The new Mario Kart on the Switch 2 looks cool and right up my alley but uh not at that price, guess I'll just wait a year and get one second hand like I did with my switch

2022 plague marine vs plague marine I finished last night circa 2025

Luckily the UK not changing the clocks yet means I still get to watch without being up at 2am haha

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Tried painting Legionaries as simply as one could with as minimal effort I can get away with, so it does need some effort to not have a finished model that's just flat looking

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Well look at that, a finished mini

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Progress on the sorcerer, not really feeling it currently, hopefully some highlights can tie it together for me

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Painting again for the first time this year, with a new crusade warlord

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I've been finding it interestingly harder to enjoy or do anything 40k related recently, whether it's building models, painting them, or listening to my audio books like it just hasn't been helping my interestingly depressed mood with everything going on

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

On a related note, it does make me smile walking into a fandom and just seeing people enjoying it and making fan art and talking about stuff, and just missing any negativity cause I'm just not delving too deep into it

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Growing up I was never really into traditional girls stuff, nor did I ever really have the option due to parents and just being interested in other stuff, some of which became lifelong hobbies, so I think now I'm allowed a girly interest as a treat, like these dolls from a terrible tv show

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Some armies are a bit more random, Blood Angels. I just bought the kits I wanted and then painted what I needed. Death guard is all secondhand models, Demons were birthday presents, CSM was an unintended army, plus 4 armies I've bought off of friends, I just work on whatever I feel like at the time

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Nowadays I just get some discounted army boxes and then I may slowly add some other kits I get ahold off, as for an actual time frame I've been working on my Ultramarines for 2 years and I don't quite have 2000 pts painted, I've barely touched the army box it originally started from

110

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I found some boxes of sisters of battle with quite generous discounts, so got some Paragon Warsuits and a second Immolator for when I get round to building that army

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

As someone who plays world eaters and Inquisitorial agents (and the other related armies)this is a kill team box for me, shame I don't play kill team

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Wait so James doing sick car tricks and bonus cats are bad for youtube? But I loved those bits. No joke I've enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes shots <3

030

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

I absolutely love the Redemptor, though I'm not sure I'd want to build more, but then I replaced some parts with resin upgrade bits, which make the building process more difficult for me

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

Nothing like a new hyperfixation to get you through an existential crisis. It's not even something that great that's caught my attention this time, but I love it anyway, and there's some good ideas I might steal for dnd

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

I personally like big armies of guys just walking, just alot of guys clogging up the table

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

All warhammer models should be a bit wonky it's part of the charm

020

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

That's fair, and some sets just aren't a home run for me but I'm happy that others like it

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

This plus some of the designs just leaves me not feeling any excitement for the Final Fantasy set

110

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Sad part is Aetherdrift is barely out, not had a proper chance to use any of the cards and there are some cards I want to use even rebuilt some old commanders cuz of it

020

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

My knowledge of final fantasy is Sephiroth. None of these are Sephiroth, but I do like Tidus because I like proliferate as a mechanic. Cloud, on the other hand, is a combination of everything I dislike in a commander.

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Well jeez, this looks awful and doesn't even have the charm of something that looks awful because it's from a billion money unit company I hate it

020

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I get most my Warhammer Official updates from Facebook... which is not much better, or I just go to warcom directly despite the fact there's no community interaction from people disappointed at whatever they've put up

020

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

Seasons 21 and 22 I think capture the grimdark aspect of 40k quite well, stories like Resurrection of the Daleks, Caves of Androzani, and Vengeance on Varos all feel like 40k stories. Also it's 100% how I'd want a 40k show to be

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

This just grinds my ears, those are game pieces to be used or cherished by kids, not dumped because you didn't pull the chase card

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Plus she's a captain of a war ship of angry men with bad headaches, I work on a ferry boat where the general public give me a headache, she's basically me

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

She'll just be apart of my jackals for my 40k world eaters, but aside from gameplay she's my favourite character so I'll happily paint her anyway

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

I got to play dnd and magic with my friends, so despite just being a normal Friday I'll take that as a valentines win

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Lotarra is probably my favourite human character, nay just actual favourite character from the Horus Heresy, despite being a resin questionable human model I'm 100% painting her, and maybe be apart of a Jackal unit

Best thing I've heard all year, can't wait to see my favourite youtube series return

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Tbh the oh honey you tried tier is probably the level of commander I want to be playing

040

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Ultimately the set turned out to be a bit of a wet blanket in many regards, the commander precons looked cool but there's only so much hype I can feel while sat here for two ish weeks waiting for my preorder to be shipped

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

I've no real desire to collect and play Aeldari, but this specific art (and a couple characters) makes me want to paint some Aeldari in this style, because it's glorious and I love it

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Pretty much :/ think I've had enough with the world in this iteration of time

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

It's not exactly warhammer but I've these rad 90s Doctor Who minis of the unit boys

0231

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

This looks awesome and it references one of my favourite moments from the 5ds anime love it

110

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

I'd be sad if 40k died, I'm more in favour of longer editions and not immediately going to a new one after the last codex drops, and also for gw to spend more time playtesting the rules and focusing more on casual play than tournament play

040

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

He's also why I decided to make a customised Ultramarines army because I wanted my own army of this quality, even some of the bits used here are ones I use on my own armies, and vice versa I showed him the Ultramarines and Templar shields used which I got for my own armies

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

I bought my friends Deathwatch army after he decided to go back to Templars when he squatted the Deathwatch, and I just want to show off how much of a talented painter he is, my bad photography does not do these gorgeous models justice

100

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Just something about the firstborn Dark Angels that are just so cool and embody everything I like about Space Marines and 40k from a design standpoint

010

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Everything kinda just sucks right now, January was honestly kinda really bad in general and personally. I try my best to focus on the good, positive things and to not dwell on the well *vague hand gesture at world* lest everything overwhelms me

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I 100% get this, I too like telling the void that I feel pretty much exactly this

000

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Not having a good day so spending my evening watching my favourite shows and funny internet people while building my we have judge dreads at home 40k guys

Astra Random <3 @astra-random.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

This was a good game I really enjoyed everything about it, especially talking about Necron lore
