“We didn’t craft anything lmao” isn’t the fucking statement you think it is. Are all these people seriously so. So. SO. Fucking stupid. How related were your parents?

Got my first game of 11th edition (and my first game with orks) today! It was great fun with a lovely opponent! Despite losing I still managed to put up lots of points which was nice. #new40k #warhammer #warhammer40k #orks #bloodangels

This past Saturday I got to play in my second (and probably last) tournament in 10th edition! It was an escalation tournament where I scored higher than ever but lost more than ever too. It was my first games with Tyranids so I cannot really be that upset! #warhammer40k #tyranids #warhammer

Genuinely will be hunting for more just to use them in this. Can’t wait for the chance to use Fire Red Leaf Green Pokémon in this!

Trying out a paint scheme from @heresyforheretics.bsky.social And it’s been a struggle that has me learning lots about glazing and blending!! #warhammercommunity #tau40k #commanderfarsight

This weekend the Salamanders had to face down a 3 monolith army! Chris, my opponent had a lovely painted set of Necrons and we had one hell of a game! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #salamanders40k #necrons #monoliths

Throwback Thursday! Post an army shot! On the left is my mass of Salamnders I finished last night, and in the right is a photo of who they’ll be joining for tournament play this weekend! I definitely need a shot of all of them together! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #Salamanders

Hobby hiatus over the holidays as I take care of family and it’s important but missing painting like a mf. Been thinking about finishing some Warriors of Rohan when I’m home again! #warhammercommunity #middleearth #mesb #waroftherohirrim #rohan #warriorsofrohan #rohirrim #minipainting

Had a BLAST playing my first game of Warhammer 40K in over 10 years! It was my Salamanders vs Griffin’s Kroot/Tau army and it came all the way down to the last roll to see if Vulkan could hold his objective! Can’t wait to play more soon. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #Salamanders40k #40kGame

Kasrkin are models I wanted so bad all the way back when they were metal and fairly my parents said no. As an adult I stumbled across a box set and couldn’t help myself 👀 It was also by first dabble into Object Source Lighting so that was neat for me! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #kasrkin

Kasrkin painted in 85th Cadian colours and with an orange glowing plasma pistol

Had a blast painting up a Salamanders Land Raider Redeemer! This was a model I always wanted as a kid and now the adult money is giving me too much power! #warhammercommunity #salamanders40k #landraider #landraiderredeemer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000

Finally decided that the Museum of Modern Art Vase should be multi use, definitely got some nice flowers in there but the space marines and the tyranids should be fighting over it too. #warhammercommunity #MoMA #salamanders40k #tyranids #psychophage #redemptor

Got to see The Bones of JR Jones in Toronto last night and had a blast! This year my resolution was to go to a concert (or a big event) at least once per month and it’s been a blessing every single time!

Post something red! I’ve been repainting my childhood army from 2007! (I’ll leave some as a reminder of the journey) but I love seeing the progress even with a 10 year hiatus in the middle. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #astramilitarum #imperialguard

Made this for a dinner party last night and I’m still in love with how it came out! A black chocolate cake with some coffee flavouring, covered in a red coloured white chocolate ganache. It was so tasty! #baking #bakingsky #cakes #mordorcake
