them all over again. Seeing this Pope's views on Vance and by extension the US regime, I am really, really hoping we'll have Summer of Excommunications.
Not that I care much about christianity, but the Pope calling their bluff of hiding behind the "good christian" rhetoric would be cool.

Soo, the new Pope is having trouble with a hardcore traditionalist faction within the church, called the Society of St. Pius X, who basically want to revert the last 6 decades of church progressiveness... They were excommunicated once, but let back in. Apparently there's speak of excommunicating

Show your loved ones you care.
Show the neighborhood your kind weirdness.
Show the world your dark determination.
Show the forest your fangs and claws, and that you belong in the shadows.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep.

I wish more countries and organisations had leaders like Zelenskyy. He, and you all, deserve actual allies, not word of mouth cowards.

They are openly admitting they see the law as an impediment to imposing their will at this point.

They do not and have never care or ever cared for the law and it's management. They selectively enforce the law as a cudgel against their enemies. The only "core" they have ever followed is their hate.

We have the money, power, & means of feeding & housing every person, empowering every community, yet these people who torment us & our neighbors have been allowed to rule over us & kick our teeth in. We shouldn’t settle for anything less than a cultural revolution that makes these fascists feel fear

"Oh no! Sexual selection in action, evolution working as intended!"

Those two "top podcasters" are just whingeing birds that find their whiny screeches don't attract mates and thus there must be something wrong with the female birds hearing...

A messy miniatures hobby workbench, with on it: eight 14th century foot serjeants with swords and shields, their tabards and shields are a mix of basic designs in either red-white or yellow-black, the colours of the two variant flags of the Duchy of Brabant.

Another pic of a messy miniatures painting workbench. With a top-down view of 3 giant, alien coconut crabs with red-brown-blue faded carapaces, on industrial looking 40mm round bases.

Quick janky pics of my second Baron's War unit, the Serjeants, and a trio of sci-fi Hull Crabs that have lingered on my painting table for too long.

January is over so it’s time for a new comp.

This month the theme is…what’s wrong with you?

Your objective is to create a miniature with something wrong with it.

Glass hammer? Magnus the Bread? Dildo Baggins? Go wild.

Medieval commoners had a gene pool.
Nobles had a gene bucket.
But royalty? Royalty had a gilt spitoon...

Those fuckers went through their own genetic bottleneck, all for the sake of status and priveledge.

Yeah, I'd think so? The diagonal of a 40mm square is roughly 60mm, so to my brain, you'd need something between the straight and the diagonal size. Which would be the 50mm round, I think.
For the ones that seem small on the base, you could always add a newly corpsified enemy or some other guff.

A hunched over, gangly mech with elongated neck and faceless dome for a face. It's moving forward with one hand on the ground, with a back mounted drum-magazine cannon and shning attack claws from the back of its upraised left hand.

Hey guys, please share this - it's had a great response so far, but like we don't have a marketing budget, nor do we want to really advertise ourselves outside of the community (who we want to help).

I have my key with me whenever I go out.

Mediaeval Candlemas, 2 Feb, was marked by a candlelit procession which culminated in the priest giving the candles power over the devil. I suspect that many were retrieved and used to make apotropaic burn marks. More here: triskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/mediaeval-my...
