Trench Crusade table progress. EAGER for Diceverse to release their whale carcasses next month.

“Gradually?” Bezos, you absolute tit, there’s nothing _gradual_ about it. The growth of my minis collection is many things: it is inexorable, constant, a cause for concern… but it is not gradual.

Still doesn’t look like much but it still is progress. I think things are going to snap into focus once I get to the leather & metal details. If I can get this batch done by the end of next weekend I’ll be delighted. Want to get them to the table soon!

All packed for MC/DC this weekend but on an impulse pulled down Web-Warrior’s She Hulk ‘Pool deck and threw it on table with the Cap Marvel Agg deck I’ve packed. Some close moments (would have lost if he’d schemed with any Boost at 1 point) but won and had a blast with it. So into the box it goes.

Getting frustrated by how the Viking effort is coming along (done with the first dozen but the next two dozen are crawling) and hyped for Crusading in Trenches, so pivoting to that. Everyone’s basecoated but I’m starting with these creeps.

First batch of underpainted + speedpainted guys are done. Hated them mid-process, but now that they’re done, I’m fine with them. I can do much better, but done is done and there’s a lot to be said for that. Going to power through the rest of my vikings this way.

Same decks vs Bullseye on Protection Racket. Tough, but I thought I had it under control (I didn’t) Spidey’s scheme killed itself off: 9 Threat, drew the Shop Proprietor and the scheme forced the 10th threat as a result. Yikes!

FINALLY. After net-listing (folks, I’m not a deckbuilder), Leadership Spidey and Aggression Cap Marvel did the thing. Carol went down but Spidey immediately responded with a Swinging Web Kick to wrap it up. 90% of the game was at Hammerhead I; like 2 rounds at II

Black Widows Because BW3 (not the restaurant) is fighting an Ultron bot, painting Ultron meant I also needed to paint her, and that meant I needed to paint all 3 of her.

I’ve been playing a fair bit of Marvel Champions lately; I like it a lot but also am very bad at it. Started taking a crack at FNE - Hammerhead, Raft Breakout, Tombstone, The Owl. Echo & Daredevil. Multiple passes, all failures. Yesterday tried with Spidey and Iron Man: lost Turn 2 😅

Marvel Champions - Spider-Man at half HP, Iron Man at 2. Hammerhead unscathed. Spider-man Nemesis in play, Iron Man Obligation triggered. Main scheme maxed out.

Heroes lost. Turn 2. Ouch!

This looks like shit, partly because it’s potato-cam but mostly because I’m trying slapchop. I’m a master at sabotaging myself by overthinking painting Dark Age models and sinking more effort into them than they deserve and need, so I took a crack a test model. It’s alright.

My incredible, talented wife has submitted a quilt to the state fair competition for the first time!

Quilt. Someone better equipped could describe the pattern & colors, but unfortunately I’m the one stuck with the alt text and all I can offer is “a quilt.”

This is my basecoat down for a 1490 Doom board. I’d been planning on painting it up as my generic “dirt” (see second photo of recent display board for exactly how that would work out) & using as a generic 2’ round table, but now I’m thinking of leaving it like this, more or less. Takes requested.

1490 Doom Starter terrain is done. No, not a lot of work but it’s all I’ve had bandwidth for since last week.

It’s been a gift to watch Cricket get old. She’s over 13 now. Just in the past year, she’s started barking at the door (never much of a barker… until now). Her new thing: fishing food boxes out of recycling and giving them the chomp. Just in the last week.

I’m picky about companies using 3D printing for retail product… I’ve a printer myself and almost always the quality is worse than what I’d produce on my own. My 1490 Doom starter got here, though, and it’s fantastic. This frame thing protects the prints and, because why not, doubles as scatter.

Air quality is, of course, the root of this avoidance. The first photo is the last time I was up there, in 2024 on a Sunday. But also, I did Richmond Open, which was (second photo) quite a bit worse at times! Gotta break through that block.

Current workbench: working my way through the two MCP core boxes. Painting 1 Ultron meant painting 8 Ultrons and 3 Black Widows because my brain is broken. Current WIPs and what I’ve painted and need to get to the lightbox. Did Ultron with fluorescents, for some reason.

Got popped in the face with a branch yesterday. Was wearing a mask (folks mask up when doing yardwork), so my face didn’t get too dinged up but, would prefer it hadn’t happened. The bottom cut is from the wire in my mask, the top much worse but also could be worse.
