Another GSC character! Making quick progess on these guys, contrast really is a lifesaver for getting out decent quality models quickly. I'm up to 10 neophytes in 2 days, could do it in one if I had a better chair. Anyway, definitely my favourite gsc lone operative model!

Some neophytes from my GSC! The paint scheme is all contrast to keep it quick and simple, but to paint the armor I stole a method where you prime white, brown shade, and then drybrush another stark white. It gets that grubby white mining suit look perfectly, and enhances the contrast paint by helping the recesses stay dark and the edges stay lighter! If you use contrast, it's a technique you should try!

Started a slow grow with my friends awhile back, I actually painted a lot of DG for it, but swapped to the cults at the last minute! I love the detail and character of the DG, but in terms of gameplay style I've always loved highly mobile glass cannons the best in any setting. The Genestealer cults are that perfectly. So, here are two of my characters!

My Emperor has more arms than yours, loser!

Star Trek makes me soooo crazy cuz you got Picard saying things like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."

And Data saying things like "I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant that I could taste my dessert."

And Bashir saying things like “You can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."

And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."

And I’m just supposed to be normal about it???

POV: you're about to have the shit kicked out of you

endlessly stopping myself to ask "are you behaving like your father? are you behaving in a way that would make your younger self afraid? is this anger constructive? are you working toward solutions that are not centered around immediate relief? are you engaging in recklessness or negligence? are your reactions to anger justifiable to the level of anger you're experiencing?"

My Bloated Worm Bloat Drone! It's the Dark Imperium one. Finally painted after a thousand years. Probably the hardest plague marine model to paint! I've recently embraced battle ready for a slow grow and finally curbed my perfectionism, but despite that, he just has so many nooks and crannies! So much litte detail that's just big enough it can't be skipped. As always, the finished product makes it worth it. Extra pic of the base, proud of that too.

Hellsing Ultimate (2006-2012)

[strigone]

I really enjoy this blog so much. Gimme your most favorite batshit auspolitics moment from the 2000s to 2010s. please. i am morbidly curious.

2007: The APEC conference, where all global leaders converge in one city to pretend like they're doing things, is to be held in Sydney, Australia. With the war on terror in full swing, security is at a maximum, and large swathes of the city are placed behind a giant multi-layered steel fence to keep the world leaders far away from the unwashed masses.

Attempting to ward off trouble, organisers of the conference hold a meeting with notorious political comedy prank group "The Chaser", to tell them they are, under absolutely no circumstances getting anywhere near any world leaders, and to not even bother trying.

"The whole perimeter is secure," security forces told them sternly. "The only thing getting through that fence is a motorcade."

24 hours later The Chaser were on their way towards the fence with a motorcade.

Now a few things should have tipped off security guards that this fake Canadian motorcade was not a the real deal. Number one: Canada wasn't at the conference, number two: no country has actually had security running alongside cars since the 60s, and three: most security guards don't carry video cameras with them or passes that read "this is fake".

Nevertheless the ruse was more successful than anyone had anticipated, and The Chaser team were happily waved into the most secure area on planet earth by police, who informed the incognito comedians that "the road is yours."

Reaching the outside of George Bush's hotel, the pranksters now began to worry that they were never going to be stopped by police and decided to get out of the car and walk back to the fence.

While dressed as Osama Bin Laden.

At this point all hell broke loose. Snipers were locked on. Confused police scrambled, and immediately arrested the whole group, only breathing a sigh of relief when they saw the words "Chaser" on the fake security passes.

Bizarrely the police opted to give a full escort to the guy dressed in a suit, and allowed the other man cosplaying as the world's most wanted terrorist to just casually walk out on his own before booking him at the perimeter.

The Chaser team said that while being put in a cell overnight wasn't fun, they were less stressed after police started visiting to ask for photos and signatures.

The prank group were later hauled before the courts and threatened with a massive fine, but the case was eventually dropped after they successfully argued that it's not technically breaking-in if the cops happily wave you into a high security zone.

Needless to say they have changed that law for future APECs.

Making light of the situation, the prank group also returned to the site a few days later dressed as carboard cars, to see just how flimsy a disguise could get past police.

This time at least, they were not let in.
