I've finally released a video I've been meaning to get to for some time, profiling my favourite FLGS in Toronto. It also happens to be Guillermo Del Toro's favourite hobby shop in North America, so might be worth checking out the video about it ;)

I've also shared my full interview with the store owner, Don McCowan, as an exclusive video for YouTube memberships.

On last night's stream, I built my first Hazmat suit Ogryn. The changes I made are pretty minor, but I think they make it look a little less Horus heresy and a little more like a quotidian pressure suit.

The idea for these guys is that they're kind of like the Runtherd equivalents that keep the terminal strains mutants in line. And they're not showing very much GSC mutations at all, but I'll fix that with the fourth one, who's going to be mutating out of his suit.

I've been smashing out more Terminal Strains for the Genestealer Cult of the #OmegaStrain. These are meant to be count-as minis for allied Termagants.

The lore for them is, since my cult has become self aware of the truth of the Tyranid threat to their existence, and they are actively trying to hide from the Hive Mind. This means the Genestealer curse has been running wild in the population for far longer than it was ever meant to, and the mutations caused by it get pretty wild.

It can also result in particularly twisted mutations or developmental dead ends. Never one to waste any resources, the cult sections off these mutants from the rest of their forces in pens where these terminal strains war with each other incessantly, with only the most ferocious coming out on top.

And it's these same ferocious horrors that the Cult will press into service as the rabid vanguard of any assaults on imperial defenders!

I've been having a lot of fun smashing these guys together using mostly poxwalkers. The last shot shows all my recent ones, but the heavy dude with the orlock gun is easily my favourite!

Ok, so #Junestealer has FULLY sunk its claws into me after years of me mostly ignoring it, and things are getting WEIRD!

Driven by the urge to repair my busted Atlan Jackal kitbash, I just kept going with my pins and biker bits and muscle-y torsos, with the goal of making a horrific Wolf Quad.

But then I realized what I was pushing towards was actually a Jackal Alphus, and I couldn't be happier with the direction this monstrosity is headed!

Is this freaky enough for you?

Got some good work done on #TheSecretFather on tonight's stream, and had some excellent discussion besides, but a slight technical hiccup means I needed to take it offline until I can make an edit. It should be posted sometime tomorrow if all works out.

Got the hands and fingers figured out on tonight's stream, and just have to fill in the greenstuff detail on them now.

Any % Tyranid Dominatrix: 35% DONE!
This was accomplished on last Friday's stream, and I totally failed to post. I also didn't math well last time, and apparently this was the 12th part, not the 11th 😆

Did some quick math now that I'm 10 streams in on #DominaNid4, and turns out I've been working on it for roughly 20 hours.

And 1/3 done.

Time to move fast and make minis.
