#HobbyStreak day 666: finishing up my first unit of HH era Death Guard in prep for gloss varnish and streaking grime. Made the mistake of having one bare head, so now I'm painting eyes. It's finicky work. Gotta go to work, will finish up later.

I've had a great #weekend!
Spent most of yesterday with friends #painting #minatures.

Took these from a half finished prpject taking forever to an almost finished team of wonderful rats. Finished the bases today. Gonna varnish them when this fog lifts (read: not tonight).

Got my flame tank inspired by the original 80s epic model finished up.

I might have scored the Horus Heresy core rules, and both the #Astartes and #Hereticus rulebooks. I might have tanks on my mind. Death Guard or Iron Warriors? Who knows... Why not both?

From a conversation with @hsorlie , I’m reminded of possibly my worst #warhammer40k pun:

Tau’sand Sons!

I don’t think I’ve shared this model here before, but it’s a conversion I’m particularly proud of. A fair bit was sculpted from plasticard or green stuff, and I especially liked the vibe.

Dread aught built, and I realise I’ve made a terrible mistake. Can you tell what it is?

Still, that’s all the combat patrol magazine models for Space Marines and Tyranids now assembled!

Investigating Meshy AI to see if something like that would be useful to generate bespoke scatter terrain for 3D printing.

Decently impressed with my first attempt! I would totally consider printing that…

Prompt: "a stumpy, gnarled, leafless tree, growing from a pile of rubble and rocks, with a collection of oil barrels propped up against it”

Having read the Heresy books, the Rise of the Beast's Search for Vulkan is pretty funny. In the Heresy it took like 4 books for the Salamanders to find him and they were looking hard. In the war of the Beast its like one Imperial Fist and he just finds out where Vulkan is and goes there and asks for a hand. #warhammer #wh40k #amReading @bookstodon

Huh! I’m surprised just how well cheap plastic army men paint up. You could have two Bolt Action armies in a bucket for €30

#HobbyStreak 1193

Played a #meme team league game of #BloodBowl - my squirrel #Khorne versus Joost's Amish #ChaosDwarfs

Brutal game. 1st half I crowd surfed half of them and scored. Blood Spawn (Rabbit of Caerbannog) did zero removals.

2nd half he started with 3 removals, 1 being the Blood Spawn via Officious Ref, and then I diced myself.

Final results
1-2 touchdowns
3-3 casualties
1-8 fouls

What a belter of a game
