It also has a variable flight stand I designed.

I feel like enough time has passed to post the gift I sent to my secret Santa this year for Darkfire Designs. I hope everyone is staying safe.

The station was lost, I could only instruct
The bastion computer to set self-destruct.

I failed to kill him, for I saw as I fled,
The target escaping, quite safe in his sled.

I heard it cry out as the base burst into light,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

A bolter, a flamer, a new power fist,
The Claus gave to all, and he checked off a list.
It moved through the station and left in its wake,
The sound of bright laughter and the stench of fruit cake.

The others succumbed, but it failed in its goal,
For to me it gave only a small pile of coal.

But the marines paused – our charge was disrupted,
They picked up the gifts and were quickly corrupted.

For each box contained a chaotic present –
The marines (damn their souls), found them quite pleasant.

As we thundered towards him, closing the rift,
He reached in his satchel and pulled out a gift.

Then it tossed the vile boxes – I fell in a stoop,
As they arced through the air at me and my troops.

The wrapped missiles fell short, and plopped at our feet,
Our morale was strong, we did not retreat.

Screaming my orders, I spun quickly around,
As down the chimney shaft it came with a bound.

I saw its eyes glow, its vast stomach gurgle,
Bloated and fat, like a deamon of Nurgle.

Blinded by anger, I attacked with a scream –
Charged into battle with my brave Space Marines.

But all through this maelstrom the evil one flew,
Past plasma and bolt shells and frag that we threw!

And then, to my horror, I heard on the roof
The vile cavorting of each decadent hoof.

“Fire Marines! Fire Guardsmen! Fire Ogryn and Ratlings!
Fire bolters! Fire lasguns! Fire mortars and gatlings!”
“You in the courtyard and you men on the walls!
Now blast away! Blast away! Blast away all!”

And a fiery red nimbus glowed from the sled.
The driver was mighty, his eyes full of scorn,
Dressed all in crimson like a servant of Khorne.
I gestured for other to shoot without pause,
For I was now certain this was Santa Claus.

Away to the window, I ran to take aim
As the marines around me all did the same.
My bionic eye turned the night into day
Allowed me to see, and to seek out my prey.
When what did my loyal ocular show,
But an ancient conveyance, knee-deep in the snow.
The vehicle was pulled by horned quadrupeds

The guardsmen were ensconced, asleep in their beds,
All the tanks too were safe, secure in the sheds.
Marines in the barracks, some manning the wall,
Assured me that the bastion never would fall.
When out in the yard there arose such discord
I grabbed up my bolter and unsheathed my sword.

The Night Before 986996.M41
(by Pat Marstall)
‘Twas the night before 986996.M41, and all through the station
All there was clear, there was no abomination.
My helmet was set on the desk to my right,
On the chance that I was to need it that night.

Welcome to the cool side of the pillow Elle! Lol

I just enjoy building and painting tanks in general. I think it's ultimately what got me into the hobby.

There's a really amazing 3d sculpt of the demolisher online by RGriffin65 on thingiverse that I printed out and am going to paint next. I love the mesh of the quad tracks with the new cgl cannons on top.

Finally completed these adorable tanks tonight. I hope everyone is well amidst all the chaos that's going in right now. What is your favorite tank miniature? (Any tank)

And they're adorable little tanks

You know that feeling when you spend hours making your bases look *just right* and then realizing... At least I'll know they look beautiful...

Finished up a couple of my Battletech tanks, more to come soon.

Working on new Battletech minis while I reprint the broken stuff for my Mech Assault project. Starting with these cute as heck tanks and elementals. #battletech #battletechminiatures #miniature #minipainting

1:265 scale Patton Rommel Heavy Tank Battletech Miniature

Had an accident with some of my Mech Assault project Battletech minis, a shelf came loose and decided that my project needed a remodelling, so I had to start something else until the replacements finish~ but omg these tanks are so cute!

Unfortunately for me I never got to experience the Online play as when I got it, it had already passed it's prime (I think the 360 had already been out by then) but it was one of the first things I owned for myself. I even still have it and play it occasionally.

I've got fond memories of it as well, it not only was one of my first games, it was one of my first experiences with giant robots and Battletech as a whole (though I had no idea it was BT or what I was getting into at the time). The song "Getting Away With Murder" by Papa Roach still makes my smile.

Battle Armor from Mech Assault 2 Lone Wolf is pretty close to being complete. Going to shade the armor a little more tomorrow and work on the base.

Star Wars Legion miniature, Republic AT-RT Scout Trooper

Finished my AT-RT project tonight. The pilots are magnetic so the AT-RT can switched between factions. 🥰

Fairy tale is by far my favorite book he's written, written during the pandemic he decided that he needed to write a story -still in his style- that was uplifting.

Another past project of mine was the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine II board game also from Target. Here are the Tyranids - plus a few extras I had from monthly freebies. I hope you enjoy!
