Collaged photos of a Space Marine painted in teal, blue, pink, and purple; wielding a bright orange chain sword and on a pink and purple base.

Cotton Candy Titus. As requested, I went ham with the colors. 56/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Thanks!

Today is my 20th work anniversary at my current employer. The prize book they give is almost entirely stuff I either already own or stuff I have zero desire to own. One thing stood out, though. I am now the proud owner of a new telescope. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of a Lt. Titus mini painted in green, grey, black, and gold on a Mars red base.

Since I have 2 Lt. Tituses (Titii), I opted to paint one to match my Hellbenders army. I will go ham on the colors on the second one. I didn't shave off the Ultramarines logos on the off chance I wanna repaint him as a blueberry. 55/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

It is the base coat that does it too. Some of it is how cheap these brushes are and some is me still learning how to paint.

So, I'm 54 minis into this challenge. I figured I'd use my old, cheap brushes & bin them at the end of it. So far, I've killed 7. I've had everything from bristles falling out to "metal" ferals snapping. I may kill them all before I'm done. #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Dear body,

I get that I qualify for AARP. I don't need the "wake up every day at dawn" reminder of my age though. Let me sleep in.

No love,
Me

Collaged photos of a Space Marine painted in blue grey and yellow standing atop a dirt brown base.

Space Wolf Blood Claw free mini of the month. 54/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Reminder to self... when priming one mini quickly outside, wear a damned glove. You do not need to prime your own fingers. LOL! #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Selfie of a person who is standing in front of herb and ritual supplies storage; wearing a hoodie with English witch woodblock art on it surrounded by the words "Grumpy Old Crone" and "Unashamedly Opinionated"

Got a lil something fun in the mail. If you are interested in opinionated #WitchyShit, go check out Grumpy Old Crone. Great YouTube and other socials. You might get a side order of #Filk and #TTRPG too. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of a Deathwatch Space Marine painted in primarily blacks, greys, and silvers on a grey rock strewn base.

Deathwatch free mini of the month. Among my Games Workshop one offs that I am clearing through as part of the challenge. 53/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of two Space Marine minis, one with helmet on and one without helmet, flanking "Sounds gay, I'm in."

I have two Lt. Tituses (Titii?). Got one in a book and one from a FLGS that threw me a yoooge discount. Should I paint them to match my Hellbenders, like an Ultramarine, or go full ham with weird colors? 52/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of the side and top of a Primaris Chaplain on Bike painted in black, gold, and silver on a Mars red base.

Completed Primaris Chaplain on Bike. I totally shoulda done him in sub assembly, but I got it to work. 52/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Absolutely. 100%

Photo of a primed, but unpainted Primaris Chaplain on Bike sitting atop a painted base in Mars reds. Speech bubble says, "Sounds Gay, I'm in."

This weekend's project. Cramming hobby time in between shaking my fist at the regime. If you're surprised that I am also #political, look at the last hashtag. My mere existence is political. 51/100 #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #GeekCrafts #ChaoticQueer

Is Baron Harkonnen gonna call this one a "police action" to get around that pesky requirement for Congress to declare war? All because a Human shaped turd wants a legacy. I hope that the peoples of the Near East get out of this as safely as possible. #EatTheRich #Politics #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Collaged photos of Perturabo and Aleister Crowley.

Totally #RandomThought... did ya know that Perdurabo was Crowley's Magickal name/motto in the Order of the Golden Dawn? It means "I shall endure till the end." Appropriate of GW to use it (with a slight spelling change) for the Iron Warriors Primarch. #Occult #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Screen grab from a movie showing a man on the ground firing a handgun up at a robot.

GW recalls Warhammer 40k Maelstrom box sets after it forgot to put all the models in Fans are reporting recall notices for the Maelstrom Battalion: Drukhari box set, and game stores with early copies say it's missing a whole squad.

Oops. LOL! #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40...

Front and back photos of a Captain in Terminator Armor and a Company Champion Space Marine minis painted in predominantly green, grey, black, and gold standing on Mars red bases.

One Captain in Terminator Armor and one Company Champion done for my Hellbenders. Hella fiddly, there are 21 paints on the Captain. I'll do decals and stamps once the whole Combat Patrol is done. 50/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #MillionMiniaturesChallenge #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a Space Marine Captain in Terminator Armor held alongside a roll of blue painters tape. His tilt shields are painted in a green and gold checkerboard.

Household painters tape for straight lines. Should probably get something better designed for these teeny bits, but it worked in a pinch. 48/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

I had a bit of a shitter of a week, but yesterday was good. Spent time at the hobby desk #MiniaturePainting my #Warhammer40K & chatting on Discord with fellow hobbyists. Then I got together with my #DnD group to #DM them through a particularly fighty part of the adventure. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Photo of a partially painted Space Marine Captain in Terminator Armor, painted grey and green and black and gold. There is a speech bubble sticker attached to the paint station behind him that says "Sounds gay, I'm in".

I worked on this fella some last night and today. 48/100 #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts #SpeechBubble

It's pissing winter all over my house again. This time, I got out ahead of it and put down a shit ton of fed repellent. Hopefully none of the piss sticks to my sidewalks and driveway. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

Screen grab from Facebook showing Kid Rock in a hot tub with the words superimposed "Name that band! A. Rage Against the Vaccine B. Mumps(ford) & Sons C. Septic & Garfungal D. 30sec to SARS" Source is the Salt Lake County Health Department and their text reads"Health is built in fitness centers and lunchrooms, yes, and also in vaccines"

Just posted by my local county health department. LOL!!

Figured I'd get a screen grab before our state churchislature forces a takedown. #Politics #Humor #BrainWormAndCrackRockTotallyNotGay #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

After a full work day, I shoveled several inches of heavy, wet snow from my driveway & sidewalks. I also laid down enough de-icer to scare the feds off. The snow that came down after I finished didn't stick, as a result. No second round of shoveling. Yay! #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

photo of a backyard covered in snow with more coming down.

Looks like winter has finally decided to arrive in the Rockies. The skiers will be happy. I'm just excited to be able to shower this summer. Our seasons are way outta whack. #ClimateChange #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

3. We've got some cool new gear and the government trackers are on a slow boat to China. Nothing like a little cheesy fun to help with the mundane worries. #LARP #MiniaturePainting #TTRPG #V5 #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
