Appropriately, tonight I hit a terrific thrift find and recompleted my old EU collection lost some time ago. Having the whole New Jedi Order together again warms the soul. Give me the franchise for a bit Disney, I still think "masochistic luddites immune to magic" has gas.

Found an appropriate sized container to put a scaffold sprue and make a texture palette for dry brushing with bulk bits (so many arms and yelling men). Made up some sprue goo to try for strength and I'm really liking it as a modeling tool already. #minipainting

Doing some #kitbash experiments with shoulder mounted weaponry. The LMG turned out great, the missiles took a couple tries but I'm pretty happy with this result. #miniatures #wargaming

First militia fire team of #Tau Gue'vesa. Honestly feel like they kind of highlight my struggles with big panels and stuff, but I'm satisfied enough with them for now. I've got 4 more similarly kitted ones in the queue eventually. #minipainting #kitbash #warhammer

Put together some lizard dude power armor. Heavily inspired by Starfinder Vesk, but I ended up deciding against doing tails so not actually lore accurate. #kitbash #miniatures

Picked up a box of @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Valkir troopers for some additional power armored kitbash options. I did one sprue as intended; a bit fiddly to get together but they turned out great.

We love some Gue'vesa! Always good to see some lost souls escape their false god and find the Greater Good. I really like the added bits you did on the guns, I've always had mixed feelings about the regular lasguns in my squad.

I really should have gotten pictures of the sprues when these pieces were just randomly scattered as needed to fit. Those TTCombat folks are impressively creative.

A couple more MDF #miniterrain buildings, both from TTCombat: the Octopod Skyway and Guard Tower. I tried to find stuff that was a little more dynamic and friendly to mix and match than big bespoke pieces, even if the big pieces were really cool.

Ah, yes, a conflicted father figure must choose to put his pledge to defend Earth before his love for his estranged adopted son, who no longer believes in his Father's dream, ending in his sacrifice for victory in the space above the Earth he loved so dearly. Love the Horus Heresy.

Weekend Project #3: 5PDR, mechanical terror and master. A really fun kitbash and a good test for the AP metallic speed paints. They're fine, less opaque than other speed paints I've used, mostly they're just good metallics. Worked well here! #minipainting #kitbash #mini365 Minis YTD: 62 (+1)

I obviously recommend it lol. The first two seasons are a fantastic Southern Gothic romance, but the new season/show really flipped it on its head by completely changing perspectives and tone in a great way that really leveled up the story. And everyone is so painfully attractive...

As promised: my old cat roommates as Tabaxi; Stevie and Jackson. Unfortunately I don't have pictures at hand as it's been at least one phone since I lived with them. Fun fact, irl Jackson is a tripod so there was some debate while holding a pair of snippers about real world accuracy vs fantasy 😂

In the name of the Archon, Hammer Squad, Pt II of the philia. Potentially a third heavy weapon component in the future, but that's it for now. Planning to take a break from modeling; this was the last idea really stuck in my head and I'm overdue for some painting. #Warhammer #kitbash

I quickly get tired of certain cycles of #ttrpg discourse, so I keep an important trick in my back pocket: When I get bored of a conversation I casually refer to a popular PBTA game as an "Apocalypse World module" and suddenly we're having a very different but equally vigorous conversation.

Final results of the Great Sprue Clipping. Got pretty much all my sci-fi down to 3 of the organizers with fantasy occupying #4. Life feels like it may be calming down and like I may actually be able to commit to hobby stuff for the first time in a long time.

So I read Jonathon Livingston Seagull and my brain did this

An image of Sonic the Hedgehog in a textbox. It reads, "Sonic says... You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there."

My Stargrave sprue binge left me with an abundance of arms and heads, so I picked up some Spellcrow torsos and legs to fill in some. Quite happy with the bit stockpile. The sprue pile is almost complete as I get everything sorted into storage.

The kitbash train continues with technocultists; Stargrave spiced up with a bit of Warhammer and some Kromlech bits. The robot arm bits ended up a bit long, but hey if you're going to replace your limbs with robot arms why *not* go big? #kitbash #minipainting #miniatures
