This my most successful attempt doing red. I took a leap of faith using a black undercoat. I also went over the red with a purple wash which added an incredible richness and made the edge highlighting really stand out. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #bloodangels

No No No. I can only mourn so many good people in one week. Go away DEATH. Or at least go pick off some of the old rich people currently destroying civilization #timcurry

Getting back into Martial arts after a 7 year break... Train like I used to in my 20s and 30s. What's the worst that could happen.... #karate #middleagecrisis #karateinjury

I finished CHILDREN OF STRIFE from @aptshadow.bsky.social. I think this is my second favourite from the CHILDREN OF series. I loved every bit of it. The expansion of the universe works really well. However CHILDREN OF TIME will always be my favourite. #Novel #Sci-fi #ScienceFiction

Anyone who thinks it's acceptable for British politicians to talk about setting up migrant concentration camps should be permanently banned from ever wearing a poppy. This is exactly what our heroes died fighting against. #StopReform #StopFascism

The biggest problem facing humanity in the 21st century: How to deal with those who already have wealth far beyond their needs but are obsessed with obtaining more and are willing to harm democracy, people and the planet in their request. #Capitalism #StopFascism #StopCapitalism

Light undercoat Vs Dark undercoat. Otherwise I used the same paints on both. I think the dark undercoat gives a bigger tone range. The high notes are the same on both but the dark undercoat gives more depth to the recesses #Warhammer40k #Warhammercommunity #Spacewolves

After experimenting with light and dark undercoats, I prefer the dark. Both give the same high tones but the darker undercoat adds more depth to recesses and so gives a bigger range. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #spacewolves

Did more work on my old models. Added dry brushing and edge highlighting. Probably the best I can do without stripping the paint off. I'm gonna stop using mythiston red as it absorbs everything you put on top. Wanna use flesh tearer red as a base. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #bloodangels

Brain: Remember that dreadnought you painted a year ago when you had no idea what you were doing? Me: Yes Brain: You could go back and make it way better. Me: Maybe Brain: You could do it right now Me: No I have other stuff to paint. Brain: Do it! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #bloodangels

Farage publicly complaining about the band on crypto donations shows how confident he is that the UK media will not ask why Reform need to use a system which makes their donations untraceable. Or about the millions they've received from outside the UK. #StopReform #StopFascism

So I've been doing lots of work to figure out how I can improve the Blood Angels I painted last year when all I knew was based with Red & apply Nuln oil for shade. A combination of dry brushing and edge highlighting has made a big improvement. #warhammercommunity #bloodangels

Matt Goodwin is genuinely dangerous. We cannot let his radical views (that non-white people can't be "British") be validated by him becoming an MP. #Stopreform #Stopfacism

I have a new toy. Hopefully this will help me get better at edge highlighting #warhammercommunity

I hate Labour. But I hate the Tories & Reform far far more. Unfortunately FPTP means the next UK government will either be Labour or a Reform+Tory coalition who will: -Dismantle public services -Strip back workers rights -Privatise the NHS -Reverse all climate action #StopReform #Stopfascism

When Trump leaves power I want to see a publicised list of every billionaire & corporation who capitulated to MAGA. Everyone who: -Dropped DEI -Allowed hate speech -Who cancelled projects or fired people to appease the fascist movement #stoptrump #stopfacism #stopMAGA #Trump

Told my 6 year old he could make something with my spare parts and I'd paint it. I don't know the chapter name but their gene flaw is that Rubicon surgery only works on their upper half. His power is from a black legion set but he has a note from the inquisition #warhammercommunity #Spacemarine

Before and after adding some edge highlighting to my old Blood Angels to try and make them feel better. I don't think I've mastered the technique yet, they've come out a little too orange. I need to remember that less is more #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #bloodangels
