New #Salamander Legion Consul for #HorusHeresy. Pleased to report he survived his first battle. A 8-3 victory against the #Deathguard. Killing a Master of Signals and accompanying Heavy Weapon Squad. Which was nice.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

For the US, Canada is the geopolitical equivalent of Ned Flanders. Sanguine, neighbourly, generous, basically impossible to annoy. And yet here we are. Not even a fortnight in. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Finished my Cargo-8 for #Necromunda #Wargamers. Have already used in a campaign last weekend. Very happy worth the model and how it plays in the game. Have a gunner and co-driver in the works.

What do they do when this doesn't happen? Just keep writing the same story and hope their readers don't notice or don't care?

#JimmyCarter’s letter to Matthew, nephew of James Martin of America Magazine. He had written to all living presidents for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Pres Carter replied. A search online found no similar letter. “It's a beautiful precis on how to live a life of service.”

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Morning #Wargamers. Back in the day on “the other place” #miniaturemonday used to be a thing for #warhammer and other systems. To get the ball rolling and to celebrate the new #mechanicum plastic release some greatest hits from my back catalogue.

I could not be more proud. We started 12 weeks ago today. We smashed through 250,000 downloads this week. In top 20 of all big charts every week. No backers. No money. Just three people in a basement, dreaming that there were people out there tired of tribalism and coldness. @pimlicat.bsky.social
