Painted the new Geomancer. GW seem to have forgotten about giving them 40k rules (why do you hate Necron Kill Teams, GW?), so I guess they're a spare Technomancer for now. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

A Necron Geomancer, showing off his pet rock.

There's often some nuance to these cases which the defendant isn't really motivated to publicise (my guess is its more about *how* they were selling them than the models themselves), so I tend to take such statements with a pinch of salt. But yeah on the face of it this is dumb and bad.

Probably Chess, technically. Then Diplomacy, Risk, and some game I made up myself to let my Lego pirates fight each other. Warhammer 40k 2nd ed is when the trouble really began, though...

For a second there I was certain the sign read 'Stronger Economy, Stronger Bonkers'.

Except for Blood Angels - they just have a teardrop icon on their right pauldron because of how sad they are that people keep stacking them upside down.

I thought the 'Mountains of Madness'-esque setting was interesting, or at least would have been if it was a completely different movie that wasn't tied to either of those two franchises.

I've painted up a few sections of Necron Tomb World terrain. I originally wanted this just to use as background for photographing other models, but I'm now tempted to get a second set to use for Boarding Actions. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings

My #40k crusade group has started a new Nachmund Gauntlet campaign and as usual I’m writing a campaign diary at victorypointless.com. This time though I’m trying to keep everything in-narrative so it can be read as one continuous story. First 3 entries up.

It's exactly what I thought they'd be like, but even I am amazed at just what a long string of completely unforced errors they've managed.

Ten years ago, I'd have said there's no way anybody could really be that stupid, he must just be putting it on as engagement bait.

It's been a rough decade.

As a wise man once said; 'Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four bio-adapting a giant monster with scythes for hands'. Or something like that, anyway.
