Capes should make a comeback. I have an enormous, wide scarf that I throw across my shoulders on cold days indoors and it's wonderful; scaling that up to a full cape to go outside? Hell yeah. I don't care if I look like a 19th Century dandy, I'd be warm as hell.

In a prelude to our planned VBCW mega-game, a convoy of Dickinson & Morris Ltd supply trucks supported by Police & BUF Auxiliaries must make it through the village of Wetwang. Dockers from Hull and the Castleford Miners Union try to stop them. In the end they fought the law but the law won!

rubbing my face at the absolute state of things right now

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

I dunno, man. It just feels as though even allowing for the fact that your product could feasibly be of interest to women has the potential to open up an entirely new customer base, rather than being antagonistic toward the very idea. I've never run a company so maybe there's cooties on that money.

Just discovered that Mrs Sledge doesn't exist either. Father-in-law will probably be a bit miffed to find that out, too.

Got a better picture of infinity’s lament. I’m definitely doing a whole eldar force like this #Nerdlings

Well, I'd better start as I mean to continue. Newsletter #1 should be up and available to everyone from now! This one starts out pretty deeply personal - nothing weird, just... yeah. You'll see. Then there's photos of half-finished toy soldiers. www.patreon.com/posts/newsle...

Hope you're all recovered from the recent festivities 😁 To kick the New Year off there are two new medieval timber framed builds in the catalogue (and yes, the market cross will be following very soon). www.oshiromodels.co.uk/medievalbuil... #oshiromodels #wargaming #nerdlings

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Stay with me here. No spoilers: sure, a lot of it was pat, a little twee - the kind of ending you'd expect. But what worked was how all the characters had been through the wringer; it all felt deserved, built on. Everything had been earned, even forgiveness.

MwwwwwAH~!

Mum's birthday. She would have been sixty today. Weird one to navigate, honestly.

Other than sealant, calling him done. I'll deal with glamor photos later. #Wip #NakPaints

Good news, everyone! ...wait, that's wrong? Well, what the devil do the people want?! I see... bicycles for the mind, is it? Well, that's not how we did things back when Taft had his chunky digits on the tiller, no! If the proletariat want bicycles they should imagine them in their own time!

Don't forget to pick up Harlan Ellison's thrilling sequel to his classic sci-fi horror: I Have A Mouth aaaAAAAAAAA

you see me now, a veteran of a thousand kinds of Force i've been living on the edge so long where wikis and retcons roar i'm much too old to make sense and my scope's too broad for ease merch is all i'm made for~

It’s Monday again, and I’m going to continue on my Trench Crusade folks some more. Some are nearly done - some not so much. Come and hang out with me in about 10 minutes at www.twitch.tv/tabletopminions and we’ll make it through.

Accurate....

I have a fully grimed up one I’d be happy to share/loan/give away as I have nowhere to keep it!

These were the last miniatures of 2025. Really enjoyed creating this little vignette, especially the chap holding up the severed head with a smitk on his face. As usual lately the shields are hand painted, the figures are Footsore, Victrix and A&A and the backdrop is by @handiworkgames.bsky.social

Red Alert 2. No contest. RIP Udo Kier. Yuri was iconic!

It's the start of a new year and time for an all new version of Cold War Gone CoC²! www.flankmarch.com/downloads If you're a fan of Chain of Command, then here's what you've got to look forward to in version 3...

New year, old army! @northstarfigs.bsky.social Saxons from Crusader. I do love the Crusader ranges. All hand painted shields, went with fairly simple patterns. Lovely minis, work well with my style. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts

Oh yeah, that's the stuff. Almost finished #WIP just needs his base and a little fussing done and he'll be ready for photos. Yucky yucky photos.

Still battling on with the SCW stuff. Another International Brigades soldier added to the growing Republican force 28mm Ebro Miniatures 3D print.

First finished figures of 2026. Fleeing Victorians from @northstarfigs.bsky.social and Haitian Zombies from @brigadegames.bsky.social. They’ll see the table hopefully in a bunch of different horror systems this year.

I grizzle about a lot of the recent crop of GW kits and wholly unnecessary numbers of parts, but man... whoever made sure the current run of Skaven Clanrats are just two pieces to glue together deserves a raise, a knighthood, and a fatted pig.

If I were the Joker, I'd have spent my time in the carceral system in deep study, working extramurally until the point I could defend a thesis and gain a PhD. Then *every* encounter with the Bat would be, "Ah-ah-ah! That's *Doctor* Joker!" because it'd drive him bananas.

I always forget that not only do I bloody love the Krakenborn, but so do folks online. It wrecks my head when somebody remembers them - even more so when they remember lore or other details like that! This was the last one I've painted - last March! I need to do more, soon! #Nerdlings #Krakenborn

It occurs to me I do have these photos from... 2017, the last time I actually painted Death Guard for 40k. Still visibly my style, but the green armour is a little flat compared to what I'd do today. I'm interested to see what almost a decade of practice and new paints will turn up!

I'm a ww2 wargamer through and through, so I'm selling this piece on ebay ebay.us/m/KRTkKS

In case you missed it, the digital edition of Big Chain of Command 2 is now available for download. https://tny.app/4l8p4sik

This guy has always been one of my favourite of the 40k Death Guard stuff. I really love when 'basic' troops in an army still carry some presence and attitude. A little easier with elite stuff, for sure! Looking forward to getting some paint on him.

Geeks love maps. That's just scientific fact. And I'm a massive map geek. So here's the story of the map from The Last Vigilant (featuring @tybber.bsky.social): mark-latham.com/aelderland-a...
