Little over 3k of heresy era Mechanicum in epic scale. Need to take better pictures but it's nice to have the whole thing done and lined up.

Getting in a Saturday afternoon match of the beautiful game, Norse vs Chaos Dwarfs. Tied at 1 at the half.

"Gemini can do more for you in sheets"

Can it fuck right off into the sun? Can you do that for me, Gemini?

Helping the boy hang his freshly finished model of the Enterprise from the ceiling, because some things are eternal

Praetorian Breacher, 8th Chapter, XIII Legion (Horus Heresy scale); and a whole mess of epic scale ones.

My son made gingerbread men cookies and I relate to the various emotional states on display

I convinced my Bambu that it's a resin printer

I've played a fair bit of NetEA but yesterday was my first game with Heresy era lists, introducing a friend to the game. Had a blast. I've been pushing on getting stuff painted for it so I've gotten to the point where I have a decent little force of the best Legion ready to go.

Finished Dwarf fleet for Man o War

Dwarf Ironclad for Man o War, the Grobkarin. Played this for the first time in like 30 years with my son. This and Warhammer Fantasy got me into this hobby.

The whole warband. Really happy with how these guys came together - Frostgrave has fantastic plastic kits from Northstar but it's so much fun to come up with a crazy idea and lean into it for your warband.

My Frostgrave rat warband needed an Infantryman so I quickly kitbashed something that I'm pretty pleased with.

Space Marines!

Getting as much rattle can spraying done as I can on what may be the last warm weekend for a while. These are the boy's epic scale Salamanders. Not pictured, my epic scale Lamenters.

Today's moment of "I still can't believe what mid-range filament printers can produce nowadays", a Furioso box dread in Epic (6mm) scale. That's a Canadian nickel he's standing on. Printed on my Bambu A1, 0.2mm jot end, eSun PLA+ filament.

Trying out eSun PLA+ filament on my Bambu A1 and wow, it's kind of amazing to me how good filament printers are nowadays.

Fresh off the painting table. Did you know that in 1940 the French had honest to god fully tracked APCs? They looked goofy as shit but they worked. Printed on my Bambu A1 in 1/56 for Bolt Action.

On the workbench this morning, a French AMC P16 half track. These were produced right after WW1 (the roller on the front is to allow it to cross wider trenches) and was very obsolete by 1940. The French cav units were all initially equipped with these before real tanks were available.

Did up a little 1/56 French 75 as a terrain piece for my France 1940 table. This has the ww1 spoked wheels and I don't really have room for it in my org chart but I think it'll add some nice atmosphere as terrain.

Nfeyma's STL, printed on a Bambu A1, 0.2mm hot end, highest quality settings. Honestly this is absolutely as good as a resin print. Such a fantastic model and it came out perfectly.

DAK SiG 33 on Pzkfw 2 Bison. Crew are Bolt Action plastics, vehicle was printed on my new Bambu A1, 0.2mm hot end, highest quality settings, in basic PLA. Super happy with what that machine can do.

Bolt Action in the desert. Playing Breakout from the v3 rulebook. DAK were in the lead all game but the Brits pulled out a tie in the final turn.
