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

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

2 painted and based Warhammer 40K Genestealer Cult Saboteurs for a commission Games Workshop free mini of the month for May 2025, an Emperor's Children Chaos Marine. Might put him with my Death Guard and pretend he's adopted Squad leaders for my Death Guard Plague Marine Kill Team More of the Plague Marines from my kill team echoing the colour themes of each other

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.

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.

Just keep at it, I don't think I'm ever finished but it always feels good when you're at least 75%

What colour scheme are you thinking of?

I like the black, but maybe mix some Speedpaint/contrast/ink in a black or super dark blue with a steel colour to create a dark metal look for the trim? Worst case do a test pauldron on each shoulder and see what you prefer?
