Sorta: Archers done of a kit mix here. Also converted the (lovely) knights for squares too
Trump adding more gold to the whitehouse every week is like a running gag in a sitcom now
Great bit in James Marriott’s substack @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social Music taste by pop music fandom. Reform voters love Lily Allen apparently?!
Grey knight vs Genestealer Magus, from the Genestealer space hull expansion, by MG
One of my favourite tropes is entrepreneurs constantly reinventing the bus
Going to make these ancient space crusade tarantulas into pintle cannons for heresy land raiders, but such incredible nostalgia pieces!
Oooh Stephen King (yes that one) liked one of my recent podcasts, the latest series of DOCTOR DEATH
Ooooh, between DR DEATH: THE COWBOY, GIRLFRIENDS: TRUST ME BABE, COLOUR/CUT/KILL and U R NEXT, there’s four shows I worked on that are in the top thirty in the charts right now.
"So what you in for?" "Browsing a Québécois Website in English without meeting the set criteria" “You mean, “Naviguer en anglais sur un site Web du Québec sans respecter les critères établis”, bitch?” <Stairwell beating sounds>
Hands down my favourite law: Québéc's law preventing you from reading their website in English
Very sad about John Blanche passing. Here's a pic of the last time me and the rest of HATE (Hackney Area Tabletop Enthusiasts) threw dice with the big man, back in 2019

The other thing to say about this is: it’s good politics partly because people really care about this, but also because in the context of a mega-city budget, it’s nothing. Britain in particular suffers from being terrible at spending small sums on things that matter
A truly incredible Gaslands army crosses the TL, so good I had to share it
The level of antisemitism in cartoons of Zack Polanski is MENTAL. This is from the telegraph; but the inability of british political cartoonists to get the racism dial below "Der Sturmer" is truly incredible
Awesome day of old world narrative. Trying to get a prophecy from a grail chapel but there were A LOT of bad trees in the way:)
Finished my Knights of the Blazing Sun for an event tomorrow. Fun little 500pts including magic frog. Genuinely a question of the game tomorrow is will my witch Hunter and female castellan get to kiss (it’s a narrative campaign)
Post your warning sign (also worth saying for context, the tidal pool was a kids play area, so this sign effectively said “please don’t set sharks on toddlers”) bsky.app/profile/step...
A good mate sent me the cool lady head from the new custodes set for my knights blazing sun- a three part head kit!
Something in my occasional series reminding people I play warhammer- I’ve done a fun little cavalry patrol using the lovely AOS cavalry models for old world. Of course because I’m me, I’ve included a whimsical toad:)
Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild. My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing. Genius!
I always think I've hit the bottom of the institutional cruelty of the Nottingham murders, but then there's always new lows.
Maybe you're too cool to be involved with model boats, but that probably means you've never seen a Russian submarine being chased by an angry Moorhen:)
