A friend gifted me a job lot of 90s metal miniatures that he got cheap off facebook marketplace. I’ve started to give them a glow up and I’m rather pleased how the first two turned out. #oldhammer #minipainting #wh40k

At least these guy’s wives know they aren’t having affairs when this is their level of OPSEC.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Continuing my #epic40k nostalgia painting with a Mole, Termites and a squat Overlord. It was only after i got the borers that I realised they were an imperial unit rather than a Squat one. Looks like I’m collecting 2 armies then…

First model of the year done. Starting off with something I lusted after 30 years ago and finally got for Christmas this year - an epic scale Ork Great Gargant. WAAAAAGH!
