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.

- Arcworlde by @warpminiatures.bsky.social

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!

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

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

Its a personal hobby goal to go play in some sort of event at TSN, so any improvement to the venue can only be a good thing.

Go donate, so everyone can have more fun

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
