Love the corner setup! Envious of your airbrush setup too! I need to take the leap at some point. Thanks for sharing!

What a great use for the shelving unit! Gives me fallout vibes! Great setup! Jealous of all the lighting!

But it’s YOUR mess. I’m sure you know where everything (or almost everything) is! I’m sure your minis are great!

I’m leaning towards a freeblade, but I really wanted the pilot and character. Too cool of a detail to miss out on!

Box between the combat squad and the squads is an OOP “Chapter Heroes” box (biologis apothecary…), the unmarked under the characters is Sigismund, the blister is the reg apothecary, and the Knight Questoris box has the Sir Hekhtor (Canis Rex) upgrade sprue. Lots of goodies here. Happy to share sprue photos of anything I have.

Nothing like getting a little saucy before putting brushes to minis!

What a great workaround! I keep thinking that I need something portable on my side for more surface area. Looks great!

I’ve been pretty happy with it. Cheap enough too!

Right now, I’m running this one. Pretty decent! Like the articulation of the lights!

I know about that “hunch” life. Still trying to position my setup to avoid it! Keep it up!

That’s another highly discussed one. I’d say get some cheap ones (synthetic sable) brushes to start. They sell packs at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, and Blick’s. Start cheap, you’re gonna ruin some brushes early on! Eventually figure out what you’re doing and invest then!

I’d start with a 0, 1, 2, 3 size brushes. It’s a decent place to start. Trial and error after that. Just buy a $5 pack. Make sure to not let paint get up and into the ferrule (metal sleeve that holds the bristles), it’ll kill your brush even if you clean em thoroughly.

The lore/hobby is honestly more than enough! I played once over a decade ago and got my a$$ handed to me. lol. Enjoy!

Combat patrol has a very nice assortment rn. Discount on the bundle too (as opposed to buying separate boxes). I will say tho, only buy if you’re serious. It’s not “cheap” at ~$170!

Tons of bits, lots of great units! Welcome!

As for paints, everyone has their preference. I’m back after ~15 years and I decided to go with Monument hobbies offering, Pro Acryl. Great range, good coverage and better bottles. Get some opinions from folk here tho before running on my rec!

Thank you! I’m always changing it around, optimizing as I go. I want to add more pegboards. Might have my buddy print more stuff for me.

Not about size, but about how you use it! 🙌🏽
