Hi everyone, I'm Matt!

I've been hammering wars since 94 and haven't yet really achieved anything significant with it apart from having a great time.

Ex GW staff, I now exist in the space between GW skirmish games and other systems.

Today i played Old World with my best friend @cyanid32600.bsky.social.

The table wasnt the right size, the terrain was salvaged together. We used half painted armies and new units.

Its the best game of Old World ive played, took me right back to being 11 years old - full nostalgiahammer

Starting to look into #nohammer26, so far im definitely going to be dabbling with:

- Arcworlde by @warpminiatures.bsky.social
- Konflikt 47 by @warlordgames.com

So #nerdlings, has anyone got some non GW systems they really love? Let me know!

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

Thats half the Arcworlde starter set painted, we'll be playing Troll Bridge in no time! #wepaintminis

Arcworlde on the painting desk, Guards of Traitors Toll on the build and Konflikt 47 on pre order.

After having a chat with some buddies, I think im inspired to do a no GW year next year (except for old world, I have TO duties.)

Can't think of a fun hashtag yet, but could be super super fun

Proud of this.

Gyrocopters and Rangers are dumb in Foray

Got some paint down on this beast, really enjoying the process and approach for Word Bearers and pushing myself with detailing

#StarWars granularity.

The real life parallels are frightening

If it wasn't for Rob, I wouldn't be running 30 player Old World events.

Rob indirectly gave me the confidence to get a scene moving on the south coast. Plus, he's a bit of a legend and super lovely.

And now Rob is asking for our help to do awesome things

Love that the 40k community was given Duplo drop pods only for the old ones to be repackaged for the 30k grown ups - GW saying 'if you cant play nice we'll take your toys away'

As promised, these are the lists for the top 3 at my event yesterday!

1st - Chaos Dwarf (non renegade pack)
2nd - Tomb Kings
3rd - Bretonnians
July 27, 2025 at 9:19 AM
Fire in Khemri; great day, great games, great people and a Chaos Dwarf win!
July 26, 2025 at 6:31 PM
How am I meant to get any hobby done!?
July 25, 2025 at 6:32 PM
All lists submitted, data is formatted - Fire in Khemri is a go (although based on factions Sylvanian Nights may have been a more apt title)
July 20, 2025 at 12:49 PM
Its the Entoyment grand opening today, massive congrats to the team for putting a jewel on the south coast.

Super proud to have 3 of my armies on display in the Old World/AoS section
