This is an awful (and old) picture, but I converted a Carnifex into something almost like a hyper-violent donkey - led by a Grot, with the carrot being an OLD Space Marine arm. I was quite satisfied with how I replaced the ripped-off lower jaw of the Carni with an Ork metal one.

EMERGENCY CAT PIC REQUESTED EMERGENCY CAT PIC SUPPLIED LUCY, FIEND OF INDUCING ANXIETY AND MOST BEAUTIFUL EYELINER I HAVE EVER SEEN

A female tabby cat perched delicately on a battered metal balcony, two floors up - staring at the camera with beautiful green eyes, standing above a bowl of bird-seed fat balls.

My friend, EndisNi, passed away on Monday. She was a wonderful person - one of the best, with a sweet treat, a soft hug and a kind word to all she'd ever meet. She was only forty-six - same age as my mum when she, too, died of cancer. Fuck cancer, man.

endisni: Ebony and Tenebrous were aghast.
"Did you hear what those fairies gave her? Beauty, grace and willingness to please? Bast's tits, that's a terrible thing to do to a kitten."
Ten got up on her hind legs. "Never trust a flying thing that gives you a mouthful of glitter when you catch it. Come on, Eb, let's give her our gifts."

"Like half a shrew? I tried giving her that, her dam shouted at me."

"Quite right too," said Ten wisely. "it's got be at least four weeks before she can manage the skulls. That'll be my gift then. May you always be able to manage skulls. Big ones, small ones, beaky ones, mousey ones, any sort of skull."

Ebony copied her sister's pose. "And may you always catch the flying things. Then you'll never be hungry, and that's much better than fairy wishes."

Thirty years later, Alba was everyone's favourite keeper at the zoo. Not only could she cure her colleagues' headaches just by telling their skulls to give over, but she was the only person they'd ever know who could work alone in the emu enclosure...

I have a lovely mothery cat that I'd LOVE to foster kittens for (to help her, and help them! She gets so stressed when she hears kittens and can't find them :( ) but my other cat Benny is a grumpy old man and I'm a bit nervous it might not end well. One day, though. I take care of oldies and babs!

A white and tabby cat with green eyes and a pink nose (eyes and nose lined with black) looks at the camera, standing delicately on a metal balcony fence. Beneath her is a bowl of bird fat balls.

This is Lucy!

An elderly white and tabby cat is sleeping half on a keyboard (that glows red under the keys) and half on a wooden desk; a red dressing gown sleeve cradles his bum from falling off the desk.

This is Benny!

This 17 year old is certainly starting to show his age, but is absolutely still a little baby man. I am so sorry for your loss <3

I think he knew, and maybe couldn't think of a way to extricate himself.

An anonymised comment:
"I'm glad Terry isn't alive to witness this, it's just so depressing that this is still happening in this day and age, it feels like the human race is regressing"

A response from the author Robert Rankin:
"Terry told me he wished he'd never worked with him, but I never found out why."

PVP is not approved of during Whamageddon, stranger. Survival game, not battle royale! (I didn't open the link, but "apropos of nothing" gave me the sus)

Sorry I am being vague, but I don't remember where I found this #miniature. I wanted to convert it into a Tyranid, but alas, I cannot find it after three or four house moves... Anyone recognise it?

A grey unpainted resin miniature, with an oval base and six legs scattered around a large, bulbous and armoured torso. An iPod Classic is placed nearby for scale.

The miniature vs the painter! The Tyranid is mine, and no, I don't really show my face anywhere >.>

A purple-and-grey Tyranid standing versus a squad of blue Ultramarines.

A white woman sitting facing away from the camera. Her back is covered in a large biomechanical back tattoo in purples, reds and teals, with a white engine core in the middle of her back. The logos for the artists Perturbator, Carpenter Brut and Dan Terminus are on either shoulder plate and across the upper middle of her spine.

This is Lucy. Lucy is beautiful. She's also a fiend, and looks absolutely fucking adorable in tiny purple onesies.

A cat sits on a white windowsill in a purple room. There is green ivy on a tree visible through the window.
The cat is mostly tabby in colour, with white paws and white fur up her chest and lower face. Her green eyes stare at the camera.

A small tabby cat lies sleeping upon a black PC case, with a small pink nose peeking out behind her front paw.
The cat is wearing a purple and white striped onesie, and an "M" size label is visible by her belly.
A green curtain frames the upper half of the image.

I share this zooted mouse for you, on this most depressing of days. We'll get through this somehow.

A zoomed out image of a garden patch. There are scattered, chewed marujiana leaves all about, and a sleeping mouse lying on its back, high off the cannabis.

Hello darlings. Promise I'll try to remember to actually post here, and interact more often. Expect much retweeting of things I consider important! Here's my lovely chassis, though!
