Wasn't thrilled by the box art for the Sekhetar robots when they were released, but the livery has really grown on me and I think they turned out really well. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minipainting

Why you don't need flake-utils

Writing by hand the abstraction may be less error-prone than using this popular abstaction library.

If you want a better ready made abstraction you can use flake.parts which is based on the module system

Five more rubric marines ready to march for Magnus. They're a pain to paint, but god do they look good. 😄 #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minipainting

Exposing the package in your devShell together with `pkg-config` usually does the trick. Although it the past I've set my own `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` envvar, but this is not recommended.

Zionists are desperate to criminalise anti-Zionist speech because they realise that, after 630 days of live-streamed genocide, everyone can see it is a violent extremist ideology and people are turning against it in a massive way.

Not a big fan of this helbrute model. It just looks so small next to a primaris dreadnought and the pose is too static, but I think I did it justice. The skin came out really nice 😄 #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting

maybe an introduction to how tactics in lean work as compared to manually pattern matching and substitution on the proposition.

Finished my second exalted sorcerer. Still loving the wet blending technique for shadow and highlights on the cape. Might go back and redo Ahriman's cape 😄 #paintedwarhammer #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #minipainting

Finished painting my first exalted sorcerer. Wet blending capes is GOATed. Much better than using washes imo. #paintingminiatures #paintedwarhammer #warhammer40k

Recall the Strategic Response Group (SRG) was originally sold as a specialized “counterterror” squad that could quickly respond to ISIS-style attacks and since its inception in 2015 has only been used to harass Black Lives Matter, anti-genocide protestors and striking workers.

Today the NYPD deployed the Strategic Response Group (SRG) to harass and arrest striking Amazon workers.

As Mayor, I will disband the SRG, which has cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements and brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their first amendment rights.

3D printed terrain for the Warhammer 40k boardgame 😄

Desantra @desantra.bsky.social · Dec 3

Ok so this was a lot more terrain than I was expecting... and I still have a couple of Scarab Occult Terminators and Ahriman to paint. My grey pile of shame is set for at least another 6 months and I'm kinda tempted to paint the owl first 😅 #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #wh40k
