Do I think £3.50 is an insane price for a box of cereal and nobody should be suckered into it just because of branding? Yes. Did I dig through the boxes to make sure I got a Squirtle one? Also yes.

Still a fair bit of tidying up to do. Dragon is very true to the original box art, but I changed the colours on Prince Imrik, I couldn't bring myself to paint green and red. Also, quite pleased with the green stuff pennants and freehand. Nice upgrade to the paper banners that come with the kit.

It IS quite fun that when I meet local regulars there's often "aren't you the one that leaves a Trubbish everywhere?"

My favourite part about eBay rescue Space Marines is stripping people's clumsy attempts at making them Ultramarines and turning them into proper Imperial Fists ✊️

Armageddon Ancient I already have a few ancients so I tried to mix this one up by giving it a back standard with an impaled ork skull, inspired by one of the crusade ancient standard options, along with some extras like a stole and relic skull

I needed 1 more Spirit Seer for my Ulthwe Wraith army and I'll be damned before I just use another of the same sculpt XD. So used the Warlock base and did my best. Bonus pic of him with his fellows. #Warhammer40k

There's something at once delusional and condescending about McDonald's referring to its customers as "guests". Listen, we all now why we're here: to collectively swill at the trough of miscellany. It's not a hotel.

Had a some great games of 3rd ed with @mrllamatastic.bsky.social, it just works so smoothly! I was a particular fan of our jump chaplains having mirror matches in murdering half the opponents army in game 1, then charging and instantly killing each other in game 2.

This little nugget of accurate pronunciation was tattooed on my brain at 13yrs old and has resulted in nearly 3 decades of people giving me funny looks when they hear it. BUT - it's fantastic to come across another learned scholar in the wild! 😄

Plugging where plugging is due, this is the stuff: shop.instarpaint.com/product/wate... Also works to improve paint flow if you mix in a couple drops on your palette. There's also Extender+ which stops it drying out. I tried it out ~5yrs ago fully thinking it sounded like a scam, but it's great! 😄

Last night I stayed up way too late wibbly-wobbling every paint I own, bringing them back to serviceable condition after so long sat still. Water+ from Instar has once again more than made its money back by resurrecting even borderline-crayon level paints!
