*mops brow* It’s taken days, but I’ve finally written the AI prompt that can generate everything I’ve ever wanted to see! The prompt: “literal dogshit”

Would absolutely love for Merlin’s fearfully ominous proclamation to stop being relevant every single day

Back in 1984 Citadel weren't yet producing their own plastic terrain for Warhammer so instead they recommended using Exin Castillos to create appropriately scaled castles. The Spanish construction toy had existed since 1968 and allowed for infinitely expandable fortifications worth fighting over!

My latest interview is with Matt Ralphs: a former Black Library author & editor behind special projects like like the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer! On YouTube now, and when you're done there's bonus footage available at my Patreon #WarhammerCommunity youtu.be/irVHWLQ89fA

Now listening: Starship Troopers By Robert Heinlein A classic of sci-fi literature that explored some similar ground to the later Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, even if it wasn’t a direct influence.

Let's start the week with some Warhammer trivia! Which of these Warhammer book protagonists has never received an official Citadel miniature? Find the answer in the replies, and the rest of this week's FREE quiz at Patreon.com/JordanSorcery #WarhammerCommunity #Quizhammer

A couple of promotional pieces from the 2011 release of Dreadfleet! Some brilliant John Blanche art and a couple of cool captain characters only added to the excitement for the naval combat game. #WarhammerCommunity

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

What is the official definition of a ‘rogue state’?

Finally! A Tarellian Dog Soldier as seen in the 3rd edition 40k rulebook has just been revealed. She's awesome and will promptly be joining my Tau army! #WarhammerCommunity

Love these lads! Citadel’s 1986 BC6 boxed set of Chaos Dwarf Renegades #WarhammerCommunity

I’ve posted a rambling little video/blog of my GW and Warhammer predictions for 2026 exclusively for Patreon supporters. I’ve probably played it too safe, but I want to score major points this year! www.patreon.com/posts/148208...

100% same

Always worth checking out Zekiel’s thoughtful WFRP reviews

In my latest interview I got to speak with GW legend Marc Gascoigne about some of the classic Games Workshop boardgames! We talk Chainsaw Warrior & the work of Stephen Hand, unpublished Frankenstein, and other lost gems. youtu.be/-5YqyQVespA #WarhammerCommunity @gravesnailyard.bsky.social

Warhammer Fantasy characters as Queen songs, a thread. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer #TheOldWorld

What’s the best TTRPG for replicating Agatha Christie style mysteries? No supernatural or eldritch elements, etc.

Just finished the ‘recent’ adaptation of Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? and enjoyed it for the most part. Written & directed by Hugh Laurie no less. Can’t help but think the leads would have been perfect for Tommy & Tuppence though!

Citadel sculptor Norman Swales was responsible for some of the finest straight line work in the game: from the classic Empire War Wagon to the Epic Leman Russ to Empire ships for Man O'War. Before working at GW he illustrated the Hinchcliffe catalogue & after he worked with the Perry's. #Warhammer

Fascists like to use symbols that both evoke previous fascist projects but also have a wider history. This allows them some plausible deniability as they can appeal directly to their fellow fascists whilst normies treat it as innocuous.

Decided to revisit Herk Hervey’s 1962 psychological horror Carnival of Souls. Although it can be a little ponderous at times there’s some fantastic tricks in it, and an escalating dread that makes it well worth watching. And that poster is just terrific!

Some Norty Krupps Corp figures from @diehardminiatures.bsky.social along with a Toadthulhu, plus two space zombies and a cultist from BMT3D that I'm adding to my Chainsaw Warrior figures along with @jordansorcery.bsky.social's Talis the Toad for the shelves!

Time for a little Warhammer trivia! Only one of these models from Citadel's 1988 Fantasy Miniatures book was painted by John Blanche. Which one? Find the answer in the replies, and the rest of this week's FREE quiz at patreon.com/JordanSorcery #WarhammerCommunity #Quizhammer

This year I’m looking forward to exploring the history of Nigel Stillman’s classic game of Warhammer naval combat: Man O’War! These Bretonnian Corsairs are some of the finest on the seas!

Started the weekend with a dark fantasy fable! The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey was a fascinating feature, one that apparently secured writer/director Vincent Ward the Alien 3 job. That monks-in-space project didn’t work out, but Navigator still stands as a notable success in its own right.

Thinking of Taskmaster: Champion of Champions, I wonder if there’s a plan to eventually make a The Traitors: Traitors Return season. All former Traitors brought back for a fresh game.

Just revisited a couple of X-Files episodes in my S7 rewatch, one amazing, one appalling. X-Cops is a remarkable work: lean, smart, innovative, and an utterly unexpected crossover with COPS. Timeless First Person Shooter meanwhile remained an utter cringe fest & possibly worst episode of the show

Now that Lego are making light up smart bricks how far away do we think we are from light up bits on Citadel sprues?

Finally indulged in the @2000ad.bsky.social Christmas prog and had a thoroughly good time! Was especially looking forward to the Hawk the Slayer strip by @agentofweird.bsky.social & @stazjohnson.bsky.social, and it delivered in spades! Great fantasy action!

Chaos Marauders is the perfect game for a snowy midwinter’s eve: my Skaven fire-throwers just accidentally set light to my entire orcish battle line and burned the whole place down. Toasty.

New reading: Witch Hunter / C.L Werner (2004) I enjoyed Werner’s Mathias Thulmann witch hunting short Meat Wagon for its pulpy action and have heard this novel offers some good fun. Looking forward to finding out for myself! #WarhammerCommunity

I was never the biggest fan of Seven in Voyager - her costume always felt unnecessarily cynical & there was a bit of Mary Sue-ven about her brilliance in everything. However, her arc in S4 is much stronger than I recalled, and her personal climactic episode “One” does a great job tying it together.

I’ve not been able to do anything else all day because I watched Avatar: Fire & Ash

I’m planning to spend a lot of time with LOTR next year, including with this lovely 1985 Fellowship boxed set from Citadel #WarhammerCommunity #LOTR

I was not a fan of Glass Onion so I approached Wake Up Dead Man with trepidation. Thankfully I found the mystery plotting far stronger and the religious themes very rich. It was altogether a much more Christie-an affair.

I love the Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films, but I didn’t realise that Jared Harris (Moriarty in the 2nd) redubbed the ‘man in shadows’ dialogue from the first film for streaming & later home releases. Which is very cool for continuity, but means the original version is now basically lost media.

Check out my latest video: it’s a review of the Warhammer boardgame Chaos in the Old World featuring a little help from @shutupshow.bsky.social! #Warhammer Warhammer: Chaos in the Old World Review ft. Shut Up & Sit Down! youtu.be/zLiUcwRULx0

From Chuck Wendig: "Remember, the AI is fed with the work of actual humans. Why do you think that is, exactly? "If you use it, it means you’re replacing people. "People who could’ve done the job better. "People who actually did the job, and now their work is pilfered and duped."

In the mid-80s Games Workshop ran multiple full-colour advert pages in almost every monthly issue of Dragon Magazine One canny sales tactics was the rebranding of existing Citadel Miniatures lines as 'The European Range', with some beautiful miniatures photographed for the ads #WarhammerCommunity

Hawk the Slayer features lots of great band photos for a glowing NME article

I hope everyone who is celebrating Christmas is having a wonderful one, and everyone not celebrating is having an equally good time. For my part, I’m very grateful to have received some lovely gifts!
