Final two miniatures for my Badgers and Burrows warband completed. Painting all of these has been a real challenge but such a blast too. Absolutely gorgeous miniatures from Rescale. #miniaturepainting #minipainting

Continuing to love these miniatures from Rescale miniatures, particularly these fighter mice with acorn helmets and conker shell shields. The objective markers are just a lot of fun to have on the battlefield. Who doesn't want to fight over a lobster dinner? #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Finally, someone said it! #minipainting #miniaturepainting #warhammercommunity #nmm

**A Report to the Emperor** #warhammercommunity

good news everyone! Wyrd Science issue 7 is @drivethrurpg.com's DEAL OF THE DAY! for 24 hours get a massive 60 (sixty!) % off the latest, best issue of the world's greatest tabletop game magazine! From Cold War RPGs to Warhammer's Rick Priestly, the Caves of Qud to Castle Rat, it's a banger!

Was lucky enough to review Space Gits for @wyrdscience.bsky.social Issue 8 (spoiler: it's awesome) and have also just finished painting up one of Kromlech's minis for the game: Officer Krunk. Decided to go full Dredd with the palette, "I is the LawwaAAARGH!" #minipainting #miniaturepainting

"Badger, Ratty and Mole defile the world as Mr Toad carouses in the Rotblack Sludge"

#GoodLuckHaveFunDon'tDie is tonally uneven, nauseous with ideas, with strong Michel Gondry vibes. But it is a heck of a lot of fun. Sam Rockwell is excellent and I love that it just commits to being what it is. I don't know what that is but it commits to being it.

Have absolutely loved painting up these miniatures by Rescale miniatures, from their Archduke Mousin range, for Burrows and Badgers. They'll become the scouts of my Kindred warband. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Received @cmyk.games Magical Athlete for my birthday, and it is absolute chaos. Played it three times back to back straight out of the box and already schemeing how to do better next time. And always, always, take Huge Baby.

Loved converting and painting this for #Gaslands. Particularly enjoyed using the Goblin Hobbies Stamper for the door decals. #nerdlings

Philippe Gaulier, clown guru and mentor to theatre and comedy greats, dies aged 82

Deeply sad to hear the news about Philippe Gaulier tonight. He was a legend in so many ways. My training with him completely changed the trajectory of my life and it still influences the work I make. There will be no one else like him. 🔴

Whilst not on a train, the answer is Gromit and Feathers McGraw in The Wrong Trousers.

NOOOOOOOOO #thetraitors

Some good quotes in this piece, if you ask me www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It's like they're unable to even consider Rachel or Stephen as Traitors. Despite Fiona, a Traitor, going full on at Rachel, and Jessie, going on about Stephen. #TheTraitors

this is like the wargames nerd equivalent of an anarchist feeling patriotic while reading about the Union Army during the Civil War

There's nothing British Faithfuls hate more than someone talking loudly at breakfast or making a scene. #TheTraitors

BREAKING CONTAINMENT: GAMES WORKSHOP being talked about on Radio 4 re: pre-tax profits. Around 7.23am. "It's all about the hobby" #WarhammerCommunity www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Oh it's the bloody chests again #TheTraitors

Noooooo! Not Fiona! Innocence is lost. #TheTraitors

I’m interested to look around and see if I can find the abstract for this as the article hints that they have broken down the research by genre and other factors. In any case it looks good for modern games specifically. Study explores wellbeing impact of board games www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looking forward to see @noreenmasud.bsky.social terrifying husk of a lemon pig regenerate into its new form as is the new year tradition.

Very much enjoying a first go at Ember Glow Games' Stack O' Cats! Great little dexterity game and lovely cat meeples (ceeples?) 😺🐾

Absolutely knew this was the next phase for mini painting. When you can't even be bothered to sculpt or paint. Personally I think this calls for a complete change in how we paint minis, something more stylistic, perhaps impressionist, to see the human touch again.

I'm sure I'm not the first to request this @princecharlescinema.com but would you consider a Rob Reiner memorial screening or marathon? His performances and directing. His work has created iconic films and memories, and I'm sure lots would love to see them grouped together. x

Awesome to be introduced to Space Gits last night by Mike @planetsmashergames.bsky.social. Drunken orcs, toppling dice, horrific shoota and grenade damage, and a couple of pints - sounds like a good evening to me.

"I'm in open rebellion"

…and here it is in digital form: the Senet/Guardian collab with all the best board-game recommendations.

Been looking for to this since @annablackwell.bsky.social mentioned it at Now Play This. Finally here! Can't wait to do PissRat proud.

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

Most viewed in UK news. Truly surreal. Io Pan! 🐐✨

Hail Pan!

I mean... no... I thought that was obvious. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked. We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

We need to make thinking and imagination FUN again because it bloody IS. Find a way to make bad music with pots, craft a surprise party for your parents, come up with all the steps to put a cardboard fort in your friend's garden, and before you know it, you can tackle ANYTHING ART IS LIVING 🧵

playing Nick's reaction to finding out Alan was a traitor to myself for the rest of the night. #CelebrityTraitors

He literally laughed when he had to say he was a Faithful. *How* did Alan Carr win?! #celebritytraitors

NICK NOOOOOOOOOO #celebritytraitors

Guesses on who the #Lewes #Bonfire effigies will be: (Former) Prince Andrew Elon Musk Netanhayu (if they're feeling particularly provocative) Rachael Reeves Donald Trump (obvious but a perennial favourite).

Saw @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. Loved Caravaggio lighting, Catholic reliquary imagery particularly in the Monster's creation, spectacular use of colour, and Kate Hawley's costume design which will definitely influence everything soon. This film is a thick juicy steak for cinematic anemia.

Probability wise, they should have least caught one traitor by blind luck. I think they are statistically the worst Faithful group there has ever been. #CelebrityTraitors

An absolutely outstanding conversation between @timclare.bsky.social & Irving Finkel tonight at Canterbury Festival. Loved the theory of "deep pointlessness" of games, Tim's recommendation of Magical Athlete (already on the Christmas list) and discovering so many ways to play German infrastructure.
