Hello! I put together a basic 'So You've Left Hobby Twitter' starter pack for new joiners to Bluesky who maybe feel a bit lost. It's not exhaustive but should be enough to get a complete beginner started with a mix of content creators, writers and hobbyists. Please share around

All the RL drama and chores have eaten into my mojo massively but mainly I am lamenting making life harder for myself with all these bloody chains and dangle doodads on the new Fallen One #miniatures #chaos #demons
I call this combo of parts Darkness That little star bracelet thing is really busting my bustable bits. Si fiddly to try to make it sharp and detailed with a lump of flattened steel and putty instead of a 3d program

You've been kidnapped! The characters from the last TV show you watched are your only hope for rescue. Who's coming to save you?

Am I fucked? I've only watched the first episode, so I've no idea 😆 (not spoilers)

UR-025. Last of the Blackstone Fortress character models.
GW used to have fun with names so I was trying to work out what this was.
UR=You are. -025=less than 25?
No clue, anyhow, this is what is looks like.

There’s a modular log fort and if it proves popular then there are a fe other things I'll add to it.

Can also be used for renaissance, FIW, pirate stockades... Indeed, there are lots of uses 👍

An overhead view of the fort from the front. There’s a gate in the middle of the front wall with a tower on either side. It’s square and there is an Empire hero in the left tower wondering where his garrison has gone. A low down scenic shot of the fort about to be attacked by orcs. There’s a blue/grey backdrop and trees on both sides. The Empire hero is glad his garrison came back as he does t think he’d be able to hold off the orcs on his own. A low down view of the front of the fort whilst it’s being attacked by orcs. A couple of ladders have been placed up against the walls in the vein hope the orcs can actually climb them without arguing with each other. Another scenic view of the fort protecting a small river ford. Blue/grey backdrop again with verdant grasslands on either side of the river.

I painted the whole Van Saar gang a couple of months ago, with the core gang reinforced by Archeoteks and Neoteks. I will soon paint more specialists to join them!

Took me a second to work out the logistics here, Fred does like to fold himself into boxes in odd ways. Obviously I went in for danger tickles.

I love when someone says 'You can't drybrush Space Marines!' I love it so much I immediately go and do it, just to watch the miniature catch fire, fall over, then sink into the swamp-... wait.

A few traditional edge highlights in a couple places, but that green is all stippling and drybrushing!
