Drew and made just one more new sparkly sticker design before the con, as a treat. 👀

The new LinkedIn "Looks like AI Slop" menu option is really interesting because I would imagine the choice of wording was to differentiate "low quality slop" from some concept of "quality AI assisted content" to please both proponents and opponents of AI...BUT...

So the whole... "Hank Green is an AI addict" thing... people really should have listened to the knitters, honestly. People need to stop thinking any man who talks confidently and seems moderately informed about some general STEM stuff is a genius about everything.

Con prep... Gotta attach new wooden pins and restocked ones to the packaging. We do this all at home because we use custom card backings to fit compostable bags. Really happy with how the new Falin design came out!

Oh hell yes, it's here!

A bit of time with the printer, laminator and cricut machine and boom! We have sparkly stickers! I already stuck one of the lesbian chaos goblins on my own sketchbook 🤣

Wow okay I preordered Daggerheart: Hope and Fear yesterday afternoon and they're dispatching it this morning!? It's not even out til the 25th of August! Critrole shop team, I'm a Warhammer player, you could have made me wait! 😂

I love doing a bit of painting first thing in the morning. First Ork Boy done! They're really fun minis to paint. I just wish the box have them special weapon options!

Amazingly I finished restocking all the existing sticker designs, meaning I have a little time before MCM Brum to draw some new ones, hehehe. 😄

A lot of people struggle to get through painting these big Warhammer boxes, so here are some tips from me, a person who hates batch painting but gets through them regularly...

Typically one of the minis I was most excited for from the new box proved one of the most tedious to paint. Happy to have a Land Speeder for my modern army, since they're such iconic and classic Space Marine vehicles.

So recently I came across somebody asking for advice to paint a pretty tricky freehand design of basically a pinup girl onto the armour plates of a large vehicle miniature, and they'd got stuck because they generated an illo with AI that was beyond their skill to copy...

So... what're we smashing today? #Pose #PoseRef

Just got the new sticky notes I designed! People love the ghost washi, so now we have ghost-its! Plus these silly gothic 'Memo Mori" ones. Need to take some product pics and then we'll be ready to sell. Plus we got a restock on the ever popular "Decree" notes and Dungeon Washi.

Oh wow, Elon Musk is going to have Grok make a feature film that's a more "Historically Accurate" version of a mythological story by the end of the year. Totally believe that, Elon has never said he'll do something by a certain date and then pushed it back by years every time that date is reached.

I'm actually really looking forward to the Daggerheart expansion (Hope and Fear). Playing a campaign last year, we got disillusioned towards the end due to a lack of tier 3+4 enemies and environments (and they seemed under-tested), but now we're playing D&D, we miss Daggerheart! 😅

The Delicious in Dungeon stickers and pins have been consistently popular on our online shop and at events, so I've drawn up an Izustumi and Falin to add to the mix. I'll have them up online soon, and we'll have them at upcoming events like MCM Birmingham and Thought Bubble!

I'm focusing on the characters in the Space Marine half of the new box because I already have a fair few troops to slot them into (serving suggestion!). Really happy with how the Librarian looks with those Hellblasters in particular! Go pink squad! 😆

The Ancient from the Armageddon box works really nicely with the Sons of the Phoenix colours and vibe.

I always like when get to a point where multiple minis of different types are painted and you get the effect of a cohesive little team. I don't always enjoy the grind and repetition of batch painting, but I love the visual impact of a fully painted army, especially once it's on the table

Wartrakks are first to the fight! Vroom vroom! I like how the turret part is naturally detachable and posable. Made it easy to build and paint, and it's fun to move it around 😄

The Chaplain (AKA. The Air Friar) is one of the big stars of the new box. I wanted to incorporate plenty of white to match the rest of my Sons of the Phoenix army, so went with it on the weapons, which I think looks cool.

Painted the Gretchin (basically Space goblins) from the 40k Armageddon box. Fun little minis and apparently pretty useful in the game too!

Started watching Witch Hat Atelier. It's really good! I'm definitely enjoying this little trend of fantasy manga and anime that are about just exciting adventures in beautiful fantasy worlds with little to no creepy "ecchi" stuff.

The Farage v Binface thing is so interesting because usually Reform are the ones who get to use the, "hehe! Just trolling! U mad bro? Triggered!?" tech and be seen as "the chill guys" by people who think the political establishment is self-serious and preachy, which can't work against a joke chara.

Hahahaha, Meta had to take down that new insta AI feature after just three days because the backlash was so bad! Keep it up, everyone!
