Posts about the classic Talisman: The Magical Quest Game and big fan of 2000AD’s Rogue Trooper. Other than that, not very interesting.
My promo toad for Talisman arrived yesterday (at great expense) from Gen Con. Pity these weren’t at U.K. Games Expo… 🤷♂️ 🐸 That reminds me. Have you found another 10 hours in a day to make Spelltoads2 @delaneyking.bsky.social and @fenrisgames.com?
Does anybody know how many ‘freebie’ intro Space Marines there have been at GW/Warhammer stores? The three I've managed to snag, are dated 2017, 2023, and 2026. So I'm wondering if there have been any more that I've missed from the intro guys? #spacewarhams
I have a desperate plea for those of you that know your Warhammer (and Horus Heresy) miniatures. I'm trying to find the lightning claws for the Space Marine on the left here, and am a bit stuck. I've found his left hand, which is the same as sported by his battle brother on the right. More...
I love a nice reference in miniatures! I also added the famous twins into my Kill Team Freebius, which uses all of the Space Marine Minis of the Month. #deathwatch #kitbash #spacewarhams
Has anyone seen any images of these four new "intro" miniatures that Games Workshop mentions in the latest WarCom piece about mini/coin of the month? I probably NEED the Space Marine for my Kill Team Freebius! #deathwatch #spacewarhams
Well, this makes me somewhat excited! #deathwatch #spacewarhams
Finecast Inquisitors done! Eisenhorn was kind of chalky and bendy in small sprues and Inquisitor Lok and his sentient bog roll was more like hard plastic with those massive tank trap blocks. I did not really enjoy building either of them… 😕
More fat-fingered hobbying over the last two days has produced a gang of Inquisitors to look suitably menacing alongside my Deathwatch. Two more to go, but they are finecast, so that’ll be fun… After making so many marines, most of these guys are tiny!!!
Well, it’ll come as no surprise that the Tavern in Talisman is a favourite haunt for us angry farmers… 🧑🌾 @nomadgames.co.uk
I thought I’d share a little ‘fat-fingered kitbashing’ that I’ve done with spare Deathwatch Kill Team minis and Assault Intercessors. Add a few 3D printed heads and voila. My Sororitas Deathwatch squad. 3D printed decals of SoB Orders coming soon to finish them off. (See how easy it is GW?)
I love it! Reminds me of when I needed a texture for a display mat for my Rogue Trooper minis on Nu Earth, which is basically a human-poisoned planet, so I made it from images of mould for the desert and bile for the ‘Scum Sea’, then used ripped paper for the coastline.
I thought I'd post up my new thing... Meet the unpainted masses of Deathwatch that I've made over the last few weeks with about the same amount to go. Today I finished up the five OG Deathwatch guys, or approximations thereof, so they'll be added to the roster too. #warhams #sendhelp #needspaint
Thought it was quite cute, then read "measuring almost half a metre long"... It's Duinclaw!
Just to say that the Wellesley Cinema in Wellington, Somerset already has a lovely Rogue Trooper-esque facade that would be ideal for a UK premiere for a certain new film! *cough* @manmademoon.bsky.social @2000ad.bsky.social It might be a little shabbier now, but war is hell...
I guess it was inevitable, but I see at least two entries on a well-known auction site that are selling copies of @manmademoon.bsky.social's /personal/ artwork for the new Rogue Trooper film. I didn't really want to draw attention to it, but they really shouldn't be doing that... 🤷♂️
There’s something rather magical about the sound of a Spitfire as it flies over your house!
Okay. I have a set of Breninmoor Hunt resin miniatures, including a bunch of Quogs for them to hunt, from Black Scorpion that I've had about six years and done nothing with. If anyone would like them (UK only sorry) for gratis, let me know and I'll send them out to you do with as you will. Lmk.
Today's lesson learned? Don't use a HomeStrip thinking that it'll be just like Biostrip 20. It's completely f*cked over 16 plastic minis by making them rough and brittle, and set me back with two of my projects. Does anyone have any 3rd Ed Tactical and Assault Marines on sprue?
My daughter decided to start an Aeldari force a couple of days ago. I think she’s going to go nuts now! #warhams
Also, on page 32/47 of that magazine there appears to be an advertisement for a game that El*n M*sk might like to buy a few shares in…
Another Father’s Day gift! 🎁 This time from my eldest! ❤️ Another Inquisitor for the pile… I mean force!
A tiny drama just now rescuing this little guy from the two small dogs this morning! 🐸 He could possibly be an unlucky Talisman player! ⚡️ Safely pointed towards the nearby stream! 🙌
A nice Father’s Day surprise from my youngest this morning! ❤️ I might convert Titus into his Deathwatch era for my force! ☠️
In fact, silly me, I've just ordered a transfer sheet to use. DERP! 😵💫
