Finished another project that had been languishing in my pile of shame.
Did my usual trick of painting completely different colours to the box art then deciding I hate it when I’m 1/2 way thru finishing them.

I have a Mordheim weekend coming up later this month, and I'm painting up some bits for it including this Norsca Warband - Sidric's Redblades. I don't very often paint AOS models but these were really nice sculpts.

Behold! The massive RPG Moral Panic video I've been researching and assembling for years, and why people who call the whole affair the Satanic Panic are wrong.

Time for this blog’s annual outing - busting some equine myths of the First World War.

Piece from me on how, leftish bias at the BBC should never be excused. But nor can we avoid the grim truth that the radical right is now a clear threat to independent journalism in the UK

Started Christmas a little early this year.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

A couple of #AstraMilitarum characters finished.
Painted quicker and with way less highlights than I normally do, they’ve sat 80% finished for months.
Thought I’d make that final push to make room for my next Steeljacks.

I love the ubiquity of musicians in warhammer. Imagine absolutely losing your. soul as a chaos worshipper, gone out of your mind, file your teeth, wear human skin, and then in the battle they put you on bongos.
