Those were the days:

My daughter is home from university for the summer and said she had been craving haggis and Scotch eggs for months, so this is how we spent our Sunday morning: #HaggisIsNotADare #BritishCuisine #ScotchEgg #Delicious #DontJudgeItUntilYouTryIt

A photo of a white plate with roasted Brussels sprouts, potatoes and haggis, and a cut-in-half and perfectly gooey Scotch egg.

Five-player Gorkamorka games are a bit much. If you try one, you should definitely limit mob sizes. All the games today were great, but the three-player game where we fought over a wrecked fort was the best: #Gorkamorka #Warhammer40000 #Orks #MadMeks

A beautifully-crafted miniature scrap fort with plumes of smoke rising from it is beset by the ramshackle vehicles of green-skinned Ork mobs who are battling each other in the surrounding desert for control of the derelict prize!

HUMAN ARTISTS OF EARTH! use only one photograph of tiny painted toy soldiers to convince people to follow you.

A Blood Bowl coach model using the body of an Imperial Nobility thrower with the right hand holding a book from a Warhammer Empire Wizard and the bespectacled head from the Steam Tank Commander. All painted in glorious purple and yellow with teal details. The book is painted to resemble last edition's Blood Bowl Rulebook and is shown in detail in a box in the upper right.

Today's #BloodBowl game was a one-off, practice game. My brother joined a league with a few Lizardmen players and knows his #OrcTeam will struggle against them, so he asked me to dig out my half-painted #LizardmenTeam for a game. I'm afraid it was a brutal 3-0 victory to the Lustrians. #Warhammer

This is coup preparation. There's literally no other reason for this. They're planning for an *internal* conflict within the US military and are using this as an excuse to arm their loyalists for it.

Our military installation have been turned into gun-free zones-leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.

Have a Blood Bowl Sports Wizard (with fire-football) and my Ventrilly 'Un Ork. And feel better!

Governor Cox's new campaign banner!
Red with "COX" in large, white letters, the O being replaced by the symbol of the mustache man, all over the text "Concentration Camp: Approved!"

CygnusMaximus@cygnusmaximus· Mar 20

Hey, @govcox.bsky.social, I have a great idea for your next political campaign:

A red banner that says "COX Concentration Camp: Approved!" and the O in COX is a white circle with a black swast!ka

Today's #BloodBowl game was my #OldWorldAlliance vs #BlackOrcs. It was an absolute bloodbath. I made a couple of plays "for fun" as a way to compensate for OWA's current power, and it ended up costing me the game (and my Mighty Blow Blitzer died)! Still a great game! #Warhammer #FantasyFootball

A beautiful Old World Alliance Blood Bowl team resplendent in purple and yellow and on cream-coloured stone-top bases that match the pitch they're playing on go toe-to-toe with a Black Orc team in black and yellow uniforms and on muddy bases with patches of dark grass.

Today's #BloodBowl game was #Halflings vs #Dwarfs . Losing 2-1 with Halflings counts as a win in my book, so I'm happy! I neglected to take any photos, so here's a repeat of my halfling team photo. #Warhammer #PaintingWarhammer #FantasyFootball

A glorious Blood Bowl Halfling team, resplendent in purple and yellow (with teal accents), including a pair of treemen, tokens/counters, and Rumbelow Sheepskin.

Welcome to the kilt-wearer's club, sir! It's all downhill (and upwind) from here!

For no particular reason, here's an 1866 depiction of Cassandra berating Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in world:

Worth a read, I think:

Today's #BloodBowl game: my #ImperialNobility vs. #Orcs. It was a hard-fought game but a bit of a pillow fight. No casualties on either side and 0-0 at the end despite some clever plays. Still a good game, though! #Warhammer #FantasyFootball

A Blood Bowl Imperial Nobility blitzer, resplendent in purple, yellow, and teal, stands in front of a green, black, and yellow ball counter with his team and and Orc team duking it out in the background (all miniatures from Games Workshop)

A Warhammer 40,000 primaris marine colour scheme of quartered white and magenta, the chapter badge being a griffon with a swan's head holding a hammer in its claws. various helmet, knee pad, and pauldron icons are also shown in many varieties including white, magenta, gold, and black.

I am unaccustomed to my #OldWorldAlliance #BloodBowl team actually being good, but it was a 3-2 victory against #ElvenUnion in today's game! I also think my sideline staff brought be quite a lot of luck! #Warhammer #FantasyFootball

A purple and yellow team (Old World Alliance) consisting of Dwarfs, Humans, Halflings, and an Ogre square off against a blue, yellow, and red Elven Union team on a pitch of cream-colored sandstone.

I'm in meetings for work all day, so I had to setup for my after-work #BloodBowl game first thing this morning:

A full Blood Bowl setup with the Old World Alliance pitch, dug outs, tokens, templates, dice tray, and a platter of cookies.

And I just realized I never posted the best and purple one here, so here it is:

CygnusMaximus@cygnusmaximus· Jan 18

I made my #BlitzersBest logo in a few different colours for those who (incorrectly) prefer non-purple #BloodBowl teams. I posted my keg counters previously, if you want an example of what one might do with these! #Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity

Four logos with two Bs in a spiky font over a lightning bolt and ring with eight spikes, each with a different coloured background - clockwise from top left: red, blue, black, green

CygnusMaximus@cygnusmaximus· Jan 14

Newly labeled #BlitzersBest kegs and bribe tokens for #BloodBowl! They keep me from forgetting my inducements. Coins are from the #Necromunda Underhive Market. #Warhammer

Two miniature barrels with yellow and purple BB lightning bolt logos and three piles of miniature gold coins on light stone bases to match the printed board they're displayed upon

A WIP shot of my #BloodBowl Sports Wizard. It seemed appropriate that a sports #fireball would be shaped like an American football... #Warhammer #PaintingWarhammer

Christmas #Gorkamorka, anyone? It was a fantastic Rollin' Road game with the usual Orky hijinks. While my mob did bottle out, I got most of the Scrap, so it felt like a win! (Also note my crashed Ork Fighta - I love that thing!) #Warhammer40000 #WarhammerCommunity #Orks #Grotmas

Two Orkish vehicles resplendent in purple and yellow and laden with Boyz and scrap careen through a desert complete with red-spined ball cacti and a crashed red Ork aircraft in the background. In the far distance, unpainted Ork bikers pursue.
