Brother-Sergeant José ready to defend Rynn’s World.

Super happy with him, easily the best Space Marine I’ve ever painted. He definitely needs some friends…

Fort Bellerophon in now totally finished.

I definitely need more dwarves for the walls.

The female one is a lovely model. The other one not so much, a step too far in metal nostalgia for me. Though maybe without the giant hand/claw, he might be nicer.

The new bits definitely need a bit more drybrushing to try and match better. But otherwise the walls of definitely-not-Helms-Deep are done.

Hope my namesake has a lot of luck on the battlefield. Seems unlikely considering my luck…

I’m in a very Star Wars mood after finishing the Jedi games, so I’m rewatching some of the Disney shows.

Just rewatched The Acolyte so now even more disappointed it’s not getting a second season. Honestly think it’s one of the better Star Wars shows. Other than Andor it’s probably my favourite.

Now with sand. Be a minor miracles if this ever bloody dries.

The destroyed wall section. Definitely easier ways to make rubble, but all I’ve got is cork, PVA glue, and a dream.

A miniature wall made from blue stone bricks. The wall has a large section blasted out from the middle. The inside of the walls are filled with tiny pieces of cork.

Have also now finished Jedi Survivor (got them both pretty cheap). A far better game than the first one. Actually felt a little powerful. And it’s a lot more considerate of your time with checkpoints. Story was also much better IMHO.

Not sure yet how I’m going to make the mountain side on the backboard.

Bellerophon @bellerophon383.bsky.social · 5d

A vague layout for the display. All the plastic bits are going to get sunken into the cork. And I’m going to add more cork to vary the elevation.

Idea is the dwarf are coming out of a door onto the mountain. So I can add snow, and match their bases.

700pts of dwarfs, struggle to have more I think.

Glued and nailed the backboard onto my first display board.

The pillars should reach the top of the back board, once glued on, and the ground texture is down.

Honestly sort of fails the Jedi power fantasy test.

Just finished Jedi: Fallen Order, and it’s fine… I expected a lot better considering all the praise it got.

The combat is just so unresponsive and sluggish. And the lightsaber boss fights universally suck. Way too long, and the combat system barely rewards you for doing it correctly.

Building some ladders to help assault my walls. First one is a bit too tall.

bluesky will absolutely not believe this. at this point they're fully convinced people love federated network architecture

we don't even know what it is, we just want to follow cool people and post bollocks

Dawg the only reason your platform exists is because people like me who actually make good stuff were on it. Growth slowed and now you're sweating. This ain't the answer.

Made some, slightly dodgy looking, vegan sushi. I usually slice the rolls up a lot better, I might need a sharper knife.

Badly sliced up sushi rolls. A bottle of soya sauce is also shown.

Finally got a date with my friend to play a MESBG siege. But before then I need to finish all 4 feet of wall.

I need to build a destroyed section (I swear it’s not Helm’s Deep…) and 3 towers.

Be impressive once it’s all done, though not sure I have enough dwarves to, dwarf it…

Thank you. Both of these are pretty perfect.

For a variety of reasons I’ve lost motivation for the current rpg I’m running, so I’m think of returning to my one true rpg-love. And finally do some Cthulhu in Berlin.

Anyone know of any good 1920s ish civilian miniature? I think actually using models would really help my players.

From cover of the Call of Cthulhu rpg supplement Berlin the wicked city. Cover shows the head of a woman towering over a city scene. The woman is surrounded by yellow octopus tentacles.

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.

We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.

This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.
