So after a day and a bit of building I can say i am disappointed in operation artemis. There is good here. The rules are great, lightweight and look to be really good fun. The PHR unit models are great and once I figured out how they went together the rest were smooth builds.

update on my last post. seems that there are not box specific build instructions up yet on the @ttcombat site. The link on the product takes you to the list page but nothing specific. Oh dear...

so operation artemis from @ttcombat arrived yesterday. hmmm. mixed feelings here. Positives first. The models look decent quality and cannot see flash or obvious seam/mould lines yet but will see. Rules look decent and I like the 'go loud' mechanic. the cardboard terrain

OUR FIRST IN-HOUSE DESIGENED MINI! Sarah The Fearless - Styled after our very own customer service champion Sarah, this figure was created in recognition of her tireless dedication to helping our community—even when faced with rude or aggressive individuals. #miniatures #warhammercommunity

Forgot to post these the other week.

First song on the new writing playlist. Damn @starlightdaryl.moe this is an amazing piece!!

Progress in the Fortified Manor/Watchtower kits from GW. This took forever and was honestly a bit dull to paint but I am happy with how it's come out :) scatter terrain by GW, @fenrisgames.com and @badsquiddogames.bsky.social backdrop by @handiworkgames.bsky.social ##nerdlings #jhbackdrops

Popping back on here again after a break to share this! I nurglefied the new Chaos Knight Ruinator to add to my Death Guard army! Hope you enjoy the easy painting guide! model sent by Warhammer! #adwip #warhammercommunity #chaosknights youtu.be/8gs-Ri966OA

Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy very kindly provided some paint for our 24hr charity event helping the players get a great finish on their minis 😁 Get Two Thin Coats paint here www.mightylancergames.co.uk/collections/... The Just Giving page for the event - www.justgiving.com/page/east-yo...

Be interesting to see how this plays out. Assuming I can actually find #EIHL coverage next season... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ice-ho...

My god! A sensible policy from him at last. I'd go further and also mandate the inclusion of a water butt in all new builds as well. #labour

Massive Attack - Teardrop 💧

Working on this one from crooked dice. Just for fun though could fit in silver bayonet. Layering up stage next. #miniatures

One down. Two to go. Not sure yet whether to put them on little bits of plasticard for stability and maybe add a little moss on the top. #miniatures

Logged on to work to find nine requests for end of year feedback for team members, five four hour each training meetings and a veritable list of e-learning for a new app. Guess that's me working OT to actually do my job. #tomanymeetings #officelife

This is an instant buy for me. No one to play with but who cares#warlordgames #konflikt47

Working on a few Bushido bits this week. Accepting my eye dominance will stop me doing eyes well at small scale. #miniatures #bushidothegame

After many years, I finally have a fleet for Battlefleet Gothic. It was a joy to paint these models up, they are the Scourge Scenics Hellfleet range. This is the Thousand Sons' 1455th Expeditionary Fleet from the Horus Heresy, which operated on the Eastern Fringe.

Pretty sure the answer will be a 'no' there Wes. The largesse last year to buy things off was always going to result in this. Others will follow suit.

Another cybersec team banging their head on the desk and wondering just what sleep is. Having been in an IT team during one of these i have every sympathy for the poor sods tasked with fixing things

Possibly an unpopular opinion in the #warhammercommunity but I don't like the saturnine designs. Am all for slight silliness and OTT but they just don't work for me. As the box will likely be a lot I'll probably pass as don't think they'd suit my night lords.

And this boys and girls is why you actually consider your policies and not make stupid knee jerk actions. I'm all for WFA being restricted but do it sensibly and not in such a cack handed way you p*** a huge chunk of the electorate off

At times i wonder if this reality can become any more of a parody. Am no fan of nationalisation but water is the exception and this is clearly taking the proverbial.

Gods this is becoming more and more of a mess. Eventually a government is going to have to grasp this nettle and legislate.

Watched this last night. Very movement and a poignant reminder of the past

Had a moment of weakness and got Nanako. Forgot how much I love #bushidothegame minis and this is easily the best that I've bought so far. Hardly any clean up, great positive fitment and lovely details. Still WIP but happy this far. #mi iaturepainting

Hello Bluesky! We're a new micropress based in Tyne & Wear, specialising in strange and literary fantasy, horror and sci-fi. We're planning to publish anthologies, short fiction collections, and novellas, with a focus on writers in the North of England.

When GW sent me the new Sekhetar robots to paint up, I really wanted to see what they'd look like with a more traditional Thousand Son scheme. What do you think? Do you prefer the eavy metal ones? #AdWIP #ThousandSons #WarhammerCommunity

Really enjoyed @lazerpig.bsky.social vid on cultural Marxism. Don't necessarily agree with all the conclusions; especially re gamergate but I totally agree with the political position of 'ent'.

Five years ago this plant was a little twig at the back of the shelf in Morrisons. There's a lesson in patience and perseverance here. #plants #gardens
