Joey’s 40-point Warband for Dragon Rampant, Thrakk’s Eye of Moloch. Some Orcs, Goblins, Skaven and a random assortment of Lesser and Greater Dæmons. What’s not to like?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode- no Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this one 37 times.

That’s 10 more zombies done for the horde. 54/61

Warhammer Underworlds is a really great game and we should play it more often.

Deep within the mountains of Tyrolia, an ancient, dark keep looms over a half-forgotten pass. The ruler of the keep and its village sends just enough tribute to the so-called King of Bavaria to keep his occupying troops out. It is, after all, for their own good.

Figure by Footsore Miniatures.

Some heroes and vampires that I primed black and drybrushed a very light gray as I continue the gothic horror project. The heroes are 3d prints of STLs from Lost Heresy Miniatures. The female vampire is from GW and the male is from Footsore Miniatures.

Otokar Knock is a foul and dreaded necromancer. His legions of undead stalk the night, searching for prey. Will our heroes survive their onslaught?

Just arrived from the UK! It’s only Packing Heat by @ioanmakesgames.bsky.social! I’m looking forward to getting it on the table soon!

If anyone has any 1st or 2nd edition era 40k Orks and is looking to offload them, please let me know. Joey is very interested in getting some more.

The Retro Watchtower from @doctorspork.bsky.social is all printed, cured and the dry fit is great! A large printer is necessary if you want to tackle this model in resin. I used an Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra and an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro for smaller parts. You can see I cut the base into 2 pieces to print it.

I’m printing the lovely Retro Watchtower from @doctorspork.bsky.social in resin. It’s been a great learning experience and is giving me the confidence to tackle bigger multi-part projects.

Joey and I had a nice experience visiting the Illinois State Library. We met a very nice and passionate librararian. We discussed her display of banned books for some time. We saw a microfiche/microfilm reader in action as well! Librarians and libraries rock!
