Behold! Yet another book available for preorder! This one has an aroace protagonist, many oddities, and a Very Good Goat. Also kind of my tribute to McKinley’s Spindle’s End, which you should read while you’re waiting.

here’s a comic about arguing on twitter

Three panel comic.

Panel 1: Blue person sitting on a chair saying “I want to control population growth by murderin’ brown folks”

Panel 2: Purple person sitting on a chair replying “fuck you”

Panel 3: Both characters sitting opposite each other. Blue person now adopts an air of superiority (complete with top hat and monocle) and says “oh-ho-ho my good fellow, verily control thine self. I twill notteth giveth credence to one whoms course language offends mine genocidal sensibilities and what-not”

I just said this to a friend, but I want all artists to know this: "Your art will always be good. It's not slop! It's made with love and care. That speaks volumes! Doesn't matter if it's not "professional" quality. What matters is that you made it. That's what makes it really good." Keep drawing!

I’ve woken up at 3.05, or is it 2.O5? Or perhaps 1.05? If you are not sure what time it is, always take the advice of Charles Baudelaire and ask the “wind, wave, star, bird, clock” and they will tell you it is time to get drunk… but I might just have a nice cup of horlicks, instead.

Be Drunk
Charles Baudelaire 1821 - 1867
You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it
-it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.
But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish.
But be drunk.
And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking ... ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: "It is time to be drunk!
So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."

Little skink starpriest was a birthday present I received last year. Finished in time well before April 😁 Only gonna touch up the base a little bit. #warhammer #aos #nerdlings

Skink starpriest miniature with blue scales and yellow and green feather-decor is standing on the painting table elevated on a little wooden cylinder for better handling. His eyes are yellowish orange and his staff is green and golden. Skulls rest on the base underneath him where he stands on some elaborately carved rock debris.

Seen from behind the priest is wearing a dagger on a piece of string strung around his hips. His back plates are purplish and there is white spots and stars adorning is back.

Yet another angle on the skink priest. He’s reaching a claw out towards the camera and one can see the staff clearly adorned with a snake motif and a skull stuck on one of the spikes on top.

Finished up one of the prosecutors that we got with the starter box like a year ago? Decided that I want to paint the rest of the spearhead up as Anvils of the Heldenhammer. Photos kinda don’t do him justice tho. #warhammer #aos #nerdlings

A stormcast eternals prosecutor Mini holding a spear. The armour is black and gold while his wing trails and top of the spear are a kind of magenta. The shield is supposed to be a darker purple-red and gold but in this photo it appears kinda pink too. The winged soldier is jumping off a broken doorframe that’s embedded in the ground in between rocks and grass. There’s some pink and purple flower patches too.

Another angle of the prosecutor with the grass and moss on the base appearing aggressively green, I swear the colours are more muted in person.

A closer look at the mini’s spear tip. Non metallic metal was attempted but the picture is regrettably a bit blurry.

Spent a bit of time making bases for these. Hopefully with them fully prepared for painting I will get them done sometime this year. 😅

$A group of emperors children minis all with a white basecoat. They all have purplish-black bases that are painted as if cracked or streaked with lightning. There’s 12 noise marines in the back with a lord cacophonist, 10 infractors, 10 tormentors and a lord exultant. A fully painted classic noise marine is hanging out in the back row too.$ A harlequin troupe and solitaire all stuck to bases that are painted to resemble shiny marble. The minis are primed black, the marble is white with veins of dark grey, greenish tones and sporadic flecks of gold.

Played a small game of Spearhead today. Turns out we forget about how anything works between games but it was still fun. My partner fielded his new ossiarch bone reaper Mortisan Elites against my son‘s Kharadron Overlords. #warhammer #aos

A spearhead game set up on a tabletop. It’s the sand and bones setup with the little metal fences and spooky walls. Some sturdy ossiarch bonereapers are facing down a group of kharadron overlords that trespassed into their domain.

A stormcast eternal from one of those „warhammer heroes“ blindboxes. As something not belonging to my army projects I love to try out color schemes on them.

A miniature of a man in armour. A heavy cloak is wrapped around his shoulder plates. It’s billowing out to the side dark purple on top and a creme colour on the inside. His armour is black and golden, his eyes glowing blue. He’s holding a halberd mirroring the colours of his armour.

It was, people were really nice and of course the minis came out a bit differently to when you paint without a time limit and with your own brushes and stuff but I like how everyone did their best even if you had no idea what you'd end up with in the end. :)

Our warhammer store did a „paint roulette“-event today where we got to paint minis collaboratively (5 minutes then switching minis around). Got to take these two home and only did the rim on them to remember how these happened. 😅

A stormcast eternal and a space marine mini standing side by side. The stormcast has a somewhat haphazard looking yellow armour with some silver and a Red Cross on the flat underside of his hammer. His eyes are red too. The space marine ended up with a bronze and red armour with a silver symbol on the front and blue eyes. Both rims on the mini-bases are painted black and have golden writing on them stating „paint roulette 31.01.26“

Finally put the finishing touches on the 6 Jezzails I’ve been painting. Think they came out nice. Pity there’s 3 more and a whole bunch of clanrats and other stuff to go before I can call that army finished but I’m determined. 😅 #warhammer #aos #nerdlings

Six warplock jezzail miniatures from Warhammer Age of Sigmar seen from a slightly above angle on a white paper towel. Their weapons are bronze and they are clad in green and muted purple tones. They stand on a muddy ground with some friendly green tufts of grass on the bases.

Another slightly different angle on the jezzails on the paper towel. It’s two rats on each elongated oval base, the one in the back holding a ridiculously long rifle with e thin bronze barrel resting on the wood and metal shield the front rat is propping up for that purpose. Each front rat is holding a short sword to defend against potential attackers who make it into melee.

Yet once more the same rats, just slightly different angle without the paper towel. The tabletop underneath is brown and looks slightly smudged. In the background a closed wet palette can be seen.

Painted the insides of the Rhino a bit more. Love how this will be mostly invisible when the whole thing is done. 😅 #warhammer #miniatures

Look inside a half built Chaos Rhino from above. The insides look somewhat metallic with some darker pink door and shelf. On the shelf is a pink and black gun and some syringes. The door leading to the drivers area has a screaming pink face bulging out of the metal or grafted to it. A second gun hangs on the wall under some colorful radar monitors and buttons. It is also pink and has some leopard print painted on. The step to the door on the side of the vehicle has a yellow and black striped warning pattern. Mind the step.

Another look at the insides of this vehicle while the top isn’t yet installed. The open back ramp of the vehicle will stay movable and be the only way to look inside. This time the right inside wall can be seen. There is a golden symbol of the disgraced emperors children legion installed on the wall. It’s a stylised eagle. The shelf under it is empty.

Working on some warplock jezzails to finally clean up some of my army backlog. Trying to do at least a little bit every day. #warhammer #aos

6 warplock jezzail miniatures still being mostly grey. Each one has one rat (skaven) holding a comically large gun which is resting on a triangular shield another rat is holding up in the front. Their fur and skin is painted with a fresh layer of rakarth flesh beige and their robes are partially a dirty green. Someone stuck them on round pieces of wood with a bit of blue tack to make them easier to handle.

Calling this one done too. Classic noise marine #warhammer #nerdlings

A colorful miniature space marine of the Emperors Children. Base colours used are black, purple, yellow and white. He has leopard print patterns on his legs and carries a red guitar which is also a bolter. On his white and black striped helmet he has a huge plume of rainbow coloured hair.
