A minor bit of criticism I was going to have when writing about my TC Irish is that the Dark Age Irish and WWI Brits aren't scaled to each other. Turns out, WA has the same brainworms as I do. Oh, and they also worry about how CAD can lead to minis that look good on screen but bad IRL. Wild!!!

the citadel is out! this beast of a 6mm tank is covered in weapons and ready to crush all who stand in its way! cults3d.com/en/3d-model/... #battletech #miniatures #wargaming #blender3d #3dprinting

It's taking me... A while... To get through them, but I'm super pleased already with how these look.

Dolce has a huge Warmachine merc collection gathering dust - what good indie games could the pod play with them? Games where that kind of magitech fantasy vibe would be appropriate, so not Mortal Gods or Men Who Would Be Kings or whatever.

Holy shit, when I considered taking 83rd division if I ever collected Americans in WW2, it was due to their "evil conspiracy" shoulder patch. I did not know it was also what would have been my other choice: the division that looted any vehicle it could. Oh wow 😍😍😍

Its actually her model train though, just cause she plays a character for social media doesn't mean she doesn't have real interests

BATTLEGROUP EPISODE HAS BEEN FINALLY FIXED, I THINK fortified-niche.pinecast.co/episode/2efe...

I COULD BE PLAYING COC2 IN 15MM BUT MY FLGS IS PLAYING 20MM

oh lawd he comin #battletech #miniaturepainting #wargaming #3dprinting #blender3d

I just managed to make AK-47 Republic People's Edition unaffordable in 3mm by calculating how much this army would cost if you went for 1:1 representation (rather than 1:6 model:men or 1:3 model vehicle)

Foreboding?

One of my dreams is to make what's essentially a zone mortalis board, but one that's populated with all sorts of shrooms, greebles, market stalls, scatter and civilians from like 20 different manufacturers. Trouble is, what is the most economical ZM option that doesn't involve mdf?

Shopping for armies on eBay and Vinted is a trip, and not only because of the interfaces! Also, weirdly(?) little/no By Fire and Sword representation.

Forum Poster lilljonas lays down an argument that wargames are wrong about pre-Mongol invasion samurai warfare, which was closer to mounted champion combat feat supporting infantry rather than anything approaching blocks of identically armed troops forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.p...

STOP posting AI images. I don't give a shit what your reasoning is for making them. I don't give a shit if you are only using it "for personal reasons." I don't give a shit if you "don't intend to use it in the book itself." If you're posting it here on Blue Sky, you are subjecting my eyes to it

I saw some models of Japanese towns when visiting Osaka castle etc., and since then, I've wanted a 28mm table like that.

Some deeply weird regional stuff in deepest, darkest France.

Cackling maniacally as he slots seamlessly into the family photo. Rather a dashing Optae choice, I think!

Finally, the last of the samurai is done! Next up: flags and basing for them and the yari ashigaru. Then it's off to do the gun, bow, and mixed melee ashigaru and command, which will hopefully take less than THREE MONTHS.

Another think people miss about pre-painted terrain (and pre painted minis): it's free* basecoat and blocking out. I'm sure you can apply some advanced painting techniques on top of that to make them really pop. In order to text this theory, I need you to send me your AT-43 Red Blok collection.

Man writes stuff like this unaware that I, @opensketchbook.bsky.social and Firelock 19XX fans exist.

Read some comments that pre-painted GW terrain is bad actually since painting is the best part of the hobby, and damn, it's too early in the day to start drinking.

As Rascal News journalist Lin Codega is quoted here in @wargamer.com, "the ramifications of hallucinatory LLM 'histories' threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record".

A swarm of Hinds 😄

@toofatlardies.bsky.social does something that nearly any other WW2 ruleset would consider unthinkable: remove units because they're too rare (or just don't fit the scale). BEHOLD THE POWER OF NOT HAVING TO SELL MINIS!

Dominions is fun in that the factions are quite often a bizarre and cool mix of fantasy ideas and feel fresh. Something, I realize, Oathmark's realm building can scarcely deliver due to all the fantasy peoples involved being barely different as far as rules are concerned.

My life should be about mainlining the entire Colony 87 range, not copywriting garbage.

If you're A Regular who has had issues trying to listen to our latest episode on Battlegroup, this may be caused by format issues. Pinecast support has been pinged, the editor has been ponged, work continues.

Hobby tourists will do things like host a specialized miniature store for a decade or so

Got 4 more Gaslands vehicles started at least on todays paint and moan. Still havent played it!

Victorian Civil War 1972 - 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regt stormed into mist‑shrouded Fishguard, Col. Ralph Plowman leading the push. Welsh volunteers fought from every alley and window, but the English forced their way forward. Plowman’s verdict: “Fishguard will yield, one doorstep at a time".

Can anyone hear something? That'll be the WHISPERS FROM THE PIT, the Mordheim event happening today at the Clubhouse in Newcastle. Just finished helping set up, now nursing the obligatory cup of tea waiting to start the slaughter.

You may decry the lack of detail in the previews. I'm hoping it's done with the idea that it will be easy to paint. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tai...

Between this and the TIE crawler, procurement in the Empire would make the Third Reich look like peak efficiency in comparison.
