Hello everyone. No #WIP tonight because my converted Iron Priest is finished! #SpaceWolves #primaris #warhammer #warhammer40k #spacemarines #PaintingWarhammer #paintingminiatures #wargammerCommunity #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #modelpainting

Miniature painting is honestly crazy good now compared to painting competitions I saw pictures in the magazines when I was a kid.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I honestly loved this game so much. I still remember vividly my duel against Maverick on the Pipeline race track.

POD: Planet of Death (Ubisoft, 1997): A death race to secure a place on the last ship to leave planet Io, in the grip of a deadly fungus. I didn't have access to Wipeout (1995), but I had POD. And POD is the reason Star Wars: Racer (LucasArts, 1999) was not titled Podracer.

Pour mes followers francophones : Les jeunes qui manifestent et luttent pour obtenir des conditions décentes pour apprendre ont tous mon soutien et meritent le soutien de tous face à ce gouvernement qui montre chaque jour un visage plus odieux. La violence que les jeunes subissent est inadmissible

I struggled to paint these last weeks but I finished my first Questing Knights. #warhammer #TheOldWorld #Bretonnia

Sometimes I feel like the only one, but I don't dislike painting pots. 🫣 I have a lot of dropper bottles too and I find pros and flaws in both designs, but maybe I'm weird...

“Tony [Gilroy] finally turned to me, and he said, ‘Hey, you just got to stop pitching plot. Plot is bullshit. Plot is what happens when you get the behavior right. Pitch me a line of dialogue, pitch me atmosphere, pitch me something visual. Stop pitching stuff that happens.’” 1/2

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

My son has started watching Bluey again. I'm honestly amazed by the writing of this kid TV show each time I watch it with him. Some episodes honestly make me shed tears.

Bretonnian Baggage train, finished! The knight prays at the moveable shrine before battle. The glue on the grass still needs to dry and I'll take some better photos then! . . . #warhammertheoldworld #warhammercommunity #bretonnia #warhammerfantasybattle #warhammer #theoldworld

I was very sad to hear news of Richard ‘Orclord’ Hale’s passing. An enormous loss to the community. The Stuff of Legends has long been an essential resource for collectors, fans, & historians, and I personally would not have been able to do so much of my work without it. Terribly sad news.

I just wanted to say: Fuck StreumOn. Very hard. I honestly despise their vile founders. Maybe the worst people I worked with in my life. I'll never buy a game from them, not even accept it for free.

I'm honestly terrified, we live on the top floor of a small apartment building near Paris without air conditioning. It's 31°C right now in the kid's room and it's forecast to be even worse in the coming days.

France will be at the epicenter of the most significant heat anomaly on the planet over the next few days. The sheer extent of the country that could experience temperatures above 40°C is nothing short of astonishing.

"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" and if you have a 3D printer guy in your club, he'll bring it up at every opportunity.

He'll also try to sell you it's counterfeit/scanned/IA generated ugly miniatures at every fucking occasion and honestly, it makes me hate the 3D printing community.

Warhammer needs a sim city type game where you build a hive and have to fend of genestealer infections, mutie uprisings, political machinations, occasional orks etc all while keeping the population balanced between downtrodden and rioting

This friday I have a game planned with @dried.bsky.social and I have painted a Kill rig for the occasion. It was a very fun mini to paint which took me longer than expected but a real pleasure. More photos in posts below #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #nerdlings #orks #waaagh

Yesterday I had a booth in an "association day" for my city where I presented my association (which isn't doing wargames only) to other inhabitants of the city. My most wholesome encounter with was a 13 year old and his mother.

She was painting his armies (and now hers) but never played and really liked Necrons and Orks. She pre-ordererd Armageddon the same morning and we invited her to come to one of our wargame session with her son to teach them how to play. I don't know her but it was clear she is a great mom.😄

Persepolis is among my favorite graphic novels, and I've been thinking about this quote a lot these days for obvious reasons. So sad to hear about Satrapi's passing.
