It's been about 20 years since I read or followed anything from Palladium Books outside of social media. I've grown and changed, but Palladium hasn't really. So how does it hold up? Is it worth playing again? Thanks @LegionofMyth for inspiring this! #ttrpg #rpg #rifts #palladium #robotech #battletech #tmnt #savageworlds #savagerifts

I work strange hours so my weekends aren't any better. But that just means I can paint instead. #miniature #painting #warhammer #battletech #starwars

Darth Vader is still imposing, even in miniature. In this case I used a little bit of gloss varnish on his helmet to get the gloss look he is known for. Overall, I really like how he came out. #starwars #miniature #painting #legion #imperialassault #darthvader

It's been so long since I painted these stormtrooper miniatures. They are a lot more rough since I thought drybrushing the white would give me better black lining underneath. Needless to say future stormtroopers should look better, but I'm still happy with how these look. #starwars #miniature #painting #legion #imperialassault

Released in 1990 and building off of the successful model popularized by the Choose Your Own Adventure books, Star Wars: Scoundrel's Luck gives players a branching story to read set soon after A New Hope. I had never heard of this book until recently and I thought it would be a fun way to share with people by reading through it with you all as participants. Miss the first video?

This miniature of Luke Skywalker isn't painted the greatest. I originally painted it six years ago, and while I went through and touched it up, added some wash, and cleaned up the base, I didn't want to change too much as I like to see where I came from as opposed to redoing everything with current skills. #starwars #miniature #painting #legion #imperialassault

I feel like I got the colors a bit off on this miniature of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but I think it still came out well. The first time I took a picture of it, the light saber was out of focus a bit and looked more like the rotoscoped version from the film. #starwars #miniature #painting #legion #imperialassault

This is now the third Donegal Guards miniature in the Showcase. Galen Cox had an interesting career and was a fantastic supporting character in the Battletech storyline for years. #games #battletech #catalystgamelabs #steiner #crusader #warhammer

This was a bit challenging because of the white paint, but I think the black tiger stripes really set it off. #games #battletech #catalystgamelabs #wolf #archer #warhammer

Alhambra: New York is a reskin of the original Alhambra from Queen Games. Overall it's a decent presentation, but is it worth replacing the original? #boardgames #alhambra #QueenGames #newyork

Taking queues to paint this figure from the Legends sourcebook, we see Jaime Wolf in his venerable Archer battlemech. I was a bit worried about the gold trim but that's when I was thinking it needed to be yellow. I really think the gold works a lot better here. #games #battletech #catalystgamelabs #wolf #archer #warhammer

Brazil Imperial from MeepleBR and Portal games covers the early history of Brazil. Having spent a couple of years in Brazil, I picked this up without reading reviews because I love Brazil. But let's see what we get inside! #games #boardgames #brazil #unboxing

I wasn't sure I wanted to paint this miniature for this pilot, but Katherine is listed in Legends and so I figured I had to. I am pretty happy with how it came out even though she is one of the most reviled characters in Battletech. #games #miniature #painting #battletech #warhammer #madcat #catalystgamelabs

When you have extra copies of miniatures, it can be a bit more difficult to find interesting named characters to paint up. In this case, a friend told me about Camacho's Caballeros and how Carlos Camacho ended up "acquiring" a Mad Cat. When I saw the paint job, basically plain black, I thought it would be boring, but it ended up being a lot of fun and the shark's teeth really make it interesting. #games #miniature #painting #battletech #warhammer #madcat #catalystgamelabs

While the Valkyrie miniature for Justin Allard is not what one would expect due to his fame inside the Centurion, Yen-Lo-Wang, this was the mech listed in the Legends book as being used by Justin during his time with the Kittery Borderers. #games #miniature #painting #valkyrie #warhammer #battletech #catalystgamelabs

This miniature represents a time before Frederick Steiner would be known as Anastasius Focht. Leading the 7th Lyran Regulars with distinction, the green and tan of the mech make it look like the battle machine it is. #games #miniature #warhammer #battletech #catalystgamelabs #painting

I'm running out of painted miniatures for the Miniature Showcase so let's work on some more! Today I'm going to work on some Wolf's Dragoons and some Clan Wolf Beta Galaxy. I know... super exciting... #miniatures #painting #battletech #catalystgamelabs #games #warhammer

This Miniature came from the Wolf's Dragoons boxed set, but since I'm going for unique pilots, I decided to use it for Trenton Marik from the Legends book. I really like how the purple came out as it's not super garish and I think contrasts with the grays nicely. #games #miniature #warhammer #battletech #catalystgamelabs #painting #marik

Working on these GI Joe miniatures has been a treat and a fun trip down memory lane. Snake Eyes, as one of the most iconic of all GI Joe characters made his first appearance in all black plastic. As that doesn't give a lot of detail, I used a dark gray with black and light gray trim to better see details. I also used Army Painter Shining Silver for the metallic bits as a throw back to the v3 Snake Eyes. #renegade #GIJoe #Hasbro #miniatures #RPG #TTRPG #painting #games
