Loneliness in a crowded room

Toddler does water colors on a cardboard table protector. I've got a cutting mat and exacto to clean pieces for a rhino

Another hobby time experiment with the toddler. He got pretty good at the water > color > paper order (kept doing water > color > water).

I cleaned up a few bits for a rhino.

Wider container for water to reduce mess. Still have to stop him from sticking the brush tips in his mouth.

Sad to miss it this year but I'll be on baby duty. Would love to know if I could get Lancer signed if I sent it with a friend!

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social maybe you've got some contacts from your last fight with fb?

HEX by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. A long red eye flight listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor in the dark.

Child's watercolors of a frog playing guitar. The cardboard protecting the table is only lightly colored.

Bezerker backpacks in the process of being painted.

Toddler painting experiment was successful! Disposable watercolors for him, some basecoats for me. Didn't stick with it for long, but he wasn't stealing my brushes or paint pots.

Learning all the ways magic got misunderstood and misused in N K Jemisin's Broken Earth was fascinating!

Part 2 hopefully tying it back together, but it could have cut prior to their appearance easily.

For sure! Happy to try and help because there's so much. I started cheaply with a tile pallette or a DIY wet from a takeout container. I'm not an amazing painter but just starting and seeing how I improve each time keeps me coming back. That and all the beautiful minis from GW and beyond

How to Paint Everything Welcome to How to Paint Everything! Here at Goonhammer we’ve been working on a series of articles about how to paint, well, everything. We’re not there yet – it turns out there&#8…

There's a lot of youtube content for technique like thinning paints, drybrushing, etc. If you're a reader like I am, the goonhammer 101 series is fantastic. www.goonhammer.com/how-to-paint...

Painting can be clean edge highlights, slapchop, or grimy weathered grimdark. Or mix it up! There are no rules (unless you show up at a tournament I guess).

Shades are thinned down colors to bring out depth, like panel lining or shading and tones. I use all of them but they all behave differently. More thoughts to follow...

For paints, a big multi pack is a deal but probably more paint than you need? Maybe just a few bottles. There are probably 3v types to be aware of. Regular Acrylics, contrast/speed, and shades/tones. Speed paints flow into details and offer a good quick job of contrast in one bottle.

If you've already got clippers xacto and plastic cement experience that's great! Assembly can be a learning curve of its own. Next is primer brushes and paints. GW brand stuff is fine but overpriced. I've been a big fan of Army Painter Fanatics line of paints and their other tools are well priced.

In regards to supplies you'll need or models? Knowing what tools or experience you're starting with would help. Happy to share some experience!

It's so good to see the comedy interview bits continued after BSG (and the bagpipes)

I'm just going to wait till the full release next year

Phlegmy guffaw because the toddler brought home another cold

Built my Goremongers. Not much painting can happen managing both kids right now, but it feels like progress.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.

Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

Welcome to Pride On Parade! This is a solidarity & fundraising project in support of young transgender people, initially in the UK because that's where I live :)

If you'd like to get involved in any way, or if you'd just like to show off your Pride-themed minis, that'd be awesome!

Outline here:

It's true.

More progress on my Otters! Think I need to stop OSL before I mess something up. #burrowsandbadgers #minipainting

Two otter minatures against a white sheet of paper. One is dressed in yellow with a sling, the other in a kilt with a greatsword.

Otters for Burrows & Badgers, my break between warhammer projects

Wardog armor pads with battle damage and texture paste applied

Love messed up wardogs! I smeared some astrogranite on mine before priming to get some additional texture before rust.

My wardog Crabby, shortly before eating shit due to Splicer Canis

Rooftop party before we charged out and slaughtered our opponents

The Big Gun, firing on the giant flying monster map. So sad to not play on this map

My chaos knights and partner's world eaters managed a victory after heavy losses against double knight opponents

Wonderful time at GHO narrative this weekend with great maps and people. Thanks @goonhammer.com ! #warhammer40k

In progress before GHO. Two otters because I loved the new purples. Very happy with the cape, other highlights will be after the basecoats. #minipainting #burrowsandbadgers

He's ready for GHO Narrative! I'll do some edge highlights later but it's time for an Otter break. Backlog did grow by one model, I'll get to that later. #warhammer40k #minipainting

A Warhammer Knight Moirax in pieces, primed a dull red.

Going into the woods for a week so a progress post. Moirax cleaned, magnetized, and primed. The brass underbody drybrush started. Base is 90% done at least. #miniaturepainting

Table of mdf terrain and miniatures for the Claim No Man's Land mission.

My goetic warlock tore a pore azeb apart before dying like a chump

Final round I had my witch and a downed annointed to his 4 remaining units.

Brutal game of TC versus my buddy's sultanate. He won off some heavy hits and dumb moves on my part. #trenchcrusade
