With it being #WIPWednesday I figured I'd see if I could sling some paint in these temperatures, and learned the hard way my usual method requires a lot more thinning! Still, not a bad turnout. I'll base Monty when I base his twin brother in the khaki drill - one for each theater!

Speaking of wonderful sculptors, proceeds from this miniature go to Finley's Touch, a charity that helps support kids with cancer. Who doesn't need another couple of Paul Hicks miniatures in the collection, eh? Popped my order in for a couple! footsoreminiatures.co.uk/products/mon...

A Warhammer group commissioned this design. People kept asking them where to buy it, so with their approval it's now in my shop for all Warhammer 40K fans. Tee: www.infinitebacon.com/tshirts/p/wh... Print: www.infinitebacon.com/shop/p/wg40k... Thank you!

Crew for sci-fi skirmish games like #Kosmika or This is not a Test. Left guy is @knucklebonesminis.bsky.social, the other two kitbashed stuff (some old Warmachine, some from some UK mini shop) with a bit of resculpts and bits. #nerdlings #minipainting #wargames #wepaintminis #warhammer

It does still surprise me that people get so bent out of shape over the four seconds in each video where I say 'Hello and welcome to a very special How I Paint Things.' My guy. The rest of the 30s to a minute of intro are usually what the miniature is, where to find it, or similar. Relax.

There he goes. My granddad, Kevin. 1943-2026. We used to joke there was never any good photos of him smiling; even in his old Ministry of Transport uniform he looked like the photographer had a knife. Not a humourless bloke, he just hated being in the spotlight. I'm gonna miss him.

Made some terrain for the ships to fight over. Styrofoam balls from the hobby store stuck on bamboo skewers, a layer of plaster, then painted like gas giants. The lines on the first one were a little bit wonky, before I learned I could use a rubber band as a guide. #BFG #battlefleetgothic

This is still one of the coolest things my brain has done that I wasn't trying to learn. Predatory monetization tactics are now treated as negative emotional manipulation, meaning they're such an absolute deal breaker that they completely *reset* any value I had once perceived from the experience.

OW was the title that broke my FOMO response. They switched to cash-shop exclusives so aggressively in the OW2 era that my brain recalibrated FOMO to oppositional defiance. I can't have most new content? Then I don't care about *any* of it, including my existing collection and the game itself.
