This week we chat to one of the only sculptors who hasn't worked at Games Workshop, Ian from Fenris Games. Ian's sculpting and modeling story is incredible, he's worked on movies, made 1:1 model trains, and now runs Fenris Games making loads of miniatures and scenery for the tabletop. https://fenrisgames.com/ Army of Duckness: http://kck.st/3EHYnRk Join our Patreon: https://patreon.com/thepaintingphase Merch: https://thepaintingphase.creator-spring.com Streaming: https://www.twitch.tv/thepaintingphase01 Help Support the channel with our affiliate links: UK & EU: https://affiliates.waylandgames.co.uk/idevaffiliate.php?id=1214 UK: https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=10835 EUROPE: https://taschengelddieb.de/?affiliate=tpp US: use code paintingphase to get 10% off at https://www.goblinshut.com/ We Print Miniatures: https://weprintminiatures.com/thepaintingphase THEPAINTINGPHASE for 10% off Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/thepaintingphase/ https://www.instagram.com/__peachy_tips__/ https://www.instagram.com/geoffsavory/ https://www.instagram.com/pileofshamepaints/ Where we get our music: https://artlist.io/Patrick-75781 Contact us: thepaintingphase@gmail.com The Eurostar to Miniatures: A Modeling Masterclass with Fenris Games

If you're new to Bluesky, or new to following me, you've probably missed this handy "who the hell are you?" video guide from Peachy & Co at the Painting Phase.

I think I have nearly everything they produced but its a shame to see them go. Crooked Dice games have picked up some or all of the line - they appear to have some still online.

A cartoon drawing of a moray eel, depicted here as whie with black spots on it against a red background. The eel has a speech bubble saying 'Death is Inevitable'. Below a caption reads 'Memento Moray'. Artist: Gemma Correll, '15.

Another filthy morning here, so it's certainly a day for The Best Cartoon:

CARTOON OF THE DAY

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social Thanks for making so many good Mimic miniature options! #dungeonsanddragons

This past week was a dark one for many of us. It saw the return of Donald Trump to the White House and the targeting of the most vulnerable Americans in a torrent of deplorable executive orders. But there was some light among the darkness.

Just in case it wasn't clear enough!

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Meta surrenders to the right on speech “I really think this a precursor for genocide,” a former employee tells Platformer

Today’s Platformer.news on Meta rolling up its fact-checking and loosening content moderation is a seriously good analysis of how the social media giant is creating “dire” safety risks around the world. www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch... @caseynewton.bsky.social

Would you divide him up? Leaving the head until last? He feels like a 2 to 3 slices of toast spread 😂

It's December 1st , I'm going for a slightly different advent this year– introducing 20 days of the worst fox hunting crimes from across the country with @huntsabs.bsky.social . Up first , the Avon Vale Hunt . . .

#Dragonmeet 2025 at ExCeL now confirmed!

They’re planning a heist in plain sight.

Fun playing #marvel crisis protocol. Lots of buildings and cars being thrown around.

I get a lot of those and real estate and various spiritual, religious earth spirit accounts. Feels mostly harmless but is taking my time because at first I feel I owe them a follow. Then realise it’s just a spam account.

Nice 👌

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I didn’t leave X because people there had different opinions and ideologies, I left because it stopped being fun. I get on social media to chat with people who think thinking is fun. X stopped being a place where that was true.

So many great products and people at #dragonmeet this year. My wallet was straining with the amazing creativity levels.

It was a great show. So much creativity in the RPG space, I was buzzing after the day and also had no money left. 😂

I’m happy for the Biden family. This has been a long and undeserved nightmare. May they find peace these holidays.
