Warhammer, Transformers, Tabletop RPGs, assorted nerd stuff. I wanted to be a Social Justice Mystic Theurge, but turned out a Social Justice Commoner.
It's a lovely colour, but every time I look at it a voice starts belting out "I Believe In A Thing Called LOOOOOVE!!!"

The artwork they used for Raksi in 3rd edition #Exalted made me think of Shohreh Aghdashloo and I now cannot unhear it.

The combination of chapter colours and matte grey having been ripped off fro... inspired by... a variety of tanks over the years.

I have one Impulsor and one Repulsor undercoated, so I need a paint scheme.

Particularly, I need one that looks good with normal Red Talons infantry and the grey stealth colours.

With the aid of my Incredible Photoshop Mastery™ I have created a stunningly realistic concept:

I'm not quite sure what I've done wrong that has caused me to get a bunch of pro-Israel propaganda accounts on my Discover tab, but this is not the first one to have cropped up and I don't like it.

This is sorely testing my "block and don't engage" policy!

I believe that was the Ultramarines Upgrades sprue - which also had a bunch of bonces in it.

(Along with a whole raft of shoulder pads which would be wasted on my Red Talons.)

He, #WarhammerCommunity types, question:

Did the box of #SpaceMarine heads that was previewed a while back - and coming out "later in the year" - ever surface?

I want me some bionics and some helmet plumes.

So if #Batman is 30-something.

And Bruce Wayne is about 10 when his parents died.

Then the film that they were seeing before they got caught in the alley is probably...

You might be well served to look for coal near a good sized lake, as a good place to step up from initial power generation.

(Yes, I know the pumps at the front aren't connected yet. I got distracted.)

More Paint!

Mostly to address specific gaps - like a complete lack of strong pinks and dark skin tones - but also because I wanted to play around with some weird and wonderful effects.

I own precisely one funko pop, and I kinda like him.

(There is a limit on quite how MANY of the things I would want, though.)

While the nostalgia factor is mostly lost on me - I stopped paying attention before Zeo was new - I've been rather enjoying the currently ongoing Power Rangers Prime comics.

(This is mostly the RPG's fault, for being the same system as Transformers and doing crossover in the GM guide.)

Been bashing away at an un-Centos-ed Captain.

(Also found that my antique Blood Red had finally bled it's last - which was disappointing, but Army Painter's Fiery Vermilion is proving its worth.)

So I just put 'McDonalds 1974' into Google Images, and one of the interesting things that popped up was from the Facebook page "The Bygone Years" of the first location opening in the UK - their commentary in the description.

There's interesting information just THERE, if you're inclined to look.

(Correction to the above: 1934-1945 version)

If it was, as he claimed, something that he and friends got in Croatia, then it may be a direct reference to the "13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian)".

The unit was directly involved in attacks on Jewish and Serb civilians.
