The Hemel Hemepstead Wargaming Club saw our first game of a 40K RPG in the quiet side room. I have no idea what was happening here but the toys looked cool so here they are. #40K #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting #warhammercommunity #warhammer
I really need to get myself in some kind of order so I can start coming to the club again.
The true art of the shitpost is to go so over the top that people are frustrated by the mere notion that someone put that much effort into mocking them.
I'm still proud of one several-hour shitpost I did that completely shut up one guy who kept being a dick on one forum.
AI can't do that.
There's some details of the car in the website of the collection it's now part of...

Black and white photo of Kam the Elephant in his modified Land Rover.
They drive now.
(A real photo of Kam the Elephant from the Bertram Mills Circus in the late 50s... although the reality is that it's a trick and there's really a hidden human driver).
In all honesty, if you filter out the racism, facetiousness, and ignore that it's a chud once again using AI to make up something to be angry about...
... I actually think the mysterious fully-robed aesthetic looks *good*, entirely fits within the Warhammer universes, and should be used more.
Every single person in the UK will think this is something else for a split second
One thing AI has revealed is that there are a whole lot of people who have neither interesting ideas nor the talent to express them, and apparently not even any real will or desire to cultvate either of these things… but still for some reason desperately want to be regarded as artists.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
If you listen to chuds, GW investors scrutinise every new release and rage sell their shares immediately at anything the slightest bit woke, but are also DEI-loving maniacs constantly forcing GW to destroy their lore.
This serves as evidence of why one should not listen to chuds.
At one of our Inquisitor meets, one of the players turned up with a "Commissork" (a sanctioned Ork mercenary wearing a commissar's uniform), and it was absolutely hilarious.
But *he'd* actually made a model rather than just being a whinger complaining about canon he didn't like.
Same procedure as every year.
It would be remiss of me to not mention that Ruaridh, also known as "Van Helser" has launched a Youtube channel about #Middlehammer gaming, and has started off with some videos about #Inquisitor.

The wooden pieces cut to length to start assembling the table frame.
I'm supposed to post about wargaming once in a while, so I've started putting together a frame for a gaming table that can be folded down for transport/storage.
It's not going to be freestanding, but should be able to sit on any other (sturdy) table and turn it into a 6x4' gaming surface.
Far worse than when I had COVID, which for me was a couple of days feeling crap but still functional, followed by two weeks of food tasting a bit funny.
(Although the COVID might have had more long term effects).
I caught a superflu at start of Dec last year (probably from a packed train after a gaming event), and it wiped me out for 2 wks.
Very few things I could stomach eating, most of my time in bed, sleep patterns shot, and trying to drink enough to stay mostly hydrated.
For now, I've just shifted to Waterfox, a Firefox fork that lets me keep most of my add-ons, and whose developers seem to have an intelligent policy on AI, as detailed in a blog post yesterday:
www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-h...
I've just uninstalled Firefox (after nearly 20 years) and sent @mozilla.org a survey response telling them that they and their new AI-shilling CEO can go and take a hike.
It's mad that no-one can see the case for marketing to the people who don't want AI shoved into everything.
Yeah, the increasing army size creep pushed me out.
I used to play small and medium size games in 6E, but then in 7th GW did stupid stuff like declaring that ranks suddenly now had to be 5 models wide; this pushed unit costs up and immediately crippled writing smaller lists.
I should actually do a spreadsheet that lists the printed titles, the filenames, authors, original publication, and a brief description.
The Inquisitor community has been picking up a bit lately and asking about old articles (a new group in Brighton has snowballed) so it's a decent time to do it.
Well, it wasn't particularity onerous for me to check anyway (it's all on the shelf in here), so I can confirm it was originally published in Exterminatus Magazine, Issue #7.
In a few cases I added description parentheses to the names of (the uploaded version of) the files to make their topics a bit clearer, but if you ignore those additions I believe everything in the archive still has its original SG site(s) filename; I don't think I've outright renamed anything.
I can also dig out my physical copies and track the article to the original issue it was printed in (rather than its SG site reupload), if that's helpful for a citation.
Yes, I can confirm this.
I was the main person who was doing the archiving of Inquisitor articles for the community when the SG sites were being wound down, and that's the filename I have that article under.
A montage of pictures of a scratchbuilt 54mm Arvus Lighter, mostly made from plasticard, but with some 3D printed detailing.
It's far more fun to use 3D printing for 2:1 copies of GW models.
(Although in this case I only used it for detailing that would be hard to do in plasticard, 3D printing is proving a popular way to get models to play the old "Inquisitor" Specialist Game at its original 54mm scale).
succubus - female demon that seduces men
incubus - male demon that seduces women
vengabus - non-binary demon that likes to party
"Space Marines(-ish)"?
So they're saying they *know* the Custodes aren't Space Marines?
For other points:
1) If I were GW, I'd consider 'alienating' chuds to be a perk of writing in FSM, not a drawback.
2) Who says FSM are only to appeal to female players?
If we're doing a list of annoying things men do, infantalising women by calling them "girls" has got to be pretty high up.
It's *maybe* okay in an obviously facetious context, but here it's part of an effort to discredit and invalidate women.
"Oh noooo, D&D has some non-white and/or non-cishet people in it! That's totally unrealistic in a magical world full of lizard people, sorcerers and shapeshifters!"
Letting the defender make the armour saves gives them something to do on their turn, and making it one roll at the final stage makes it more climactic, and avoids passing rolls back and forth.
(Also, more appropriate than making them roll their own wound dice, which they'd want to *fail*).
