This is really nicely done. i bet it was fun to play!

Ed Maxwell @edpaintskrieg.bsky.social · 1d

Played a really close fought game of 40K, representing part of the Armageddon War. My opponent has never used the mission deck before but agreed the Tactical Secondaries added a huge amount to the game. It was tactical and cutthroat, but my Steel Legion edged a win over his Orks, 76-53.

A Cityfight board ready for a game of 40K. Two main streets run the length of the board, with ruined buildings everywhere. There are Orks in the bottom right of the picture, and a Steel Legion in the top left.

The huge armoured form of Gazgkhull Thrakka and three armoured Mega Nobz stomps through the street.

A Leman Russ Demolisher begins a flanking attack, as two Vulture gunships sweep in and launch the first of a series of devastating airstrikes.

A Chimera disembarks a squad of infantry onto the central objective.

📌I have HAD it with these damn farmers.
They proudly voted for a racist, con artist, who is now screwing them. They will do it again after he gives them welfare checks they claim to hate so much.
Biden and Democrats actually supported them, and now WE are paying for THEIR ignorance and racism.

No burned cakes but oodles of atmosphere with this Footsore 28mm Alfred figure, accompanied by a standard bearer from Gripping Beast and a Crusader Miniatures priest from North Star Military Figures.

Hmm... I should make another battle report some day.

While it takes a fair bit of time, I remember really having fun with this Dust Warfare after action report!

A top down photo of a game of Dust Warfare in progress. I've added things like arrows to show movement, and little muzzle flashes and explosions to show who is attacking who, and damage done.

The table is made up of a crossroads and a number of ruined buildings, surround by trees and hedgerows.

A small (150 points) SSU army for Dust Warfare. Two squads of infantry, two "gun tractors" and an artillery walker. They're placed on my friends game table, that's themed to Weird War II.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well.

So Is The Military Ready To Rise Up Behind Trump?

In a snapshot that perfectly frames the recent “gathering of generals” in the US, Trump openly threatened to fire all US generals he “doesn’t like”.

This is basically civil war.

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · 13d

I am once again asking the Democratic Party to believe this man when he says he wants to declare war on us.

If you know anything about how Trump operates, he will always tell you what he wants to do, and then *try and do it*

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

This is financial, not terrorism, is my guess.

There's no $ in crashing NYC's 911 service. But there is in sending 30 million scam texts to 30 million idiot grandmas per minute.

Luke Steuber @lukesteuber.com · 20d

This is a picture of the cellphone cache they found in NYC and holy shit. All of those little chiclets in the rack cases are SIM cards; apparently the rig could send 30 million anonymous texts per minute

Rows of black metal racks filled with hundreds of small red SIM cards plugged into USB modem trays. Each shelf holds neat grids of these devices with antennas sticking up, all connected with cables. The setup stretches down the length of the room

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic
