Battletech, on the other hand, is the game for which I allow all of the extra crunch and rules. With a little effort one can learn the game well enough to have fun pretty quickly, but the option is there to go deeper, incorporate more complexity for a richer game if one desires.

Many of the games I build models for and play are art projects above all. They have light rule sets that can be learned in a game or two. They are super fun, are easy to teach and look great on the table.

@rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social , the Goblin Knights are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to paint them!

After a game on Sunday, I got had out some terrain, so I fooled around taking a few shots. Here are the Howler 3 "Devil" and Shadow Cat Prime, painted up for Raven Alliance Gamma Galaxy, my favorite force.

Another of the Howler. The board and XPS foam terrain by me.

Shadow Cat Prime, though next I play I'll be looking for a newer variant.

Sculpted, made the mold and cast this model earlier this year. I gave away probably thirty of them, but only now got around to painting one for myself.

Continued WIP, a Kodiak in canon colors, Raven Alliance Delta Garrison Galaxy. Fuzzy in the background, a Timberwolf and Hunchback IIC queued up for the same treatment.

I'm so stoked about these models!

Replacing the FEP on my resin printer, dislodged a gasket that stretched and would not go back in. Found a file, printed a new one in TPU!

The resin vat to my printer, now with shiny new, blue, film gasket.

@kitbash-chaos.bsky.social designed a new flier for the Colorado grimdark crowd.

If you're in the Rocky Mountain area (Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, I'm looking at you) get in touch!

Got together to play #Shadowdark at an FLGS last week. The caster fumbled a spell, as one does.

The group divided as the caster rolled on the Wizard Mishap Table...

The #dungeonsanddragons players were cheering for the most favorable result.

The #morkborg players were cheering for the worst.

You're so great at capturing such character in your models 😍

I'd be stoked to work with local artists and make molds for them as well.

Vexing Workshop @vexingworkshop.bsky.social · Apr 15

Between the bounty hunter, the stone oven, the doors and the mold currently curing, I'm starting to see a hint of a catalog. Maybe I'll put up a shop? Nobody would want these, but it's good practice, and since it's cast to order, there's no overhead.

Vexing Workshop @vexingworkshop.bsky.social · Apr 15

Since I work from home, it's pretty easy to slip away from time to time to make another cast, at least when the weather is warm. I figure I can't make all of the mistakes I need to learn from if I'm not at least somewhat dedicated.

Another mold is in the works, curing as we speak.

Some of you have seen this on other platforms, but I wanted to update here. I’ve continued to make casts of f this and a couple of other models I’ve been working on. Arriving at a workflow.

Silicone mold for my alien bounty hunter

First cast! There are issues, but these have been addressed in subsequent casts.

Your shipment from Wargames Atlantic is on the way.

I know it’s pretty basic stuff, but I’m having a lot of fun building up a library of terrain. WIP shipping containers for #cyberpunkredcombatzone or #minigangs or #killsampleprocess

Foam core, corrugated craft paper and pizza boxen become shipping containers

These are the @ramshackle_games @pierre_bunk kickstarter goblins! Gorgeous sculptures and casts I’m excited to get these based and painted. I feel a #cauldronskirmish war band coming on!

We're looking for MÖRK BORG game masters for an event in Copenhagen from April 25th to 26th.
Requirements: Familiarity with MB or the ability to somewhat confidently fake it. And not being a dick.
It's not required, but you'll enjoy the event more if you like extreme metal, tattoos and Danish beer.

The black angel is so cool, though I do chuckle at his “Ha ha!” Jump
