Highmont (He/They)

my family out here calling themselves "the hunted"

are you for real right now

hey, remind me: which of us had to flee our home state because of the policies promoted by that fuckass and which of us just put a new pool in at our house?

Something happened earlier that could have been seen coming from a mile away. For years, that rhetoric has stoked the worst in our society.

Leopards feasted on faces today.

I just fear what comes next.

GROT AKIRA!

There is no such thing as perfect Gloomspite Gitz fan art.

*looks at r/gloomspitegitz*

I stand corrected.

The shading is just so *fun* on this guy!

I love the posing. Like he is gripping with his hand and the claw is mimicking his movements.

The shoulder pad does stick out here, but honestly, that is a fun level of contrast.

I almost only used one metal color and I quickly realized that was a mistake! The bronze really looks great here!

So, oops?

I got up my Techmarine video the other day, but I was away for work, so I didn't even think about posting it here!

Here you go!

I do think I found my red recipe for my Lumineth when I get there though... That came out PRETTY!

Feeling great to be back to my old paint style !

I love this!

Where I ended up tonight-ish. I did the steel color after this.

I made the right call on this scheme, omg.

I started with the green, and while I need some better control, it is BEAUTIFUL.

The beautiful blends that came from literally just tapping a sponge and layering is AMAZING.

Okay, so I fell in love with sponging as a technique.

I am so glad I picked up a 32 pack of makeup sponge wedges for under $2, because why not?

Let's take this to the next level!

I don't think he is *quite* done yet, but I have to think about how I would go about working on that part.

The gold armor was deceptively easy. Gold with a purple wash, then reinforcing the recesses with brown and picking out the brightest spots with another gold. Pretty!

He looted a screaming shield from the Kruleboyz, and loves to harass their fingas as they stalk their swamps!

All of the weathering here was fun to play with, because I actually find doing that really hard!

This is my 100th painted mini for the year!

He is Da Great Gold Git, more of a force of destruction for Da Dank Uns in Ghyran. He is an ancient grot that was consumed by da shroomz, but still lives to follow the Bad Moon!

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

It's like how I try to sneak magenta into every 40k scheme I've been painting lately!

And by God, those scales took it well!

This is what I LOVE about Gloomspite Gitz. They look great in so many schemes and I'm kinda jealous that I didn't think of this scheme before I started Da Dank Uns!

I don't believe it but also

Worked on the pink highlights and the cartoony cloak ! Pretty happy of the result !

That Crunchyroll would willingly put a Social Media person in this position.

I *had* to show that these guys were a part of the Raven/Outworlds Alliance *somehow*!

While stamping was limited on them, I think it turned out pretty well here! I need to do more!

Here is the final lance of my first company of the Outworlds Alliance's 1st Long Road Legion!

This #BattleTech scheme is super fun and there are several ways to go about it.

This was my first decal attempt and I think it worked!

I tried doing the robes a bit differently here and I think they look okay, but not great. More cloth practice is needed! Where do I get that... Hmm...

I always love these shields. The Captain with Relic Shield will be fantastic to paint too!

Party in the front, business in the back? It is weird now much like an Intercessor this guy looks like from this angle.

If we get more Neo-Volkite weapon options in the future, I'm going to have to redo my recipe. This one looks okay, but I need to build upon that. I want this thing to look white hot.

It's been a minute since I've posted a completed project.

Last week I took a vacation and spent most of it building, painting, and playing #40k lol.

Here is my Lieutenant with Storm Shield! I need more Veterans because I love those sculpts!

I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed putting Abaddon together! That was so nice!

My Chapter Master was fun too, but more for the fact that I needed to dig for the right parts!

I started with a base Jump Pack Captain. I wanted a power weapon and plasma pistol, but the kit options just weren't doing it for me!

To the bits box! And that led to me chopping his arms to have a Stormcast spear and a Hellblasters plasma pistol, with switched hands! And of course I had to add a few gubbins!

As I head into a week of vacation, I started it off right by building my Abaddon (mostly, at least the subassemblies) and kitbashing my Chapter Master!

I have my first game for this break tomorrow, then I will probably be painting and building a ton!

#40k #warhammer #miniaturepainting #kitbashing

Love miniatures hate fascism

Just to be clear

It is surely stamped. I wish I was able to freehand that lol

This guy looks so freaking serious, doesn't he?

This was my first attempt at barrel bluing. Though I have some Infernus Marines coming soon so I need to step up my game!

Guh. That Tyranid arm guard was so fun to paint. Definitely the highlight of the model!

I actually forgot to paint the blood on the knife when I was wrapping up! I started cleaning up and noticed that the blood was still painted white!

Here is my Lieutenant with Combi-Weapon!

Between this and the Terminator Captain from Leviathan, I REALLY want to paint some Tyranids! Though I still don't know what scheme I would do. Hmmm...

I have some CSM to paint first!

Thank you! I really enjoyed putting it together!

They were also rescues, and I think I did a decent job at cleaning them up! Definitely not perfect, but decent!

There are 2 main things to learn with Stampin' Plates. The pick up and the placement! I'm hoping I eventually learn how to do this well!

It's weird exactly how long these guys have been "done" but I hadn't shared them out.

But these minis were my testers for @goobertownhobbies.bsky.social and @ebayminirescues.bsky.social Stampin' Plates! I have a lot to learn!

BattleTech Gothic: First Impressions As a long-time (literally thirty years) fan of BattleTech, it's been amazing watching a game that I saw almost wither up and die…

My friend @zahra-the-bard.bsky.social put out this article today on her blog!

I can't wait for Gothic to get here and this is some great insight into the box!

Jealous of those Gen Con goers!

Yeah, no. I saw that video and that was 100% AI.

Dumb. Learn to animate your own shit. Stop stealing people's work.

I had already started clean-up when I realized that I hadn't painted the blood on the LT with Combi! Oops!

Got these guys painted and varnished last night.

Today, I am going to attempt round 2 of stamp tests, then will probably give them their matte varnish layer, along with the rest of my painted models.

Huzzah!

The mud ends up a magenta-ish color when it's done. I try to get a little spatter on the boots though!

Beast snagga number six of the group.
Cool little minis to paint for sure.
