I was waiting until I did oils on the weapons before photographing them, but the lightbox was out so I went ahead. These are for Mobile Arms and the magnetic swapping system on these guys is :chef kiss:

Oh, and also wrapped the Brethren of the Bolt for . I’m weirdly very frustrated by them but they’re done and I’m on to the next.

Pater Filius

And next, the Ito half. It’s been a while since I painted this green: I’d forgotten how much I love a vibrant green.

Tonight I went back to hunting not lines and fixing gaps. I used both my sprue goo and some milliput, so I can compare. They're both sitting but I'm different ways. The goo was leaving threads of plastic (I think it was too thick), and was very hard to guide.
Milliput was too sticky and I had to prepare way too much for my usage, it was also starting to dry. I still preferred it. I added some solvent to the goo, see how it goes next time.

@Moah key to my use of sprue goo is to go back with the clean cement brush, loaded with cement, to help spread and smooth it out and put it where I want.

I love how the new warhammer.com website can remember I'm authenticated... but not my region. Every. fucking. time. I gotta go in and set that. Bonkers.

There's a Terry Pratchett HumbleBundle up and, I gotta tell you: stay the hell away from it.

These things are normally truly excellent deals: all you have to do is drop less than the cost of 2 books, struggle with HB's crappy bulk download tool, plug your kindle into a PC to drag them overand you're set for months. The Battletech and Black Library bundles I've done have been just so very, very good.

So this should be a no-brainer, right? Very wrong, apparently.

This has been the highest friction media purchase I have ever engaged with? Certainly in the last decade.

  1. Purchase Bundle
  2. Go to library
  3. No downloads, just a key (weird, but OK)
  4. Go to Kobo site.
  5. Register on Kobo site.
  6. Select each of 38 books individually.
  7. Enter key
  8. Complete Purchase.
  9. Navigate to Account/Books.
  10. Try to download books, fail.
  11. Download sketchy Adobe tool
  12. Install sketchy Adobe tool.
  13. Create Adobe account*
  14. Log in with it in the tool.

  1. Go back to Kobo.
  2. On each of 38 books, click "...", "Download", then "Download Book"
  3. Get 1-2 files for each book. 1 will throw an error, the other won't.
  4. Drag the one that won't throw an error into the sketchy Adobe tool.
  5. Do this 37 more times.
  6. Adobe tool has generated ePubs. Find them.
  7. Now open Calibre**
  8. Import those ePubs into Calibre.
  9. Plug your Kindle in.
  10. Have Calibre convert those files to Mobi and send them to your Kindle.

I would call this online transaction "actively hostile." Deeply awful. I'm clearly pretty angry about it.

  • That's right: you need 3 accounts to purchase this thing: a HumbleBundle account, a clownshow Kobo account, and Christ help us an Adobe account.

** You also need 2 intermediate Windows applications to get these books: ADE to get the ePub and (otherwise very useful) Calibre to convert it to mobi. If you don't have a PC: just get fucked, I guess?

So yeah, Politico's European edition has actually published a piece with the headline "Fighting against the USSR didn’t necessarily make you a Nazi". In it, the author argues that the literal SS, the Nazi party's private army and police organization, wasn't that bad.

You talk about normalizing fascism, well, this is sure as hell a milestone.

For what it's worth, I'm a historian specializing in the 20th century. One of my relatives served in the Waffen-SS. https://www.politico.eu/article/fight-against-ussr-nazi-waffen-ss-trooper-yaroslav-hunka-world-war-ii-soviet-union-germany/

@mhalila That's a yikes from me. 😬

Bolt Action is a great game, but I stopped playing it in 2016 because my ability to simply be around wehraboos who'd spout tepid shit like this evaporated.

If I had a nickle every time I heard someone in that scene try to justify such-and-such group not actually being Nazis, the bad ones at least, I'd have VERY disconcertingly large pile of nickels.

@Illuminatus @mhalila I've heard the theory (totally unable to source this, but it very much passes the sniff test) that so much of our contemporary understanding of WWII has been filtered/tainted by overreliance on narratives & histories written by the Nazis. That, thanks to Operation Paperclip, history was written by the losers.

@Chris_ni Looks great! That's a great, rich purple.

Unpainted these for Lunar. I’ve got a plan.

Me: “I’ll highlight these fine Xenos pirates types with white”

My tub of Scar White: “Good luck with that. I am cement, I am water, I am liquid cement, I am chaos”

First person to say Corax white is the real liquid cement is getting schooled about how it’s actually just cement.

@rollleafd Please, please: if you want to work with pure white, get some titanium white acrylic ink. I cannot recommend it enough.
