Overheard bed time conversation between my 7YO twins: Girl: you know there’s a chance anyone can be anything they want when they grow up. Boy: I want to be a Pokemon. Girl: Not that.

I did a thing! A large thing! #nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too! The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression. 🧵 1/19

Lots of kitbashing tonight - an Iron Hands Praetor (have I added too much? Does he need a cloak?) plus a scout gunner/Skald to bring my wolf scouts up to 2 squads. I love the smoke grenade. #warhammer #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

One of the things that was good about Twitter was at least you ended up arguing with people you disagreed with. Here you post something incredibly mundane/practical and a bunch of people you broadly agree with tell you you’re evil.

3rd proper game of warhammer, we stopped at turn 4 and it was close on points but I really got my arse handed to me. I need to find a good way to learn rules etc as I keep forgetting rules and abilities, maybe I need a folder with things organised in a way that works for me.

Post gym lunch

I finished the last 2 models of the Space Wolves army box, the battle leader and the wolf priest. Both great models to paint, lots of fun and I think they look great considering my skills level. #Warhammer #warhammercommunity ##spacewolves #wolfpriest #battleleader #miniaturepainting #wepaintminis

Better lit Wolf Scouts and Headtakers, now I just need to sort the background #warhammer #nerdlings

Wolf scouts done and on parade #nerdlings #warhammer

First mini of 2026 complete. #Warhammer #40k #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

My Ballistus is also done. Not perfect - really doesn’t stand zooming in - but good enough for the game I’m playing on Thursday. #warhammer #nerdlings

Aux armes, citoyens (formez) Vos bataillons Marchons, oui, marchons Qu'un sang impur Abreuve nos sillons I mean seriously, beat that!

I think this is probably my best 40K paint job so far, the only problem is it sets a pretty high bar for the next Saturnine I do #nerdlings #warhammer

Great story! Aubrey does this in O’Vrisn’s books and yrs one of those ‘the truth is stranger’ stories

Gorgeous saturnines

Oh wow!!

Cheeky bit of 3D printing to make this Saturnine Dreadnaught truly a #wordbearers big boy. I think I have my work cut out for me painting this, it took me three sessions to assemble it! #horusheresy #warhammer30k #warhammercommunity #warhammer #miniaturepainting #3dprinting #chonk

I added a bit of dust just to darken some of the crevices and so I could add a little to his boots. Whilst I was playing I thought I’d get the base colours down on a dreadnought I just built. The dread needs to be a quick job as I want to use him in a game next week. #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

I’m bombarded with ‘claim compensation off the army if you used these ear plugs’ adverts and every time I’m a bit gutted that I lost them within hours of being issued and filled my pockets with yellow squishies instead for the next 5years

Thoughts on the base; does it need more red? Maybe a skull? Some ‘dust’? #warhammer #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

The hubris of this guy - you could ‘secure civilisation’ by using your vast wealth to solve climate change, feed the hungry, provide education and healthcare for millions but no, the key apparently is to build a moon base 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think this chap is done apart from the base #warhammer #horusheresy #nerdlings

Saturnine now with head! I’ve just realised the pauldrons aren’t quite straight but that should be a quick fix. Next some highlights on the metal, maybe a couple more markings (I’m thinking a wolf’s head and a VI somewhere) and then some battle damage. #warhammer

I’m slightly worried this chap is the start of a heresy based problem #warhsmmer #psintingwarhammer

Canoeing, big chap I'm sharing with overbalances, I get hit on the head by the canoe followed by him. Dragged under, thrown out, smashed into rock, dragged under again. I remember thinking 'that's it, I'm going to drown'. The next thing I know I'm above water tangled in a tree. Everything was fine.

These guys have a real ‘storming through the party like my name was El Niño’ vibe #warhammer #nerdlings #psintingwarhammer

This has been fun so far, I love the grey of the body, the blue on the pauldrons has come out a touch darker than I hoped, maybe some top highlights will help #warhammer #nerdlings #spacewolves #warhammer30k

These Saturnine Terminators are incredible! I can’t wait to paint this chap! #warhammer #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Rounding up the hardened criminals right there!

Wow, I’m not going to forget this one any time soon, a hell of a phrase!

Now the news is almost a week old and therefore doesn't count any more, in 2010 I was working with the Danish army in a CP in Afghanistan, obviously we were nowhere near the front lines but this is the view from the sanger I slept next to ('front line' nowhere in to be seen, although 19 people/1

For reference the Boston Massacre only killed 5 and that prompted a revolution…

Anyone fancy some ramparts? I’ve printed more than I need and so I might sell off the spares. A set of 4 is enough for a small fort or a pair of barricades, if you’re interested let me know #wargaming #warhammer #terrain

I hadn’t clocked that he was shot in the back. Awful

Wolfies have heads! Decals, a wash and some varnish and we are done!

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

I promise I didn’t do this for long free I realised what she was doing because I know it’s bad for her, but it was pretty funny

Wow, this is horrific!

I wanted to post some warhammer stuff but honestly it feels wrong as my stream is currently full MAGA brownshirts shooting people on camera. WTF America? Is this what you wanted?

PM of Poland: "On December 22, 2011, in Ghazni, Afghanistan, I took part in the farewell ceremony for the five fallen Polish soldiers. The American officers who accompanied me then, told me that America would never forget the Polish heroes. Perhaps they will remind President Trump of that fact."

Wolf scouts are getting there, I’ve sacrificed quality for speed in places but they look ok as a gang. Now for the bit I’ve been putting off, heads! #warhammer #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Canada took down the United States at Davos, leading the way for others to confront the US threat: "You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination." This is the beginning of the end of the US.

Some tweaks needed but I think ‘irks drift’ is nearly there… #warhammer #wargaming #terrain

I think this is it, the rampart (I need a snappier name). WIP space wolf for scale. I reckon a pack of 4 of these would be a good sized set for battles, 8 would allow you to make a cool ‘stockade’ type thing. Next I think I need a gate. #nerdlings #warhammer40k #terrain #wargaming
