I paint minis. Sometimes I'll share real-world stuff that's important to me.

Be excellent to each other.

I suppose I should do an #Introduction post for the new people.

Hello everyone! I go by Alexander, and I paint minis! I enjoy a lot of things, so you'll not see me post exclusively about minis here. I also like to keep my corner of the 'net safe for my LGBTQ+ family here.

*Does the dance of joy*
Atlas mech from Battletech painted in the colors of Fox Patrol Ogor Mawtribes from Age of Sigmar, painted like blue-skinned Jotun with red pants Lord Maul and his squad of Mandalorians from Star Wars Shatterpoint Hive Fleet Kalos Tyranids, my Hive Fleet based on the colors of Rainbow Dash.

I fucked up.
I ordered decals, but forgot to make sure it was going to the correct address, and it's too late to do anything about it.

Not an expensive mistake. But it still sucks. Even $5 hurts.

Will I make that mistake again? Who knows? But I really hope not.

Hey. You.

Go read my short story Resonance over in HyphenPunk.

It's multiverse shenanigans!

Why the heck are some Space Marines transfers so expensive? IMO, it's insanity to charge $30-40 for a single sheet.

Luckily, I found someone selling ten individual transfers for my Angels of Death Kill Team for a couple bucks. (I realize the irony of paying more per transfer.)

I don't think the link I posted earlier attached any images. So just in case here's a better look at the Minotaur Krampus. #bloodbowl

a weird fishy looking guy points to a scroll he holds up. He is black with red bits and bright orange eyes. He also has some dark blue hints around the gills. His scroll states some good advice for life: Don't be a dick. a weird fishy looking guy points to a scroll he holds up. He is black with red bits and bright orange eyes.

Damo the Deep One. No one knows where he comes from or how he became a BloodBowl coach but his tactical genius on the pitch cannot be denied. He resembles a fish-man, his scales/skin is blueish-green and his eyes are large and black. He is holding a large paper scroll with a match-winning play on it in red ink. Damo the Deep One.

Flounder has an important message!
He’s not a Guppy, that’s for sure and he has something to say to you. Yellow Deep One Herald with blue stripes to make him look like Flounder from Disney’s “The little Mermaid” his scroll quotes a famous line from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks “Fix your hearts or die!” On the base are several seashells and sand I collected this summer from the Scottish coast.

Squesh the Deep One Herald points out all the interesting things you can see before being sacrificed to the Master of the Deep.
Squesh pointing to his scroll list. It is written in blood. How this dried under the sea is a mystery that will not be revealed to you. There are glowing green eggs at his feet and he is accompanied by his starfish companion, Sebastian. Squesh points out the items of local interest including the Deepsun Altar, the Drowned Milestone and the bloody great red Trapped Seamine behind him. A close-up of Squesh with glowing eggs all around him, even under the broken Altar. To his left is the Drowned Milestone, where Sebastian's starfish friends live. Squesh indicating the colourful local flora surrounding the pillar of the Deepsun Altar, with a blue coral and a cluster of eggs beginning to cover Davy Jones' Locker. In the foreground is a Foundered Rowboat. Squesh hopes you enjoyed your tour and wishes you a pleasant journey home and perhaps you'll come back and visit again, only kidding, it's sacrifice time for you. Sebastian wriggles with silent starfish laughter.

Greetings! Serak the Preparer heralds your deliciousness!
A ichthyoid figure—mottled, verdigris scales; sharp, cruel teeth; and unblinking eyes as black as the deep—holds a scroll in blood-soaked hands. On it is a butchers’ diagram for the tastiest game—man! In sea fret, the side of the squamous shape. Beyond her, out of focus, an aviatrix-cum-investigator prepares to give the menu some constructive criticism—with a gun! Rear shot of the piscine horror. On the back of the scroll is a crude drawing of an angler fish, perhaps her mother. In the gloom of night and lit by firelight, we gaze straight into the visage of aquatic appetite.

They say "Read the find print!", but it's probably in tricky, ancient legalese
A bright green and teal Deep One Herald fish guy with orange fins and yellow eyes holding up a large scroll with indecipherable, tiny red lettering on, pointing at one bit like it is very important. The base is probably a beach on some kind, with water behind the herald, washing up old weeds, and sand in front of the herald. There's also a tiny weed in front of the herald's foot.

This deep one has stumbled into a tomb world with his treasure map. What awaits him inside? Hopefully these pesky machines lay dormant in his search for loot. How will he navigate these strange doorways and devices. Has he found the treasure he’s been looking for or has he got more than he bargained for with this map?

“Deep One Purple, Herald”
Calling to the depths of the purple sea, The herald of the Deep One speaks, Summoning Mother, summoning Father, From the abyss where secrets sleeps. Smoke under the water, fire in the deep, Smoke under the water, fire in the deep, Echoes of thunder, shadows that creep, Smoke under the water, fire in the deep. Rise from the trenches where secrets sleep, Bring forth the tide, let darkness sweep, Purple waves crash, the stars now weep, Smoke on the water, fire in the deep. Hear the call where the shadows lie, Hear the roar as the storms defy, Hear the hymn as the old gods cry, Smoke on the water, fire in the sky.

"A photograph of the Deep One Herald figure from Fenris Games, painted by Gavin Greig. We are looking at it from its right-hand side; because it has fish eyes on the side of its head, it is looking directly at us, and with a clawed finger is pointing at an open papyrus scroll, on which is vertically oriented Ogham script. It is standing on a dark wooden plinth in front of a scallop shell that's slightly taller than the figure, and its base is dressed to look like a rocky beach, including a conch shell and a fish skeleton. It is mainly petroleum green with much paler pearlescent highlights, but its hands and feet are a brighter green, its forehead plates are blue, and its dorsal fin is a golden yellow with black spines. As with most real-world Ogham scripts, the letters do not form intelligible words, but the first two, larger, read 'Ia! Ia!'" A photograph of the Deep One Herald figure from Fenris Games, painted by Gavin Greig. We are now looking at the figure head on, and the scallop shell background has been removed. We can see more clearly the rough edge of the scroll and the fish skeleton at its left foot. "A photograph of the Deep One Herald figure from Fenris Games, painted by Gavin Greig. We are looking directly at its spine and dorsal fin. The papyrus texture can be seen clearly on the back of the scroll." A photograph of the Deep One Herald figure from Fenris Games, painted by Gavin Greig. We are looking directly at the back of the scroll, and can just see the figure's left eye behind it. We can clearly see the papyrus texture of the scroll, and the coppery gold scroll holder. We also have a clearer view of the golden yellow dorsal fin with black spines, surrounded by paler folds of skin or straggly, fleshy 'hair' - it's hard to sure which. Ribs, warts, skin folds and other spiney fins on the arms and legs are obvious."
