Putting paint to metal - only took me 20 years to *actually* get hold of some Vostroyans! Seemed fitting to pull out White Dwarf 317's painting guide #nerdlings #vostroya #whitedwarf #astramilitarum #40k

As we approach the end of the summer, have you had your last swim yet? Here's Michael Laskey's majestic take on the subject...!

Having cut up the basilisk to use the chassis for a Stygies tank destroyer it seemed a shame to waste the earthshaker gun! A couple cadians, some bits and an old movement tray later and ta da - one static gun crew for my Imperial Guard army #artillery #40k #nerdlings #astramilitarum

Lovely day giving the kit an airing at Fort Nelson today The boy spent the day using my spoon to dig up the garage ground looking for moles and informing museum-goers; "It's a red boom cannon. It's got gunpowder in *wags finger* so be careful!" #reenactor #sealedknot #proudmusketparent

It's amazing how much produce you can get from a small plot. We turned half our driveway over to a greenhouse and some raised beds and now we have tomato, courgette, fennel, pumpkin, beans, peas, rainbowchard, carrots, leeks, sweetcorn, cauliflower and herbs instead! #veg #garden #smallplot

I’m not saying it’ll definitely work but have we even considered sacrificing oil and gas executives to the sun god?

Eclectic painting evening tonight; on the patio with feet in the paddling pool. Progress made on scenery, tanks and an Eldar Farseer while @vickycalleway.bsky.social embroidered. Still too hot (34 inside temp upstairs is unreal) so hammock in the garden it is! #nerdlings #40k #heatwave #hammock

"Pacifier" Pattern Hellhound, based of an immolate chassis sacrificing transport capacity to mount extra heavy flamers. Usually used by the Adeptus Arbites a troop is attached to the Vostroyan 17th Armoured for ritual cleansing duties in heretic combat zones. #nerdlings #40k #warhammer

This review of Fahrenheit 451 written in 1954 slaps.

He foresees an America living in cities and at war with the rest of the world. A war is a matter of sending out flights of bombers and is over in 48 hours. All houses are fireproof.
Interior walls are huge television screens. Conversation is just mutual back-slapping. Education is just committing facts to memory. No opinions, no philosophy or sociology are allowed.
Religion is run by advertising firms and Our Lord is used for toothpaste advertisements.

Concept for a Tank Destroyer - effectively a tracked lascannon with super batteries. Used a Chimera chassis to keep it low to the ground, so it's easy to conceal for that all important first shot! #40k #nerdlings #tank #vostroya #imperialguars
