Exactly, and to be fair, painting single models has, so far, been proving quicker overall. The previous squad was batch painted and took me from March until October to paint! 🤪

Been painting up the third squad for my US Infantry. Painting 1 model at a time instead of batch painting. Each model takes roughly 3.5-4 hours. 3 out of 12 finished so far.

Thanks! I’d like to say it was intentional! Alas it was just a fortuitous byproduct! 😅🤣

Now with added buildings… The next terrain build project needs to be adding those items of scatter terrain that make the world look lived in.

Slowly slowly building the terrain collection. I’m setting up a take for a game tonight.

Just added this MMG team to my US platoon. Wonderfully characterful sculpts from W3 Wargaming.

I love how expressive the @warlordgames.com faces are. Many other companies could do woth taking note of this. Heroic proportions are good for adding this sort of character.

Built this wonderful model kit today. I do love a Rubicon kit! Tank Commander is from Trenchworx.

I’m getting real “drive over there I want to hit it with my sword” vibes from this tank commander. A 3d print from a Trenchworks STL file.

There defo needs more wargames presence at the expo! It’s very top level at the moment, the usual big players in the industry (obviously). But the number of tiny rpg stands and small businesses at expo shows how accessible it can be for smaller sellers.

Finished off these 6 chaps. Now for their LMG support and another 6 men, to make a standard rifle squad or a mechanised infantry squad.

David Robotham @david-robotham.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

I built up 2 LMG teams for a mechanise Infantry Squad. I didn’t want them prone like many so many MG teams, so I kitbashed the new Warlord Airborne LMGs onto GI bodies. I scraped the elbow patches off and filled gaps around the arms and now they look the part despite also looking very “Hollywood”.

Played a great game of Bolt Action on Saturday evening. British attacking into the Germans, Normandy, Normandy, June 20, 1944. Despite ultimately being caught out in the open by a deadly artillery barrage, a well timed German counter attack was able to wallop the British advance.

I’ve been a bit remiss about posting any hobby updates. Truth be told I’m flitting between projects and floundering a bit. I’ve been using different projects to avoid burnout but I need to finish something to feel like I’m achieving… So today I finished the skin on these GIs.

I used to think that I preferred painting figures than actually gaming with them. Then I realised I was just gaming with the wrong type of people. #wargaming

I've been wondering how tariffs will affect the table top games industry- answer- not good.

Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

" On April 5th, a 54% tariff goes into effect on a wide range of goods imported from China. For those of us who create boardgames, this is not just a policy change. It's a seismic shift.
At Steve Jackson Games, we are actively assessing what this means for our products, our pricing, and our future plans. We do know that we can't absorb this kind of cost increase without raising prices. We've done our best over the past few years to shield players and retailers from the full brunt of rising freight costs and other increases, but this new tax changes the equation entirely.
Here are the numbers: A product we might have manufactured in China for $3.00 last year could now cost $4.62 before we even ship it across the ocean. Add freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and distribution margins, and that once-$25 game quickly becomes a $40 product. That's not a luxury upcharge; it's survival math.
Some people ask, "Why not manufacture in the U.S.?" I wish we could. But the infrastructure to support full-scale boardgame production – specialty dice making, die-cutting, custom plastic and wood components – doesn't meaningfully exist here yet. I've gotten quotes. I've talked to factories. Even when the willingness is there, the equipment, labor, and timelines simply aren't."

I finished my Zeo. Next up I need to paint the small dudes and drones! I had an amazing time painting this mech. I've definitely got a taste for it now and it was great to go wild with colour! Zeo Genesis is coming to Gamefound on the 29th April! #Ad #ZeoGenesis

Little bit of nostalgia fuel for y'all, among the big box of Warhammer was the outlaws box from necromunda with some of the old and beautiful bulk heads. I spent a few minutes assembling the two main buildings(sadly some of the pieces are warped or torn) #WarhammerCommunity #Oldhammer #Necromunda

Hats off to The Army Painter, 'announcing' something they're actually going to do on April 1st... 😜 I was very kindly sent out some of the upcoming Army Painter Historical range, and they're grand. Everything I like about the Fanatic line, but even more useful shades of drab, beige, and green! 🧵/1
