But I've now changed the angle to focus more on it being gender ambiguous, with room to read a variety of ways.

I do go over the differences I see between the minis in the article.

Tim Linward @tjohnlinward.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

As several people pointed out, it's reductive of me to say 'Hey this is good trans rep' because I read a certain set of features into it.

Tim Linward @tjohnlinward.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

So, that question highlights a real weakness in my original article. Because there isn't one trans femininity, it's diverse.

Tim Linward @tjohnlinward.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I've had feedback from a couple of sources on this article, pointing out elements that were reductive about trans identity. I've edited the piece a little and I'll keep looking out for feedback. www.wargamer.com/warhammer-ag...

This year's Warhammer Day mini is delightfully gender nonconforming

GW has revealed the limited edition miniature for Warhammer Day 2026, a new version of the Darkoath Warqueen, emphasis on the word "queen".

Thanks for all the feedback and thanks for assuming I had good intentions!

When GW release a new model, I look and see if there's something to be said about it. I saw a model and wondered if it was intended to represent a gender nonconforming character. That's not common, and it's a topic I'm interested in: www.wargamer.com/warcrow/sama...

Warcrow's new trans hero fuels my hope that miniature wargames have a bright, gender affirming future

Samara Dìthean and the Scions of Yaldabaoth break tabletop wargaming's long association between gender nonconformity and corruption.

Tim Linward @tjohnlinward.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

That is a point I try to make in the final substantive paragraph. I try to tie in the idea that IRL gender presentation has far more ambiguous areas than are commonly constructed, and that there isn't an actual boundary between 'feminine' and 'masculine'. It might not have come across.

Tim Linward @tjohnlinward.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I'll raise FB moderation with the editor.

Tim Linward @tjohnlinward.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

You're not the only person to comment on that paragraph, and I agree it was badly worded. I've changed it.

It's a persistent phase for sure.

Nice. Thanks for the explanation.

What's your method? I'm intrigued.

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in
FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.
This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain.
Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

Annual pilgrimage to Deershed Festival to do admin and childcare help for an arborist friend who runs tree climbing event. Always joyous. The event itself - wholesome. Nature could not evolve a more perfect party animal than the arborist. Core strength for days, liver like an industrial filter.

I don't know how I knew this would be the first response, but I did, and that troubles me.

I'm already onto it :D I bought a five pack of Audible credits as soon as I'd finished Rhesus Chart, that pretty much decided for me that I was listening to the whole series.

Just listened to The Rhesus Chart by @cstross.bsky.social more than a decade late, and /what/ an ending. Intensely cool.

"It isn't possible to not age; I never thought I would remain the same. That's what would be weird, in fact: to endure raw time and the obvious, profound insincerities of existence and be recognizable at the end. It's psycho shit; I don't honor it."

I assume this is a tabletop, but if you've taken up making wargames terrain, excellent sandbar, that'll look a beaut with a bunch of space elves smashing people across it.
