Hi, I'm Cat, I've been hammering war since I picked up my first plastic power squatting space marines back in the late nineties. I'm an untreated AuDHD disaster, but at least following me means plenty of variety! ☺️

It is a well-known fact that women aren't interested in historical wargaming, and we only paint fairies and unicorns and princesses.

As proof, behold these four completely blank images that do not feature historical miniatures I have painted.

Fellow femmes, share your own!

Stirred up the hive a bit this evening, didn't I?

Some bloke in an office in Nottingham tomorrow like "what the fuck is a blue sky, and who's kitbashing cats?!?"

Seems fair I repost this:

This is what I have already taken pictures of & haven't deleted. Not pictured is my current work table (Saxons, Romano-British, & a few more Picts), the Cruel Seas & Black Seas stuff I put away for now, all of the Epic/13.5mm Napoleonic stuff I was working on before that, Greek 3mm, 1:3000 NavWar...

Is it surprising that a guy who runs a mid-sized wargaming company is a misogynistic asshole? No, not at all. Is it a little absurd when your #1 competitor has figured out that they can market these miniatures to women too & you decide to take a stance that makes you sound like a Gamergater? I mean.

I dunno, man. It just feels as though even allowing for the fact that your product could feasibly be of interest to women has the potential to open up an entirely new customer base, rather than being antagonistic toward the very idea. I've never run a company so maybe there's cooties on that money.

I think this is the fanciest-ass toilet I've ever been in! The hotel had men in top hats that called me madam, it's very strange, I don't like being treated like I'm posh, it's unnerving! 😂

I think that is definitely the law. I read it in a book. GW need to stop being cowards and make female Astartes a thing, even if it's only in an "alt universe" thing. Comics do it all the time with batman, evil batman, batman but he's a samurai, batman but he's manbat, batman but he's french...
Honestly once you have a fully custom converted army GW should legally be obligated to make it canon and give it rules

One day I'm going to write my own rules for the #Krakenborn - or find somebody who actually knows how to write solid, balanced rules and fun, unique units. They're currently technically Space Wolves and that works fine, but I am a special snowflake with a special snowflake army! 😂

Oh, good, round 515,363,286 of UK vs US food! Always an edifying conversation, one that's in no way just people pretending personal preference and differing levels of familiarity constitute a coherent critique.

Messing about with my latest PDF backdrop for my patrons - which I never ever talk about here, since this is more Handiwork Games stuff. But hey! I have seven years of Patreon posts available right now for a really low price.

Taking stock of my progress over the last 5 years since I started painting again. Here's the first mini I did after losing my dominant arm, and the last one for contrast. I keep Nigel the Ultramarine on my desk to remind myself that I've improved massively no matter what the brain gremlins say :)

I've never understood this - I can't say that I'm the most revolutionary socialist in the world, but I think the edgiest online space I've ever inhabited are Warhammer forums (CDO, my beloved!). Am I just sheltered, or is this extremely online discourse with no relation to the real world?
"All white trans girls had a nazi phase" was a grotesque misunderstanding of the phenomena where trans girls in the aughts/10s migrated to Edgy Dirtbag Spaces because the channers who would put up with the guy in the group chat that posts hotglue pics of his figures would put up with you being faggy

This time of year really sucks for picking up commissions but even a single figure or squad commission would help me out massively, so dm me or send me and email for a quote.

Banner Train!

I think she might be one of my favourite #Krakenborn minis I've ever done - though I don't think she's ever seen the tabletop, sadly! (Yet)

Happy Birthday, Professor Tolkien.

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

An extremely poignant statement today.

Every so often I need to mix some more Krakenborn Blue. Key features of Krakenborn Blue are a sorta petrol-y hue. It has no recipe, I just kinda eyeball it, it changes literally every time, and I might as well just use an off the rack. 😅
Also... it makes such a mess.

THE KRAKEN IS SUMMONED!!!

They are the Krakenborn, the 2nd Legion, spurned before the heresy and now returned to reave bloody vengeance across the galaxy. Their Primarch is Sgathach and she's huge 🦑❤️
