Seems I surpassed 100 followers recently, Hi everyone!

I'm Chris, AKA Albion. I'm an amateur hobby painter, voice talent and disability advocate. I paint lots of tabletop miniatures, mostly GW.

I try to post regularly and share positivity in the world around us.

I may have made an error. I’ve bought, by accident, a box of eliminators. I meant to buy eradicators.

Does anyone (uk based) have a sealed box of eradicators they want to swap for a sealed box of eliminators? I’ll cover postage for us both.

Sorry, I've only got empedimentors, extracators, inconveniencers or extrapolators.

Funnily enough, relistened to the audiobook just last week. It's absolutely become one of my favourite novels in the 40K setting.

Depends on what colours you choose to paint them! They absolutely could be teal-y

It's the sort of noble behaviour you'd see after a few generations of stagnation and complacency (see English artisocrats going into the Georgian era and onwards for example). If you're in a setting where a noble title means something however, you have to be able to prove you can keep it.

The 3rd edition box set for 40k was my first real thing I owned. Got interested after attending a Warhammer club at school, so me and my brother went halves on this one.

The process may be unpleasant, but it won't take long and the long term benefits will far, far outweigh the period of discomfort. You can do this!

As someone who works as a lived experience disability advocate, I'm so happy to be seeing projects like this in the community. Absolutely planning to support this program with my next order!

They should also do this for every faction.

This is Minty, my self care tamagotchi. I'm not very good at taking care of myself unless someone else is reliant on my doing so. I'm working on that in therapy, but in the meantime, this little goober makes sure I eat, take my meds etc. each day. Because if I don't, they don't get any exercise 1/2

...... So for Drukhari is the rebellious teenage phase spend dressing sensibly and explicitly not getting body mods?

We're in this world only once. One short trip through existence. The world has an infinite number of experiences to have in that time.

I'm not wasting that opportunity gaslighting myself into believing slaving away to make other people wealthy while getting paid scraps is a fulfilling life goal.

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Art by Josh Arklin.

Everything is going wrong with this constantly. 😂

After so many fixes of various things I've lost count, some more work on Granny Weatherwax. Not quite as good as I was hoping, but I'm very proud of my NMM on the brooch.

This is what it is to be openly trans on the internet. I've been streaming for almost 11 years, come join me, to not go quietly

So this video isn't doing as well as I had hoped. If people could be so kind as to share it around (maybe use the hype option on the YT app if you're so inclined) it'd really help us out!

For real. Exodites have been in the Eldar lore since their first ever codex. We need proper models. I'd even take a Kill team at this point like we got for Corsairs

Azure Raptors Female Space Marines - Intercessor squad.

#40K #Nerdlings #TheEmperorExpects

Azure Raptors Female Space Marines - Intercessor squad.
Five Marines in pale blue power armour. A bit chonkier than the girls in Phobos Armour, with slightly bigger guns, but still with fabulous hair.

Azure Raptors Female Space Marines - Intercessor Sergeant. She has a big gun hefted onto her left thigh, a side-shave haircut the colour of strawberry ice cream, an orange bionic eye, and she's pointing very firmly off to her right with two fingers of her right hand. "Over th- No. Over there. Over. There. THERE!! Over there, yes. See where I'm pointing? Yes? Yes, I'm smiling, but I'm furious. By the Emperor... OVER THERE!!"

Two Azure Raptors Female Space Marine Intercessors. They're both quite stern even though they have fabulous hair. The one on the left has a grenade launcher. Her friends probably call her Boomer and she looks sick of it. *Foomp* goes another grenade. Her friend has floppy yellow hair and doesn't say much.

Two Azure Raptors Female Space Marine Intercessors.
The one to the left is shouting something as she reloads her frankly massive gun and her companion has hers held high. She looks quite stern and a bit scowly. Her short-back-and-sides is bright red and swept back. You know, I'm not sure any of these girls are straight.
