Foetid bloat drone, tripod conversion.

I like tripods, Nurgle is all about the 3's, just swap the 3 fans for legs...
Many hours later, you have this.

I also scratch-built the missing weapon options and magnetised all 3.

As with Nurgle the painting involves a lot of pus seeping and, particularly because of the fleshmower, lots of blood splatter.

Front views of the foetid bloat drone tripod with all 3 weapon options. Lots of pus and blood.
Rear views of the foetid bloat drone tripod showing off the legs.

You're trying to enjoy a nice evening of wargaming with your horse, then some guy in a fluffy-fronted shirt walks in, threatens you with a pencil and steals your whiskey.

[EDIT: THREADS HAS BEEN BLOCKED]

Okay to anyone who can tell me, HOW DO I BLOCK #THREADS?

I came and stayed because here is not under the thrall of almost all the nonsense that hurt my mental health and I left other platforms over.

I have no lust in having to deal with money driven algorithm influence.

Don't give me your arguments why it's not a bad thing if you feel that way - I'm not interested, just tell me how to murder that shit pre-emptively. My loss 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tried to get that sweet galaxy look but ran into problems.

  • the blue I wanted to use was opaque rather than transparent.
  • the orange I then used was too opaque
  • quincadrone pink tried and too opaque.

Eventually settled for dark blue wash as a filter but it covers differently.

I am not sure if I don't just outright hate the mottling.

Hey you delicious brain trust nerdlings, does any one of you know where to get brown stuff (aluminium putty, polyamide putty) if one wishes to avoid giving money to GSW?

Please retoot if you don't know!

Took a quick break from the Warriors of Minas Tirith today to paint up the next 5 paint challenge. I'm sure you can work out what chapter it will be.

@DrunkOnTea if it's blue and yellow I'm thinking the Swiss Guard in the Vatican

But they have some red in, too

I have been rubbing this lazy bastard's belly for 10 minutes at least. He has been turning on his back further and further presenting the soft soft fur but you can see from his ear what a massive trust fall this must be for him. He loves it

Right. There's been a lot of talk about and it's place here on the fediverse of late.
Whether you're blind, deaf or sighted, I'd be curious to not only have you fill out the relevant choice, but feel free to respond to this with more detail if you like.
Do you make use of, benefit from or even find alt-text useful, whether for images or audio?

erikcats,
@erikcats@warhammer.social avatar

@FreakyFwoof I'm sorry, I'm not sure what to answer. I'm sighted but like reading alt texts for the comments that will be in there now and again.

I'm quite sure that's not 'benefit from' but just tourism of sorts.

Will always try to add alt text for those as needs it, though.

erikcats,
@erikcats@warhammer.social avatar

@FreakyFwoof hahahahaha good point

Yeah I benefit from it if you give it that interpretation.

I think I also benefit from it in another, less direct way

The more people have a good alt text habit, the more people are on here due to accessibility.

erikcats,
@erikcats@warhammer.social avatar

@FreakyFwoof yeah who am I to shut someone less sighted than myself out of my nerdery. Am surprised by how many people with visual impairment show up in the poll, too.

Took my Army of the Dead out to the local wargaming night for a game against Minas Tirith. I'm happy to say my ghosts won 8 victory points to 3.

Ohmygod. Ohmygod. We're in The Sun. We're in the British tabloid. And what is it about? Eating astronauts.

@ZachWeinersmith let me guess: in the scope of your work, cannibalism is just a small bit that your mentioned offhandedly somewhere? Because that would be Sun™
