Hello! I put together a basic 'So You've Left Hobby Twitter' starter pack for new joiners to Bluesky who maybe feel a bit lost. It's not exhaustive but should be enough to get a complete beginner started with a mix of content creators, writers and hobbyists. Please share around go.bsky.app/8L5waet

Always RS an army shot! #armyshot

⚔️ Big Phil ⚔️@aosmarshy.bsky.social

Little bit different but I've been enjoying some 40K recently. Having stepped down from England Captaincy I suddenly had a lot more time! Over the last 3 weeks I have painted 5k points of 40K! Had a blast painting! Not the best painter but just tried to match box art and get them on table ASAP!

Here is my Wood Elf Spellsinger by Highlands Miniatures, stunning model! #miniaturemonday #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #theoldworld #warhammerfantasy #nerdlings

Been away playing in a Kings of War tournament with my Xirkaali, went 1/0/4, had a whale of a time like always and picked up a nice surprise! First time ever winning something like that, especially given the competition! #nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Always RS an... well it's an everything shot I guess!

Hobby life goal achieved! Every miniature I own. All assembled and painted. All 1036. No backlog. No more minis to paint. All done. Until I get more. Whenever that may be. #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #paintingminiatures #wargames #hobbystreak #warmongers #hobbyprogress #dragon #nerdlings

You ever get the urge to just put an entire army on display and take photos for the sake of it? Nah, me neither. #Wargaming / #Hobbying / #MiniaturePainting / #GrimdarkFuture / #DAOUnion / #EscalationLeague / #OnePageRules / #Warhammer

I was honoured to be asked by Osprey Games, in addition to the cover, to make some interior art from Oathmark Second edition by Joseph McCullough. Classic stuff for me. Here's a selection.

Been putting together a Legion of the Damned force ahead of the new Kill Team box. I took inspiration from the 2nd edition force in White Dwarf #224. Here is the bike squadron. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #legionofthedamned #warhammercommunity

QRS with your most popular piece On Bluesky it was, ironically, one of the little Grim Guard guys as well... but over on Instagram, at 3k likes (and still occasionally ticking) it's not even close, with this Death Guard Scrungaloid just rocketing ahead of anything else!

A follow-up to our post about the recent proliferation of AI creations in our community content programs at @drivethrurpg.com and our efforts to combat it... 🧵

Chaosium@chaosium.bsky.social

Update on the use of AI text in Chaosium Community Content programs @drivethrurpg.com. TL/DR: Don't use it in our programs. AI is not art. It is theft from you and every writer who has gone before you, repackaged dishonestly and shamelessly as original. www.chaosium.com/blogupdate-o...

You may appreciate the naked contempt dripping from this email reply @loremistress93.bsky.social. Just a reminder to all UK creatives that UKGE does not give a shit about you or your opinions, and the recent AI stuff is more than just a simple mistake.

Yes that beard is a separate piece 😩

Olli Werewolf@owolf.bsky.social

Because he was brought up in a conversation yesterday (tagging @realironhand.bsky.social @otagian.bsky.social @howlinggriffon.bsky.social) I thought I had to give him an glamour shot update. This is the man himself - Yan Lo - yeah, the one with the infamous beard. #Nerdlings #Malifaux #JHBackdrops

Replying to @realironhand.bsky.social

The new plastics are cool and I enjoyed painting them - but I use my old metal team from the mid 90's for tournament play :) Single piece minis for the win!

OK I appreciate that I'm an unusual demographic for model assembly but bloody hell GW:

Howlinggriffon@howlinggriffon.bsky.social

Some team's minis came out back in 2016 and they're the more simple "push/fit" style. So they have much less complicated parts. Humans, Orcs, Dwarfs and Skaven were like that. Some newer teams are nightmares to build. Like the Dark Elves where you have to glue a thumb on the witch elves 😬

I found one little bell, so just need one larger one (though will happily take more if i can).

Rictus@rictus-still.bsky.social

Does anyone have any spare Nurgle bells - such as the Sonorous Tocsin from the old Blightkings set, or from the Gnarlmaw kit? Can't find any on eBay or on Bits sites and I need at least a couple and I don't want to buy a Gnarlmaw kit just for bells if possible...

Any Blood Bowl enjoyers in tonight? My games club are starting a league and asked if I wanted to play. I don't know how to play it but have time to paint any team. Given I'm terrible at learning rulesets, what's a nice straightforward team to play?

Having a really shitty fortnight phantom pain-wise but have dragged myself out to nerd club to play our next Arcadia Quest campaign: Riders Look how good these are! (Alt text: a row of chibi animal mounts for Arcadia Quest painted by my clubmate Kevin)
