I recall watching the Mutant chronicles movie that is loosely based on the games. It was... not great 🤣

Looking forward to the Warzone video, there was a short span of time when there were about as many warzone boxes at my lgs than 40k, but I've never played it myself.

Why Wikipedia editors have deleted entries from the “List of unusual deaths”: “hippos are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and there is nothing unusual about hippos killing people” “the man was working on the toilet, making his death inherently less strange than if he had been using it” “no longer an unusual or unique occurrence” regarding impalement by beach umbrella “being hit by multiple motorcycles in a race is not an unusual death” “fatalities involving objects or animals being launched into oncoming traffic are considered commonplace” regarding a Canadian couple’s fatal collision with a “flying bear”

recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

RFM 1/35 scale Sherman tank scale model work in progress

It seems a law of the universe that everyone who is even just vaguely into scale models must build a Spitfire and a Sherman at some point. I already have a Spitfire, so... Sherman it is (kit with full interior, not sure why I do that to myself 🤣).

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Oh and my recently painted Predator beat the curse of the 'new model syndrome' - not only did he survive all four games (one game as the last vehicle standing), he also took off a wound of Fulgrim and shot a few enemy characters to bits.

Had a weekend of Heresy at the Goonhammer open - my first four games of 3.0 and it was good fun, I like the new process of charging and melee, and there was a few times of head-scratching over the area terrain rules #warhammer #warhammercommunity #horusheresy

This was now the fight time I tried to upload this picture, why was that so difficult?? (Hence no alt text since I got tired of trying to explain it sorry)

I'm just using regular, different coloured dice collected from different games over the years. I've seen people use custom dice before but never felt the need to get even more dice than I already have 😅

Nonsense.
