...and if it doesn't interest us, it doesn't and we can enjoy the various written versions or prior films.

Recommended. Don't listen to people on the internet, including me. Go watch the film. How often do we get proper heroic epics (non-comicbook/franchise/license), by a director who basically is universally lauded as being good, with a big budget? For that alone it should get us interested.

The Odyssey. Big heroic epic, one of THE stories of the cultural canon. Perfectly well done though. At some point I thought "oh, they're doing that like this? Well, that's an interestig choice...", only to realize after a few minutes as the thing plays out that it works.

If your sonic cleaner thingy does this it doesn't mean it's possessed or broken, just means it's Friday and looks forward to a fun weekend. Trust me, I'm the Mechanicum.

My last minute effort to learn the rules are only hampered by my inability to roll anything above a 3. DO SOMETHING, tiny men!

The table is set! Do I know the rules? We'll see...

Well, well, well, well, well, well. Would you look at that. I guess i need a coffee table now?

Clearly a spirit from the past wants you to help solve her murder case from back in April '76. A similar thing happened in Kentucky in the early 1990s.

Cheers! Yeah, my own ones (picture below, WIP shot too, never took ones of the finished versions! Yike!) are lighter, and I'm not sure that looks quite right. Also, the ones above are meant for autumn, where everything is darker. ;) Thanks for the picture! I really should go there some time!

Right, that's the Jägers finished. Perry miniatures, plus three kneeling Foundry Jägers. Standing-up versions are too smoll, kneeling ones fit rather perfectly actually. Pure magic (and lost on digital sculpts). Hope you like them! Next up: Loads and loads of Germans. #nerdlings #warmongers

+++UPDATE+++ Bin grad zurück vom Aufbau fürs Spielefest/E-Sports-Festival. Ich bin mit dem Club nicht im Tabletopbereich (da gibt's andere zauberhafte Sachen und Menschen), sondern bei den Vereinen auf Stock -2. Wenn ihr Lust auf Malen, Quatschen, etc. habt, schaut vorbei!https://spielefest.wien/

..nope, all dead. :D [4/4] Oh well. What can we learn from this? First, nothing lasts forever. Second, with most things, it doesn't matter that they don't last forever. I did listen to loads of old GW paints and washes glugging around in their bottles though. White's especially prone to drying.

I'm getting curious, so let's have a look at the other back-up paints box, the one with the good stuff. I prepare my smug face... [3/4]

Nope, sadly they're all dried up. One's shrunken down to a cork, the other one's not as shrunken and still very slightly rubbery, but also dead. Oh well. Nothing lasts forever. [2/4]

Well, that picture of the WIP Jägers earlier wasn't that good anyway, so here's a SLICE OF LIFE instead. I ran out of CdA Magic Metal. Off to the box with the not-so-oft-used backup stuff to get new MM. I stumble across never-opened bottles of skul white I acquired decades ago... [1/4]

Late #wip shot of a bunch of Austrian Jägers. Nice to do #historicals again now. Some bits still left to do, but I already did the basing (because I'm a maverick like that sometimes). All Perrys figures, but nicely cast. Anybody know if the molds were redone? Hope you like'em. #miniaturepainting

Komenden Samstag/Sonntag bin ich übrigens mit dem guten WoW/Keepers-Club am Spielefest/E-Sports-Festival im Vienna International Center in Wien, ich geh stark davon aus, dass wir in der Tabletop-Area sind. Es gibt Malworkshop, alle sind herzlich willkommen, es wird ganz wunderbar. spielefest.wien

Gosh, am I glad that youtube(tm) shorts(tm) got me covered when it comes to research. "How Austrian Grenz Infantry fought Napoleon..." Bless all the youtube AI clowns. They catapult humanity forward.

Heyhey! Weather cooled off a little, the wasp problem's been taken care of. So all of that is good. What's also good?Beastmen. Here's , #warhammerquest 's Pestigors and shaman Fowlhoof. Hope you like them! #nerdlings #miniatures #paintingwarhammer #ageofsigmar #nurgle #miniaturepainting #commission

This is what the kit looks like 'out of the box':

Late in the process I managed to damage one of the Iron Nails, but who cares. At least I got a "oh no, i broke a nail!" shot out of it.

Heyhey, more Warhammer Quest Darkwater (or DUNKELWASSER, as it's known 'round here) figures. Hope you like them! #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer #warhammerquest #ageofsigmar #nurgle #miniaturepainting #commission

New #Battletech Alphastrike #ScouringSands campaign game #battlereport: tabletopstories.net/language/en/... As always, available in German and English. Hope you enjoy the article!

Somehow this guy (despire the sword and all) just looks like the embodiment of 'pleased as punch'. #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer #warhammerquest #ageofsigmar #nurgle #miniaturepainting #commission

Always! WIP Acguy and Zudah (my own stuff for a change!), Imperial Assassins, Legions Imperialis Imperial Fists army, bunch of Battlemechs (alread a few months old). :-)

Today I learned why Schmincke don't put agitator balls in their aero color glass bottles.

John Blanche passed away. We all know about his iconic status for sci-fi and fantasy wargaming, with all the positive and negative that comes with that label. Looking at his work alone though, to me personally he will always signify the difference between illustrator and artist.
