My Heretic Navel Raiders are coming along great. It’s been a long time since I’ve batch painted anything this fast and I really like how well this kit takes paint. Now onto the filth wash 😈 #trenchcrusade #wip #nerdlings

Humans can smell rain 250,000x better than a shark can smell blood due to a reaction with a chemical called geosmin. It’s an unsung superpower we all have but not a lot of people know about!

Finally got an hour window to prime my Navel Raiders before the hurricane hits. Someone who is not my husband wants to play with me so I got a fire up my ass to finish something for once.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is such a sweet game and a wonderful intro into jrpgs. It revolves around you helping monsters with acts of kindness, like helping a fox cub find a flower to cure his family’s illness. The gameplay is very simple and forgiving. Perfect for kiddos and cozy gamers

Really fun game last night! Loved engaging with the mission while taking my murder hobo lust out on the monks. I’m getting my first models when our Carcass Front box shows up and can’t wait.

That’s so cool! Whenever your kiddo makes a game I’d love to help play test it!

Neato! I’m interested in how it reacts to being mixed with normal paints.

🏳️‍⚧️Mel🏳️‍🌈 @tokolope.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

That’s good to know! Even I still struggle with keeping my paint schemes bright, so hearing that this will bring down the difficulty for most painters sounds awesome.

My better half is selling his Fantasy Dark Elf army and let me take some of the leftovers. I’m still struggling with the paints I have available but I can’t get better if I don’t try! Too bad the picture doesn’t show how cool the metallic armor looks under bad light

I’d love to try out the new paints but my GW manager is a bastard and I ain’t driving up to Orange County for a demo. For anyone who paints nails; does it go on like UV gels? I feel like the coverage is similar but I can only infer through photos.

Real Infowars is everything I’ve ever wanted as a spiritual successor to Adult Swim’s infomercials. It’s one of those things that gets increasingly more funny the longer you watch it.

I don’t know if I can help but this is how I paint snow. I use AK neutral texture as a base and partially dried out Valhallan Blizzard on top to give it a more fluffy look. It’s not perfect, but I like it as a simple, two step process.

Very excited for Necromunda role play because it’s finally something my brother in law wants to do with me. He’s too sweat to play casual miniature games but is an amazing GM. Plus I have my gaggle of Logans World rpg characters ready to go so I don’t have to spend any money. hell yeah.

🏳️‍⚧️Mel🏳️‍🌈 @tokolope.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Making art for people is a million times more fulfilling than forcing out stuff just to lessen my backlog. I can’t wait to show off what I’m working on but I gotta keep it a secret until she ships. 🌝

Blitz Bowl is $35 on Barnes and Noble right now if any Americans are looking for cheap minis! Plus there’s cards for all 2nd ed teams so it’s not limited to just the teams in the box.

Twelve miniatures from Games Workshops’ Blitz Bowl tabletop game. The six on the right are grey bare plastic “The Dwarf Cannoneers” team while on the left there are six “The Orc Rampagers” in red bare plastic.

Mission success and on my way home. TSA in SLC was as humiliating as usual though. There’s no bigger loser behavior than being a GS4 and thinking you’re above everyone for doing government shit work.

It’s a bit sentimental to fly on one of the planes my dad and I worked on while we were in aerospace together. Although he’s gone at least I have something that still connects us, even if it’s just a dumb sky bus.
