WIP Got the checkers and decal down on the warboss. I think I'll focus on him tomorrow then push on with the dakkarig. Vehicles are such a big mouthful...

I really wish I could play it, I am usually down for Remedy nonsense (Alan Wake 2 was excellent), but the movement is too swimmy, gives me motion sickness/headache. I'm going to make my bro play it so I can see it all.

Good Morning WIP Still assembling the dakkarig! I find vehicles to be a big, boring mouthful, but let's hope ork wackiness makes this more fun than a *&^% rhino

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 5 by @grumpykiltpin.bsky.social Made From Girders #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A scavenged Space Marine Rhino with a Whirlwind missile launcher has been pressed into service by a group of grots. The fact that it stopped working didn't stop them. They just added some big wheels and are have it dragged around by two enormous armoured beasts. It has been (badly) painted bright orange and blue.

I'm not going to get these done before orktober becauussseee I convinced myself September had a 31st. Alas. I could shelve these a month but so much can be destroyed by mere chance in a month. I may need to push through and also work on orks somehow

WIP Got the freehand done... but can I finish the rest before the calendar ticks over? Orktober approaches

Skull @skullectomy.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Good Morning WIP Still working on a bladeguard and some rifle-rats. I have the slapchop steps all done, now to freehand a small amount of hazard stripes and lots of fire. I'm racing the calendar to have these off my desk b4 orktober 1st.

Skull @skullectomy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I know I have some, somewhere, but God help me I don't know how long it would take to find them

If I could will a movie into existence it would be The Question played by Keanu Reeves. Keanu can do the martial arts that are big in the Denny O'Neil version, and his flat affect works for both Vic and The Question.

Skull @skullectomy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

He's also just a joke about Fox Mulder in the cartoon version. I'm really fond of The Question and how various writers wildly reinterpret him over time. Dennis O'Neil's run in the late 80s is one of my absolute fave cape books. In the idk 2000s or so he was doing drugs and talking to the City.

4. I have a few of that gen that are solid rock now

Hope that helps. I'll try to better document the next time I do a power sword, I'm still figuring this out

Sponge the blues over the edges of the blade to taste. You want to be able to vaguely see the lightning path. Do some bounce lighting while you're at it. Pick the ulthuan grey and white scar back in, and edge the blade with them. Done. 3/3

First I drew the lightning, using the larger brush for the blues and then the smaller one for the grey and white. The game here is start blobby and paint inside the lines. Only use the white scar sparingly, at corners and such. This will get part obliterated by next step so don't worry much 2/3

The recipe is Caledor sky, thousand sons blue, ulthuan grey and white scar. Brushes were a #1 and a #3/0 liner brush, cheap ones from an art store (cheap to me being 6 Canada loonies each) and a dollar store makeup applicator. 1/3

Only my first time making it sort of work! Here's some process shots, ask me when my head hurts less if you want recipe/pointers/whatever

Yeah there's some bounce lighting on the torso too. I thought that's what I needed to add to sell it.

Power sword process for the eager fan. Now to see if I can do the thrusters before I have to go to therapy
