I know what I like and what I like are noses that jut forward proudly.

Fresh off the painting table: Space interior terrain for #Warhammer40K. Still a ways to go until I have enough to run a proper game inside a derelict spaceship, but I feel like I've hit a big milestone in the project, which is always nice.

Walls, floors, a staircase, and various generators, representing a rather rusty-looking miniature spaceship interior.

Fresh off the painting table: Jägerin from the Mörderin by John Blanche Kickstarter.

A miniature of an inquisitor wearing extremely high heels, a puritan's hat, and a corset on the outside; classic John Blanche stuff.

John Blanche has passed. He was a staggeringly influential miniature painter, concept artist, illustrator, and art director. A tragic loss to the fantasy and gaming worlds.

John Blanche’s cover illustration for Codex Sisters of Battle, depicting an armored female grimdark warrior in front of a horde of priests and zealots. The entire painting is in reds, yellows and oranges.

Fresh off the painting table: Chaos Beastmen for #Warhammer40K Beastmen - Homo sapiens variatus: In temperament as well as appearance they are often bestial, having a reputation for crudity, aggression, and indiscipline. Other warriors dislike them as they are rowdy and insanitary.

Torquil finally decided that it would be fun to ride around on my shoulder like a pirate’s parrot. Now I just need to teach them to say “pieces of eight!”

Trying Battletech for the first time since… 1993? My son got hooked into it, and these Robotech miniatures I painted coincidentally look like an appropriate fit for certain ‘mechs…

Well, I watched all 22.5 hours of Wong Kar-wai's Blossoms Shanghai. I'm not normally one to brag about media consumption on social media, but I'll make an exception in this case. AMA.

Fresh off the painting table: A Rogue Psyker for #Warhammer40K

A painted Warhammer miniature of a psyker, he head swollen with power and with glowing blue eyes, holding a staff with an elaborate chaos star atop it. Chains connect his legs to weights, which barely prevent him from floating off into the sky.

Fresh off the painting table, a Deathblow class heavy droid for #Warhammer40K. This is a rare miniature from Citadel's short-lived Slocombe's Warbots range. For my midlife crisis, instead of buying a sportscar, I bought this off eBay.

Fresh off the painting table: Pious Vorne, Missionary Zealot for #Warhammer40k. This was a speed painting session, less than two hours. Not too bad for all that, I guess.

A Warhammer miniature of a religious zealot wielding a flamethrower with a chainsaw attached to it. She has a bald head and some sort of golden halo implanted into her skull.
