Autistic, Gender fluid, mini painter outside Melbourne. I do commission work and play AoS and Bloodbowl.

I have tweaked my regular Soulblight Gravelords list for the new season. Vhordrai is feeling a bit unwieldy, so I've replaced him with a Wight Lord on Skeletal Steed and 10 Barrow Knights. Now that I've painted the Wight King model I have painted all my Soulblight Gravelords.

The Games Workshop Soulblight Gravelords Wight King on Skeletal Steed sitting on a painting handle to raise it above the five Games Workshop Barrow Knights arrayed before it. All are painted with dirty, rusted and aged armour, with pops of red and purple.

My phone informed me (quite rudely IMO) that I started painting my Slickblade Seekers over a year ago. They remain on my desk, incomplete. I have also just recently invested in a significant increase in my army. I'm going to have to start painting these things a bit quicker if I ever hope to finish.

4 Games Workshop Slickblade Seekers. Partially painted. A Games Workshop Slickblade Seeker champion. Painted in non-metallic metal gold and silver with magenta/purple cloth and sky blue highlights.

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

Between commission work I've been gradually working on my Tzeench Fatemaster. My goal this weekend was to finish laying down the base tones and making sure I'm happy with the values. I think it's going well so far, and now it will sit untouched for a week while I knock out some commissions.

A work in progress Tzeench Fateweaver from Games Workshop. The figure is a person in armour holding a spear in their left hand with their right hand raised as if casting a spell. They have a bird on their shoulder. 

The miniature is painted in reds, with a white bird.

I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

There are many things I want to get around to painting at the moment but I am currently overburdened by my own commission painting successes. It is very nice and refreshing however to get to paint up a bunch of Blood bowl star players after the sheer tedium of White Scars space Marines

4 Blood Bowl star players. From left to right, a bootleg The Mighty Zug painted in Blue and off-white, a retro Morg 'n Thorg, painted in Blue and white with metallics, a 3d printed Akhorne in red-brown with purple and white armour atop a skull in lava wearing a green helmet, and a 3rd party Nobbla Blackwart (a goblin with chainsaw) in red and yellow.

I've been working on a commission recently, this group of White Scars. (Everybody always wants you to paint white space Marines lol) The base layers are down, now I'm gloss varnishing in preparation for pin washing.

Image contains a selection of Warhammer 40k miniatures. 3 Space Marine bikes, one Space Marine hero on hover bike, and a large, front heavy airplane-like bomber. They are painted as White Scars, so all white armour, with red accents.

I've been a bit more lowkey about it for a bit personal reasons but I am Gender fluid and love representing and highlighting the beauty in trans bodies as much as I can, and its specially important these days to do so A strong Trans Day of Visibility to us!
