So, to summarize:
- no shipping to the US (until further notice)
- no shipping to Canada (for the duration of the strike)
Donations are welcome, purchases help me clear room for more creations, and commissions are even more so (as they do not take space).

And none of the intended purposes of Warhammer, are "to be a good or functional game".
1. They want to sell absurdly expensive rulebooks.
2. They want tournament players to keep up with updates.
3. They literally can't make the game balanced, because the release schedule is set in motion in advance.

Normally, this would only result in posts being invisible to those with specific moderation settings enabled.
This may be a sign of much bigger problems with site-wide moderation.

My posts don't show up in searches and hashtags, this is devastating. I'm small enough as it is, I'll never reach people this way.

I don't spam, don't abuse hashtags or use irrelevant ones, I flag when appropriate, what am I doing wrong?

I'm just a little artist trying to sell 4€ minis

Weirdly enough, your posts are not showing up in search results.
Like, I'm literally going there by clicking on a tag in the post. And it's not there.

This statement is supposed to mean that "a piece of media needs to know its scope".
For example, Helldivers 2 are a multiplayer game. Not for me. And that's fine.
Warhammer 40k fails at being a game for many reasons, some of them rooted in bizarre distribution method (periodical hardcover books).

A collection of figures inspired by works of Tsutomu Nihei.
All kitbashed, some based on my own sculpts.

Four painted figures against black background:
- a child in a dress, holding a rag doll
- a praying woman in a white dress, with her face covered by a white veil
- a tall skeletal knight in weathered bronze armour and a black cloak
- a naked, malformed person wearing a metal breastplate and a suspiciously face-shaped helmet

First ever Mech You Shouldn't Lick (more so than the other mechs)

Except that "Alaskans" have not "voted for Trump".
184 thousand people did.
Alaska has 740 thousand, about third of which are below the voting age.

Weirder yet: the most recent post in search results for #miniatures does not appear in this feed.

That is an interesting question.
On one hand, this post shows up in the feed that draws upon that hashtag.
On the other, it didn't show up in search results (but also, many other posts did not – the last is 4 hours ago!).

I painted this one twice!

A miniature of a demon, dull red, resting with a massive patinated sword.

Same model, converted - the sword is engulfed in flames, and the wing behind is feathery.
This one is not red, but very pale blue. With red loincloth.

She is on the list of "billionaires living in the US", as well as "private jet users".
The fact that this list does not reach her despite her obscene wealth, shows how bad the situation is.

I just realized that density and destiny have the same letters.

They should make a life-size (240cm tall) version of the sniffer plush.

It may seem to be Drossel, but it is in fact Dahlia's seal of approval.

Why would he be, he wanted this to happen.

They are paying the duties to the "qualified party" approved by the US customs.
(qualified party, in this case, is the company that lobbied for this very situation for months)

Technically, it was not the CEO who did this, but the "professional lobbyist with connections to select governments and experience involving de minimis rule" that they hired in April.

But there is.
The usual procedure for parcels that couldn't be processed, is to return them to sender.

The entry procedure is performed by the recipient (who is "importing" it) - and they can just refuse, or wait it out - in both cases, it simply goes back.
No idea why UPS decided to destroy it.

I remember articles about lawyers who did just that (citing nonexistent, LLM-hallucinated cases in court).

I've been feeling unwell lately.
And spent several days playing Dark Souls (for the first time).
Here are some conversions it inspired, all based on my own sculpts.
#miniaturepainting #fantasyminiatures #grimdark

Four figures in assorted shiny armour and drab clothes.
One of them wears heavily corrugated plate armour with an onion-shaped helmet.
Another, in dark robes with a tall shiny helmet.

View from the right.
The knight carries a two-handed sword on the shoulder.

View from the back left.
The woman on the right is dragging a large leather sack. She has shiny armour on the lower back - two vertical rows of plates over chainmail.
