Did a 500 mineral #StarcraftTMG game this afternoon at my FLGS. Terran vs Zerg. It went about as well as I expected it to. I only remembered to take one picture, but it captures how the game went for my Terran forces accurately. Had a lot of fun and I can't wait to play again though. #Nerdlings

Working on Jim Raynor from the #Starcrafttmg and went for a SC1 color scheme. Waiting on some stuff to arrive in the mail to finish him up, then real pictures. But all that's left is some touchups, weathering and try to freehand the skeleton on his pauldron from SC2. #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings

Just about done with my first squad of Terran marines. Need to do a little more clean up, basing and seal them. Does anyone have any suggestions for decals for them? #Miniaturepainting #Nerdlings #Starcrafttmg

Got my assignment for the Paint Roulette Invitational. Spots and Basic. That means circles, dots, spheres etc and one color only (shades and tints of that color allowed). Now to pick a mini and settle on a color. I'm leaning towards either red or blue... #miniaturepainting #PaintRouletteInvitational

Some photos from yesterday's #Battletech game at our FLGS. 5 players, 2-3 units each 6k BV. I ran a Kontio and a JHK-03 Jade Hawk and just punched all the things.

Some pictures of tonight's game at our FLGS. Waco's Rangers faced off against Clan Ghost Bear Alpha Galaxy. Game ends in a victory for Waco after the Clan forces were defeated. The Vulture took the Awesome with it though through a headshot as it was cored. #Battletech #Nerdlings

Had a small 1v1v1 match at the FLGS last night. New player ran a SW-era Thunderbolt and a ilClan-era Stalker, other player ran a Viking IIC and a Bruin and I ran two flavors of Rakshasa using the new fancy mini and the derpy but beloved metal one. #battletech

I can now show the #Battletech minis I painted for Masters & Minions at GenCon. First time doing this and I got to paint minis for @michaelastackpole.bsky.social I am absolutely over the moon after I found out he was using them. Sadly I didn't have a photo booth when I took these. #miniaturepainting

Good buddy that went to GenCon was kind enough to snag me a copy of the new Core Box, Core Rulebook, Starter Box and the new Madcat TC premium mini. Can't wait to get my hands on them and paint them up. #Battletech

Pictures from last night's super-heavy showdown at our FLGS. My Omega with a spotter Locust with C3i deleted a Wraith turn one. Then weathered turn after turn of assault from an angry Apollo and a few salvoes from another Omega. #Battletech

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Just wrapped up #SoonerCon this past weekend. Had a huge turnout for #Battletech multiple scenarios over multiple days, King of the Hill, Gothic, a never-ending Grinder and a small Learn To Play area before we sent new players into the Grinder. Had a ton of fun and already planning for next year.
