Yep, there was definitely a raw edge to those first two albums that they lost in later releases. All good though. I find good things in every Maiden era.

My first proper concert, too... but on the Virtual XI tour. 😅 Would've loved to have seen them with Di'Anno. Those first two albums are incredible.

40 years old today!

I'd heard Running Free on a compilation album called Axe Attack, but Live After Death was my first real introduction to Maiden.

One of the best live albums of all time.

Just played my first game of Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings...

City States vs The Spires.

So many mistakes made, but absolutely loved it!

Nice to get off to a winning start, too!

I finished painted Zombicide Marvel Zombies: X-Men Resistance!

Really enjoyable project that turned out quite well. Rather proud, tbh! 😊

Just hope my nephew likes it, as its his Christmas present.

Behold, Vocat Cataegis. My full scale reaver titan. The work of months, I tried today to get some decent photos of it, but goodness it's hard. So please enjoy this 360 turnaround.

Very happy to have added Prince Tyrion to my classic High Elf army, at long last, and in such good condition, too!

I only recently used Crunchyroll for the first time and was taken aback by your appalling subtitles. I then found out you were using AI instead of a person. That was enough for me not to continue my subscription. Had no idea about all this other stuff. What a shit company.

It's time for the Ghost Rider, another gaming quality model for Marvel: Crisis Protocol. It was quite fun to paint all the flames 🔥🔥

First post, just a guy who paints and kinda desires to do some introspective writing. Excited to share that I finished up the first of my Bloodmoon themed Yoroni

Tried successfully! I love how you made the tails look furry. I hope mine looks even half as good when I get around to it!

Thank you! I love kimonos, so I wanted to try and do something like the gorgeous designs on them. Not the best at freehand, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. 😁

MegatonGrimhammer @grimslath.bsky.social · Aug 24

Jorogumo Geisha for my Yoroni army done, and I'm so happy with how it's turned out!

The latest instalment in My Poor Life Choices allows me to now field a full 2000pts of W'adrhŭn, and another character option for my Spires.

Thanks to the wonderful people at Mighty Melee Games in the UK. Stellar service, as ever.

Not much today, but I got the sand on the bases of my Yoroni. Just got to seal it, and they're ready to prime!

Still got 3 boxes of Domaru Domashi and another Kitsune to assemble... but I can't face assembling more DD right now!

The fact its plastic doesn't make it any less loathsome.

Jorogumo assembly is going as well as can be expected. Loved putting the ladies together. Having to remind myself it's just pieces of plastic when I have to pick up the spider... 🫣😬

I've been feeling ill for the past couple of weeks, so not really able to paint miniatures. Still felt the urge to do something other than stare at the TV, though, so I bought a Sonic colouring book and a cheap pack of pencils.

Not bad for my first colouring in 30+ years! 😅
