1) The concept for the Horus Heresy is to have a civil war game that allowed them to use the same plastic kit twice- Adeptus Titanicus 2) AT was designed by late 70s/ 80s historical wargamers. 3) Their key ref for civil war might be have been the English Civil War. Does the HH have ECW references?

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Which contemporary European army would be the mpat enjoyable to reduce the Confederacy to a smeer? Prussians? Garabaldi's Red Shirts?

If you were to offer me a complete set of one type of citadel model, it might be the minotaurs (although id spend a long time thinking about the chaos dwarves.)

Thr remake of The Crow where the Crow is Diana Princess of Wales is something i never knew i wanted until now.

Fallout

Someone who i know has photographed the Mari Lwyd ans Morris event at Chepstow and its one of the most intesnse "GNU Terry Pratchett" things ive seen in my life.

Imagine picking up CoC as a kid in 1992, not really knowing about Lovecraft but trying to work it out from the books, and then seeing the advert from Dreamlands and having to work out what the Isambard Kingdom Brunel zebra man was to do with the rest of it.

The Chaos Android army is complete! Close up pics in the comments. There are a lot of them. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k

Its coming up on the 251st anniversary of Lexington & Concord and 5he Minnesotans are basically doing "The British are coming!" with ICE The propagnda own goal of Trump deciding to act like Jason Isaacs in The Patriot 250 years after 1776.

I should get into Nemesis the Warlock shouldnt i?

Hey, Vampire here, my storyteller screen is marble effect with a single rose on it. Hi, Im Mage, let me show you mine....

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I would simply defeat this wheels for limbs guy with a windup gold man with a moustache.

The big things is it needs space marines but it cant be all space marines. For eg. 1) audience POV joins inquisitor retinue 2) they investigate stuff 3) investiagtion leads to marine fortress monastery (new chapter) 4) marines are secretly corrupt some how 5) famous chapter comes- epic fight.

He's fucking Dril. "Now do i see how based i am?" i ask, whilst i share a message where a friend asks what the fuck im doing, and I play a video of me crying because i didnt get a nobel peace prize.

(im going to use the elderly people names) based clans: nosferatu, neutral clans: tzimisce, malkavian, brujah, lasombra, followers of set, giovanni, ravnos, ventrue, gangrel cringe clans: assamites, tremere, toreador I will not be taking questions at this time.

Hey @delaneyking.bsky.social some one put this up in the oldhammer group for identification and people seem a little stumped- thoughts?

These guys were in my first.X Men comic- sudden Proustian rush seeing this.

Too true, Neil Gaiman, too true.

2000AD sorted this out 40 years ago.

I hate this so much.

The amount of warhammer content on @nogodsnomayors.com has reached the point where i have to ask the following question of @raaleh.bsky.social : Are imperial planetary governors mayors?

Astonishing and shocking lack of thoughtfulness from the guy who produces the child soldiers miniatures line. Imagine watching that bit in Downfall and thinking "yeah, i'd like to game out that one."

Really intense piece of jounralism rattling around the city of Nottingham with the chaotic vibe of the end of an Alan Moore graphic novel "the stock market! A paedo! Punk Wargames! Sexism! The local MP!

An amazing banger for sure..My personal unproved theory is that its lyrics are revised from some earlier lost song about the western rising, because the events described dont really ressemble anything that happened with Trelawney (who sounds like he was an asshole but, y'know, our asshole.)

What is so great about this is that the central tyranid: a member of an utterly impacable, emotionless, alien race, has a look of confused suprise on his face, as if he's thinking "wait, what the fuck? how did these guys get in here?...and is that one dressed as a pirate?"

Ive not been able to stop thinking about how, when Joyce Carol Oates said Musk couldnt express enjoyment in art he countered by claiming he enjoyed listened to the Illiad oj 1.5 speed "call me a philistine, eh? Well check out Alvin and the Chipmunks singing of the rage of Achilles."

Can this be true? Quite apart from Musk, its also unusable. Its like looking at Grond, the ram to break the gates of Minas Tirith and end the age of men and realising that it also has square wheels that make fart noises as it rolls along.

C S Lewis accepting a big brief case of money to convince kids they want to eat sweets that taste of soap.

Do people have strong memories of the Fighting Fantasy fiction? I've started imagining doing a The Trolltooth Wars bonus episode....

I am obsessed with the output of games workshop between 1985 and about 1992. Although, if im honest, its just 1988-1991, and right now its specifically the White Dwarf magazines of 1991.

I think this might split into 4 episodes for thr first time ever. Its very dense, and also im not sure if anyone ever gets excited when they see one of the three episodes is 5 hours long. I was forced to do that with Spacemarine cos it didnt stop but this has way more potential pause points.

Look at the curtains. They're starting a war from the drama room at school.

This reminds me of the advert that suggested you might want to read Lord of the Rings in order to help you appreciate The Rings of Power when it came on Amazon prime.

Im.currently 6,000 words into the script for a podcast bonus episode on how games workshop developed the process of getting people into wargammer, and, as is ever the way, ive had an idea for the next one of these: the relationship between the development of warhammer and the World of Darkness.

You are now forced to have the same job as the main character in the last book you read. What is the job? Vampire, assassin. @annodracula.bsky.social 's Unicorn Ivory. Proving the school careers advisor wrong finally.

Is there a commonly used term for the late 80s deep boxes that a lot of the plastic infantry kits came in?

i was watching @arbitorian.bsky.social new video on the primarchs tod!ay, and thinking about his discomfort with 30k stuff breaking through into 40k, and it suddebtly came to me what it reminded me of: the relationship between Dark Ages: Vampire and Vampire the Masquerade. Initially two disntinct..

Project idea number 1 for the new year. A Cauldron warband that is just these three early citadel trolls, painted in the style of the Troll from the Billy Goats Gruff book i had when i was about three.

192 models painted this year. The most ive ever done, but lots of it done against the clock for turnipcon or Bring Out Your Lead or similar. The plan for next year is to paint less and to try and enjoy the creativity a bit more. Still pleased with my work though.

Not Kyle Reese but Kyrie Reese.

i watched this with my daughter today and it was sucg a compelling piece of emergent story telling from a kids game....That happens to be longer than most Hollywood films.

In all of Talking Miniatures, this is my favourite bit. I love that GW people were obsessed with Airfix from their youths in the way people are obsessed with warhammer, and that the people from Airfix would barely remember models like GW people barely remember things people are obsessed with today.

"The Fast and the Fuerta Sacra-ious"

I have just read this and it was superb. Sex cults (complimentary), future museums, America, strange carnivorous beasts, Pan-like dream creatures, visions, and evil, evil mayors.
