4. I stopped at the grocery store for a couple things and came home. I'll nom and paint for a bit. #Battletech #Warhammer #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

3. I didn't stop for lunch in between, as planned. I dropped in to say hi to Bryan and pick up a couple of his Battletech books. Since it was an intro event and there was enough interest to keep the tables busy, I didn't horn in on a table to play. #Battletech #Warhammer #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

2. If they weren't on the opposite end of the county from me (gas prices suck), I woulda bailed and came back later in the week to order the exclusive. Got out of there late enough that the #Battletech thing had already started. #Warhammer #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

1. The line for the freebies at the #Warhammer store anniversary event went pretty fast and I got my freebies. The line to order the exclusive and/or buy anything went slow AF. #Battletech #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Added nicknames to things coming to me via USPS: Dystopian Comic, Ammo Can, Socialist Music... Yup. I'm on a list. LOL! #Humor #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

If any local (Salt Lake City) friends have an old metal ammo can that they might wanna unload, lemme know. I would like one for a non-ammo based project. Thanks! #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

My Greatest Gen grandpa used to tell GenX me that I'd get more conservative with age. Nope, I've gone further Left. At first, it was just society going Right without me. Now, I'm moving Left on my own. Still got some to go to catch my Leftist Boomer Mom, though. #Politics #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo collage of the front and back of a flaming bottle pin made from mini perler beads.

Completed with plasticard reinforcement and a pin back. #Perler #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a burning bottle made from mini perler beads alongside a US quarter for size scale.

Made a quick design while on my break at the day job. Be the light you wish to see in the world. #Perler #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a bunch of Battletech mechs tipped over with the bottoms of their bases showing, containing both magnets and labels.

Since I straight up suck at being able to visually ID #Battletech mechs, I have labeled the poor things. Damned good thing that I have small handwriting and Tamiya 6mm masking tape. #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a Battletech game mat covered in terrain and minis.

Had fun getting my butt kicked for five hours. I have the naked mechs. They will be painted after I'm done with the GW challenge. I'm responsible for the water feature. Yes, I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy. #Battletech #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged front and back photos of an Adepta Sororitas squad painted in purples, blacks, and white on a grey pebbly base.

Completed my first Adepta Sororitas squad. My baseing experiment failed. So, hand made clay pebbles it is. I love the fact that I have a purple metallic that goes with the rest of my purples. What do you think of my paint scheme? 70/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

A shelfie of 7 various Egyptology books.

With the arrival of today's free book, Egyptian Magic, I have quite the collection of Budge's #Egyptology classics. #Occult #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

There has been construction on the main street by my house for awhile, but they've been digging for utility lines the last bit. The power flickers are driving me batty. Yes, I have a UPS on my computer. Still annoying when everything else goes out. #WFHLife #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Despite hitting the cheapest gas/petrol station in the city and using points to knock 40 cents off per gallon, it cost me nearly $50 to fill my car. I never let it get below a quarter tank. So that wasn't even my full tank. Fuck you very much, Shitler. #Politics #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a partially painted Adepta Sororitas squad in purples, black, and white standing atop blue tack dots on bottle caps.

I popped the Sisters off their bases to try something new, once the parts are here. It involves a heat gun. Also, Vallejo True Metallic Amethyst makes for some cool armor highlights against the dark, Colour Forge Royal Purple. 59/100 #WIP #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a partially painted squad of Sisters of Battle painted in a black and dark purple base with purple cloaks and white designs on their helmets.

Started in on my Adepta Sororitas. It's my only army that's not part of the Combat Patrol subscription. Nuns with guns. When turning in my Space Marines and Knight at the GW store, I got loads of compliments. Definite mood booster. 59/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of 2 six sided dice; one is bone color Sisters of Battle themed and one is crystal blue colored Aeldari Corsairs themed.

My dice can fight each other while chilling out in their storage box. I loved the blue gem color and couldn't pass it up. Sadly, the new Custodes sold out before I could get my pre-order in though. #Warhammer40K #DiceGoblin #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of a Wargaming accessories storage box with partitions and removable dice tray.

All hand cut & assembled at my hobby desk, with only a minor blood sacrifice. The guts of the gaming accessories box are done. It's not fancy, but it does the job. Now, I just need wargaming stickers (any, not just #Warhammer40K ones) to cover the inside of the lid with. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of a WWII 50lbs practice bomb that has been painted yellow as well as covered in graffiti and stickers.

Thieve's Guild Cidery has taken its place alongside the brewery and game store stickers on my WWII practice bomb. #CraftBeer #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of an open box with hand cut wood slatting fitted inside.

Collaged photos of a stained wooden box with hand burned and painted Warhammer 40K designs and quotes from across factions.

Dry fitting felt & guts for the cool wooden #Warhammer40K accessories (tape measure, tokens, dice, etc.) box my friends made and sent to me from Texas. The right side will be permanent. The left will be a removable dice tray. The gap between is for pencils. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos; one of a pasty and chai, one of a copy of Museum Bums - A Cheeky Look at Butts in Art

An egg and veggie pasty, dirty chai, and a little light reading while I wait for my car to get some much needed love. Subies will last nearly forever if you take care of them. #ArtHistory #Butts #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a folding table covered in a lot of miniatures that are partially primed in black.

Beautiful day for some outdoor mass priming. It's the Nuns With Guns' turn. 59/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a miniature base full of fiddly bits like skulls, ammo shells, rocks, and cabling; painted in reddish brown, great, dark ivory, gunmetal, and black.

When the base is almost as fussy as the rest of the miniature... and it was a hella fussy miniature. 59/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of the front and back of a painted Chief Librarian Tigurius mini.

My Space Marine minis are now all done. I locked in on this dude and lost track of time tonight. Good thing I don't work tomorrow. 59/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

A painting desk covered in telescope parts and assembly instructions.

My 20 years with my company gift has arrived. Thus, my hobby desk has exploded in telescope parts. Yes, I have the old. #Astronony #DailyLife #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a Really Useful Box full of unpainted Adepta Sororitas.

After I'm done with my last Space Marine; it is time to dig in on my largest army (and longest owned), Adepta Sororitas. I've been hugely intimidated by them and need to get over myself. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a miniature, painting handle, and gloves hand covered in two shades of blue.

Cheap food prep gloves are your friends when rattle can priming a single mini. My last Space Marine to paint. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of a Knight Armigar painted in bright blue, magenta, pink, and black with teal metallic dry brush over some of the black areas standing upon a bright blue and black base with florescent pink and purple tufts.

Biggest mini of the challenge done so far. One Synthwave Knight. 58/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a blue, magenta, and black Knight Armigar on a blue and black base with florescent pink and purple grass tufts.

More progress on the synthwave Knight. 57/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
