Just finished my ratling squad (all metal) for my 3rd edition 40k Imperial Guard army. Absolutely love the character in these minis and the little touches the sculptors added like the apple core.

I decided to get myself a carry case from Element Games for travelling with un-magnetised models. For £36 it's decent, being able to carry approx 72 minis (28mm). I filled it up with minis and did a shake test, including gently throwing it across the room, and nothing shifted inside. Can recommend.

I popped down to Durham for some Christmas shopping today, and had a quick word with my pal Bede (The Venerable) at Durham Cathedral while I was there.

This was one of my favourite moments from last night's Mordheim game. The Thing (aka, Turkey Man) has just walked down the stairs and is eyeing up his next meal. The skaven have the chance to charge him as a group and overwhelm him, but all bar one rat fail their fear test so fail to charge!

Tonight me and my mate played the Thing in the Woods Mordheim scenario. The two Things definitely had the best of it! Turkey Man ate two skaven, while the wolfman killed one of my swordsmen.

I've just finished painting up Sandor the werewolf from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, just in time for him and Turkey Man to travel to Mordheim tomorrow night. They will be haunting some ruins and hunting some unsuspecting warbands who dare enter their territory.

I have had a cracking afternoon playing 3rd edition 40k. My guard versus the sneaky Eldar. Great fun was had. I do love these older games.

As I'm in between doing some warbands and terrain for Mordheim I thought it'd be a fun palette cleanser to add some units to my long-running 1809 Napoleonic project.

One of the Instagram comments by the creator of this game was that they used AI images as they couldn't afford human artists.
I can't afford to live in a palace. Doesn't mean I go and take someone else's and call it mine.
A simplification and an exaggeration for sure, but is it really?

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

At the moment I'm enjoying adding one-off characters to my Mordheim collection. This is a Questing Knight who has wandered into the City of the Damned and is now hiring himself out as a sell-sword while he continues his epic quest.

A couple of days ago I was on a walk past Rievaulx Abbey - it's a lovely location. Well worth a visit.
