Back from an amazing weekend away at the 'Second 'eds' event organised by Ed from the YouTube channel Minisodes. Many games of 2nd Edition 40k were played across stunning tabletops with gorgeous, fully-painted armies in classic style but the main takeaway was what a lovely bunch of folks I'd met.

Behold! My RTB01-based Sanguinary guard for my Rogue Trader Lamenters army! Started painting these this morning and basically didnโ€™t stop until all 3 were done. This probably means thereโ€™s a bunch of mistakes Iโ€™ll need to fix later but for now, Iโ€™m very happy with them.

I just found out that a collection of early John Blanche artworks were recently featured on the auction show Dickinsonโ€™s Real Deal.

Iโ€™m not surprised the traditional auctioneers had no feel for their value, but an initial offer of just ยฃ800 was wild. And the winning bid was only ยฃ10k. Astonishing!

Two black and white photos of a soldier who has received a facial injury during World War I. In the first photo, his injuries are on display. In the second photo, he is wearing a facial prosthetic (mask) that covers his injuries.

From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankindโ€™s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

I got introduced to Here's The Ruckus yesterday. My small French retinue losing two leaders in quick succession settled the issue. Happy to try again (especially with these lovely painted Perry and Athena minis)

Shot down over France F/O Panton's experience during May in France 1940

This weekโ€™s feature follows the daring escape of a Blenheim pilot and his crew through enemy lines and the Belgian medical system during May 1940. Chaos, bravery, tragedy and death.

Played Avalon Hill's Flight Leader (1986) at the club last night. Really enjoyed it. Just the basic game this time round but we'll add in some of the more advanced stuff later. I got one of his Migs and he got one of my Phantoms before a hit the afterburners and dived for the deck and home.

I was quite pleased with the start I'd made on this 20mm Northern French town. However, this will be going for sale soon, due to events.

More buildings for Montcornet! Patrick Miniatures was incredibly generous and designed and printed these as a gift towards the table. Based on actual houses in the town, they were fantastic to work on.

Piano Wargames and @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social casually rolling out some of the best looking, versatile plastic Napoleonic French going. Really enjoyed painting these, and if one observes closely... the rear rank cheats are all in play here!

I knew Cushing painted toy soldiers (and played HG Wellsโ€™ โ€œLittle Warsโ€ on the floor with them), but I did not know about him inviting actresses to paint with him. That is wonderful.

#histscalemodels #scalemodels Didnโ€™t realize that the front cowlings on these planes with Bristol engines was actually the exhaust collector. Pretty clever. Replicating it was a fun challenge. Also most of the way through painting the underside.
