Great work on the Marvel models. I find your work on superhero stuff quite inspiring, especially your approach to reflective and/or metallic surfaces. I'm still pretty hit-or-miss on that, but you consistently nail it.

Why yes, that is a selection of the characters from the shatterpoint starter and clone force 99. Sadly, the lure of the Bad Batch proved just to much. So, guess what my new obsession is

Thanks old son. I enjoyed it, that's for sure.
So, it being May the 4th...
Terrain from the shatterpoint starter set. I mean, yes, I *should* be painting Mandalorians...
Great terrain set, but not much fun to paint tbh.
Still, great to play on
A happy May 4th has been spent watching Dune 2 and doing this and other shatterpoint.
Going to see Episode 1 on Monday on the big screen. Hope to get more SW painted this weekend, and maybe some Blood Bowl too.
Good Times, spent honouring my faith

It's funny seeing how dakka has changed, or not, in the last 15 years. These days I try to post once a week, and it's certainly a good place to store and organise images, but I'm a bit sad to see it has become eclipsed by the instant responses of everything from Discord to Instagram.
Will I keep posting on dakka? Probably. It does allow me to keep track of what I'm doing without resorting to the arcane secrets of spreadsheets
Anyway, enough melancholic musings. More toys!
First up, and it some Blood Bowl!
Well, BB adjacent, certainly. The two linesmen are from a 3rd party khorne metal team that I'm using to test colours for my Norsca team, the Bluetooth Barstewards. And the pig in a bath is from the Farmer's Guild for Guildball, with a few changes and additions, to act as a fan factor marker. He's as happy as a pig in... mead.
Done some more bits for shatterpoint, mostly by way of avoiding the real work of doing the actual minis.
All the measuring tools, plus some MCP jersey barriers that I've chopped the lights off to give us some more scatter / cover. Oh and a spare mcp short ruler, as it's the same as Shatterpoint dash.
It all counts!

I am somewhat prejudiced against Instagram, as its use is the root of nearly every disciplinary problem we've had in the last five years. Instantaneous feedback is nice, I suppose, but I prefer taking the time to craft a post and any responses I make. I may be in the minority, though...
Good work on all the ancillary stuff. What's the point of painting a bunch of cool models if you only have a flat gray backdrop for them?

I agree, though Insta is less of an issue than roblox in our house. Insta is all a bit desperate. But it gets me a lot of free toys, so I shouldn't complain. And, yeah, absolutely! Got to bring the bling I say! But, it really is about time I got on with the monthly contest.

The game is excellent. And, fwiw, comes with all the cards in German as well as English.
And so, on to Clone Force 99!
Love The Bad Batch, and the models are glorious.
Hunter. That face tattoo. Yikes.
Tech. Closer to how I'll do the actual regular clones, albeit a bit grubbier.
Echo. Really pleased with face/skin.
Crosshairs. Such a good sculpt.
And Wrecker/ Omega. Freehand on the helmet was hell but happy with it. Very hard to get a good pic of Omega's tiny face.
That leaves Rex and the 501st clones plus the force users. But I think I'll Blood bowl next for variety.

Well that's also most encouraging if they rock your world without even knowing them!
Had an excellent game of Shatterpoint with the elder spawn today. The Bad Batch are lethal on the board and because they synergise with all clones they make the notoriously weak 501st much better. And because I can't abide playing with unpainted figs...
Captain Rex. Lovely sculpt. And...
501st troopers. It bugs enormously that I had to freehand the unit markings (the blues) considering how good the rest of the box set is for sculpted details.
The game itself was great, Anakin was underwhelming on his side, Lord Maul OK on mine but we both agreed that, although I lost, Ahsoka was the MVP. She is outstanding, very durable, reactive and lots of healing. Damn you Snips!
This week I've also been chugging away at my Norsca Slaaneshi Blood Bowl Team.
They have gone through a number of name changes but I think the Bluetooth Barstewards suits them.
I went with a 3d print of a big sexy ulfenwehr in place of yeehti, or whatever gw calls them.
Nice way to close out May. Next, Jedi and Sith.
