Slow but sure progress in relic weapons. So far nothing has been more annoying than collecting the demiatma right at the start. (and I have so many leftovers!) #FFXIV #Lalafell
A lalafell white mage with a fancy flowing staff and a bowl-cut she did herself.

@wooliewoolz.bsky.social Put together a Jo Guns heroforge model and was about to give up trying to come up with a pose for it when I heard your call to action on the heroforge ad read in the last podcast. Weird how things fall together. www.heroforge.com/load_config%... #woolievsart

I did it! I'm not bad at Street Fighter! It's official! The game said so!

Saw The Odyssey. Didn't like it. Wrote a big rant for my friends but to boil it down to the very core of it, it can't decide if it wants to be a *film* full of subtlety and nuance, or a *movie* that stops and has the characters stop and explain the message three times while staring into the camera.

Anyone can tell you this movie sucks. The producers have *so much* contempt for the intelligence of its audience that characters are constantly reminding each other what's going on. But I love it, unironivally. I love the gunfights, I love the oo-rah, I love when the alieum space ship explodes.

Upon thinking over the time it takes me to make each piece I do and what the minimum wage is for that same time, I'll be raising my prices for comms. Starting June 1st: Full body = £100 Halfbody = £80 Headshot = £70 These changes will be reflected both in VGen, and if you comm me directly.

One downside to getting your driver's license as an adult is learning you've spent three decades watching drivers do dangerous illegal shit that nearly cost them their lives (and yours!) and just took it for granted that's how driving works.

@dungeonbitch.bsky.social - Sorry, can't. Can't reply to the thread at all anymore, wild how that happened. Didn't screencap that part because that's not what was being asked... but yeah Dark Eldar are more or less entirely Melnibonéan coded and are more or less the last vestige of that style today

A package arrived this morning from @heroforgeminis.bsky.social From left to right we have: Rilean - the changeling raised as a cleric Yserge - the bow magus Lilly Dafodilly - aka Wrecker Djotrixonauk - aka Trixy the Warbold And most important of all: Untitled Dwarf Wizard Project.
Five fantasy RPG miniatures cast in black plastic from heroforge minis. They depict pathfinder characters:
-a tall thin young man in a hood with a staff in one hand and a lantern in the other.
-a female catfolk archer in loose fitting clothing running as she draws an arrow.
-a muscular tiefling woman with arms outstretched in challenge.
-a small Kobolds with a massive two handed hammer.
-a bent old dwarf wizard with a book in one hand and a staff in the other. He is bald with a very long beard.

Blue Eye Samurai - Because I just watched it and its fresh in mind. Rings of Power - Because I have some some opinions on what it does and does not do well and it deserves analysis. Evangelion - Because you don't really need to describe that show on an episode by episode basis.

Unfinished kitbash project based on the Sunstroke Rogue Trader mission from GDW's Challenge magazine. As novel as the idea of an all female space marine legion was, the wild way RT squad loadout works got me thinking it would be fun to try to capture the attitude of RT with modern kit aesthetics.
Unpainted kitbashed Warhammer 40k tabletop miniatures. Three Adeptus Astartes Space Marines of the Little Sisters of Purification chapter. Standing on debris made of plastic bits, guitar wire, plasticard and corkboard. Top-knot ponytails on their helmets. Modified jump packs with extra radiator plates. Plasma weapons connected power packs with a wild tangle of metal cables. Beaky helmets! Battle damage. Trying to recapture oldschool beaky marine aesthetics with primaris space marine sculpts.

These are three 'Personality' figures described in the scenario:  Sister-Lieutenant Elektra, with a bolt pistol, shuriken catapult, four plasma grenades, Jokaero digital las-pistol and flight pack. And Sister-Sergeants Modesty and Chastity, each equipped with bolt pistol, heavy plasma gun, four frag grenades and flight pack (Chastity also has an extra plasma pistol!)Unpainted kitbashed Warhammer 40k tabletop miniatures.

The Doomcast Eternal. Another kitbashing project I did for a painting contest. Way more satisfied with the white marble than the green marble, but the real key is the base that turns and slots out for a playable mini. Won by default, I was the only one who brought an AoS mini. :(

Ylthari's Guardians, painted these up for a painting competition - only to find out they didn't have a unit category for me to put them in! Ended up submitting only Ahnslaine the archer and she did fairly well. Great opportunity to refine my sylvaneth's colour scheme (brown/black->green->white)
Painted Age of Sigmar: Underworlds miniature. Ylthari's Guardians. Ylthari. The torso of a pale blue elf spirit emerging from a bramble of plants, twisting vines and tree bits. Wielding a staff with leaves growing off it, in a forested plain being flooded by water. Painted Age of Sigmar: Underworlds miniature. Ylthari's Guardians. Skhathael. The torso of a pale blue elf spirit emerging from a treelike body. One arm is a twisted claw of living wood, the other wields a greataxe, he has a cool braided loincloth and silver vase entwined in the leafy branches growing from his back. In a forested plain being flooded by water. Painted Age of Sigmar: Underworlds miniature. Ylthari's Guardians. Gallanghann of the Glade. The torso of a pale blue elf spirit emerging from a treelike body. One arm holds a twisted knot of vines with silver charms dangling from it, the other holds a greatsword blade-down in a challenging pose. He has a loincloth made of bark and leafy branches emerge from his back. Long white hair, and black curling horns. In a forested plain being flooded by water. Painted Age of Sigmar: Underworlds miniature. Ylthari's Guardians. Ahnslaine the Revenant Archer. The torso of a pale blue elf spirit emerging from a treelike body. One arm is a twisted claw of living wood wielding a curved bow, the other is raised up as though she's just loosed an arrow. She has long white hair and leafy branches growing from her back. Standing on a ruined statue n a forested plain being flooded by water.

My current BB project, a Slaanesh themed Chaos Chosen with a name I'm still workshopping (The Lady Beastmen? Furies of Slaanesh?) Originally, I was going to build them completely stock and use them as practice before I paint my halflings. Instead they've become my most kitbashed team yet.
Unprimed, unpainted Bloodbowl miniatures still under assembly. Eight lady beastmen - football players with goat heads and shorts, and four chaos chosen, big tough guys in various states of dress, one of them is clearly a daemonette in disguise.

Halflings are the best team of all. They're so bad. This project has: -16 Hopefuls -2 Catchers -2 Hefties -2 Treemen -1 Coach -1 Chef -1 Mascot -1 Squirrel -And 5 Star Players And was a blast to build. I have one other team I want to paint first so I can shake the dust off before I tackle them.
A blood bowl halfling team. 30 Models in all. Primed but not painted. 
The majority of halflings are built standard or with minor conversions and headswaps, the most extensive modifications are one with a human chest piece, one with a curly mustache, and one who is, on closer inspection, a goblin riding on another goblin's shoulders. 
On the far left are three star players, Akhorne the Squirrel and Grak & Crumbleberry. 
In the back row there is a chef with a pastry in hand, an exacerbated coach, three converted treemen, a halfling riding in some kind of robot, and a Stormcast Eternal who's fallen through the gap between dimensions and now thinks he's a bloodbowl player.

First up, Blood Bowl stuff! My team, the Steelburgh Pitters (they stole their uniforms). I finished painting them for a league that ended up being cancelled due to COVID, the Coach was made specifically for it to. The Roborc, Murphy, is their troll and is currently primed and waiting for paint.
Painted miniatures. An orc blood bowl team in black uniforms with yellow pants and trim. Consisting of two goblins, four blitzers, four blockers, five linemen and a thrower. They are on bases painted to look like cracked asphalt with tufts of yellow grass growing out of them. A painted miniature of an orc blood bowl coach. He is visibly overweight, shirtless, wears gold chains and a baseball hat. In one hand he holds the clipboard with a crudely drawn football play, in the other he holds a goblin referee he's screaming at. He are on bases painted to look like cracked asphalt with tufts of yellow grass growing out of it. A partially complete kitbash plastic miniature. A hunched over robot body with buzz-saws on big punching hands and a roaring orc head. It is covered in orc iconography and wires, smokestacks, gas tanks and other haphazard industrial bits.

So I guess I'm overdue making an intro post. I've been on Bluesky for maybe a year now but only got out the odd reply. I'm into warhammer and love kitbashing models. I play video games (with SF6 being the main passion right now) Love me some Pathfinder, currently GMing an Extinction Curse campaign
