Every side?

Oh yeah! I came from a mountain biking background. Very squishy in comparison. The first time I rode a road bike I was just like "Ow. Ow. Ouch. Ow."
I never realised roads had bumps.

Now, even though most of my km are road, I ride a gravel bike with 40mm tyres minimum. So comfy.

Oh yeah. Slightly annoying shoe? 100km later, that's just pain. Paaaain.

It's amazing how complicated just sitting on a bike can be. Oh yeah, and you should try changes long enough to make sure it's not just doing something new. Bike fitting is a dark art.

If you don't mind random Internet stranger advice that you've probably heard before.
Wrist pain, for me, was because I was stretched out too far forward. I had too long a frame at the time and my weight was over the front too much. Fitting a shorter stem helped. You can also slide the seat forward.

A 40K Atillan horse dude, on a horse. One small model containing all the rage in the universe. So pretty. So spiteful. Anyhow, he's all brightly painted in red and blue just like Cadians aren't. Well, half painting. At this point I was questioning my life choices.

Are these anyone else's nemesis? Little horsey gits.

I really like ebikes, but I totally understand this happening. Even worse, it seems that those kids that could do with a bit of exercise (yes, entirely anecdotal and by my biased observation) have ebikes. Compounding things is the popularity of cheap Chinese fat bikes - basically fake scooters.

With that amount, improvement or happiness isn't the aim. Survival, that's the key.

Scarily similar. More straps than a gimp suit.

Ha, I just read through your previous posts on this and our experience of them pretty much exactly lines up. I took a breather in the middle to paint two necromunda gangs, build a squad of ratlings and Hell's Last, then paint a bit of scenery. Take that break!

I think that even if I knew absolutely nothing about LLMs, I'd be suspicious just because of the people really pushing them.

I love these models. I started trying to batch paint all 10. Gave up, then managed to finish 5 one at a time. I've just started on the next 5 after a break. Gorgeous, but so hard for me to paint!

Aaah, back in the days when leg day didn't exist!

Definitely the blueish option! Dark red occurs too much (looking at you, Admech) so something a little more submarine would be nice.

Oh, one of mine too. None come to mind, which is annoying given the number of examples, but classic sci-fi was a bugger for this. Spend half the book describing wonderful, fantastic vessels and the cover is straight out of Flash Gorden.

Finished up a starter Goliath gang for a friend. First time I've ever tried contrast paints. Oooh, they're weird.

I remember these while playing 2nd edition. Must be a very early 1990s model. Very pretty and beautifully painted.

Aaaah, like older GW minis. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked things up again at just how nice the Cadian kits were. Less amused by my eyesight and tweezer requirements.

I'm trying to decide if these look more or less fiddly than 40k guard. My grey Cadian horde is currently being avoided by painting even more fiddly Necromunda gangs.
Your people there do have nice shiny helmets though. I like it.

I thought you'd been looking more aerodynamic recently! Well done, looking good.

It's in the Netherlands, not Scandinavia. But, to answer your question, no. Not in the slightest.

That's much more organised than my bags of stuff. I have one full of heads. Slightly macabre.

Grimdark up that roundabout and you're set.

I too like to take my life advice from snack foods. Now, I must go ask my monster much about investing.

I'm not proud. I've tried. Taste like, well, wotsits after you've licked licked off all the flavoury goodness.

Please note though, I once was curious enough to try soap that had been made from real strawberries. There was indeed fruit. Then soap. Unsurprising soap. So much soap.

I just so happen to have gift cards from amazon in several different countries to use. I'll DM! Thanks.

So, visiting the parents for Christmas and they've presented me with a few things they found while tidying. A bit of a blast from the 90s past!

That is brilliant! I've been at a similar project myself. It got a little bit addictive.

I'm desperately trying to avoid that. I have one squad on the go now (Astra Militarum horsies) and I am really resisting building something else before I'm done. I got distracted by terrain. But the 2 squads of Cadians, the Kasrkin, the Hell's last, the Command Squad, the Baneblade. They call me.
