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 🇲🇽🇺🇸

Ghosts of past, present, and future for Silver Bayonet plus a Krampus =)

My buddy 3D printed out a ton of Slovak dudes for my Slovak Fast Division platoon for Chain of Command. Super excited to get going on these minis. #ChainofCommand #SpreatheLard

I dunno why I didn't magnetize the bases for these guys before i primed most of them, but i went through 120 guys last night magnetizing. Ones with 3dp bases are not hard, the blue magnet stick makes it easy. but the older bases dont have spots for magnets so I have to cut their supports a little

@mommaneganpaints.bsky.social does an amazing job on these WW2 Romanian uniforms here at @goonhammer.com ! Check it out!

Our very own Mugginns went to HistoriCon this year and is here with an event report -- and a LOT of photos.

I was at HistoriCon last week and had a great time. Check out my event report here: www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h... @toofatlardies.bsky.social @goonhammer.com

if you see this, post a plane I ran Bag The Hun at HistoriCon and it's such a lovely game

Hey, you. You've had various people scoff at the things that bring you joy and it's made you feel really small at times. But you're still going, cause that's the most important bit. And if you're struggling with it at the moment, don't let those joyless judgers stop you doing the nice thing.

trump and the goons frantically going from rosie o’donnell to mexican cokes to pro sports team names to fake obama arrest videos is like the end of fireworks shows where they just blow up whatever they have left to get the oohs and ahhs from the crowd

Medicaid is America’s healthcare plan for the working poor, whose employers pay low wages/refuse to provide benefits. Children and the elderly in nursing homes are also beneficiaries. Republicans continue to lie about the proliferation of mystical welfare queens. Facts don’t support their claims.

My painting guide for WW2 Hungarian just dropped over on @goonhammer.com please give it a read and let me know what you think 🙂‍↕️ www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-h...

Reading a new book I'm hugely excited about while grilling in the yard. Mexican officer is a reflection of current heatwave. The more I read about certain military conflicts, the more I get interested in just everyday life not only for the soldiers, but regular people #mexicanwar #sharppractice

He's not wielding it but has one on his belt. On my absolute favorite minis. US-Mexican War Mexican officer from 1st Corps.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

OJ Verdict.

Finished this today. An amazing recount of the battle with a lot of great first-hand stories. Easy to read and hard to put down. Definitely a recommend if you're into ACW

One problem among many with trying to please conservatives when it comes to comics, movies, music, etc etc is they generally don't actually know anything and are all complete posers compared to true fans

If I had to guess my number is probably at a dozen? Once you get into historical games it goes fast 😶‍🌫️

Today in Historicals, Mugginns gets into the weeds about his Slovak Rapid Division minis!

Could you help us out and sign up to be notified for our Women of WW2: Resistance Kickstarter? It's gonna struggle with promo on some places as they are antifascists fighting fascists - Nazis, and I don't want to dumb it down with n*zis or Schmazis or whatever www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

We get out the Khaki shorts and take a look at Victrix 12mm 8th Army Infantry

(Pace salsa voice) NEW YORK CITY!

Mike Johnson brazenly lies: "We are not cutting Medicaid. The president has said that and I have said that. We're all said that. We're strengthening the program."

BREAKING: New copy pasta just dropped. @britculpsapp.bsky.social @spacelawshitpost.me

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

The Peace Candidate.

www.goonhammer.com/goonhammer-r... Check it out! @goonhammer.com reviews a hotly-anticipated new middle age ruleset, Pillage. It's well worth picking up, and at 15-30 minis per side, it's easy to get going. #victrixminiatures #pillage
