Fun fact, only one person has ever been killed by a cassowary and the total number of attacks is only 150, 75% of which had been fed by people.

The moral of the story is 75% of people should have offered better food

Been dealing with my father's health and mostly posting to Tiktok but I'm still alive lol

Here's some recent fun 🙃

Fun with Warhammer 40000 Poxwalkers, the blue glows under UV :D

Picked up a Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator Armour a while back and finally started putting him together

Right? Spent endless time in highschool pouring over the books coming up with campaigns lol

That said, TMNT and Heroes Unlimited were always my favourite uses of the system

Dude I'm so sorry to hear it, take the time you need and know we're all feeling for you right now. Wish we could do more <3

I've got a stack of Rifts books in my other room 25+ high, I've got TMNT, I've got Fantasy, I've got Heroes Unlimited, I've got Nightbane, and hell I've even got Robotech. This video delights my poor investment choices, thanks @warhammerweekly.bsky.social lol

I'm so sorry to hear it man, just take care of her and yourself as best you can. Feels like that's the way my life has been the last few months so you have all my sympathy and support. Big love from Toronto, hope you can find some space to unwind tomorrow

Finished a marine and put him in the pile, love the way my Death Guard warband has come together. Think the sassy nurgling in the FDM tank could proxy as my fourth Myphitic Blight-Hauler?

Crossed the rainbow bridge exactly a week ago at this time...

My dearly departed cat the Grand Duchess Squeak, gone and fondly remembered after a good life. Deeply missed. There will be others but none like her.

Some productive painting from May.

Been a hard month, lost my shadow when my cat crossed the rainbow bridge. Dad almost died due to COVID and then Parainfluenza. Sibling lost her 2 dogs to old age. 1st responder to neighbor's suicide attempt

Gonna be streaming in ten minutes or so at www.twitch.tv/tabletopminions so you should come by and hang - as payment, here’s a photo of my girl Margo. It’s the only sharp one from the bunch I just took - she’s wiggly this morning.

Another great Friday stream down. I always find it gets me in the mood to put paint on plastic

Tabletop Minions @tabletopminions.bsky.social · Mar 7

It’s time to twitch! Or stream, whatever. I’ll be possibly finishing up my Trench Crusade warband today, so come and hang out at www.twitch.tv/tabletopminions in about 10 minutes and we’ll party.

Great stream, here's the fireman lol

Just messing around with contrast over white aluminum Vallejo, can't believe how pigment dense the bad moon yellow is even diluted 4:1 with medium.

I hope people see this and post what they might have been working on during the stream :)

WIP using greenstuff, chopped down skulls from the Citadel Skulls box, and a lot of texture paints to make a nice crusty Death Guard conversion of a Horus Heresy Rhino. Using inks and Speedpaint, mixed with metallics through an airbrush to get the look down.

I love my stinky guys, working on an alternative armor look with metallic paint instead of the more flat ceramic/terracotta vibe I usually do.
