@sonicsledge "Your estimated wait time is more than an hour"
I don't fancy my chances...

[Rapt in Plastic @PlasticRapt]

@SoSwargaming Yeah, I saw the NerfHerder post. Looked great...

@SoSwargaming Since reading the 'What a Cowboy!' rules I've been playing around with some ideas/rules to use 2000AD minis. 'What a Mutie!' for Strontium Dog and 'What a Perp!' for Judge Dredd

15mm Scale Panzer IV for Chain of Command. I made 4' of river sections, including this bridge section, over the weekend. The bridge is a resin piece I picked up on eBay a couple of years ago. I'm currently re-visiting & re-working my 15mm terrain. #toofatlardies #wargames

@SoSwargaming Are the STLs for these commercially available. .?

A change from HH & 40k after a friend reminded me about GW's LotR game.
I've had these for more than a decade but just got round to painting them this afternoon. Zenithal primes & Contrast Paints did most of the work. #Saruman #Grima #LordOfTheRings #warhammercommunity

The last of the accessories from my first Gallowdark terrain set painted in 15 mins this morning. #WarhammerCommunity #Gallowdark #40k #boardingactions #30k #spacehulk

The doorways from my first set, complete with hazard stripes. I've posted a step-by-step guide separately. #WarhammerCommunity #arkofomens #boardingactions #Gallowdark #40k #30k #Spacehulk

3. Paint the area yellow. I used GW's Averland Sunset.
4. Mark out the lines. I used a piece of 1cm x 1cm square dowel and marked the lines in pencil.
5. Paint alternating areas black. I used Vallejo's Black Grey.
6. Peel off the masking tape. #gallowdark #boardingactions #40k

[Rapt in Plastic @PlasticRapt]

A bit of a faff painting the hazard stripes, but quick to do assembly line style..
1. Mask off the area. I use the bolts above the doorways as a guide.
2. Paint the area with a light colour as a base for the yellow. I used Vallejo Sky Grey.

Adding hazard stripes to the top of the doorway pieces of my Gallowdark Terrain makes them quicker to spot in game. 1 down lots to go - thenmota on to the 2nd set. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k #boardingactions

Heresy Noir. The GW Gallowdark terrain makes the perfect backdrop for atmospheric mini shoots.

Blaring sirens and red warning light are never a good sign. #WarhammerCommunity #heresy #boardingaction #deathguard

[Enough is Enough @eiecampaign]

🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years.

Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”?

Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay?

A squad of Death Guard venture ever deeper into the drifting Spacehulk 'Terra's Lament' #warhammer40000 #WarhammerCommunity #boardingaction #deathguard

[Rapt in Plastic @PlasticRapt]

Indulging in a little cinematic posing as I assemble & paint my boarding action terrain.
Prime black, overbrush with Warplock Bronze, stipple on Ryza Rust, drybrush with Leadbelcher and finish by picking out some cables and details...

Death Guard Praetor finished and taking my new display turntable for a spin. #WarhammerCommunity #DeathGuard #Praetor #HorusHeresy

Praetor's cloak WIP. Whilst dry-fitting this I discovered a fairly large gap between the fold of the cloak and where it joined the Praetor's left shoulder/pauldron. I sculpted an additional fold into the cloak with Green Stuff. Rudimentary, but better than the gap. #deathguard
