Had an amazing weekend at the Shadowcon narrative event for AoS, five great games against lovely people, and lots of fun solving puzzles and trading relics. #ShadowCon25
My Seraphon army on its display board. They are painted in a pink and blue colour scheme with white cobblestone bases. My Slann starmaster model. The Slann has been replaced with a Tzeentch wizard holding a frog mask in front of his face. He is posed in front of a ziggurat terrain piece. A photo of one of my games. Three skeletons are standing in the arch of a bridge terrain piece. A photo of one of my games. An aggradon lancer is facing off against a wolf rider.

Lots of effort went into this series, why not give it a click (if only for all the pretty pictures of stormcast and extremely cool header image Rob drew)

Black Library do such lovely work with these limited edition hardcovers and it’s really exciting to see my first in the wild. Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is up for preorder next Saturday!
A limited edition copy of the novel ‘Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen’ by Chris Thursten. A stylised relief depicts a horned woman in armour flanked by a burning spear and her war-beast.

I think the wargaming community need to move past the;

'Don't tell my partner how much I spend on my hobby' jokes.

I mean, dysfunctional relationships are kinda funny, I guess?

I'm not very good at this sharing links lark. Over at Agents of Sigmar we recorded a couple of videos about the latest #Warhammer Underworlds warbands and deck Kamandora Blades and the Raging Slayers! #whu

Spent some time this week revisiting some of my fyreslayers, which were the first army I painted for AoS, and refreshing the basing and some of the highlights. First time I've gone back to an old paint job, but I'm much happier with them now.
A magmadroth and some hearth guard berserker models from Games Workshop. The magmadroth is painted bright orange. Two magmadroths and some hearth guard berserker models from Games Workshop. The magmadroths are painted in a red and green colour scheme.

Finished a unit of raptadons for my Seraphon. I love these models, but gosh they took a long time to paint.

Let us know how much you disagree with our toxic armies tier list from the latest 3&2 pod.
threetwoaos.bsky.social Three and Two: a Matched Play Age of Sigmar Podcast @threetwoaos.bsky.social · May 14
Here it is, the AoS toxicity tier list from Episode 28. Now, you might be thinking to yourself "I don't agree with that and I'm going to give them a piece of my mind," and to that I say "all engagement looks the same on the stats page."

Hope you enjoyed the episode, let us know what you thought!

Great weekend at Mercia Madness, went 3-2 and got best painted and best overall. Five fun games against lovely opponents.
Two gold warhammer shaped trophies, one labelled best painted and one labelled best overall. The Be'lakor model from Games Workshop is standing between them.

I did a hobby blog covering the mastodon build! Hardship, anger, pretty miniature photos, a brief explanation for why long thin resin parts warp. It's got it all.

My main AoS project this year is to expand my Seraphon army out to 2000 points, this bastiladon is the first new model I've added.

Got my Kruleboyz tower painted up, think I'm out of excuses for not getting them on the table now.
#WarhammerCommunity
The Kruleboyz terrain piece from Games Workshop. It's a wooden tower with a swampy base. There's a crude wooden face at the top which is painted purple.

I got to paint the new Doom Diver Catapult and Frazzlegit Shaman on War-Wheela for @goonhammer.com! These things are amazing, so much texture and character. Check out my review here: www.goonhammer.com/age-of-sigma...

I was convinced by @scops947.bsky.social to do Iridan as a painting project instead of, you know, anything that might be good in AoS. Thankfully, they are quite fun and quick to do
