6/ “When I arrived every night I cried and now I don’t sleep well, I felt that being here was my fault and I only wanted to be on vacation like a normal family.” 9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra Montoya, detained on her way to Disney World, spent 113+ days at Dilley.

RETVRN

Time for the big game. A freshly painted jump captain earned his stripes taking down ten Marines, a dreadnought and six blade guard with the enemy warlord! #nerdlings #40k

Your partner's been dropping hints about what they want for Valentine’s Day for the last 11 months- a simple puzzle with many complex pieces. If you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m not inviting you to our game night. I need my friends to be problem solvers & critical thinkers. I need winners.

Now there's a winning message!

Surging all assets to complete Ilhan Omar's Gundam suit.

Must read by Ta-Nehisi Coates on what happened on Minnesota. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t... Paywall bypass here. archive.ph/0TUGt

And this month everything is going to various occupation related causes. For $10 you can pick up both Space Weirdos and Weird Millennium and have more minis gaming action than you can play in a lifetime. site.wargamevault.com/product/3591...

Not glamorous, but I've got three new wall sections done for the table. I struggle with washes on stuff like this, but this time I just stippled over anything I didn't like with the original color. #nerdlings

Another patriot martyred by the state. When will we be free?

Last week's #40k game. Ultramarine blade guard scouted forward and got an early charge killing my brutalis. Despite over committing to that side, I couldn't retaliate to take down his redemptor. Good game. I think I need more scatter terrain off of the foot prints. #nerdlings

I'm glad I took the time to listen to this speech and get an update on the state of the grass and restaurant bookings in DC

Decadent!

First game of 40k in a while was very lopsided. Even at 1k points the alpha strike potential is so crazy. I'll have to see if I can marry my terrain and how I like a board to look with their prescribed layouts for balance. While overly complicated the rules are flavourful compared to OPR #nerdlings

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

What they do to nameless civilians abroad they want to do to you here as much as they think they can get away with

I've got 8 more Spires Desolation Drones on the painting desk that I could reasonably finish up today. That would bring my painting total for the year to 151! 😱 Gotta knock these out and try to somehow get a group shot

A great battle will take place here, once I schedule it. Piece in the middle is a Christmas gift to myself. Love the battlefield in a box prepainted stuff. #nerdlings

My annoying neighbor with the loud cars, motorcycles and leaf blower got a really cool RC Lowrider for Christmas and is out front doing donuts in the street with it. So happy for him, also, that thing is way quieter than anything else he messes with. Gotta thank whoever came up with that gift

This is what happen when you leave your mindless drones baking in the spawning pool too long then dope 'em up on all the peptides the kids are running these days. #Conquest Brutes. #nerdlings

I'm no purist when it comes to participating in things we all know are bad. I try to reduce my harm but I'm an honest hypocrite. I won't judge you for still using Spotify, just try this rad alternative. I'm listening to music from Dar es Salaam. Where will you listen to? radio.garden/listen/furah...

Vacation hobby outputs. Three more bound clone stands for #Conquest #tlaok. Did all twelve in a single batch and only kinda wanted to *break terms of service*. A three man group of brute drones next. #nerdlings

Artists! Please show: ✨ The first piece you did in 2025 ✨ Your favourite piece of the year ✨ Your most popular piece ✨ Your most recent piece #Nerdlings #Warhammer40k #ZonaAlpha #Conquest

Local shop is starting a #Conquest league and I've been super hyped to paint up a force for this. I've never played a rank and file wargame before and am looking forward to these poor souls getting creamed on a weekly basis. #nerdlings

Don't give me a reason, Grandfunk.

Really good game of #opr today. Progressive scoring with points for killing units and heroes. My tyranids came out on top 12-10 with some crazy dice swings putting me ahead turn three. #nerdlings

My five year old used a can opener to get herself some corn yesterday and today she used the bike pump to fill a slow leak in our walking stroller. At this rate she'll have an email job before she's ten.

Target acquired! A few sneakfeet from wargames Atlantic that'll make snipere in #opr #nerdlings

This absolutely killed me. harpers.org/archive/2025...

Six more Grognards from @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Started this army off with more of a krieg theme in mind but the head and face options are so good I couldn't limit myself to gas masks for all of them. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting

Dreadnought based. Wanted to make an arch that mimicked the custom chapter symbol but with a severed head in place of the blood drop. But I also have two small children I play with so... I magnetized it 😀 #nerdlings

Sterngaurd vets fresh from the painting desk and ready for battle. Tempted to get the multi part kit too for the back banner! #nerdlings

Got myself a normal amount of mdf terrain for a gaming shed I think. 28mm models for scale. #nerdlings

Continuing my dislike of basing by procrastinating on this one. #nerdlings

Some more stalkers for Zona Alfa. Winter fallschirmjaeger with a couple iron core heads, and infinity Yu Jing. #nerdlings

Pondering my orb #ZonaAlfa #Nerdlings

Zombies for Zona Alfa. Going to need a lot more than this painted. Very excited for this rule set and the supplements. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #zonaalfa

Despite getting stuck in some terrain, this guy terrorized one side of the board in #OPR last night. And no, he's still not based. Pelt me with tomatoes if you must #nerdlings

Finished off these two squads this weekend. #Infinity O-12 that needed some basing and these Zulus Braves. The Zulus are FDM printed so forgive the quality there the models from Wargames Atlantic are really quite good. #nerdlings

Probably my favorite sculpt from the O-12 line. #Infinity #nerdlings #miniaturepainting

First stab at some home made forrest/brush terrain. A grass mat glued to plasticard with various tufts and floral arrangement parts

Still figuring out how I'll base these, but happy enough to post 'em. I've got one more to add and they'll be the first warband I try in Space Weirdos. What skirmish games are everyone enjoying now? #miniaturepainting #infinity #nerdlings

++YOU SENT US INTO THE COLD DARK, FATHER WE FOUGHT FOR YOU WE DIED FOR YOU DO NOT NOW BEGRUDGE OUR RETURN++

Happy Birthday Richard Sharpe! Here you go "Bastards!" wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/s...

Trench Pilgrims for #TrenchCrusade. Although they'll be first hitting the table in #OPR firefight this evening at the local shop. #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #wargaming

🎵 Monday, Monday

Some merry weird war fellows. #nerdlings #wargaming #trenchcrusade
