Okay, I now have a more substantial #Warhammer40k to-do pile: * 2 Canoptek Wraiths need finishing * 2 of the 4 mechs in the Inner Sphere battle lance kit * Sacresants * IG Sentinel * Leman russ kit * 2 ogryn boxes to finish guard special teams

And knowing my output rate, I make no promises this list will be done a calendar year from now. I'll try. (And I know Battletech is not 40k; they have their place in line, I'd like to do them in order of purchase.)

(Sound of foxes screaming in the distance) random #warhammer40k pics of the day: the scratch-built Baneblade, shown from above with all magnetized elements disassembled (vs a fully assembled build). Entered as part of September's #nerdlings Mini of the month challenge.

I'm sure not every Holiday Inn is built the same, but why is the hand soap as far as it possibly could be from the sink? Perspective might make this unclear, but when I was centered at the sink, I could not reach these bottles with my right arm.

Think I've inadvertently found something that almost perfectly fits the aspect of the #miniofthemonth challenge, and its my parents' upstairs guest bathroom.

#RedLetterMedia quotes that are just stuck in my brain: Mike, watching Beaks, doing an impression of an Italian director: "You pick up da pigeon and you throw it. Whip it as hard as you fucking can."

I already won the #lottery Being brought into this world Every breath and heartbeat since has for me many years unfurled Passions, hobbies, family, friends, to laugh and sing and dance A gift from daft biology's one-in-3-million chance #vss365

I love that Google's self-exonerating platitude comes across more as an indictment of the research model. But no, please, let this 'mistake' happen again, many times. Drain those crypto wallets. And "it ethically decided"? (insert Laughing gif from Goodfellas)

Decided to treat myself yesterday and went and got a #Warhammer40k #lemanruss tank kit. Open it up, looking at the sprues and realize: If I can arts-and-crafts myself duplicates of everything on the treads sprue... I can get 2 entire tanks out of the kit.

Okay, serious question for the #Warhammer40k #nerdlings : how do you actually implement this servitor skull on cables from the (old) guard command squad? Can anyone share a pic?

I was in a high school band. Our bassist overtightened the strings on his guitar during class and got D tension. As a quartet we argued over the band name. Since we could only ever practice before school, we settled on Late4Class.

Was in a band called 999mb. We never had a gig.

Random #warhammer40k self quoting to re-up the progress shots of my scratch-built #Baneblade that I started way back in March. As of Thurs you'll get to see the finished product.

Random #warhammer40k pics of the day: finally took some more progress shots of the scratch built #Baneblade, had last week off and got some good progress done on turrets, side sponsons, and officers for 2 turret variants. #nerdlings

So #Instagram thinks the best way to validate account recovery is to provide a selfie... what an invasive and utterly fucking useless approach for those of us who aren't self-absorbed twats and never posted selfies.

Hot take: I think #imdb should scrub out 99.9% of their 'memorable quotes'. A memorable quote is short, poignant, and can transcend genre and generations. Things like 'may the force be with you', not half the script to Platoon or the Godfather.

This came up because I was reading the quotes page for the Watchmen movie, and its just apallingly bloated. The movie has one line worthy of memorable: "None of you seem to understand, I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"

(Sound of steel pot hitting the floor) random #Warhammer40k pic for the day: also made mileage on Officers retinue during week off, depicting various subfactions of the homebrew army. #nerdlings

I swear, some of y'all #Warhammer40k #nerdlings make it sound like you've got enough in your 'pile of shame' to open a store. This is what a To-Do pile looks like for me (biggest its been in 3 years).

(Soda can cracking open sound) random #warhammer40k pics of the day: started into the mixed officer bits and created a new prototype: the Alighierian Brigade, from a Guard body type I'm not familiar with. #nerdlings

(Fluorescent light bulb hum sound) random #warhammer40k pics of the day: I have the week off, so progress is happening on the scratch built #baneblade - making 2 different turrets, one will be lasers (smaller one), the other a traditional shooty one.

I feel like my two #warhammer40k commissars were around the peak of consistency for hobbying; regimental C in desert brown, and Planetary Adjunct in classic black, basically liaison to the greater bureaucracy.

It isn't yet the end of the week, but who doesn't want some more good vibes around the place? Do me a little favour! Quote this post with something you've painted that you're proud of, or you just really like. Doesn't have to be your best, just something that makes you smile when you see it!

I'm at my parents acreage. Stormy evening starts with hail, then hard rain, and the power went out around 10:30pm. Not a little brownout, the power is completely out. I'll be able to tell when it returns (phone will jump back onto wifi from 5G) but its almost an hour and that hasn't happened yet.

With Trenchers done, I need to update my #Warhammer40k near-to-long term plans: To-Do Pile (most to least done): * Scratch-built Baneblade * 2 Canoptek Wraiths * officers retinue * Sacresants Want-to-do list: * 2 ogryn boxes, special teams * 10 space marines via 3rd party legs * Helldivers squad

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

RS with something yellow My first time doing Battletech, tried a playing-it-safe palette on the Wasp. I'm so used to building stuff that prebuilt is a tiny bit off-putting.

RS with something yellow I rarely paint yellow so this is the best I can do 😆

(Comically squeaky floorboard sound) bonus random #warhammer40k pic of the day: my friend let me go through his tank bits, and he had like 12 guys worth of mechanized officer legs, so my plan is to do an officers retinue and modular tank commanders. Also, whats the body center-back from? #nerdlings

(Dolphin chitter noise) Random #warhammer40k pic of the day: and with the final 10, the Trenchers platoon is done. Keeping radios consistent across a regiment has been annoying, so I'm just using the vox head to signify radioman now. #nerdlings #imperialguard
