October has begun and it’s comp time. This month the theme is…Terraining Day 2: Electric Boogaloo. Scratch built terrain is the name of the game but this time with a very specific restriction. It must be 10*2.5 inches at the base. Rules on skeet 2. #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth 1/2

A largely scratch built terrain piece with a giant tower and a rusty bridge. A space marine is shooting across the bridge and a kroot stands on top of the tower

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 5 by @grumpykiltpin.bsky.social Made From Girders #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A scavenged Space Marine Rhino with a Whirlwind missile launcher has been pressed into service by a group of grots. The fact that it stopped working didn't stop them. They just added some big wheels and are have it dragged around by two enormous armoured beasts. It has been (badly) painted bright orange and blue.

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 4 by @tristanwelsh.bsky.social Maximum Goberdrive #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A large red scratch built Grot Tank with a huge green goblin head for the turret. The tanks barrel is sticking out in place of it's nose and a large blue hat can be seen on top. The hat has a hinge near the top where the tip is opened up revealing a Grot with a large machine gun. On top of the hat is a Git holding on for dear life with a large artillery shell on top of it's head.

The tank is covered with many other Grots and Gitz. Some riding on the end of the barrel, others sticking out the aides of the tank with a variety of weapons. One is even hanging from the large ear of the goblin turret head. Two large boosters can be seen on the back of the tank. The whole thing is heavily weathered with chipping and rustball over.

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 2 by @garyrp.bsky.social Oddball #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

“For sixteen million dollars, we could become heroes for three days. You know a Sherman can give you a very nice edge.”

“Looks like we have some sort of military installation so we’ll make it the same deal as before, a triangular formation. I’ll go down the slot, Moe, you go down the right flank, Whiskey you go down the left flank. Keep it tight, don’t break it up until I give you the word. OK, button up and let’s go.” <cue music: All for the Love of Sunshine>

“We’ve got our own ammunition. It’s filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes pretty pictures. Scares the hell outta people.”

“Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves. Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?”

This is an M4A3 Sherman. Yes, it is the short barrel 105mm version, but the minute I saw it, I know what I wanted to do with it. Took me way too long with lots of screen caps, and even then I couldn’t quite get it exactly like the tank from the film Kelly’s Heroes, close, but not exact. And if you are thinking ‘wait, wasn’t the Sherman in Kelly’s Heroes a 75mm gun?’ Yes it was. But again, I didn’t care. It was too much fun to worry about.

Coyote vs. Acme was a very fun movie. Highly recommend, and both kids (6 and 11) enjoyed it as well. No spoilers, but there was a moment when they needle-dropped “Nobody Speak” and I lost it.

Mini of the month - Reflections Entry 4 by @grumpykiltpin.bsky.social Foreshadowing #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A pre-heresy Corvidae Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons Legion encounters a mysterious doorway in a forest clearing. As he watches an image forms, it appears to be himself in the future, but his armour, his staff, and even the power he wields is very different. Is this a portent of what will be and, if so, what does it mean?

This isn’t what he’s most famous for, but I love Tim Curry’s voice acting and audiobook stuff. He did an amazing Van Helsing for Dracula, and my absolute favorite version of A Christmas Story. If you’ve got Audible, give them a listen.

An observation that’s stuck with me is that what makes Michael Caine’s performance in a Muppet Christmas Carol, and Tim Curry’s in Muppet Treasure Island both perfect is that Caine plays Scrooge like he’s not noticed everyone else is a Muppet, while Tim Curry plays Silver like he’s a Muppet himself.

I love when fantasy series have a dude called something like Stephen the All-Seeing, Keeper of the Demon Sword, hero of the Volcano Age. But in some tiny village, he's known as Bees Steve, that weird guy who loves beekeeping. The more uppercase titles the legend has, the funnier the contrast is.
