Blood Ravens Speed Painted Marine - finally finished! I have filmed the last 2 tutorials on this model and they will be on my Patreon within the next 2 days. This model took a surprisingly small amount of time to complete.
Have a great Friday!

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

"Trans rights are human rights" has never been more important than right now.

The Kansas GOP overrode the Governor's veto to enable this. If they can willfully do it to one group, they can do it to ANY group.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

A while ago I’ve won a giveaway by Jonas Neumond which brought me a kit of these lovely fellas.
Now they are ready to absorb some enemies. Fun and very relaxing paintjob :)

Painting for the Table, Not the Camera There is a very specific kind of heartbreak in this hobby. It happens when you finish a model, put it down on the table, lean back in your chair, and think: Yes. That looks awesome. The colors pop.…

#Clan mechs did not escape my grasp, and this #PhoenixHawk IIC is next up! This one's based off the protagonist of #picayunedreams that I just thought about for this mech (and I also highly recommend playing!)

The Lady of Corruption, breasts bared standing atop a dias of bone and flesh. She wields a serpentine blade with an eye peering out of the crossguard - itself made of glistening flesh - a hilt of bone and a leering mouth in the pommel. She has bat-like wings emerging from her shoulders and in place of her left arm she has 3 insectoid appendages with chitinous blades in place of hands. Her mouth is pulled into a rictus grin as a large horn protrudes from the right side of her skull

All finished with the Lady of Corruption from Creature Caster. Definitely a little outside my usual wheelhouse but it gave me an opportunity to stretch myself and i'm very happy with the way she turned out in the end.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Belton Mini Con! Here are some of the commissions I took. Made some new friends. Sold some stickers and prints! Your support means the world. Thank you sincerely!

I don’t think it’s only 2 hobbies. It’s a myriad of different audiences in generally the same space due to similarities in format, all of whom want different experiences from their games.

I’m Rob, and when I’m not podcasting, I’m painting miniatures. Mostly 40K, but I’ll paint just about anything. Currently getting started on a Necron army for a charity raffle, as well as a couple of other projects in the early stages.

Cooler weather this weekend will put an end to the Spring fakeout we're having. It's a perfect opportunity to spend some time in a cozy library while browsing a free convention. Then a short drive down the highway and you can indulge in some hot cocoa or good coffee. Win-win!

My Rasalhague dominion project for #battletech is done! I’m extremely proud of how these turned out and I’m glad to have finally tried directional lighting for once.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

A very red mech wields a sword. Bits are glowing in blue. He stands on a tacticool rock and a stiff breeze blows through the ribbon and plants in the scene.

It all sits in the palm of my hand, because it is a miniature that I painted.

Finished my Commander Farsight for my #Tau army! I cut close to the 'standard' scheme. I usually treat named characters often as an opportunity to practice execution over creativity and I am happy with how it came out.

Having followed his spurious and completely unfounded claims during the Pathfinder Online fiasco, Dancey's always been a merchant of false hope. He always wants to promise the moon with a bottle rocket. A proverbial bad penny of the industry.
