Amazing! Were the transfers permanent? I vaguely remember a friend in the mid 00s having a similar thing with medieval scenes but I think they were thin vinyl that could be removed and re-placed so I don't know if that's the same.

Reminds me of the Action Transfer archive. Just fantastic to browse through, I'm so glad someone saved it all.

I'm seem to be in a cycle of falling hard back into @garthnix.bsky.social's Old Kingdom series every 5 years.

Re-listening to the audiobooks while working on some miniatures inspired by Sabriel, Lirael and Touchstone. Crossing Point Scouts to follow.

My first attempt at doing Non-metallic metals. I don't know if I really got close to the intended 'illusion' but I still like how it turned out.

Middle two are Bad Squiddo Amazons with slight adjustments. Barbarian on the right end and the Raven are Frostgrave minis. The rest are kitbashes using Victrix kits and the man in his underwear is mostly Wargames Atlantic Gangs of Rome.

Used a dark blue contrast paint to outline the eyes coming down over the top of the cheek. Then knocked it back as I highlighted the skin tones of the cheek and added some mid blue highlights creating the streaky pattern.

A line of painted minis - different fighters from Ancient Greece/Mediterranean. A raven is also hanging out on a stone. A singer with a Trumpet is set to flee.

This thief (@badsquiddogames.bsky.social) is ready to join my Hero's crew. Someone has to grab the loot while the muscle is tackling the monster.

"Is this the best the Gods can send against me?!"

Finished this Medusa inspired warrior for Warriors of Athena. Tempted to make her the hero of my crew - lots of cool options to choose from and more still to finish.

Variant Fun: 7 Blunders The pain of scoring highly

Have you ever tried, the 7 Blunders variant? Very silly but very fun if you're familiar with the game. bitsandpieces.games/2018/11/27/v...

My 2025 in board games

By most plays and most time playing.

I guess what the stats don't show was the career change into a role I really love doing and meeting so many awesome people. I also won the game of TI. So yeah, pretty good year.

Stack of books - A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum by Emma Southon. Once more, with feeling by Victoria Coren and Charlie Skelton. This Way Up by Mark Cooper-Jones and Jay Foreman. I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally.

Stack of books - A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum by Emma Southon. Once more, with feeling by Victoria Coren and Charlie Skelton. This Way Up by Mark Cooper-Jones and Jay Foreman. I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally.

Did well for books this Christmas.

Already 1/3 of the way into A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum by @emmasouthon.bsky.social, it's brilliant.

Ewoks join my Rebel forces in #SWLegion - my final bit of hobby for the year.

There's a little easter egg on the leader's base to connect them with the Riot Troopers I sent to my Secret Santa. Hopefully they'll get to meet on the table.

Took a few hours but satisfying to see it all come together. Seems to have turned out well - would recommend. Curious to see if the flavour changes much as it ages.
