Tonights trench crusade was actually between two friends of mine, playing Court of the Seven (with some proxy units) and New Antioch. The highlight of the whole game being a Goetic warlock being blasted into oblivion off the central tower, after just TPing up there with the LT (the LT fell 12")

Trench Crusade board set up for tonight, I wanted to mix my normal fantasy and trench board stuff, and I think it worked well. Hopefully I remember to take some pictures during the actual games (I usually get caught up in play, and forget).

We are nearly done my season at work, just the last bits of maintenance and such. I am so ready for some off-time, being able to sleep in, and then instead to tons of house maintenance. Also more time for nerd stuff, that will be fun.

I swear I do more than just play trench crusade... just not tonight. Had a game around some town walls, where my Heretics were victorious over the perfidious New Antioch. my priest pushed several enemies off walls with puppet master, my wolf did great, and the enemy LT hid under a ruin. Grand time.

A somewhat chill night, listening to podcasts and assembling some more miniatures. Most of them are reinforcements for existing trench crusade warbands, but I also had some objective markers. I am much more tired from work than I first realized, maybe basing will be done tomorrow.

Had a fun game of Trench Crusade the other night, using a homemade scenario with a randomized artillery barrage in between rounds. Even though I lost on objectives, my Lieutenant in machine armour soaked up 25 blood markers through the game, even getting bloodbathed to no effect. MVP.

Been a busy week or so here, but I managed to have friends over for some trench crusade last night, with a custom scenario I am in the process of making. Bit of a painting slump, but I did finish some wretched for my new Court of the Seven warband, so that's good

I recently got some Blood and Plunder plastic sloop kits, and I am busily converting one into a river ship for Mordheim. Using a bunch of terrain bits and bobs from the warhammer manor house kit, and generally trying to add battle damage and decay. Good times!

Well, the small local convention went well! I had a couple setups for Trench Crusade, and a table for Pillage and Dragon Rampant. I got in so many games of trench crusade, and am stoked for more. Even got to use my new grail warband (just a lord of tumours, and the rest grail thralls). Great Fun!

Getting ready for a mini-convention this coming weekend, where I am going to be in charge of the wargaming-portion (there's also board games, MtG, and other stuff). I am going to be setting up tables, and running Trench Crusade, Pillage, and Dragon Rampant. A bit nervous, so wish me luck!

Alrighty, finished my 2 Machine Infantry for Trench Crusade (Though I already had a few games with them in a half-painted state, and they did real well). Also, my local group has tried to resist, but we are falling into Mordheim, and I have begun painting my Stirlanders (running as Reiklanders).

This morning I saw flashing blue lights behind me, and was about to pull over, until I realized it was just a car with blue-tinged LED's going over a bumpy bit of road. Gods I hate blue LED headlights.

Well, for February, my local game shop has had a kitbashing/painting challenge to make a diorama of a "Duel". I have seen some of the entries, pitting Terminators vs Tyranids, Sauron vs Isuldur, and other fine proper entires. I went for silly with mine. Wish me luck!

Another lovely game of Silver Bayonet. I played the first scenario from the Shades of Calabria, killed the necromancer fairly quick, but I had so many random creatures show up: Grave Golem, Living Armour, Wolves, more Skeletal soldiers, and a Black Hound. Overall very fun and challenging. Cheers!

Today I had a solo game of Silver Bayonet, where my Duchy of Warsaw force was ambushed by a frankly troublesome number of werewolves. By the end, my officer and supernatural investigator were both reduced to a single health point, while being confronted by a sudden new werewolf. Very fun overall!

Here is fawn in our back yard who is also interested in my favourite bird: Quails! This was from a few years ago when there was a covey (flock) of about 40+ quails that frequented our yard. It was a lovely time.

When the world is scary, remember the helpers. Tell those in your life that you love them. And keep putting small bits of kindness in the world.

Had a great game of Trench Crusade yesterday, battling over a ruined plaza, with the burnt out husks of some small tanks. I played as Sultanate against my friends Papal States, and lost, but it was a hell of a fun time. Really enjoying the smaller (500d and 5g) games, and making more warbands.

Finally managed to have the Trench crusade games! with 500d and 5 glory, I used a Sultanate force for the first time, and just managed to squeak a victory against black grail, and had a genuine tie against the papal states. Very fun times, and I am now inspired for more terrain making and design

Well, I was supposed to have a grand day of trench crusade today, but I seem to have come down with a cold. So I suppose I will have to get some games in in the new year. Cheers all! Happy New Year!

A few of the finished minis from this month; a bunch more Pillage guys, and my first Quar. I have now finished the Victrix Rus warband that I got, plus a few extra figures here and there, and some Norman cavalry. I just love painting the dark age guys, there are so easy and quick.

Not too much new stuff in the last little while (I have run out of my normal shade wash thingy, and am waiting on more). However, I made this guy up a while ago. All the pillage guys I was making were going to double-duty as Lion/Dragon Rampant, and this bog giant is going to be a greater warbeast.

Finished my monthly challenge for my local games store, which was "New Unit November". I started and finished the unit of 6 cavalry for my Dragon Rampant army (now at 24 points of Cathay miniatures). I even put all the tufts on! which I have been negligent on for the last couple months. Cheers!

I had a great game of Pillage last night at the local games shop, just 250gp on a 2x2 board, but damn it was good fun. My Baltic tribes fought some Norse, and I managed to be the last chieftain standing. Now I am trying to finish my cathay cavalry for the end of the month. Just a bit left to go!

So I had a blast with the all-schmuck warband in Trench Crusade, but its not really the proper New Antioch experience. So now I am looking for good Heavy Machine Infantry STLs or kits to fit in especially well with my Wargames Atlantic ww1 French force. Any suggestions would be grand!

I have been working on some Pillage Wargame stuff recently, and also had a good game of it. We were able to play on my friends 2x2 foot board he made, and we just had 250 point forces, but it was grand fun. Also pictures is all my finished Victrix pillage miniatures so far. There are more to paint..

We did! I managed to finish my Lieutenant (on horse), and have a battle over a bridge. My forces died gloriously defending the bridge from the Trench Ghosts (fielded by my friend Thomas, who also took the pictures). I managed to just squeak through holding objectives, and take out his tank-priest.

I am currently gearing up for a Trench Crusade game in a few hours, and am still painting my Lieutenant. First time I am running New Antioch, and we're doing 500 ducats and 5 glory, so I just have a LT, 9 yeomen, and an A-T communicant. Should be silly (and I will probably be destroyed).

#Inqtober Final! all of the warhammer 40k pixel art drawings I did for October of 2025, and it was a grand time! Here is my Deviant Art, with better resolution, if you want to peruse it: www.deviantart.com/sleeping-dem... What's your favourite? Cheers!

#Inqtober - 31 - Inquisitor The final prompt of Inqtober, and I decided to do a power-armoured inquisitor. Her armour says Ordos Malleus, but her hat says Ordos Hereticus. Tomorrow I will post a full-page-final, with links to my deviant art (and better quality pics). Cheers!

#Inqtober - 30 - Chapter Serf A serf of the Iron Knights chapter, born from a long line of chapter serfs, and dedicated to the maintenance of the Godwyn pattern bolters of his company. I really wanted to show off the size difference between a normal person and an Astartes Boltgun. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 29 - Street Vendor To go along with the Festival Goer from day 9, This is the meat vendor at the festival. Another happy fellow. Perhaps they only get a shipment of real meat for the festival, and the rest of the year its corpse-starch nuggets or something.

#Inqtober - 28 - Abominable Intelligence My first thought for the prompt had to be one of these silly little guys. A robo-squat, with a pick axe. Such a good little fellow. I didn't have a template for the squats, nor the armour, so I had to do a fair bit for this one-off fellow. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 27 - Street Punk I figured I would make a simple Escher Ganger for this one, maybe a novice of sorts. She's only been in a few fight so far, though shes got some scars for it. I am starting to run out of steam a bit, but I think I will be good until the end of Inqtober. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 26 - Lexmechanic Just a low-level fellow in the adpetus mechanicus, showing off his scroll of mechanicus law.

#Inqtober - 25 - Joyride Pilot so originally I was going to try and paint up a vehicle of some sort, but that was going to be a bigger time-sink than I wanted, and then I remembered the Last Chancers from the old white dwarfs. Grease Monkeys crime was stealing an Eldar grav-falcon for a joyride.

#Inqtober - 24 - Faithful Retainer This is some sort of bodyguard within an Imperial Knights house, which I always thought was one of the coolest additions from the last couple editions. However, I always wanted it to go further, with feudal lasgun-troops in support of Knights. A man can dream.

#Inqtober - 23 - Scholarum Attendee Okay, I had a lot of fun with this one, mixing Warhammer 40k and Spy Family. I did feel the small Imperial symbol on her uniform wasn't quite enough, so I also drew her canine-servo-skull who helps her day-to-day.

#Inqtober - 22 - Domestic Servant I just had to draw a maid for this one, in some sort of fancy spire-borne dwelling. I tried to keep the decoration minimal, with only the Aquila being prominent. Also, some sort of eye-covering so the servant class do not gaze up at the eyes of their betters.

#Inqtober - 21 - Saboteur Some sort of deep mine worker, with a bit of a purple-ish look to him. I figured this might be some sort of true believer in the 6-armed emperor, or whatever local idea of the emperor they have on his planet. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 20 - Planetary Governor I wanted somewhat fancy for this fellow, like perhaps he is the governor of a small mining world or something, not big and flashy, but very comfortable (especially compared to the mining-populace). Also, big moustache.

#Inqtober -19 - Xenos Navigator Here is a jaunty Air-Caste Tau Pilot, ready to fly circles around the nearest imperial vessel (and hopefully not catch a broadside). Had fun doing up a new template for this fellow, and I will probably make more Tau templates, Cheers!

#Inqtober - 18 - Techno-Shaman I was reading lots of the Dark Heresy RPG (and Rogue Trader) in the lead up to this month, and I loved the description of Icanthos. Basically a world of mad-max warlords, and whoever collects the most Ghost Pollen is crowned the planets governor for the next 5 years.

#Inqtober - 17 - Priest-Militant This fellow is some sort of armed priest of his small order. Tall hat and boltgun seemed like a fun combination. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 16 - Lurking Predator Instead of a Tyranid or other 40k xenos, I decided to make this, a Catachan beasty. Just one of the endless predators on the planet of Catachan, it is a big-cat like creature, with a mouth like a sharks. Oh, and it leaps, out of the tall grass. Cheers!

#Inqtober - 15 - Assassinorum Student I went fairly simple for this one, just a novitiate of some sort of death cult. Their gear resembles that of other proper assassin temples, but is of lower quality (except for the blades themselves).

#Inqtober - 14 - Suspected Daemonhost So I figured, if I just drew a fellow with horns and warp energy, it would be more of a "Confirmed" daemonhost. This "Suspected" daemonhost is a senior administrator whose work is always beyond reproach, and yet results always lead to major logistical losses.

#Inqtober - 13 - Noble Conspirator A very fancy member of high society, with a grav-hookah of some sort. Now, when we hear Noble Conspirator, we think they are doing some heresy or something, but what if its a conspiracy to unseat a heretical governor or the like? That's what inspired this one.
