these. #battletech #miniaturepainting
