It's not gonna win any awards, but for an hour or so of mucking about, that'll look fine on the table and sling some lead down range.
Being able to just tack on a unit or two occasionally to a 'finished' army is really nice!

And this femboy, they're a guy but not a little birthday boy? A girl for the bit, the jape, the jest? But puppy. Which is good, because one can always rely on good puppies-

I love the QLT kit and desperately want to include one in a British army, but I can never imagine in what scenario I'd need one truck - a single target - carrying almost an entire platoon's worth of guys. 29 transport capacity is just goofy, I'm never putting that many dudes in an open-topped box!

It's only just now occurred to me that I can pay the command vehicle 'tax' on anything I want in the Bolt Action Armoured Platoon selector, so... realizing I can put the boss in a Sherman and bung something cheap on the table as well? I got printing last night!

Finally got the settings on the Halot-X1 dialed in. Don't mind the touched-up primer! I hadn't noticed a few support scars I'd missed during clean-up, but yeah... that is tasty. Looking forward to popping some paint on this Victoria Miniatures Van Diemen's World trooper!

This is something driving Mrs Sledge mad, too.
Her company's owner has completely swallowed the AI booster bullshit, so any time his extremely qualified, knowledgeable experts give him an answer he doesn't like, he prompts ChatGPT until it confirms he's right.
The team call it Yes Man.

New Imperial Japanese plastics have been on my wishlist for yeeears, so this? Yeah, I've been putting money aside for this for a while so I could splurge on pre-order day. 😅

I also deeply dislike the AI-generated responses in the YouTube dashboard that have clearly already been trained on my stuff; I don't think many would notice it wasn't me, by now. But want them or not, they're already generated. What's the kWh cost? How much CO2 burned for these useless blurbs?

As quick as they are to paint, I'm thinking the Automated Infantry are going to form the core of my British K47 army. None of this soft, fleshy nonsense for me - just cold steel and hot lead!

Now, you might think those dials on their chests are power gauges, or a settings dial for a Rift-powered automaton... but they're actually clocks keeping relentless track of when it is time for tea.
The @warlordgames.com Automated Infantry are some of my absolute favourite doofy robots.

Simultaneously the most arse-clenchingly fiddly miniatures I've assembled in ages, and somehow not as bad as I was expecting. Weather permitting I'll prime these guys tomorrow and have some fun!

...I'll take my Nobel Prize for Engineering now, thank you.
Woof. The Automated Infantry are awesome, but those resin guys in the British Konflikt '47 starter box look way, way more satisfying to build than these older metal ones!

Intermittent reminder that the last time she suggested we play a game she spent hours poring over my British collection and then went, "A Cromwell. You need to paint me a Cromwell."
Which she then of course used to great effect thumping my Germans.

Now, personally, I still like the Vallejo Khaki Grey look as the base of these uniforms, but variation across an army doesn't hurt - especially with as many infantry as you're likely to be painting for a Soviet force!
