The Lion of Eltharion: the armour has been hollowed out everywhere it shows. I might redo him if there's ever a primarch-scale left arm holding a sword #warhammercommunity #wepaintminis #nerdlings #40k #darkangels

Front view of a Warhammer 40k miniature: Lion El'Johnson. A huge figure in a suit of white armour with gold details. He bears a sword and shield, the sword glowing like molten metal. His helm is winged and impractical.

Side view of a Warhammer 40k miniature: Lion El'Johnson. A huge figure in a suit of white armour with gold details. His shield bears the device of a red eagle holding a serpent in its beak

Rear view of a Warhammer 40k miniature: Lion El'Johnson. A huge figure in a suit of white armour with gold details. His cape is green and voluminous.

I'm about due a replay of Ur-Quan Masters

A 3x3 grid of videogame covers. Space Crusade (my entry route into 40k), Flimbo's Quest (one of few C64 games I had on a cartridge), Fiendish Freddy's Big Top Of Fun (same cart I think), Lazer Lords (horrible game, great claymation), Pirates! (taught me a lot of Caribbean geography), Star Control 2 (the writing is phenomenal), Diablo 2 (installed a second copy on my flatmate's machine so I could move items between characters), X-Wing vs Tie Fighter (I was fond of the power systems management), Creatures 2 (the art style really stuck with me)

The next time you feel the urge to be a condescending prick, perhaps take the five seconds to check whether or not you may in fact be dead wrong

Eldrazi Displacer my beloved. Retrigger your ETBs, eat tokens, threaten to screw up multiblocks

An Eldrazi with the extra limbs and floaty head bits of one of Kozilek's brood. It's two and a white for a 3/3 with the activated ability: "2 and a colourless: Exile another target creature, then return it to the battlefield tapped under its owner’s control"

Legal threats on the ground now, is it?

I was in the middle of a photoshoot and I turned around and this was happening

Achievement unlocked! Props to the opponent for sitting through this nonsense #MtGArena #Magic #Nonsense

A screenshot from a game of Brawl on Magic the Gathering: Arena where some nerd has assembled the four-card-combo of the members of the Fantastic Four. Johnny Storm pings the opponent, causing counters to be placed on Ben Grimm, which triggers Sue Storm to make a token 0/4, which triggers Reed Richards to draw you a card, which causes Johnny Storm to ping the opponent, which …

Brother Sergeant Launciel, of the Risen The arms on the first attempt were a bit out of scale, much happier with this version. Plus now he has a proper breacher shield #warhammercommunity #wepaintminis #nerdlings #40k #warhammer

A Space Marine in heresy-era black power armour with red and silver details. He carries a power sword and a breacher shield bearing the insignis of the Dark Angels. One greave is white with three diagonal red stripes, the personal heraldry of Sir Lancelot. He has dark skin and a grey beard, his forehead branded with a cross

Bevedan, of the Risen I couldn't get the pose to work with a bionic left hand so you'll just have to trust me that it's under his glove. The red and gold striped helm is a reference to Bedivere's arms: or, a gonfalon gules #warhammercommunity #wepaintminis #nerdlings #40k #darkangels #risen

A Space Marine in battered black heresy-era power armour. He wears red robes and has skulls hanging from his belt. In his left hand he wields a power spear while his right glows with psionic energy. He wears a tall double-crested helm
