Don’t mind me, just making a 6mm LEGO Blacktron army. Why? Because I can. For what system? I’ll figure that out later.

To be less vague about it, I do have an idea for some interesting fluffy mechanics for a game using these, so when I get the time I do want to have a shot and making a little ruleset. Will it be good? I cannot say. But it will be free, so everyone will need to shut up and be nice to me about it.

Not sure how many different things I'll make for this but I reinforcements are already in production. Enjoy some scout craft. (these are technically Blacktron 2 rather than Blacktron 1 but I won't tell if you don't).

Has there been a rise in people on the right being against the teaching of algebra recently, or have I just happened to run into it more recently? Either way, it is very silly and people saying it should not be taken seriously.

I printed off and painted up the Blacktron Invader I made on stream the other day. Which means I've hit 80 minis painted in 2026! If you'd like your own Invader it's available for free over on my Cults page. cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...

Huh, well I guess the RPG's not gonna be a thing after all then. Hopefully the reason for this weirdness comes out eventually, but at least the minis will see release.

Don't get me wrong, it is possible that what they say here is the complete story and after announcing it they just decided it just wasn't right and pulled the plug. I have my doubts but such things can happen. But even if it is the case then I would love to know the specific reasoning.

Y'know, you'd think that over a year later I'd stop getting comments every few days on my Lamenters Battlecry video that completely miss the point of what I was doing. But... they just keep coming.

One of the most frequent comments is: "Well if enough people believe it then it basically is canon". Hey cool, that is not how anything works. Please think about how such logic becomes problematic when discussing a video that is using toy soldiers to actually talk more broadly about misinformation.

Firing all the people who make the video games is an interesting gambit for an industry that makes video games. But I'm sure it's fine.

Okay, graphics card fan is replaced and it’s running a lot quieter now, so that’s nice. Don’t feel like turning on the PC is rolling the dice on if my card overheats and dies.

If the next CC is late it’s because it’s been an incredibly stressful month, plus I’ve had to take a few days off since a mouse got into the office and needing to pull everything out to clean behind it has been a massive pain. Anyway, here is the criminal responsible.

Also hard to work when the whole (tiny) room is covered in the books you’ve had to pull off the bookshelf to get behind. Oh and I also need to now replace the PC’s GPU fan since that’s on the fritz. October has been… a lot.

Realised I'd not posted what I made on stream last night... I made an epic-scale Blacktron Invader. An interesting challenge since a lot needs to be tweaked for such a small scale. You can do 100% faithful, but that wouldn't work well as a mini, so there's compromises to be made.

I did, of course, also make versions with the wings folded out and a version without the central section. And if you *really* wanted to recreate the toy's play pattern, you can build one however you want with individual parts. Which includes making one with many, many middle sections if you like.
