Wow, hello bunch of new followers! Pleased to be with you on this ride. I do a bit of Goonhammer writing, mainly for Conquest and AoS. If you like Age of Sigmar I co-host @threetwoaos.bsky.social with two other lovely folks. Here's my favourite mini, a Wight King I painted last year :)
Some Liberators and a Lord-Terminos finished over the last couple of days :) #Nerdlings

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Unbelievably pleased with this, have barely stopped smiling!
Important (and late!) update: The Mighty Redeployers took home the trophy! 16/20 wins, an average of less than 6 VP dropped per game, and Mark and Phil both got their first 5-0s! Thanks to all of our opponents, the vibes were immaculate and the games were hard-fought ❤️

This weekend I’m at a narrative AoS event, @shadowcon25.bsky.social! I had to hurry him, but the Frazzlegit Lancer is going to be leading my Gitmob (aka the Sun Lovin’ Criminalz) on a mighty treasure hunt. What’s the treasure? We don’t know, but we could always use more sunmetal…

An idea for a "how to design a wargame" blog post has been rolling around my head for a while now, but part of the problem is last time I started, I added a joke "Step 1: Don't" intro and actually, like the best jokes and lies, it's got an uncomfortable kernel of truth to it.

Great weekend at MM3! Pleased to bring home the sports vote after 5 really pleasant games, and managed to go 3-2 (podcast number). The 4-1 was within my grasp, but didn’t quite get there this time. Stormcast still have some juice, but I don’t know if they have THE juice. Thanks to my opponents!
Rich and Laura have been at Mercia Madness 3 this weekend, 18-player GT in Worcester. Laura went 1-1-3, but enjoyed all of her games and felt like most of them were close! Rich did slightly better with 3-2, and also brought home the Sports trophy! Thanks to all of our opponents for great games :)

Hi folks, a bits box plea! I’m after some of this era of plastic wolf mounts, believe they were packed in with a variety of stuff. Don’t need the riders. Anybody got any kicking about? I could buy the Old World box, but hoping to find some for trade or cheaper before resorting to that! #Nerdlings

Shiny photos of my War Despot and Dominator Engine, painted in the scheme of The Forge Anathema from the new Helsmiths of Hashut release. Loved getting to paint these guys up for @goonhammer.com! The Tormentor Bombard and Infernal Cohort are on the way.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

the Black Myth Wukong devs were in the press talking like this too.

www.gamesradar.com/games/horror... "Though, Cronos: The New Dawn isn't a political statement – "no feminist agenda here," director Jacek Zięba swears to God while we talk during a recent hands-on event in California. "It's not like we hate ourselves, or males..."
Bloober's Cronos: The New Dawn is like Dead Space in Hell, but it has a cool female protagonist because the devs say that's simply "more interesting"
Girls just want to have inter-dimensional horror beyond comprehension

We need to stop using a framework of 'ChatGPT killed someone', it feeds into the myth of the system's agency & OpenAI's framing. The right framework to use: OpenAI is continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster. The oil pipe is not at fault when it breaks. The company that built it is

High Falconer Felgryn who just joined the pre-order ranks of the Flesh-eater Courts and was sent my way by Games Workshop. So I flew into painting him in purple with Citadel Contrast paints.
