Hey #wargaming #Nerdlings
Anyone know of 2mm Napoleonic unit stls? Or top down Napoleonic unit graphics?
I'd like to play Blücher but without spending Cdn$100 per Corps and having to paint 100s of 6mm figures.

Interesting discussion with friends on Discord re: Montgomery & Market Garden vs prioritizing opening the Channel Ports & the Scheldt.
_IF_ MG _had_ worked, I'm thinking any exploitation from the Arnhem bridgehead would still be strangled by being at the end of a LONG ASSED supply line.

Damp?

How about the puddle of bin juice under the trash bags in the alley?

#Nerdlings #Necromunda
A pile of black trash bags jammed between two buildings. A puddle of dark, shiny goo is leaking out from beneath them into the loose trash scattered in the alleyway.

Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

The first picture is the single image showing the full tower and summoning circle next to it. The final montage image shows two views of the balcony including hatch, and the garderobe in full detail. The next montage picture shows the three components, along with details of the dormer window and well-used garderobe. The second montage picture shows the steps to the main entrance, summoning circle and the components as two twin towers - Prin’Gl and N’Tell-ah

Watch it, kid. This is Chemtown Blades territory.

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth
A low view down a wide alley full of leaking trash bags, broken pallets and forgotten shipments. Pizza boxes, recycled packaging and all kinds of dirt and trash litter the alley. Tags and names scrawled on the walls of the rundown, filthy buildings with the painted name of the Escher Matriarch of the Chemtown Blades herself overseeing it all. A higher, diagonal view of the whole alley. More of the trash can be seen from this angle, some piled up, some scattered. The sides of the two smaller buildings can be seen more clearly on the right. Dirty cardboard and other rubbish is scattered and piling up at the foot of the back wall and bulging refuse sacks spill from the gap between the two low, dirty buildings. A narrow, high view of the alley from above. The bright circle of a spotlight pierces the gloom, illuminating the filthy floor just outside the back entrance to the club, maybe from a searching hover. The Enforcers are looking for someone. Colours and shadow as the club's rear door opens, red light spilling from the recessed doorway on the left, lights visible on the rooftop above. Behind the graffitti-covered wall rise the corroded stacks belching smoke and filth into what passes for air around here.
