A time-honored tradition: Republicans offering buts and prayers

Two years and over at @goonhammer.com we‘re still saying everyone is welcome in historical wargaming, with the exception of Nazis and misogynist fucks. www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h...

Ugly desk shot - but currently painting a bunch of Scots and @badsquiddogames.bsky.social shieldmaidens. Creating a 6 point shieldmaiden warband for SAGA for my 10yo daughter, who basically only wants to play as women miniatures, lol. She's a girl who plays historical wargames with me

This is really gross.

Lots of fun playing SAGA today

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

Check it out!! I wrote up a battle report of The Silver Bayonet with a step-by-step of how to play. @ospreygames.bsky.social

Check it out! I put together some of the biggest things that happened in 2025 for Historical games - did I miss anything?

Come Out Fighting combines miniatures and RPG elements for a new spin on WW2 combat.

Today in Historicals, we're looking at The Silver Bayonet: Britain, the fifth expansion for the highly-regarded "Napoleonic armies fight beasties and ghoulies" game.

"It was the job I always wanted." From Detroit native to the longest-tenured play-by-play announcer in Detroit sports history, 'the voice of the Pistons' and a 2025 Curt Gowdy award... the Pistons are celebrating 50 years of George Blaha!

Check it out! Today at @goonhammer.com Marc recounts a battle report for Chain of Command 2 set on the Eastern Front. With props to WSS and @toofatlardies.bsky.social #spreadthelard www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h...

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly

The Monkey King, a rebellious 16th-century Chinese superhero, is finally breaking into the U.S. through Netflix films, blockbuster video games, and a sold-out San Francisco Opera production. n.pr/4rov9hl

Thanks, Abe

Cade Cunningham's double-double lifts the Pistons to their 12th straight win and move to 14-2 on the season! Jalen Duren: 19 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AST Tobias Harris: 18 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST, 3 3PM Ryan Rollins: 24 PTS, 5 REB, 7 AST, 3 3PM

FINAL: Pistons 120, Hawks 112 Cade Cunningham 25/6/10 Jalen Duren 24/8/3 with a block and a steal on his 22nd birthday Pistons have won 11 straight

Been meaning to read this forever - finally digging in due to #kenburns and @pbs.org

Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.

Andre Drummond has made more three-pointers this season (6) than Ben Simmons did in his entire NBA career (5).

Pistons have won 9 in a row for the first time since February 2008.

I absolutely love Don't Look Back from Black Site Studio, and if you like horror movies you will too! Check it out!

Played Don't Look Back with my kids last night, the horror coop minis game. We successfully evaded Baghead and escaped the Slaughter at the Drive In

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Rather proud of this little "Gentle Intro" Silver Bayonet campaign. www.goonhammer.com/ghoulhammer-...

Been really into small model count rulesets lately. I don't get a ton of time to play but I can read 🫡

Painted up the one and only Carl Kolchak for Don't Look Back and other games, sculpted by Bill Thornhill. I fuckin' love the Kolchak TV show and can't wait for Carl to solve some mysteries and fight insane monsters

Reskeet with your grunts Grenadier Guards of the Supreme Power, Mexican Army, 1847. 1st Corps minis

Current read. Lots and lots of great first hand accounts. Many of the US-Mexican War books I've read have been mostly summaries.

Mugginns is usually our historicals editor, but this week he's put on his Genestealer Cultist...third arm?...and chronicled his prep for an upcoming Crusade GT.

Picked up "The Hooligans of Kandahar" by fellow Michigander @jkass99.bsky.social while listening to 40k Badcast @brothersrm.bsky.social. Only one beef w/ the pod: Michigander not discussed as demonym. Lincoln popularized by calling Cass a Michigander for doing stolen valor: tinyurl.com/293ywn86

Pics from the #MichiganGT in Lansing this weekend 😀 I played in the 40k Crusade event with my Genestealer Cult. Had lots of fun

Some Dr. Aculas for The Silver Bayonet. It's October, so if you see this QRP with a vampire 🦇

Some new guys for my Genesteeler Cult army. I've had this army forever and it's all been painted but I needed more special and heavy weapons as well as two new trucks, so here we go! #warhammer40k #genestealercults

The near daily barrage of deadly mass shootings in America feels like low level warfare against normal citizens who just want to live in peace. And because people keep electing Republicans who won’t do anything about it there’s no solution in sight.

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social today Goonhammer Historicals takes a look at the new Kickstarter release - Women of WW2: The Resistance!

In this Monday's Historicals, Ilor takes a look at the Army Painter range as it applies -- directly, as paint -- to the American WW2 range of miniatures.

Grabbed The US Horse Soldier 1776-1943 this week and I couldn't be happier - so much amazing info on uniforms, equipment, saddles, etc. Even better are the super detailed sketches. Awesome stuff for my US-Mexican War and 2nd Seminole War games.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

COYR Up 3-0 at half ⚽

Good lakeside reading tonight 🇲🇽

Some lovely weekend Sharp Practice in the basement. Down Mexico way. #spreadthelard

Check it out! We at @goonhammer.com Historicals review Midgard, a rank-and-flank system you can use for Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Anicents, Knights, Fantasy, or whatever else you can think of! www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h... @toofatlardies.bsky.social #spreadthelard

Got these in the mail from the Virtual Armchair General - 28mm flags for every unit that served in the US-Mexican War 🇲🇽🇺🇸
