My new avatar, a piece of art from my own hand. Will probably update as I practice more, yes the Welsh Wych is a Goblin. 😀

Also as pinning... family online nicknames, to help make sense of my posting

A picture of my own art as I lean to use the drawing tablet and clip studio... the Welsh Wych, who is a red haired Goblin Witch of the Chuckle Moon Clan who really likes big hats.

Had a bit of a heart attack this morning as PC wouldn't start, fan trying to turn, light flashing on graphics card, thankfully unplugging it for 2mins allowed it to reboot, and it seems my Nvidia app uninstalled itself at some point... so updated and hopefully problem solved.

And its done, took a slight bit longer & still have some bits to sort on the table, but the new set up is done. Moved Contrast to my little shelf above the wacom, Shades are in the rack by the lamp, all other paints on that shelf to left. Hopefully this fits me better.

#Nerdlings #Hobby #Hobbyspace

A pic of the new set up, have maneuvered modelling area/painting area to the left, all my standard paints are on that shelf on the left with two vertical painting racks at the back, Shades on clear rack in front by the lamp and all Contrast now on shelf above the Wacom. The key change her is having the Wacom permanently set up rather than hidden away, as I'd often think, hmm in the mood to draw and then realized I needed to get it all out and set up and didn't bother. My Keyboard and monitor are now dead centre on the corner, which while typing this feels a lot better, so happy with that change.
I have lost some modelling space with the new set up, and I doubt the bases pots will stay in those spots long term, but I am doing more model construction in the living room anyway, and in fact moved the larger green cutting mat into the living room, and brought the smaller one in here to bridge the gap under the shelf to the desk.

With my Mordheim/Frostgrave ruins project now starting, I'd so be up for GW releasing the Manse again.

This all looks amazing absolutely stunning work, also that GW terrain gets a bit of flak on occasion, but its often so good.

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 3d

So my plan for the next 2 days (was hoping just today but work later this afternoon might scupper plans) is to try and make this a more useful space. The key thing is setting up my Digi-art pad so it has a permanent location. (bottles are weighing down a terrain base)

#Nerdlings #Hobby #Hobbyspace

My corner has become quite the mess of late, a pic of the devastation, need a full resort, have an idea of what I want to do and will be working on it for the rest of the day up until work, and finished at worst in the morning. (Also please ignore the terrain base behind the curtain.. (Under the bottles) Nerdlings Comp for the month on its way.

So reading all the rules/amendments, I can construct the core building/paint it for the entry, and then if I want to add skulls/scatter from GW kits, do that after the compo has been judged.

Seems fair enough, just gives me a 'second' reveal when all the bits get added after. 😊

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 9d

Only got a couple in red, my Word Bearers section for Imperialis and my often shared Blood Queen hero for 40K.

Really need to get a Evil Sunz Ork/unit painted for next time red comes up. 😅

My Blood Queens 40K model, 3rd party, entered to a nerdling comp earlier in the year.

Heheh, don't tell the usual suspects, I can imagine them blowing gaskets they didn't know they had when they realize the real reason... nothing to do with 'wah! tourists ruining the hobby' and its just GW protecting its IP/bottom line.

I kinda hope so, a good chunk of my 3rd party purchases have been models allowing me to add more Women to my rank and file 40K armies, or to add more ladies to Warbands/Gangs in the Specialist studio games.

Would be painful if all of those were suddenly under threat, as GW ain't going to do them.

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 9d

Aye, I found them useful for getting lady versions for Necromunda gangs that didn't have any official GW versions, but they are clearly still heavily 'inspired' by the GW factions in question, so would also be up for litigation.

The Diabolical urge to take that 'Warlord' and make it a centre piece for the Emperors Children part of the Imperialis army is quite high tbh. I have found I enjoy trying to salvage bizarre third party models.

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 9d

Hell part of the reason I can see GW finally giving us Lady Marines, is at the moment they have no defence against 3rd party rule 63'd Marines as they don't have any.

I'm not shocked, got a couple of Ghamak figs, and they are literally in some cases GW models in different poses... tbh I'll be more shocked if 'Across the Realms' aren't being targeted as well, as they have even more on the nose models, and I do have a fair few of those as well tbh.

I felt they were finally finding some sort of decent ground just before it got cancelled, took them too long to find their feet.

But yeah, still an odd choice, I remember rumour at the time saying it was his daughter who was a fan and talked him into it, but no idea if that was ever accurate.

Whoops was supposed to respond to you, but answered on Delilah's post... 🙃

but yeah, one of the lists I subbed to, the very british bigotry had already blocked her for me. Seems I am not missing out.

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 14d

I'm subbed too, I mean. 😅

What's funny is it removed the Labour Party for me as well... but that's not much of a loss. 😂

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 14d

Ah the 'Very British Bigotry' list I'm on nuked her for me already.

I was in pain when they finally cancelled a proper follow on to Legacy and replaced it with this.

But yeah, won't be watching this.

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 21d

Done a bit more on the Nobz Mob before work, alas 8hrs of work before I can get near them again.

Got some more painting done today, still having a end of summer sort, trying to get places sorted before winter sweeps in, so been busy most of the time.

Orks are slowly getting there, and the War council Nobz mob is catching up to the other mobz.

#Nerdlings #Orks #Warhammer40K

A pic of the Orks, painting still continuing from previous pictures, been a bit busy so not as far along as I would like, but the Nobz mob is catching up.

Its bizarre... just when Starmer had more than enough pressure on him from backbenchers feeling they've been sold a lemon it couldn't get worse, he does something as woefully unpopular as this. Also a rarity that it seems to have no left/right divide on the issue, nearly everyone hates it.

Welsh Wych🏳️‍⚧️ @welshwych.bsky.social · 26d

I also really need to sort this overflow of models (mostly Etsy stuff) out, but at least I've got no work today, been a very odd Summer. 🙃

Kinda of glad Autumn is coming to refocus the senses.

#Nerdlings

A pic of the ragtag collection of models that have built up in front of the soundbar and Monitor in my hobby corner. Some GW bits, but mostly Etsy 3rd party models.

Been prepping the house for winter, sorta reverse spring clean to make sure nothing is near any of the heaters, as temps have been falling at night.

Today is a eBay prep/listing day but hopefully I'll get to share some hobby later.

Yeah one of my fave flaws in Vampire the Masquerade was the one were your vampire brought into the whole movie sticht of the 'Vampire rules' and couldn't see their reflection... might have been Lasombra specific (been a while since I played) but it was a funny one to take.
