If there's a silver lining, it's that used Infinity models are actually pretty great.  Easy to strip and start from scratch... unlike used plastic models, which I won't touch.

GW's got the best models out there.  They are generally a delight to paint in a way no other manufacturer can match.


My problem is that, even though I have played one (1) game of Age of Sigmar since 2015, still hold the death of WHFB just a little bit against it, and currently have 3 painted armies for it.. I kinda want to paint another Age of Sigmar army. 😑

"Well, if that's too much, what were you thinking?"  What I'm thinking is I shouldn't even be in this conversation.  I'm so sorry for wasting your time.

They negotiated down to $12k for that common stretch, but good god: if I'm going to spend $11k-$15k that's something I've got to plan like a year out.  Like, holy shit.

I'm not embarrassed but also it was the most embarrassing situation I've been in in a while: I just had no clue the scope of what I was walking in to.


... and wanted to know if we wanted to repave our specific stretch and split the lengthy common stretch.  We could use the work, too, and yes: absolutely our families should share that cost for the common stretch.

We talked with the guys and _holy shit_ I had no idea how much it would cost.  I'd thought we were talking resealing (which is like $1k - hardly chump change).  They were talking $5k for our part of the driveway and $20k for the common stretch...


We live down a pipestem: that is, a long driveway that forks into our specific driveway and our neighbor's specific driveway.  It's nice to be removed from the street a bit, but fucking _sucks_ when it snows because its on us to shovel the whole thing.

Anyway, it's been a decade since both of our households moved in, and the asphalt (especially my neighbors') is in rough shape, so they've got some folks ripping it up and repaving...

Looking ahead, beyond those models in flight: a little tough to say for sure.  Since 2020 I've been very, very into following my bliss when it comes to painting projects: I want to be able to paint what I feel like painting when I feel like painting it.


September was a ridiculously productive month: I painted 4 Underworlds warbands (and knocked out lingering models for 2 more), a Warcry warband, and a 7TV starter pack.

This feels even more productive because this was a no new minis month, so ALL of that was backlog shrinking.

I've got another Warcry and Underworlds warband in flight, but I don't think I'm likely to finish them before Sunday.

nostr:npub1ckllajkecdq65u5hh0xlms2nk9y4qnkm0yj73cdmp65wd0dfw74qhrg0ka I roll a 14, 8, and 5.  You roll a 6.  My 14 fails. My 8 is higher than your 6, it’s a hit! My 5 is lower than your 6, so even though it’s a successful result, you dodge it.

A million variations: critical success when you hit the target exactly, automatic successes when your target is >20, etc, but it’s fundamentally a very simple system.


nostr:npub1ckllajkecdq65u5hh0xlms2nk9y4qnkm0yj73cdmp65wd0dfw74qhrg0ka for Infinity, it’s stats + mods.  So my heroic Nomad Alguacile will shoot, with a BS of 11, will shoot at your perfidious PanO Fusilier, who will dodge with a PH of 10.  I’m in good range (+3 to me) but you’re in cover (-3 to me)… but I’m behind you (-3 to you), so all said and done I’m rolling for an 11 (but not higher!) and you’re looking for a 7 (but not higher!) on d20s. I’m Burst 3, so I’m rolling 3 dice and you’re rolling 1.

-Infinity’s face-to-face roll - flawless way of handling contested roll.  I have a target #, you have a target #, we both roll and whoever got the highest roll without going over that target wins the roll.

- Bolt Actions’s activation mechanic - we have a bag and put a token (or die) for each player for each unit they have. Blind draw, whoever gets a token activates a unit.

I'm using Vallejo Fluorescents here, but they're not the only ones out there (maybe the only ones targeted to hobby, though).

They're actually a little challenging to use: their coverage is _terrible_, and it can be very difficult to control them because their consistency is more like phlegm than paint 🤢.  Despite that, they're bright and vibrant, and it's fun to put them under a black light!

Opinions needed!  I have some GHOULS to paint: do I paint them greenie-fleshed or ivory-fleshed?

nostr:npub1cr5l3svgedrgmwvdazg430z4sqdd0ra5cfgnuch0kv39f48zct0qfjt0tk Right on.  I dropped it for good just a couple days ago, myself.  It was always a sewer, but now it's nothing but a _Nazi_ sewer.

Sometimes it feels like there are two hobby communities: one that gets everything early (and free) and everyone else, who get things after everyone's moved on to be excited about something else (and has to pay for it).

I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does; timing of access more than the freebies.  GW's really dialed in a hobby churn and wow does the early access stuff amp up the FOMO.

(Or if you want to be older school: the actual url is https://www.warpstonepile.com/ and its RSS feed is https://www.warpstonepile.com/feed/ .  Much love to the fediverse, but you can pry my RSS reader from my cold, dead hands.)


If anyone is interested, WarpstonePile, my hobby blog of 14(!) years is now in the Fediverse.  You can follow me on it at rush@www.warpstonepile.com .

I started it on Blogger during the big hobby blog boom in 2009, and moved it to WordPress as a response to Google killing off Google Reader in 2013.  My activity there dried up a little bit, but disconnecting from most socials has been good motivation to keep posting there.

I also knocked out a Knight Incantor in the same batch (but in looking at these photos noticed I missed the straps holding his vials 😫, so not _quite_ done).

Need to decide if I’m going to paint the magic lantern electric blue or magenta.
