The Assassin. I finished him on the weekend but didn't feel like posting him given the actual assassinations that have happened. So much death and despair lately. Be kind to each other.

I loved the Princess Bride as a kid. This is so awful. 😢 I feel sick, and I have a terrible feeling the last project he was working on was the reason he was murdered. Godspeed to you and your wife, Rob. Your legacy will endure for a long time to come.

The warrior! I feel a lot of things came together for this, and I feel a surge of encouragement! I learned about black lining from Anne Foerster, who I remember learning from when we were both a lot younger. It adds definition that was missing from the earlier pieces. #talisman #miniatures

Bouncing back from the elf, we have the Minstrel! I'm pleased with how it turned out. This mini taught me how to thin paints with flow improver, which really helped with the white stripes. The serial killer smile creeps me out though. #talisman #miniatures

The elf! Hoo boy. What can I say... Two steps forward, a leap backwards? Don't give up kitty! This mini almost made me give up. But I'm going to soldier on. It's a good thing nobody plays the elf. #talisman #miniatures

The thief! There's not much to say here. He's pretty small, either a tiny man or a halfling (does Warhammer have those?). With such limited real estate I focused on getting the basics right, and I think I succeeded.

The ghoul! For some reason he's the only mini from the set with an actual base. Maybe he hocked his clothes to buy it. I'm getting more comfortable with layering and shading, but need a lot more practice. The shading on the back of his head is the wrong hue and too strong. #talisman #miniatures

The Troll. Hooo boy, do not look directly at it. He looks like he's about to sew his own costume and yell WHERE'S FRANCIS at the other minis. Layering is turning out to be a challenge. At least trolls can get away with looking like they have a terminal skin disease. #talisman #miniatures

The dwarf! It was fun painting him, I always did like metallic paints. My brush control is shit, and it shows. I've also got to practice paint thinning. I tried Nuln Oil on the armor and.... Ehhhh. It did the job but I wasn't blown away, I wanted it more intense.

When it came to choosing what paints to use, it came down to being practical. My FLGS stocks Vellejo Game Color, Proacryl and Citadel.

I started off by painting the toads once I got my paints. I tried a bunch of different techniques and asked my son and spouse which one they liked. They both liked the triangle based one, which was the simplest, technique-wise.

For my first project, I'm going to paint the minis from my 4th edition of Talisman!

I'm getting back into miniature painting after a long hiatus (30 years!) I still have the first mini I ever painted, which was from one of those old 'learn to paint kits' from Reaper:

@idrawcaralines.bsky.social Hi Cara, I just wanted to say Thank you for your 'Book of Cara Secrets'. I'm trying to get back into mini painting and it was really nice to come across it in a sea of warhammer speedpainting tutorials. It's both inspiring and useful.
So again, thank you! 🙇

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented.
"Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her.
"Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him.
"Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.

Convinced Musk is so far gone at this point that if he did sober up, he'd have no recollection of the last 3 years and be shocked to discover that he owns Twitter
