Euphonium is such a funny name for a musical instrument. Yeah I invented the Goodsounder, and I called it that because it sounds good, not like *gestures to rest of orchestra* these shitbags

#BandcampFriday pickups Argul - Soledad y Orgullo Peruvian doom metal, my first Spanish language doom purchase. Plaindrifter - Echo Therapy Already had Gestalt, needed more from this heavy psych artist Polyphia - The Most Hated Instrumental prog in the vein of Satriani Funkestra - Dr. Hypenstein Funky jazz, very retro sounding Bone Church - Bone Church The only album I had left to buy from these stoner rock gods Glórach - 2026 Four 7+ minute songs about weed, stoner doom at its best Weedian - Best Releases of September 2026 I owe my knowledge of half of the above to this anthologist, figured I'd throw him a few bucks today. Plus this month's cover art is Hank Hill smoking and listening to Master of Reality, can't beat that

Happy 4th everyone

And a group shot of half the combat patrol, now finished.

Lightbox came in and I'm a lot happier with these pics. Feel like the details are more visible and the focus is better because it isn't fighting with the paint bottles behind it

LGS had a buy 2 get 1 special today for their 13th birthday. Picked up a razorwing jet, a squad of incubi, and a Tau broadside, as well as a bunch of paints and washes.

Me and the boys on Saturday night, featuring :souls_v: :souls_o: :souls_i: :souls_d: :souls_g: :souls_r: :souls_a: :souls_s: :souls_s:

Genuinely considering getting a cheap ring light from Walmart just for this

Does anyone have the chart with like artistic execution and artistic perception trading places as both climb? Because I feel like I'm in that zone where I perceive how much better I could be but can't execute on it. Watching youtube videos and getting pumped up about techniques and then feeling stuck on the actual in-progress work

Anyway, I'm about 75% done with the Talos but I also assembled the razorwing and did like 15% of the painting (stuff that would be harder/impossible to paint when fully assembled). It's going to have a different color scheme, the one I plan to use for Kabalite warriors when I eventually get some of those. Dark eldar raiding parties include multiple factions because the kabals, wych cults, Haemonculus covens, and incubus shrines are non-overlapping parts of society, so I plan to have different colors for each (that should hopefully look good together) because I am that kind of sicko.

And the Acothyst, which I really felt was done injustice in the previous shot

@triz@normal.style not a rumpustein w/shlurp™️ and a shiddy's slammer?

More wracks! Going back to one per photo, so lots of them incoming. I think I'm going to paint the remaining ones in pairs. I did three this time and I felt like I was racing the paint drying in the palette on the third one.

@Louisa@mastodon.xyz @signalstation@raggedfeathers.com and he strikes Like CrittttterrrrrrBAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

I think I need to put the Warhammer away for a little while. I just don't have the motivation or energy for it right now, due to the aforementioned skill/perception gap and, y'know, constant pain from ongoing health crisis. Been feeling vaguely guilty about diving into this new project instead of doing anything with my gunpla backlog anyway, so I think I'll switch to that until after I get home from surgery. Requires less focus and is easier to see progress even if I don't get after it for very long so I think it's something I should do

@crimson_clouds23@normal.style that's why he uses the diapers, to avoid such possibilities

@SapphicGiraffic this is why the laser battleships are so important. My career commanding lances of battlemechs has taught me that laser builds are ideal for extended operations without logistical support, plus you don't have to worry about ammo explosions. And heat sinks are twice as effective when submerged so there's that too

@NaejDoree @hannah finally a context in which Margie is not the tiniest cat

@sugar I'm sure I'm projecting but the duck looks so dubious

@peterb@mathstodon.xyz my town's librarian was just like "here's a cool educational game, here's a Xerox of the copy protection page from the manual"

@pilum @Taweret I don't think making it the piss planet (urine-us) is that much of an upgrade. Of course Futurama nailed this one, like so many things. "it was renamed in the 23rd century to stop people from making stupid jokes about it." "what's it called now?" "urectum."

@pigworker@types.pl slupper is when you have sloppy steaks for supper

@Sindemore@monads.online I'm doing a bit with each already. I haven't really found the sweet spot between "just painting really sloppy" and "no discernible effect whatsoever" for drybrushing tho

@Sindemore@monads.online and I've had a decent bit of luck with glazing. On the wracks I painted the skin, painted the pink lines for surgical scars/wounds, and then glazed with another layer of the skin base color to soften them and make them look healed over. I've also got a few different washes for texture but I haven't been super confident in deploying them yet. The big success I've had with those is the exposed bone but I haven't really tried with skin or armor (though the armor is so dark I'm not sure it would accomplish anything)

But anyway, the thing that has me frustrated and anxious to level up was a youtube about priming with an airbrush in multiple shades from different angles to get lighting laid down on the model before you even put color on it. This seems like a really awesome technique that I am unable to do anything with because I don't have an airbrush and haven't used one since high school anyway, so I doubt I could even get much of anywhere with one. But my friend who's doing this with me does have an airbrush, so I hope to visit him maybe this weekend and get some practice with his before buying one myself (sometime down the road when I have discretionary income, or any income for that matter, again)

@RachelThornSub@famichiki.jp @Taweret@timeloop.cafe and the other 5% have actually gotten this reply

@minterpunct@gamemaking.social yes, not because he's just in space, but because he's in space and he goes to the bathroom in his suit

@Thomas yeah the register line went halfway around the perimeter of the store, it was hopping in there And I was there about an hour after opening and there was already a dent in inventory, both of the battleforces I had been 👀 ing at were gone, which is a good thing

@vapaad I ended up ordering a light box because it was a bit cheaper (20 rather than 35) and is actually the correct tool for the job

@thegarbagebird the dark eldar became biologically incapable of producing large adult sons millennia ago, and now they must be manufactured

Cmon y'all I need you to do the supreme act of political praxis and VOTE

@jackdaw_ruiz@normal.style @snowyfox@deadinsi.de terran hortibleness

@senj@surf.cyberspace.club @QuakerWanker@laserdisc.party also three of the four highways bounding that chunk are toll roads, so I hope you like paying more to make that drive than you'd spend on a transit day pass

@4caddit I can't believe they put extra music in the CD that you couldn't hear normally

@infernusgoatus@kvlt.zone @jackdaw_ruiz@normal.style they're all standing just outside the context window

@moonrabbit@sunny.garden I didn't know we had anyone from the mushroom kingdom on here

@sugar native or Japanese?

@Eggfreckles@mastodon.mit.edu what cat

@Thomas I do not need another hundred minis and I also do not need to spend five hundred dollars, so it's for the best

@bcj@friend.camp @aparrish@friend.camp as long as no human has to put up with him this is a net win for humanity BTW I seem to recall that at some point back in the 80s or 90s he was married to a former doctor who actor?

@cinebox@masto.hackers.town odo wants a high five but I am going to leave him hanging
