Hi, I paint a bit of everything, and occasionally when the planets align I actually get to play. Played tabletop stuff in the 80/90’s, had a huge break and came back to the hobby about 8yrs ago (thanks to X-Wing & Bolt Action) I’m still learning & practising my painting #miniaturepainting
The zombies I posted yesterday were part of the monthly painting challenge by MLG, have a look at all of the entries here. A great community and awesome store
The app thingy I use to make the showcase videos has changed and it is really really hard to use now so this took *Forever*. Please watch it to make me feel better 😁 AND, more importantly the minis are awesome

Unfortunately, this army's not gonna see much use here. Either one large or two small rifle platoons in Bolt Action with mortar and MMG, officers, a Hetzer, StuG, and Panther. Gauging interest here before eBay gets their hooks in - what *does* this kinda thing go for these days? 🤪

Finished some zombies by crooked dice, for use in my Frostgrave bestiary. Went will a more rotten and plagued looking bunch, happy enough with them. Pass the 3 foot challenge!

Picked up the Khorne team for #BloodBowl Going to try and get these finished before the new edition gets delivered next weekend. That’s a week, I know, but I’m a sloooow painter and got lots on and other excuses.

My #Stargrave Captain is finished.
Gris Harcourt is a Rogue & smuggler who used to run weapons for the 'White Sand' rebellion, before they were wiped out during the Long Decimation.
He now takes work where he can and for whoever pays highest.

Taking my son to the cinema tomorrow to see ‘An American werewolf in London’ and I can’t wait. He’s never seen it, and I’ve never seen it in the cinema. I bloody love Halloween at the cinema 🐺

Still one of my favourite shows that I’ve watched in the last 12 months, just stunning. Would love a second series, but looking forward to a rewatch in good time.
Today marks the two-year anniversary of a great modern sci-fi show: Scavengers Reign. 🥰
A new classic that is only officially available in a few countries.

![[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]
1
SOCRATES:
Plato..
PLATO:
Yes Socrates?
2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?
PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates
3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?
PLATO:
Um, yep
4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then
5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]
SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?
6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel
7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.
PLATO:
No.
8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]
So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?
9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really
10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?
PLATO:
‘Spose not.
11
[Bleak pause]
12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock
SOCRATES:
Yeah

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds started 60 years ago today! @gerryanderson.bsky.social
A British show that fired my imagination as a child (but 20 years later). A childhood that stays with me thanks to the Thunderbird 2 replica in my office. 😌

This Bonan the Barbarian was really fun to paint, he's not for an army or anything, just because I love the sculpt. He's a 3-up so he's quite a tall lad, get yours from @heresyminiatures.com here: heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.p... #jhbackdrops #nerdlings

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

I think I got raptured, not sure. I was asleep but the light shade is a bit wonky, I might have hit it on the way up. Forgot to open a window, as you do, oh well I like it here. Mostly.
