So as I have a quiet house this week, I’ve set myself a little challenge of “Can I paint these three ‘mechs in Clan Jade Falcon Omega Galaxy colours, before Friday?” as I’ll be using them then, in game 3 of a #battletech scenario I’m playing against @jodrell.org
Pt1.

Nice mechs! And I help but follow someone using my favorite dino as a handle! :)

This was a fun and quick paint from #Bloodwork, a new skirmisher. I got sent some minis as a part of their promotion on Gamefound, this being one of them. It's a neat little objective token (I guess?), and now I'm obsessed with making more little tokens and scatter items!!!

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

Love these lighting effects, and it seems WH models being so hollow are really begging for this treatment!

SO TINY!
This little Spear Gnome from Warp Miniatures is the smallest model I have ever painted.
LEGO for scale, and don't mind the pink Primaris, that's also for scale and a test subject for my airbrushing.
#art #miniatures #miniaturepainting #ttrpg

Yes, this is a centimeter scale at the bottom, and yes, the gnome's name is Kurt. Short for Kurz.

OMG I love this model! I so need to pick up a copy of this (and other minis she's published thru Footsore). Watching her talk about the sculpting process and all the teeny details was, well, something I wish we could get for EVERY mini! (when you wonder what a weird detail on the model really is)

A little sneaky peaky of @monstergirltrish.bsky.social's wonderful Quercus the Forest Wyrm, currently on my desk. A way to go yet, but what a fantastically detailed miniature!

It had that Innsmouth kinda ending :)

Rook and Raven @rookandraven.bsky.social · 13h

Very cool, and I like that texture palette a lot! Will you be using varnish from a can or from an airbrush? Asking cuz I'm of the latter preference, and picked up some airbrushable polyurethane varnishes that I plan on using for terrain and other heavily-handled miniatures

Rook and Raven @rookandraven.bsky.social · 1d

It's a lovely game (and a lovely mech you've done!) I'm currently on the sequel, Silksong, which is continually kicking my butt! I'd still recommend playing it, tho!

Rook and Raven @rookandraven.bsky.social · 1d

I like the Lancer a lot, but it does make me think of Hollow Knight a bit! (which is not a bad thing at all!)

Speaking of hobby work, there's ALWAYS something to do, whether it be cataloging and organizing, sculpting, priming, or the actual painting that we wanna get to! I finally put a note card into each bin to let me know which box has the bags I'm looking for! All minis organized? Hardly!

A picture of boxes full of unpainted miniatures, each with a note telling me what's inside each box!

I did not even think about that aspect, more just that the Ninty e-store for my old console (Wii-U) is long dead...

Rook and Raven @rookandraven.bsky.social · 1d

Any hobby work is hobby work! :)

Rook and Raven @rookandraven.bsky.social · 1d

You make me wanna re-play this one so bad!!! But the only console I have that can play it is a 3DS, which I guess will work?!

I'm seeing your last two posts in the Miniatures feed, very odd that you don't!
