Battletech goes synthwave with this Vapor Eagle for my newest merc band, Malibu Overdrive. This was such a departure from my comfort zone but I'm so happy I tried it now that it's done.
I bought myself a set of artis opus brushes last year as a treat to myself and then in typical me fashion have spent the entire intervening time since getting them avoiding using them because I'd mess them up or something but I have now used one of them and I was an idiot not to. So nice!

"Hey, welcome to the Hypothetical Games Bunker, feel free to grab a drink out of the fridge and look around. If you want to play on any of the open tables just sign in over there and write down which one you're using. If you don't have minis the Bunker has some armies you can use. Have fun!"

See I want the "own a large space I can fill with bespoke, hand made gaming tables and get to host games events of all kinds and become a community hub" part of owning a game store without the annoying "must sell products to eat" part.

Cause you better beleive those game tables would be finnneeeee

I feel very lucky that when I was 12 the mall near my house had a Games Workshop store. I don't think I would have gotten into miniatures had it not been for local staff (some of whom I still remember by name) who were so kind to an (I'm sure very annoying) excited little kid with 40,000 questions.

I have commission slots available! Base prices in the alt text (50% down). If you want a discount, I am offering a special deal. I dug into my personal collection when setting up my painting business, and now I'm missing some minis. I will accept these in trade for my services, $10 off per piece!

"All sorts of improvised additional armour can be seen on Mark V suits, but the most common technique was affix additional layers of armour with the aforementioned molecular bonding studs. This relatively quick and simple technique effectively added another ablative layer to marine armour suits."

At a Dracula themed mini restaurant in Epic Universe and they have Garlic "stake" pretzels for warding off vampires!

Was cleaning off old photos from my phone and found some pictures from what may have been the last game of 40k I played with my old wargaming group before the pandemic shuttered the store we used to play at and other players moved away. My old Thousand Sons versus the Tau!

And yes, I am an artist. A professional artist, no less! All of these pieces were custom-painted for patrons. It's amazing being here and no fucking plagiarism machine can do what I do.

Ok look. I know that for whatever reason Space Marines are almost never allowed to be out of their armor (not in universe, just that authors and media creators rarely depict them out of armor) but if they are wearing 2200lbs of armor they cannot be sitting on stools in random human villages!

Something I think a lot of settings do poorly is depict how magic or magic equivalents are actually viewed in the world they exist in. We as the audience see and understand magic, the Force, psyker powers, etc but that is explicitly not common knowledge in a lot of settings.

After scraping mold lines and drilling over 100 bolter barrels today I have no idea where I am or what day of the week it is anymore.

This makes all the hard work so worthwhile. Thank you, @crskain.bsky.social!

I've had the 2nd edition starter box for Horus Heresy sitting in my house since it came out because I couldnt decide between Thousand Sons and White Scars. Rather than wait another whole edition, I have simply chosen to be extremely extra and do both.

Ok ok real talk for 40k though:

The official fiction focuses far too much on first founding chapters in 40k, which makes them seem like they're still these massive legion sized organizations instead of being about 9,000 people in total (with some variance for codex compliance vs. not)

Doing a little prologue session for our Shadowrun campaign since our other player is sick and Thanksgiving is next week. Malibu the hobgoblin street runner and Patch the mobile mafia doc have stumbled upon some street gangers robbing one of Patch's colleagues.

I forgot that there's a massive online contingent of 40k fans for whom Space Marine 2 is the main piece of 40k media they've interacted with until I start seeing people thinking Captain Titus is the main character of the setting rather than being one of maybe 5-10 interchangeable Ultramarine OCs.
