A circular necklace made of alternating dark and light cylindrical beads, with three larger flat, L‑shaped pendants hanging from the lower half, displayed against a black background.

This 6,000-year-old necklace offers a glimpse into the artistry of the Neolithic Schussenried culture in southwest Germany.
Its three marble pendants and jet‑and‑limestone beads create a striking black‑and‑white contrast, characteristic of the Schussenried culture's jewellery design. 🧵1/2

Unboxing, review and kitbash of the new @northstarfigs.bsky.social Cultists Knights for Frost grave. I thought I didn't need it but now I think they would make some great Orc Champions...

Oh yes, oftentimes the smaller projects where I go a bit more experimental. The Iron Golems were a blast, start to finish

36 more archers about to join the defence of Arnor against the dastardly VVitch-King. Once they are based and painted at least.

Here we have this Neo-Nazi who before going to prison changed his legal status to female in order to cause a fuss. Backfired as everyone was seeing right through it.

I think the whole discourse around trans people shows a level of hysteria that strikes me as very American. Real Satanic Panic vibes. Like an armada of trans women is about to raid toilets across the country. I learned the word cervix from a Labour party Congress. This isn't calm and composed GB.

I suspect the UK has caught an infection of Americanism and this would be one of the symptoms.

I really enjoy SnarlCast it's a great podcast about wargaming
But the way the woman in the title card is holding the G36 I find slightly disturbing.

I just viewed the PDF at 400% size on the 32" monitor and it looks pretty cool 🤘😎

Anyway. DM me so I can send you a link to the first issue.

Thanks 🙏 it's a rules agnostic project. Planned are What A Cowboy and Majestic 13 but maybe others as well.

Good question. Building them is mostly straight forward. The challenge starts when I try to give them a certain look and convert and kitbash. Nothing too difficult. Painting wise I'm a bit baffled myself. It's a simple enough scheme yet it's harder than similar projects.

Captain Violet Grantham and 4 other female soldiers from my painting queue stand proof for equal rights in the regiment from grunts up to command.

I guess some of you already know that women were always treated as equals in the #4thMemnonRegiment and the affiliated forces. Now (left) and in the future (right).
Show me your female minis. Fierce or not.

Quote post with a picture of a powerful woman.
Caterina Sforza.
Politician and alchemist, before acquiring fame during the siege of Forlì against the papal army led by Cesare Borgia, she survived a coup led by the Orsi noble family, during which her husband Girolamo Riario was assassinated.

Amalie Elisabeth von Hessen-Kassel
During the 30-year war she became a general and managed to successfully regain her territory and compensation for her mercenaries. She was feared and respected on the battlefield and at the negotiation table.
