#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2146. Not exactly thrilled with him, but I've covered all of Inquisitor-Magus Elceladus Bossk' undercoat. I'm hoping once I put some more metallics on him, he'll look okay.
Odd duck. Painter. Sculptor. Artist. Musician. Writer. Miniature games, tattoos, punk rock, and short fiction are specialties. Steampunk shit is just for special people. Probably dead, just haven't realized it yet.

So, M, you recommend the dip, then? I swear by AP's regular and Speedpaints, but I've yet to buy a can of dip.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2145. Next for the Obsidian crew, Soundwave! I'm kidding. But here's my "Dollar" store finds for the day. Time to make dinner, then paint.

The X15's were better. "Chonky" doesn't say "stealthy" to me.

And finally, a Celestial squad of the Order of the Ashen Shrine, committed to Inquisitor Giovanni Carlo. Plus a few other random lackeys. These all just needed rebasing and relocating.
Chin Squig/Game Cat (@chin-squig.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, a Celestial squad and a Seraphim squad, both of the Order of the Sacred Heart, both in the service of Her Grace Inquisitor-Lady Saris Bastet. These were all hand-based with #armypainter 's Brush-on Primer - YE GODS, I love that stuff...
Chin Squig/Game Cat (@chin-squig.bsky.social) reply parent
Thirdly, a Kahl of the Zuul-Vinzklortho Conglomerate. Much better rattlecan work, pretty pleased. He may or may not be traveling with the Inquisition on board the Obsidian, not sure yet. If he is, I'll need to rebase him, no big deal...
Chin Squig/Game Cat (@chin-squig.bsky.social) reply parent
Next, a CRAP undercoat on another Admech guy, not sure if I can really salvage him. So, NOT so happy...
Chin Squig/Game Cat (@chin-squig.bsky.social)
#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2144. *phew!* Lots accomplished this evening. So heerz sum fingz wot I dun termite! Firstly, I'm SO glad I was able to repair my Admech Inquisitor; both sides of his choppy fing have been broke off for quite a while. Now both halves are pinned and reinforced...happy!!!

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2143. Busy day, but I got some more paint on another lackey. His name will be Santiago Múnoz. I still haven't named the guy with the clown hair yet.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2141. Grahame Hardersen is 95% complete. Found a few tiny details I missed once I zoomed in on his pics. Also, his face sucks.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2141. Working on 3 Inquisitorial zealots/flunkies/henchmen/hired meat. I'm hoping to finish at least one of them tonite, but its still pretty early.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2140. Lots of random things tonight - got some more colours down on Inquisitor Me, for starters. I also cut my staff down to more of a truncheon length. (Sneaking Spikor in for photo 4) BTW, the unplayable but cool MOTU models are parts fodder, unless I like them...

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2139. She looks less good zoomed in, but Her Grace has her black robes highlighted, and I'm happy with them. Failed another job interview today, so depression says go the FUCK to sleep.

*recurring dream* I'm stuck in a 3+ storey Airport/shopping mall/small city. I'm there waiting on a ride to wherever. It never comes, or I never find my way to them. There's bars, restaurants, and shops in between. And the architecture is funny/warped/confusing. Might be either Hell or Heaven.

Heard a cover of "The Boys of Summer" (Don Henley) this morning. It was rather good, and I LOVED that they updated the lyric "saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac," to "saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac. "

As Her Grace Inquisitor Saris Bastet is becoming a test platform of sorts, I think I'm going to paint her tabard in a checkerboard pattern. Mostly, she'll be black and white, except for her neon green hair and her copper bits.
Chin Squig/Game Cat (@chin-squig.bsky.social)

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2133. More progress on my Psychomancer. Do flames need a gloss coat? I'm happy otherwise. Last step will be left arm and blue highlights.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak days 2128-32. Been a busy few days, but I've made decent progress on my Psychomancer (he needs a name). I'm happy with the fire effect - needs some shading yet, then its time to start finishing him. I've also been working on Inquisitor Me, but no pics yet. Tallyho!

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2127. Apparently useless on the field, I LOVE the psychomancer model - I bought the Pariah Nexus box only for the Necrons. So here's initial highlights. He'll be a LOT darker by the time he's finished, but this is how I operate.

#nerdlings #hobbystreak day 2126. Well, my pyromancer has his psychic hood on. Atm, it looks like a fancy sombrero, hopefully I can fix that with some paint. At least the fit is pretty snug. Need a tiny bit of green stuff to tie it in on the back of his coat.
