Made the mistake of watching a Spikey Bits YouTube Short and he’s claiming GW are using gen ai to write articles and lore because of - em - dashes 🤦‍♂️

I guess my copy of Rogue Trader is clearly written by AI! As is this random WarCom post from 2020!!

Proper damaging clickbait with zero evidence.

I don’t know how you can de-brainwash cultists on that kind of scale

I don’t see how anyone could view it as a good thing unless they’re either delusional or stupid, or both.

I’ve never fallen in love a set of models this fast before. They’re beautiful 😍

He’s still at the just wanting to paint and use models that interest him stage. Hence the mix of Space Marines and Stormcast Eternals 😅

He does want a Dreadnought for himself though….

Played a simplified, micro game of 40K using a mix of models and fudging lots of things with my 6 year old today. He had a blast!

Got a Crusade game with my Black Templars today. I’m really digging their crusade mechanics, very on theme and gives you license to be overly dramatic before, during and after a game 😂

AoS/40k table project! Managed to find the Rugged Hills tiles from Terrainify on MyMiniFactory if I paint them in desert/mountain colours like the example image. I should get something that looks good for both games!

Looks like an AoS model has snuck over into 40K and added some squares to his cloak to blend in!

I’m starting to plan out a proper modular board for my Warhammer-ing. Anyone know any decent 3D printable tiles that could work for both AoS and 40K?

Managed to kitbash a second Crusade Ancient out of a spare Emperor’s Champion and a bunch of bits from my collection! #warhammer #blacktemplars #warhammer40k

The Crusade rules for Black Templars are great and super thematic. I’m gonna have loads of fun!

Played my last 40K game with the Black Templars index for the current narrative campaign. New codex and new possibilities soon!

And yes, I’ve banked all my upgrades to take advantage of the new tables!

Casual Hammerer @casualhammerer.bsky.social · Jul 30

It’s funny because it’s true.

Tournament board layouts are killing the game which sucks because it really doesn’t have to be this way. You can have balanced maps with interesting terrain.

Always good to get this meme out.

Look at me actually painting some Warhammer! I’ve been on a bit of a roll recently so channelling some Templar hype into trying to paint a unit or two.

Managed to spend a good chunk of time yesterday and today sorting out my Black Templars ahead of the new codex dropping

Casual Hammerer @casualhammerer.bsky.social · Jul 27

Games Workshop, please I’m begging you, write some simple and flexible Crusade rules for Warhammer 40K.

Each book has some overly complicated mechanic that detracts from the core of Crusade play.

I just wanna play games, contribute to a greater whole and see my guys get stronger.

No GW pre-orders this coming Saturday. I guess that means we’ll get a flood YouTube videos saying Warhammer and Games Workshop are dead or in CRISIS!!!!!

I think this might be the best painting I’ve ever done. Scrappy grim dark takes time but it fits with my style nicely!

You can’t feel bad about losing a game of 40K by one point. Super tight game all the way through!
