More work on the hungry hungry submarine.

Howling Griffons sighted! Mah boys!

Stop sitting on the fence, tell us what you really feel.

If you see this, post a monster!

Fancy reading about some rich & powerful assholes getting killed in horrible ways? How about as a narrative poem? Well, it just so happens I wrote exactly that and you can find it here... amzn.eu/d/0iy15yDk

Do people Kickstart books? If they do, is it just special editions of existing successful books, or do writers use it as a pre-order/hype system so as to not get lost in the mire of Amazon titles?

For the record I very much enjoy this approach to miniature painting. A key aspect of the hobby, more so the longer I do it, is that we can do whatever we want.

The wargame ‘Labyrinth’, about the War on Terror, covers a similarly contentious subject, and while it does it very well I would understand someone being uncomfortable with it. Similarly, I feel unsure about the many WWII games where one player can control, for instance, the SS.

Wargamers: Paint schemes reflect the lore of the game and should be consistent, repeatable and researched to make a game into a microcosm of the game world.

Knotley: CONTRAST PARTY LETS GOOO

I’m ready for them to just launch the nukes.

The submarine hungers

I rewrote your thank you message to seem warmer and more sincere. Your buddy, AIwriterbuddy - “A very happy New Year to you from the bottom of my/our[delete as applicable] heart[s]!”

I wrote a book this year. 2026 will determine if anyone notices.

Wooo

My favourite Warhammer quote applies here: ‘Camouflage is the colour of fear.’

An altogether classier and less bourgeois creation.

I want a cooperative miniatures wargame. There are skirmish and dungeon crawler-type games, but I want either a whole army’s worth of cooperating units vs a game-controlled army, or multiple heroes vs big complex bad guys like boss fights in an MMO.

Zero degrees Kelvin.

‘So… the prophecy was true.’

I’m getting Helsmiths of Hashut, some kind of slavemaster who bosses the hobgrots around.

I really want to write some more LitRPG.

The new model rules although I admit I had a soft spot for his power hammer with a fist on it. I’ve not kept up with a lot of the current background, but remember that 40K has both future tech and magic so nobody has to stay dead.

Literally nothing is more Warhammer than wearing bright red in battle to convey your contempt of the enemy.

The red works really well for a ‘Chunter.

Very kind words and a fun reminder of when I got to give Lysander a really miserable time.

Looking for recommendations on co-op miniatures games. Does Five Parsecs From Home work with multiple players, for instance? Especially games with lots of story content or potential.

It’s been down for a while, I wasn’t able to get the domain renewal to work. I’m focusing on getting mini pics up regularly before I think about maintaining a blog again.

I like the first one. A neglected building big enough to have an elevator, but that still has people in it, is a very cool setting which definitely has a hidden floor that can only be identified from counting the windows outside vs the number of stops the elevator makes.

A Chaos Dwarf as a treat. Helsmiths of Hashut War Despot.
