Old time Warhammer-er. But happy to explore. Lots of Nurgle, but with the occasional Ork and other things. Mainly AoS, Warcry, Necromunda and 40K if I can be tempted.

Rictus @rictus-still.bsky.social · Nov 17

I suppose I should do an intro post for pinning.

So, hello, my name is Rictus and I have a problem. I have too many ideas for things that is healthy or useful.

I often dabble with Nurgle in various systems, but also known for Ork vehicles and I dabble here and there in other things.

A taster...

Well I'm sure they have plenty of gas in them to help with buoyancy.

Rictus @rictus-still.bsky.social · 14h

Would be perfect with a Nurgling bobbing up and down in it.

The rear of the superstructure got detailed up with gubbins, hatches, exhausts, stowage and others bits.

A few more details at the rear, a Mekboy krewman and a picture showing how the tank breaks down.

Tomorrow I'll show the finished, pre painted, tank.

If I said i was interested in the new Tron film, I'd be lying.

However, new NIN...

He's always worth a listen i think, and always great live. Seen him a fair number of times now, either as support or headlining, and each time it was great.

Looking forward to reading it and enjoying all that awesome artwork.

Warning: if you grabbed a Love Minis, Hate Fascism shirt from me/Fenris a couple of weeks ago, please make sure it was me you ordered from. Just had somebody here asking about the poor print quality of their shirt...when I've not received them from the printers yet.

Fucking scammers.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Book 23

"Wild Folk People" by Beans on Toast.

Needed a non scifi/fantasy break, so read the book i picked up at the gig on the Edinburgh trip. Was able to speak to Jay (aka Beans) at the time who generously signed it for me.

About songs and the people who were their inspiration. Nice read.

An update.

It has to have a banner, keeping with the old school vibe.

So, mocked this up tonight.

Flamin' Ork skull. Will be same on both sides. May have cross piece to support the flames.

Granny Weatherwax is finished!

Although I had a lot of problems painting her, and she didn't turn out as well as I hoped, I'm still so happy with what I accomplished. Lessons were learned and hopefully I did Esme justice.

Some day I might fix her hat brim and paint a gold bee on the plinth. ☺️

For the two people who've ordered a Master casting of this, you'll get all the horn and arm options; i'll be making the Production kit a build your own options version, I think, no way I can put every option in the production version for the price and it would be environmentally unsound, I guess?

Big horns and mutant claw/eldritch blade arm 90% done. Splayed hand will get a dangle skull and moulded before I try to do any magical effects

For Orktober, how about an old project I've only ever shown on here as a finished build.

Da Choppa, aka Looted Shadowsword.

Compared to some of my other builds not too mad as I didn't extend/widen the hull etc.

Book 22

"Bastions of Law"

Quick read, doesn't feel like as much background in this compared to other 'House' books. Having two gang lists taking up pages may be one reason.

Still great artwork and titbits in there, though.

It happened. I have run out of display space. As such, and because it's Orktober my Necromundan Sump Orks are up for sale. DMs are open if you're interested. If it sells I'll build something ridiculously large for my chaos androids. And a bike for the kid.

Not married to the little blade fins yet but something along these lines. Trying to square off a cylinder is tricky too...

Staff work in progress. Horned demon skull possibly some sort of carved crystalline material when painted

I like the smooth horns (easier to scrape away inevitable mould lines) but also feel like there should be some sort of jewellery going on? Like little loops of finery

Crab claw and eldritch blade arm slow going

This was sold many years ago, it was a build project only and wasn't built for any particular rules etc.
