Hello! I put together a basic 'So You've Left Hobby Twitter' starter pack for new joiners to Bluesky who maybe feel a bit lost. It's not exhaustive but should be enough to get a complete beginner started with a mix of content creators, writers and hobbyists. Please share around

Awesome! My ogres are nearly all 3d prints too (same parrot, just rebased as I ran out of time to paint another one before my last tournament)

Super easy to learn (honestly, I'm dumb AF at rulesets and even I learned it quickly), a fun beer & pretzels game at the level I play at - tons of factions from WHFB ports eg The Herd (Beastmen) but also Mantic IP (eg Nightstalkers, Twilight Kin, Northern Alliance). 4th ed is on preorder atm!

One of the things I like most about #kingsofwar is that nobody cares if you use 3d prints (even at official tournaments) so I can use this awesome parrot from 3dartdigital as a proxy for a phoenix to better fit my pirate themed (mostly official Mantic sculpts) army

That's MurderParrot, who is pretending to be an Ancient Phoenix :D

I have a bacon roll & a cappuccino at the caff in Asda before I go to games club on a Sunday, it's alright, nothing special but it sees me through til tea... today the coffee machine is broken, the rolls are tiny and the bacon fatty.

I couldn't decide between the winged dual wielding demon with jutting horns or the staff/claw & dagger with no wings and swept back horns so I figured

Oh yeah, I didn't make the flames :)

realironhand @realironhand.bsky.social · 1d

Ah OK - so if I wait I'll be able to specify a resin-winged production version? :D

realironhand @realironhand.bsky.social · 1d

I agree, staff and double arm combo for me. Don't suppose you have any of the 2023 winged ones knocking around anywhere? I like both ^^
