I got a wire mesh strainer for sifting my mini sand. It was like, $2.

See, that's how it started. Because I also got a handfull of "dirt" from the fossil park, when I sifted it through my strainer, I found that there were a bunch of small cool fossils, and decided I needed to be able to sort fossils of different sizes.

Could be worse, I haven't spent $110 on a really nice set of gold sifters yet.

Well that's good. I once had a few slightly (to the point they were being thrown out) worn grading sieves that were used for glass microbeads. No idea where I put those.

I like to imagine Nagash is really pissed he isn't allowed a skull throne because it infringes on Khorne's intellectual property

He's allowed a skull floor, as long as the floor remains flat and does not become mounds of skulls

"You are, of course, permitted to have mounds of bone. That's not a violation so long as it's A) not a throne, b) not made of skulls, and c) does not have an alliterative name. So a 'Nagash's Shin Recliner' is fine, but 'Nagash's Ossuary Ottoman' is not."


... For the first time in a decade, I'm really tempted to get a GW figure. I kinda really want to buy a Nagash.

Why would he ever sit ffs he's an immortal skeleton king (also it's weird he's held onto notions of gender this long) he should always be ranting and plotting no downtime for ol' Nagash.

I bit the bullet and I bought a Nagash.

Also some Sepulchral Guard because I found a box for $21.25 and it's hard to beat $3.04/model for seven unique skeletons.


Edit: Content! I searched Etsy for 'pro painted miniatures' and found three winning smiles!




And also this thing by the same painter. I think there's a Hook Horror under there.

No, some people are quite terrible at both. That Nagash paintjob is still better than what 99% of painters can output even if it hasn't reached the glorious heights of Sugden's Rainbow Daemons.

The only problem it's got is that it's caught a case of Blanchitsuitis which may not to be everyone's taste.

I'm struggling to guage scale. Are those 40k ruins or Epic scaled? Because if that thing is as a big as I think, how thick is that flight stand?

Impressive that they managed to paint it badly enough to make it look like epic scale. How do you fail at painting the edge of the base black when it's half an inch thick?

It would have worked if the rest of the figure was posed to support it! But yeah they managed to make a land raider appear weightless.

Better would have been a giant gob-bot swinging the land raider like a fanatic.
