I’ve managed to go about 4 years or so without crushing one of my fingers. The last time was pretty bad: a group of friends were piling into a minibus/large taxi to go to a gig, and my girlfriend decided to slam the sliding door shut onto my hand. It was pretty unpleasant.

The nail blackened just like yours, but didn’t pop off immediately. For a month or so it sort of dried out and went yellow, then one day it peeled off to reveal a healthy new one underneath.

So good luck with that, mate.

Tried to make industrial lubricants funny, hence PlungeButter

Old metal models were so… so charmingly stunty. Especially with terminator armour. I love how glowy the powersword looks

I’m finally finishing the resplendent Magnus the Red, who I picked up in the Court of the Crimson King battleforce box in December. Just a couple of pieces of armour to paint, plus his glaive.

And I’ve found a use for the Librarian from the Leviathan box. I’ve drilled out his eyes and mouth, and I’m going to mostly douse him in bright blue and pink contrast paints to represent Magnus’s Tzeentchy magic.

The leftover parts from the librarian are going into this sorcerer in terminator armour. He’s my first real attempt at kitbashing, complete with an inferno combi-weapon (a bolt pistol and warpflame pistol chopped up and mashed together) and greenstuff cape.

Thanks! I mostly lurked on reddit for many years (as a Digg refugee), and I want to try and get out of that rut and actually contribute some content here. Wish me luck!
