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

I did this exact scheme for a painting competition back in the day and only had someone point out the similarities after the fact, lol. I think its a really good combination of colours and especially suitable for a metalic colour scheme.

They have window items but no way to remove the windows already there. A wall item that's a curtain pulled to the left but not one pulled to the right. You have to use a glitch to put loose books and papers on your bed and next time you walk in they'll fall through to the carpet underneath. Love it

@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

While I do miss the marine's big chonky stompers, I think a lot of that old charm can be recaptured with a good paint job. I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with after the game launches.

You're right, mb. Rows 3 and 4 are suites that ring around the entire stadium hanging partially over row 2 and directly under row 5. The highlighted one appears to be suite 301 or 302 right next to the TD Lounge.

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.

@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

Captain Joystick @joystickcaptain.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Looks like it, yeah. I was almost certain it wasn't.

Captain Joystick @joystickcaptain.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Yeah Darktide's builds feel more impactful to the way you play (they didn't originally, but they certainly do now!) and while the cosmetic aspect is way more cutthroat than SM2 it certainly can look nice.

Also @heroforgeminis.bsky.social you guys have *really* stepped up your packaging! Almost too much... Yserge did not want to get out of the box!

A clear plastic case with latches and hinges. Only a few inches in size. Filled with super light Styrofoam balls that blow all over the place with the slightest breeze, there is a black fantasy miniature inside.

Captain Joystick @joystickcaptain.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

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.

Total dork - descended from deceptions, named himself Dinobot to sound menacing. A punk pretending to be a samurai. Transformation made no sense. A total slag spouting saurian. Saviour of Humanity. The Greatest of Cybertron.

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!)

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.

Captain Joystick @joystickcaptain.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Grak and Crumbleberry, came highly recommended for the kind of team I'm trying to make. Grak is, obviously, build from an Ogryn kit, and Crumbleberry was made from leftover halfling parts.

Unpainted converted bloodbowl miniatures.
One is an ogre made from 40k ogryn parts. He has a football helmet made from greenstuff sculpting putty and wires, a chain wrapped around his waist, and a loincloth, with a heavily armored kilt and breastplate.
The other is a halfling, splayed out on the ground as though he hit the ground at high speed.

Their coach, reacting to their typical antics. His base model is Dwarf Runesmith.

My treemen. I started this before BB had an official treeman model and Kurnoths were the obvious choice. That said, I took direct inspiration from ones made by Ian Hannam. The one in the middle is my Deeproot Strongbranch, imagined as a tree that grew around a bloodbowl champion's statue.

Three unprimed, converted miniatures.
One is a squirrel, alone on his base. The most deadly of the bunch.
The other three are treemen created using Kurnoth Hunter kits.
The one on the left is Beerbeard, he holds a keg overflowing with booze.
The one on the right is Buddy Holly, he has a ball in the empty cavity of his chest, and is pointing out a bro he sees in the stands.
The one in the middle is The Rock, named for a blood bowl champion statue she carries with her for every game.

The team is called the Hungry Hungry Humans, and this is their mascot: Human Herman. As you can see, as a human he is very tall and belligerent.

Primed, unpainted, heavily converted warhammer miniature.
A castellan robot from warhammer 40k converted into an angry face on legs. Gnashing teeth, prominent eyebrows, nose, and moustache. Looks like its shouting, or ready to storm off and chow down on somebody. On top of it sits a halfling desperately trying to control the contraption with levers sticking out of the top of it.

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.

Some beauty shots of the individual members I took back during the league.

Painted blood bowl miniatures. Orc linemen. Slightly converted with minor head swaps and arm reposes. Black uniforms with yellow trim and trousers. On bases painted to look like cracked asphalt with yellow tufts of grass growing through in places.

Painted blood bowl miniatures. Orc blitzers. One is made from a blitzer mini with an arm re-posed and a sculpted ninja mask. The other is based on a blocker miniature. Black uniforms with yellow trim and trousers. On bases painted to look like cracked asphalt with yellow tufts of grass growing through in places.
