YouTube video by Storm of Steel Wargaming The Napoleonic Project That Took Over a Year – It’s Finally Done!

A photo of the front cover of issue 1655 of Private Eye magazine. The main headline reads "STARMER: UK WILL RECOGNISE PALESTINE." Below this is a photo showing a devastated urban landscape of destroyed buildings, over which a speech bubble from Benjamin Netanyahu in the foreground says, "No one will recognise Palestine after I've finished with it."

I just shared one of my latest WIP articles on Patreon - a start at teasing out some of the connections between Dune and 40k, with a particular emphasis on David Lynch's 1984 adaptation.

With The Naked Gun back in cinemas this week, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of supporting decades-old satirical institutions full of in-jokes.

In completely unrelated news… IT’S PRIVATE EYE WEEK!

New issue in shops and with subscribers from Wednesday.

Are Warlord saying that Japan has only been at war for 5 years in 1947? Despite it also occupying parts of China?

When I do my Konflikt 1847 with the Raj vs Sikh Empire vs Afghans vs China vs Tsarist Russia, I'll probably make similar errors I suppose.

Four units of painted wargames figures

A big batch of Anglo-Saxons finished - 5 units of Housecarls, 5 units of Fyrd, two units of Archers, and a Champion.

Figures are mainly Gripping Beast plastic with the odd other bit, and some metal from Athena, Black Tree, and maybe others.

At this time of year, it's important to think of those less fortunate than ourselves. Happy Yorkshire day to those on the east side of the Pennines. #Lancashire

That is such a cool way to make the army more 'blood axe'. The Orks don't get nearly enough love these days. Shame.

I actually would like to see a guillotine in Picadilly, metaphorically speaking. No actual heads off, just no more Royal family.
