Lost my third character to this campaign, and the whole party at the same time...

Huge thanks to Debbie for running it - we had a lot of laughs along the way, even as our dice failed to save us at the end!
Last night's Dragonbane session saw the heroes entering some dark caves, losing their healer to a raging river and being eaten by spiders. All of them, 2nd ever TPK, and l was even trying to go easy on them. They will never know what happens to the Misty Vale.

Honestly, the miniature and model making folks on here are so absolutely fucking lovely, it makes me sad I don't use minis more. Sorry, it's not you, it's me!

Buy things from @fenrisgames.com @badsquiddogames.bsky.social and their ilk and embrace quality craftsmanship from genuine nice folks.

New blog post where I have a catch up, a little ruminate on what I painted in 2025, and have a look at some of the best things I turned out miniature painting-wise.

We're on to cold number two of this winter period. Mercifully just a dry cough and the sniffles, which is much more preferable to what I had in December...

More relevant than ever, and by popular demand: another LIMITED run of our Antifa miniatures shirt courtesy of SlowDeath Games. Available in red or black and several sizes.

Only in the shop for a couple of weeks so nobody's waiting forever for these to arrive. Grab yours now, terrorists!

Here’s the rest of the output from Tankmas - overall I painted up eight vehicles over the holiday period for Bolt Action. It feels hard to share them and be proud of them after this week's wargaming news regarding certain people at Warlord...

Here's the US.

Got the last of these wonderful ruins from @fenrisgames.com finished off this week.

Again, if you want cracking terrain, Ian’s got it in spades.

After getting over a monstrous cold before Christmas, I now have a sore throat again.

2026 can do one.

Absolutely fuming. Perfect job came up on redeployment. Noticed deadline was after my contract ended. Contacted HR to check elligibility. Got confirmation. Spent December contacting managers, researching the job, writing my application. Submitted before my contract ended. Now told I'm inelligible.

Today is off to a good start after I knocked my V20, went to catch it and spilt boiling hot coffee and grounds all over myself, the side and the floor... 🙄

anyway it's a new year, a year in which we plan* to release 4 (+ actually) issues, and so for the fifth year running I am on my hands & knees begging people to try sending us info about what they're working on, ideally 2-3 months before release

our inbox for all press releases is press@wyrd.science

Last day before what would be the return to work, but I'm now officially unemployed. Still working mind, though, just not getting paid for it 😂 Such is academic life!

Was hoping to get some relaxation in but the day has mostly consisted of chores and generally fucking things up...

My hope for 2026 is for people who only buy from the Big Boys to give indies a go, even if it's only basing/terrain bits for their GW armies. I guarantee you'll make a huge difference and who knows, maybe you'll really enjoy painting quirky sculpts ^^

I have been pretty lucky in life, but when I was about 11 I went out riding my bike with the brand new helmet my Dad had just bought me. Decided to go riding down the very steep hill at the back of the village, came around a corner with a cra coming at me, pulled the front brakes before the rear...
