Fun day out at Spru. Said hello to friends and bought a few models from Vae Victims, Finsterfey and Owlshield (Necropolis28). A promising first year event!

Alone mini bust from Mindworks Art Studio. Been a while since I picked up the brushes for anything other than tabletop so this was a nice, quick project to spend a couple of hours on. Size comparison against a penny for the size queens among you.

The mighty Count Binface. I didn't want to paint it in black and grey like every other version, so I imagined this is how he looks when strolling through woodlands on his home planet, with his natural colours, rather than the dowdiness he's forced to endure when visiting our planet.

It's a week until #SPRU. Excited to get back up to Nottingham for the first time in a couple of years. If anyone's around next week, a couple of us will be at WHW on Friday afternoon too.

Bit of WIP today on a few models. Very much at different points in the sizing scale.

Heroes for Dungeon Saga Origins: barbarian, ranger, paladin and fighter. We've been playing this a lot in our gaming group recently and thoroughly enjoying it. As a result, I thought it was time they were painted, albeit quickly. Lovely game from @manticgames.bsky.social. Definitely recommended.

I'm at the airport to pick up a friend, and I'm embarrassed by the number of people my age holding up the speaker end of their mobile phone to their ear, rather than use the phone as it's intended. This is my petty frustration for today.

This weekend I attended my first #Dogma48 weekender. Bit off more than I could chew for 48 hours, and wouldn't say it's close to finished so technically I failed, but I started with a primed model and happy to get the ambiance and two characters finished. Happy with what I achieved in the time.

Two-tier Necromunda scene in blues and greens, with two characters in the centre; a dodgy salesman and an out-of-place military attaché.

Watched the England vs Argentina game last night with my son. When Argentina's second goal went in, they cut to the crowd looking mournful and my son said "that old lady looks sad" ... ... it was Mick Jagger, and yet he wasn't wrong.

I notice recently resigned politicians standing for byelections are doing a lot of talking, and not a lot of actual good for their constituency. I propose a little less conversation, and a little more Clacton.

First game of 40k 11th edition this evening. Not bad. Faster to play, even if we skipped a few rules on the way. Rule access is still a friction point. Had to pull in my old Space Wolves as a proxy for the unbuilt new ones, and my Orks need more work, but it was just nice to get time on the table.

My Armageddon box finally arrived after several days of postal delays. A small thing that's struck me is how well thought out the models are. Recessed glue joints, mould lines concealed like a champ. I think calling the build a joy would be a stretch, but it hasn't been a pain point. Very welcome.

Came across the demo of this on Steam yesterday. Five hours in and can't get past day 11, but having a whale of a time trying. Sci-fi resource building tower defense with a gorgeous art style? Yes please. store.steampowered.com/app/4809240/...

Commissar, Epic scale. It's always difficult to know how best to present these models, as it's easy to overlook how small they are, so here's a picture of him being intimidated by a Space Marine's kneecap for scale. #Nerdlings #PaintingWarhammer #AdeptusTitanicus #Epic

Japanese Battle Frame Infantry Officers. Lovely models from @warlordgames.com. It was really the handsome front lad I wanted to paint, the others were a bonus. I put them on a dungeon tile from @fenrisgames.com to make it look like a coastal scene. #Nerdlings #WarlordGames

Well, that's my transport and display trays magnetised and based today. Perfect weather for PVA and ballast fixer to dry outdoors, rather than stinking up the house. All hail the marvellous @warbases.bsky.social for sorting that out, despite undoubtedly flat out prepping for #UKGE this week.

Started work on this beaut of a Genestealer Magus. Think I'll try and actually see how well I can paint it ... or at least that can be the plan right now, then I'll wuss out later in the week and call it done after three more hours instead of really pushing myself.
