He/Him, lefty, boardgames, tabletop gamer, #terrain maker, 3d printing stuff, occasional #minis painter. Luddite re: plagiarism machines

Two #Escher Necromunda minis (from the 2017ish era) painted up to give scale to the center piece, a 3d printed pair of generic tanks with a gothic altar computer station. It's an unpainted grey scatter terrain piece for #Necromunda. The print comes from this cool free pack https://www.printables.com/model/1640141-storage-tanks The piece was printed on my Elegoo Centauri Carbon, 0.4 nozzle, 0.12 layerheight with some adaptive settings on to make the rounder bits nicer. It took 1.5 hours to print and only used 24g of PLA+ filament since it's hollow inside.
A square and circle overlapping pattern created from Draw.io.
An example of an encounter in Another Door. Each player has some skeletal portrait at the bottom showing their life total, max and any items or effects they have. The creep Animal Binder event has two options. Left Option: Poisoned Blade, if 2 or 4 of you choose this chard, receive 2 poison. Right Option: Kingmaker, if 1 or 3 of you choose this card, receive 2 poison. So if everyone in a 4p game picks the right option, everyone is safe! But if everyone BUT you picks the right option, then you're safe, and everyone else gets hurt. And if two people choose to backstab the group? Welp, they get the damage instead, and the people choosing the 'good for the group' option are safe...
A topdown view of a Necromunda board made from foamcore, pringles cans and granny grating mostly. Maybe a third of it is actually painted. All on a 4'x4' unpainted plywood sheet.
Two gothic booster boxes of #Sorcery Contested Realm. One is open, one is closed. The open one shows a "gold" silk 3d printed insert with cards in the slots. In front is a grey insert that is 3% too big. Each takes 100g of filament ($1-$2) and two hours to print.

A closeup of a potted plant, indoors. Two ginger roots can be seen on the left side, both of which have the green plants growing out of them. A new shoot is coming out of the dirt on the right.
A purple hexagonal boardgame table with a velvet cloth cover, with a dyson vacuum and a sticky lint roller on it. The table has tracks on it from where the sticky roller rolled over it. Some hobby and terrain stuff can be seen in the background.
A very narrow and tall picture of my family room with a ginger plant in a small pot maybe 1 foot off of the ground. The plant has one long stalk with 12 inch leaves coming off if it to the sides. It's almost touching the ceiling

A box for a Kohler brand toilet named Calidus on a Costco shelf. The joke is that in wh40k there are Callidus Assassins. That's it, that's the joke.

A power card, Guide the Way on Feathered Wings, from the game Spirit Island. It basically lets you move a beast token to move Dahan (natives) tokens around on the board. Those natives will fight invaders, so this lets you easily move them around with some beast backup that sometimes does cool stuff on event cards.
A dungeon setup on a white coffee table. It's mostly gray gothic blocks, with skme brown fieldstone blocks. It's all plaster cast from Hirst Arts.

A tan cat can be seen in the upper left.
The same setup as the quoted image, except zoomed out to show that the photo booth is inside a kallax cube. You can see the edges of each other adjacent cube around it, which all have random hobby stuff like minis or cards.

Two bottles of Future Floor Polish with different brandings (pledge floor care) on a kallax shelf with a bunch of cheap acrylic paints around them. It's basically a cheap gloss coat with some flow improver, flower scent and who knows what else. It's an old modelers trick product.

Ten #gamesworkshop #ageofsigmar #citiesofsigmar Steelhelm minis painted in a Lethis-y scheme on a craft table. The bases have some wet brown "mud" applied, which still needs to get painted in grays to make ashy. Their shields and flag are shiny where they have been painted with future as a gloss coat in prep for transfers.
Some stereotypical white male nerd standing in a card game shop, smiling devilishly (??). The image macro text says "I disbelieve the illusion."

Low quality pic of the same Steelhelm Banner, but this time the spot that was bleached is back to purple. I did nothing to fix this. Maybe magical gnomes fixed it?
A Steelhelm banner, painted, with the transfer (aka decal) on it. At the bottom where the Micro Set gathered the contrast paint is bleached.
Closeup of the bases of some Games Workshop Age of Sigmar Cities of Sigmar Steelhelms. The bases are covered in a mix of Golden Molding Paste, sand, tea leaves and Ceramcoat Burnt Umber to make a 'mud', then heavily drybrushed Ceramcoat Charcoal, with a final light drybrush of Ceramcoat Drizzle Grey. The attempt is 'ash settled on mud', but I'll take whatever kind of ashy wasteland.
A photo of a GW mini standing on a transfer sheet for the Cities of Sigmar. Next to it is a dropper bottle of Reaper brush-on sealer, which was used to apply the tiny transfer on the Flagellant's base.
Some stock photo online of pants with zips at the knees so you can convert them into shorts. They're REALLY cool.
A rubber popping toy thing for kids, repurposed as a painting tray. A bunch of wells have dried paint on the left side of it. It's on a craft cutting mat with an Age of Sigmar Steelhelm on it for scale.
A map from the OP's post, zoomed in. It doesn't make sense as a map, but passes that initial 'Yeah, looks like a map!' if you don't think about it too much.
A pair of painted Games Workshop Age of Sigmar Cities of Sigmar minis. They are the sergeant and priest of a Steelhelms squad, painted in a Lethis ish scheme. It's mostly vallejo xpress over slapchop. Front view.

A picture, zoomed in, of the board from the game Fate of the Fellowship. It shows the Frodo and Sam 'meeple' at the Plateau of Gorgoroth in Mordor, just one 'space' away from Mount Doom, where they need to go to cast the one ring and end the game. A LOT of orcs are at the black gates, distracted by the rest of the fellowship.
