I have two Lt. Tituses (Titii?). Got one in a book and one from a FLGS that threw me a yoooge discount. Should I paint them to match my Hellbenders, like an Ultramarine, or go full ham with weird colors? 52/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

This weekend's project. Cramming hobby time in between shaking my fist at the regime. If you're surprised that I am also #political, look at the last hashtag. My mere existence is political. 51/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #GeekCrafts #ChaoticQueer

Is Baron Harkonnen gonna call this one a "police action" to get around that pesky requirement for Congress to declare war? All because a Human shaped turd wants a legacy. I hope that the peoples of the Near East get out of this as safely as possible. #EatTheRich #Politics #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Totally #RandomThought... did ya know that Perdurabo was Crowley's Magickal name/motto in the Order of the Golden Dawn? It means "I shall endure till the end." Appropriate of GW to use it (with a slight spelling change) for the Iron Warriors Primarch. #Occult #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

One Captain in Terminator Armor and one Company Champion done for my Hellbenders. Hella fiddly, there are 21 paints on the Captain. I'll do decals and stamps once the whole Combat Patrol is done. 50/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #MillionMiniaturesChallenge #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Household painters tape for straight lines. Should probably get something better designed for these teeny bits, but it worked in a pinch. 48/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I had a bit of a shitter of a week, but yesterday was good. Spent time at the hobby desk #MiniaturePainting my #Warhammer40K & chatting on Discord with fellow hobbyists. Then I got together with my #DnD group to #DM them through a particularly fighty part of the adventure. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

It's pissing winter all over my house again. This time, I got out ahead of it and put down a shit ton of fed repellent. Hopefully none of the piss sticks to my sidewalks and driveway. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

After a full work day, I shoveled several inches of heavy, wet snow from my driveway & sidewalks. I also laid down enough de-icer to scare the feds off. The snow that came down after I finished didn't stick, as a result. No second round of shoveling. Yay! #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Looks like winter has finally decided to arrive in the Rockies. The skiers will be happy. I'm just excited to be able to shower this summer. Our seasons are way outta whack. #ClimateChange #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

3. We've got some cool new gear and the government trackers are on a slow boat to China. Nothing like a little cheesy fun to help with the mundane worries. #LARP #MiniaturePainting #TTRPG #V5 #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

2. So far, a fed hunter who thinks he got nailed by a mortal street gang has been tied naked (except for a courtesy Pikachu sock) to a statue along the morning commute route with a sign around his neck that says "I believe in vampires." #LARP #MiniaturePainting #TTRPG #V5 #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

1. Took a night off from #MiniaturePainting to get together with some old #LARP friends on Discord to play Justice League of Vampires. Nothing like a group of Anarchs getting their Batman and Deadpool on. (Ends justify the means types of 'heroes'.) #TTRPG #V5 #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Yup. Sharp and short. Hit while I was painting wargaming minis. The only damage was to the paint job of the poor soldier I had my brush too.

We had ourselves just enough of an #Earthquake to make me run a paint streak across the poor Space Marine I was working on. The Space Marine is fixed, no other damage. Felt it report submitted. #DailyLife #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
