So, for those following miniatures wargames since September-ish, we all know Games Workshop are bastards, and why this is a conclusion that I should have made ages ago. Went into depth on it on my DevArt, but the short version is "when companies sue fans for being fans, on top of extorting and bullying them, they cease to be worth my time".

So, I've been buying and painting Battletech miniatures. Specifically, every time Games Workshop has:
- angered me
- begged for my subscription to their garbage streaming service (which was their cassus belli for hitting youtubers with CnDs)
- shown up in the news begging creatives to come work for them
- relentlessly plugged celebrity photo ops

...I have bought more mechs. More mechs for the Battletech, more spite to go into my transport bag of miniatures. The bag is, as of yesterday evening, twelve pounds. Yes, a lot of that is pewter! And pewter is heavy! But think on it: as a physical measure of my displeasure with Games Workshop, and their practices, their treatment of customers and fans, and their obscene price gouging and removal of hobbying options. A physical number to place on my level of unspeakable spite.

Twelve. Pounds. Of SPITE.

I'm hoping to get this thing to be at least 15 when it's full, and I have to buy a second bag...
