Working to have all my Kings list at least battle ready, so I've 5 Tormentors base coated and ready. Still a ways to go but I think this conveys who they are quite well.

Oh that's a very cool website, I didn't know that was the source, I just saw an older picture when searching the original meme. Thank you! <3

Guybrush is right!

Google also told me that, adjusted for inflation, this comes out to $44.39, which is a genuinely good cut off point honestly.

I decided to write about myself a bit, ended up writing 2650 words in about 2 hours. It was fun, I wouldn't mind doing more creative work like that. Not sure I'll post it yet but I want to work up to that. Flex another way to be imaginative.

It's been a rough day, but my elves are coming along. I managed to spill not one but two bottles of paint (agrax and Black Templar contrast) to top it all off. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Funny thing, every time I paint my Khorne doggos, I forget to take a photo. They're all ready for highlights, but I just keep forgetting to do it after I make progress. At least the bulk of them is done, they can look pretty on bsky later.

Back out of the house, might be the last week I subject people to very poor lighting. More wood elves, and some Nightstalkers too, trying to just work to get base coats and shading done. I forgot some paints this time, but there's plenty to do regardless.

I start with ANGER, 2 vowels, common ender, and fairly easy to branch off from and use IOU for your second guess regardless of what you get. Never repeat letters you don't have to unless absolutely necessary.

My goal is 3 guesses most days, but I don't know my personal stats.

I'm also putting together a Horus Heresy list now I've time to figure it out, focusing on what I've got painted, should let me slowly build up from 2k points. I dunno if it'll be good, but it has a lot of Breaching lol

Getting my Wild Riders mounts blocked in, and building up the bases for my Nightstalkers. When all is said and done, I'll have 1500 points ready to play!

5 Wild Riders, mount colours applied, work in progress

3 Kings of War multi bases, two for Tormentors and 1 for Soulflayers

Soulflayers on multi base with milliput applied to integrate models into base.

I've a long way to go but I'm realizing I'm a lot more AuDHD than just ASD. I'm trying to care more for myself there but it's genuinely overwhelming me to think about what I need to get done overall.

Work in progress, but at least I know what to look for in myself.

Base coats on the first Sister of the Thorn, plus the rest of the Tormentors assembled and basing planning. Little bastards are a nightmare to fit in place but it'll be worth the pain.

I've at least one more week out of the house, but I'm glad I've enough time to get a good 30 models in a fine place, especially core stuff I find a slog and wouldn't look at otherwise.

Toast3y @toast3y.bsky.social · 5d

One week later and nearly 20 Elves are... Just base coated 😭

Not even all of the model I skipped the cloaks! But they do look good all together now.

The irish presidential election is basically now between "dog fighting transphobe" and "woman who destroys children in soccer matches"

I will be voting for Connoly in support of her war on childrens egos.

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

It's been a real "sit in darkness for 20 minutes to prepare to do one thing" kinda day.

I also forgot to post yesterdays Elves! 3 more batch painted.

This whole 'reading' and 'holding a book' thing is not too bad honestly, I might have to give writing a go sometime.

Best news I could get today, thank you! Act 3 LETS GOOOOOO!

Toast3y @toast3y.bsky.social · 7d

Another 4 Elves finished. Would be 5 but I broke a piece and will need to finish her later. 7 left to go, then cloak, washes, and basing.
