Let's take a look at Home Guard mythology in the spiritual home of Dad's Army, the Norfolk town of Thetford. This is a case study in why documentary research is needed to properly understand how the UK was defended during the Second World War. youtu.be/9NrxseFHqXw?...

I don't usually do 40k for myself but I do have a custom chapter killteam (from the last edition), & I had an idea for a conversion a while ago, so I bought a Lieutenant Titus quite reasonably from an ebay seller & raided the accumulated spares today to come up with this Captain! #Nerdlings #WH40k

An unpainted Pramaris Space Marine Captain conversion based on the body of the special edition Lieutenant Titus, with parts from various 40k, Heresy and Age of Sigmar kits, including a sword about as tall as the model is!

My Primaris Space Marine Killteam; six kitbashed figures using various parts including Scaven banners. Painted as my custom chapter, the Warders of the Emperor's Heart, in grey-blue armour and orange helmets with black faceplates. I've freehanded anatomical hearts on the banners because I'm extra

Recording this podcast was a blast! The First Punic War is often neglected in favor of its more land-based sequel, but it was an enormous conflict with earth-shaking world-historic ramifications - all the more interesting because it was a (as Hoyos puts it) an 'unplanned' war that got out of hand.
