parents grounding you not because you drew guns but because you went over your points budget

when i was in, like, 6th grade? my parents got called in because i was "drawing guns" when the teacher showed the worksheet i'd doodled on to my dad, he immediately went "oh hey, dark eldar splinter cannon" and then had to explain what warhammer was

So the "advice" doled out in this column makes me INCREDIBLY fucking angry as a former kid who was repeatedly taken to task by teachers for "inappropriate" drawings, culminating in a 9th-grade suspension spurred by Columbine paranoia and residual Satanic Panic. Arionne here says that was JUSTIFIED.

There is literally no better source for a huge variety of things a game can be. Table top gaming would be decidedly less for its absence if it had never been.

11 years ago we launched a podcast, and told ourselves "we'll run it until we get bored." Happy birthday, Party of One.

im building the spectre kill team kit and its so wild to see the level of detail, dynamism, and interesting options in a kit of like, relatively basic infantry compared to those boxy identical cadians i built as a kid

I know it's immeasurably fashionable to go the philosophical route with the answer here, but honestly, y'all could do with some levity and yeah, little plastic mans got WAY good in the last twenty years.

SPEAKING OF if any of you nerds out there have the bit of the old (2015?) ultramarine super-big transfer sheet that has all the different company vehicle badges, please list your exact address, any security codes you might have, and what times you sleep (or just DM me if you wanna sell it)

and like with dreads, there being a maximum of 9 possible gladiators just begs to make one tank for each non-scout company...

strongly debating if i want to do the big-hatch-on-the-front look for any of these. i think i'll leave it off for the first reaper, but if i start doing duplicates past that point i'll do it to add variety i do eventually wanna do some kind of real awful ironstorm gladiator spam list...

welp the multimeltas didn’t print right (missing their support rod) but otherwise this valiant is all good. just needs magnets reaper next!

i don't think it was responsible of the authority figures involved to give usagi tsukino, of all middle schoolers, a beam that turns its targets to ash

Qrs with your most popular piece. I think this scrungaloid rhino is the most popular on here, but search is being annoying. Eventually i’ll do the matching predator…

QRS with your most popular piece On Bluesky it was, ironically, one of the little Grim Guard guys as well... but over on Instagram, at 3k likes (and still occasionally ticking) it's not even close, with this Death Guard Scrungaloid just rocketing ahead of anything else!

there's a reason why I will regularly in conversation refer to bluesky as twitter. cause it's just twitter from before Musk bought the website

moving over to bluesky from twitter was huge for my mental health because twitter sucked so bad but over the years bluesky has now become pretty much just as bad because well it is also literally just twitter. we did build the demon again to be fair
