How do I explain to the spud that this is a terrible design for a weapon & he should be ashamed for even asking for it? Where's Jonathan Ferguson (the keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK) when you need him?

This weekend's job was to finish painting and fit this replacement leg/parchment "flying stand" to one of Celestine's Geminae Superior.

The Hag Graef Heldrakes (well, half of them at least) would never cheat. What a shocking insinuation!

I am delighted to that practically all of the younger generation in my family have found joy in comics and manga. I only had a _slight_ hand in that... 😇

He's always been a favourite of mine too. Funnily enough I finally painted him up recently after owning him for at least a decade. He won the single miniature category at my local gaming club so he's still turning heads after all this time!

Has to be this one for me. I love the sense of massed infantry advancing, dying steadily but still coming. You can almost hear the Sharpe theme playing.

"Replace, Replenish, Recycle!"
This is the mantra of The Toilet Protocol, an initiative that I have been forced to enact in the face of continued cases of no roll being left in the bathroom and empty tubes left lying around like so much detritus.

Took the opportunity of a gaming day at my local club to get some pics of my armies. This is the first time in a long while I've had my entire Sisters army out. It's not big by modern standards despite being thirty years in the making!

I painted this #HighElf hero for my local gaming club's Single Miniature painting competition and it was fun/terrifying to really push myself. The shield was done by painting over an Averlorn decal.
