First #15mmwargaming painting batch finished. Better pics once they've had a chance to sit and I've had a chance to hit em with sealer tomorrow. These are @thateviloneminis.bsky.social Roman ad Astra being used in our upcoming game S.E.E.R. Done with #proacryl and @thearmypainter.bsky.social stuff.

Tonight's session was almost entirely slapping #proacryl on the @thateviloneminis.bsky.social Romans printed for #15mmwargamming as we're prepping for our first 15 demos and testing. #paintingwarhammer #truewip #miniwargaming

#15mmWargaming test model. A Wolf of Yulara (Roman ad Astra Velite model from @thateviloneminis.bsky.social 3d printed at 50% scale on its original supports. Took about 2 hours, start to finish. Mostly done with @thearmypainter.bsky.social #speedpaint and #monument_hobbies #proacryl paints.

A miniature for 15mm scale table top wargaming. Heavily influenced by Roman scouts and light modern infantry.

I've decided to work on a cyberpunk into solarpunk story. Samuel's story needs told. The mini is from Unit9 on Patreon.

Earlier this week, we got together a couple of friends and got a couple of playtesting games of S.E.E.R. in. They went really well and it was a lot of fun!

Got it down to where I'm knocking each pair of these out in like 45 minutes. I still need to do at least 3 or 4 more pairs. I may go back and fiddle with this pair a bit more, though. I can see a few areas that are going to be really soft on details once printed. #AnvilIndustry

I got a little more work done on the #BrutalCities Trapper's Lodge kits recently. Working on hiding the battery pack for the LEDs as a power bank with meters. It's going to have a deck grate over the top of it when I'm finished.

Getting a little better and a little faster. I decided the last go were a little too samurai and not quite enough cyber, so I took another swing at it. I'm really liking these results. 2 pairs of arms done. #anvilindustry really makes this easier than I think it would be otherwise.

This is my first go at digital kitbashing and re-posing using Anvil Industry digital bits. I want cyberpunk infantry armored in recognizably Japanese armor. I have a lot of work to do, but for a first attempt and proof of concept, I'll take it! #anvilindustry #blender #3dmodeling #3dprinting

So. Many. Supports. It feels like all I've done today is clean up last week's prints. So many tiny bits. This is the third pile of this size I've done today. #anvilindustry #3dprinting #PhrozenRPG #AnyCubic

Finally got my printer settings dialed in for the #PhrozenRPG resin I switched to and have been rewarded with the gloriously loaded build plate full of #AnvilIndustry's Samurai models from this months Patreon.

The folks from my new day job are attending #PDXLAN this weekend. I was only able to make it out for a couple of hours, but it was a great time. These were some of the rugs I saw. I'll be better prepared next time!

ClockTower Game Studios @clocktowergames.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

We'd gotten behind on updating the rosters we use for playtesting, so last night, we pulled everything out and started on. Got a couple of them finished. There's still a lot left to do, but it's a start. . . . #SEERgame #indiegamestudios #miniwargaming #skirmishgames #miniagnostic #playtesting

Got in the first actual playtest game of S.E.E.R. in a while and focused on melee. The game is in a good place, but we did find a few little cleanup issues to resolve. Productive and fun game! #SEERgame #indiegamestudios #skirmishgames #miniagnostic #playtesting

I swapped 3d printer resin this week, and I'm really digging how durable Phrozen RPG is. This stuff is still great for details, but also manages to be flexible enough to bent some thin bits literally in half without them snapping. #3dPrinting #PhrozenRPG #terrainbuilding #miniwargaming #wargaming

ClockTower Game Studios @clocktowergames.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Picked up some new resin to give a go, and I'm pleased with the results that printed successfully. Not so pleased with the third of the bed that failed. I think it's a bed leveling issue. #3dprinting #PhrozenRPG #AnyCubic

Working on some #BrutalCities kits this week. Been working on detailing and putting some interior lighting into this stacked set. Still have a lot of detail work to do, including hiding the battery housing. Looks pretty sick, though! #SEERGame #terrainbuilding #cyberpunk #miniwargaming #WiP

Just finished this trilogy. I think it can best be summed up with the question, "What makes a soul?" I'm sure I'm late to the party, but this is one of the few works of fiction I've read that were so thought-provoking and insightful into the human condition. #Neuromancer #Booksky #sprawltrilogy

Cover of William Gibson's book, "Mona Lisa Overdrive" with hand written journal pages behind it.

Time for a little rainy day reading. These books are so friggin good, and the way the story winds back on itself is crazy. #rainydayreads #booksky #cyberpunk #WilliamGibson

Working on terrain again today. Hoping to b knock out a few of these WiP items before going back to work. #terrainbuilding #miniwargaming

Four tiles of foamboard painted and worked to look like concrete. All in various stages of completion.

Back to work on NeoNagoya! Needed to do a couple of concrete tiles for some stuff a buddy did. His originals are great and would look perfect on most tables, but I need to match what's already done. I'm gonna reuse the tiles they did for other projects, though. No reason to waste good work!

More fun with pen and ink. Inspired by the highland regimental troops I've been using for the base of one Turnip28 army. "Room for improvement."

More fun with the pen and ink cityscapes. This one's inspired by Tower Square in the town of Sallow featured in the #Turnip28 event I played in earlier this month at #OrdoFanaticus.

I think I've found a drawing medium I like. Now, to figure out how to draw shapes more found than a box.

I finished "Count Zero" by @greatdismal.bsky.social, and I have ~thoughts~ on the matter. Seriously one of the most thought provoking and (currently) relevant books I've ever read. #cyberpunk #sprawltrilogy #bulletjournaling

Getting my regiment for #Turnip28 a little farther along blocking in some colors. I'm glad I'm planning to gum these dudes up. I don't know where they're originally from, but the details on them are really muddy. #nerdling #minipainting #miniwargaming #OrdoFanaticus

The free companies #Turnip28 event at #OrdoFanaticus was a great time yesterday! Thanks again to @54thgrumblies.bsky.social for organizing the whole thing. I'm looking forward to more to come and I'm already planning what my next few regiments are going to look like!

Brought home the hardware for killing the most snobs over the course of the event. I tied for number of kills, my rival and I went to a toff-off and both Toffs died, and I squeaked out the win on tie breakers. Turnip28 is a hilarious game!

One of my favorite terrain pieces from the event. The fish are great!

At the end of the Eel day celebrations, the noble bees were able to give the scoundrel sausage troops the business and held most of the city.

This is James. James works in corporate HR. James maybe enjoys his work a little too much.

This is a model I 3d printed from STLs from Unit 9 (Hint) from one of their reward months of Patreon from forever ago. I really enjoyed this one.

Trying to get back in the groove of consuming media to expand my imagination. Writing fluff has been hard lately. I decided getting back around to #TheSprawlTrilogy was a good place to start. #BookSky #WilliamGibson #Cyberpunk

I know as a person running an indie game company and writing a game that I'm not supposed to really promote other games... But #Turnip28 is fantastic! Meet my regiment in progress. #WiP #miniwargaming #kitbashing

Tried my first run at freehand painting recently. Check out this free-handed hand on an #AnvilIndustry #ExoLord model I kitbashed up. I'm pretty happy with the results. Come back for the other two soon! #SEERgame #MiniWargaming #Painting40k #MiniPainting #ProAcryl #TokyoMusicWalker

These #anvilindustry exo-lords are the first models I've tried to free hand anything on. I'm pretty happy with them. I've got them pretty well finished, just need some cleanup and glamor shots. #miniwargaming #paintingminis #painting40k #SEERgame #skirmishgames #indiegamestudios ##indiegame #40k
