Have a picture of my dog with Urbie the Mech at NoVa, to reaffirm that there's goodness still possible in the District of Columbia.

A black and tan Shih Poo stands on a bench in front of a giant inflatable combat mech at a gaming convention because it's adorable.

An ill-advised late night posting session with @goobermunch.bsky.social and @questauthority.bsky.social resulted in me getting to review Combat Patrol Magazine for @goonhammer.com, and now I have finished both the Space Marine and Tyranid Combat Patrols. #warhammercommunity #minipainting

I painted Archaeon the Everchosen because I wanted to paint something different and chaos, as opposed to my Tyranids and Space Wolves.

Finished a model I have had in my backlog for some time - a Ghost Bears Zeus from Battletech. This was designed to match the Highlander I painted last year at Adepticon. #battletech #nerdlings #paintingminis #hobbynight #goonhammer #zeus #paintingtogether #mechwarrior

Yesterday was a bad day.

So I decided to try and bring some joy into the world to counteract the awfulness: I finished off my #Seraphon Realmshaper Engine, a terrain piece to accent my Seraphon Spearhead.

From left to right, top to bottom: Dark Angels Inner Circle Companions, Dark Angels Dreadnoughts and Techmarine, Dark Angels Land Raider, Azrael, and Bladeguard Veterans, Ultramarines Cersastus Knight Acheron, Dark Angels Helmet with a cowboy hat on top of it worn by me, Dark Angels Astraeus, Dark Angels Ravenwing Outriders with Sammael, Leman Russ Tank Commander, Ultramarines Captain Uriel Ventris. All painted by me in 2024. Even the buildings.

As 2024 comes to an end with a 4500 point Dark Angels army, I find myself needing to paint something that isn't green.

Dark Angels Ravenwing Outriders! I used the new Dark Angels Upgrade Sprue on my Indomitus Outriders for these guys, and could not help but cook up some fun army shots. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #darkangels #grotmas #ravenwing #goonhammer #minipainting #spacemarines
