If we're sharing couples art I absolutely have to share my favourite commission ever, this wedding cake topper. Commissioned by the bride it depicts her and her groom as 40k characters. Kitbashed sculpted and repositioned, I even got them to hold hands. I would LOVE to do another. 😍

The bride was based on Greyfax with an AoS veiled head. The groom is based on a Death Guard. Tuxedo Death Guard is so good and makes me want a whole army like that. 😂 His arm that's holding her hand was three different pieces I think, with the hand coming from a Blight King. His hat was Greyfax's, with some sculpting on top to make it a top hat.
The emojis on the banner cover the couple's name and the date which I freehanded on. I think I'd do the writing with waterslide transfers in the future, it would just look more professional because I write like a child. 🙂

I'll be at the Hartenstein Airborne Museum this coming weekend along with @jurdj.bsky.social, @clogfather.bsky.social, @eltjov.bsky.social & Nick Skinner. We'll host three Market Garden games for the broader public. If you're in the vicinity we'd love if you'd stop by and maybe even roll a few dice

Waiting for news from war ravaged Portland.

Rainy and gloomy here.

It’s an INTERPOL kind of day.

Some awesome terrain building skills on display here. But it looks even better in the real (and you can see the astounding detail on the miniatures!). And yes, I will be there too, happy to talk about what's going on (and what went on there 81 years ago)

I think the core of why this argument repeatedly appears in discussions is the casual assumption that if you make a vast amount of something then it must be mediocre-to-bad, when the reality in the Second World War was that the Allies were so industrially dominant they had both quality and quantity.

Like this is such a wrong statement that anyone making it should not be taken seriously at all (this piece annoyed the shit out of me at the time and I have not had the opportunity to litigate it lol)

He can have people with a skin colour shot or picked from the street without cause in every major city of the USA these days. No need to limit himself

Good game of Midgard yesterday. Helped by our friends who chose not to engage immediately, me and my direct opponent could play on until almost wiped out. Narrow victory #spreadthelard

was there ever a band more on brand for “cool academic who wears a leather jacket”?

Just to make conversation, I told you about a dream I had
Which Jean Baudrillard was rapping with Public
Enemy
Shouting, "Don't believe the hyperreal!" with Flava Flav and Chuck D
And I said I think we might have a lot in common then, possibly
Because I'm also a musician and also a student of
hip-hoposophy

No, that's your Marines. Think 1814 and a Washington Bonfire. You can even paint some of yoir marines as Colonial Marines 😉

More people were killed during the Bud Dajo Massacre in 1906 than at Wounded Knee and My Lai combined - and yet this American atrocity has been largely forgotten.
