I painted Martin Sheen as his character on The West Wing, and today at NYCC, he signed the piece. He was very impressed and wanted to know more about my Warhammer artwork. Nerd dream come true today!! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

How Trump gets and processes information How Trump is making potentially lethal decisions

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

As someone without industry experience, but I do know the average nerdy man with disposable income, this feels like 'lets just watch the big corporation video game trailers and then get drunk and irresponsible".

I painted a new Inquisitor, for the Ordo Chronos. The first model for a brand new 40k army I'm working on. Should be done in time for the 2026 Grand Narrative. Exciting! #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

Everything I painted since mid-May. 200 hours, I counted all the time I was at my hobby desk. Gaming armies, a display miniature, samples for GW, and one last surprise for the Nova Open ๐Ÿ˜‰...

I was supposed to get some work done today but guess what, my copy of the Psychgeist of Pop Culture: Warhammer came in the post today! So I'm pretty excitedly browsing it now :D Big kudos to @jordansorcery.bsky.social for the blurb for this volume โœจ๏ธ

Weird feeling to have this finally in my hands.

Working on a Celestial Warbringers Questor. She is part of my custom Callis and Toll Warband. Carrying an elvish greatsword and a most-definitely cursed Tzeentch dagger, it's safe to say this is a unique champion of Sigmar. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #stormcasteternals

Justiciar Aristride Torchia, my new custom hero for the Mirrored Edge S2D army. Counts-as a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount.

Since no Warhammer kits have sweaters and khakis, I will probably make Colin in his Vampire Council robes

Getting back to my Mirrored Edge for a bit. This hero counts-as a Lord on Demonic Mount. I hope you enjoy. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

Finished up Hanniver Toll. My take on a Lumineth-aligned Callis and Toll. I swapped the tropes of the two heroes (veteran gunslinger, and initiate witch hunter) while adding just a bit of elf bling. #paintingwarhammer

Great work on the skin and the clasp/medallion.
The skin has diagonal directional lighting that the hair doesnt quite match. Some bounce lights above the scalp on an angle, and on the beard, our right/his left. Just a tiny bit

Profound. OrWellian even. (As in, presentation in the style of Orson Welles)

Working on the unit champion for my Bladelords, and an allied Witch Hunter for tournament play.

For me, I try to blur the distinction between Old World and AoS, I like the idea of continued themes and challenging the separation of ideas. Thats why my LRL look as they do. #warhammercommunity #aos

RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90, the chairman of legendary modelmaker Tamiya. He didn't found the company, but started working there in 1958, just four years after its founding, and helped it shift from its original line of wooden models into the plastic kits it is so well known for today.
