I’ve been working on a few things to finish off the Alpha Legion collection - some Ashen Circle (beautiful minis!) a Moritat, some sniper recons, and a lovely Rhino ready to rock and roll!

Just big daddy Alpha to go, and he’s almost there…

This one for me (the others so far have also been great!)
In black and white Horus faces off against the Emperor on the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit. Horus, in black terminator armour is a bulky presence top left, glowering down on the Emperor’s lither figure. There are dead marines strewn around, and the Angel, Sanguinius lies broken at Horus’ feet.

Bridge Simulator was loads of fun! Was running the engineering for a shuttle and it was a perfect Star Trek / BSG game. Must have done okay cos I got promoted…
New rank tabs and a celebratory drink. The rank tabs are dark blue with a light blue circular insignia and a wide and thin horizontal stripe on the bottom; the drink is fruity.

Okay. Everything is horrid. Here’s some good things…

@badsquiddogames.bsky.social kickstarter is funded and looks awesome. Looking forward to those minis!

Phots!

Perfect 90s metalhead type thing, not grunge…
The Troublegum album cover. A person in a skin coloured bodysuit has their head fully in a metal dustbin while gripping onto the handles on the side, against a grey/brown background. Therapy? Troublegum is written in white against a red background across the middle of the picture

An event wanted us to bring one of Malcador’s Knights Errant - this is Dagonet, seconded to Malcador by the Lion after one to many high spirited jokes.

Last game of Heresy 2.0 coming up. This list is unplayable (and in many cases illegal) in v3, so enjoying it now!

Man in a hot dog costume looking wacky and with the subtitle “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this.” It’s him. He did this. Just like the Guardian has a massive part to play in the current attack on trans rights

People going to America need to practice not replying when someone says “Good Luck”
Gif of The Great Escape. Two men in grey suits and hats (from the Gestapo) say “Good Luck” to a man in a brown suit and hats getting on a bus. He reply’s “Thank You” then looks worried before being dragged off the bus

Bits of my art that spark joy - me as Richard in The Lion in Winter, possibly the best show I’ve been involved with, definitely my best performance; a photo by Oliver Facey from the best LARP I’ve played; and the first mini I painted that made me think I could do this painting lark
A scene from The Lion in Winter, produced by Rococo Players in Cheltenham in about 2018. A bearded man sat at a table in a studded jerkin (suggesting a martial character) having a shoulder massage from a standing man in a gown. They are playing Richard Lionheart and Phillipe of France. A penguin classics style book cover with a photo at the top and a black band of about a third of the bottom of the picture. The photo shows a white bearded man in a plain blue tabard watching a shorter woman in a black doublet and bright blue tabard fire a musket. In the background, watching, are three man in identical tabards to the woman with prominent pink roses. The book title is “Alexandre Dumas - Twenty Years After” A sister of battle miniature. She stands holding a chainsword aloft and a bolter pointing down, in black armour with a white robe, with gold decorations of eagles and a prominent skull covered “I”

The Sisters of Battle box set got me back into the hobby; the Age of Darkness box got me into Heresy which has connected me closer with my brother & become my main game/obsession
The sisters of battle release box set. A set of miniatures, dice, books and a really nice box art of a kneeling sister The age of darkness / HH v2 set - lots of marines, a dreadnought, a tank, dice, whippy sticks, books, templates in a giant box
