Aside from being factually wrong, having a bigger country is a reason you should have High Speed Rail, not a reason you shouldn't.
People close together? Slow can work.
People far apart? Gotta go fast.
Text. There is a title reading "How I defeated Fascism with the power of love, by Luigi." The first section reads: "Chapter 1: The power of love. The first step in my journey was realising that it is impossible to defeat fandom with the power of love." There is then a cut off header reading "Chapter 2: The power of incredible violence"
Many of the people here are playing with 3D printed models; it's not nearly as fragile as you're suggesting.
You wouldn't want to be rough with them, sure, but you wouldn't want to be rough with any miniature.
As a counterpoint, any terrain that truly struggles with tall 40mm based models is going to have issues as WH40K terrain too.
GW did design their Cities of Death terrain to be dual scale (as confirmed in WDs of the time), and that's influenced most of their terrain kits since.

I have no idea how they thought they were going to get this by people.
Railway nerds can be hugely pedantic, like spotting details that tell you which specific workshop made a given locomotive, but nooo, let's just have the slop machine make stuff up.
An awful AI generated thumbnail for a video of historical rail footage. To list a few of the errors: It's supposed to be a Stanier 2-6-4T, but the back is turning into a tender, it has "LMS" on the side tanks but a BR-era number and a BR logo on the tender (which, again, shouldn't be there), both the hoses should be on the same side, the hand rails erroneously extend over the side tanks, the shed code on the bottom of the smokebox door is imaginary, and there's another loco in the background with the exact same number.
I got furious at this earlier. This is the kind of thing an illustrator would come up with if they couldn't be bothered to find reference. (I've listed some of the many errors in the alt text).
It's appalling to use as the thumbnail for a video of archive footage.
There are many ways to do WH40K parody, and there are many ways to do sex jokes. There are even some ways to combine them.
This is terrible on all counts.
Make sure you stop at confetti, because I think even the Imperium of Man considers glitter to be a warcrime.
I mean, even if it were just my idea, I'd have to decide whether this assassin would be using heelies, a Segway or a wheelchair to increase their range.
The first two have surreality value, the wheelchair could be commentary on accessibility in society.
And for the faces to change as the DLSS5 models get updated.
But I suspect the fact it can't keep the face structure the same as the source means it won't even keep the same look for a character from scene to scene. (And even when it does, it'll likely be down to AI same face).
The Hemel Hemepstead Wargaming Club saw our first game of a 40K RPG in the quiet side room. I have no idea what was happening here but the toys looked cool so here they are. #40K #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting #warhammercommunity #warhammer
I really need to get myself in some kind of order so I can start coming to the club again.
The true art of the shitpost is to go so over the top that people are frustrated by the mere notion that someone put that much effort into mocking them.
I'm still proud of one several-hour shitpost I did that completely shut up one guy who kept being a dick on one forum.
AI can't do that.
There's some details of the car in the website of the collection it's now part of...

Black and white photo of Kam the Elephant in his modified Land Rover.
They drive now.
(A real photo of Kam the Elephant from the Bertram Mills Circus in the late 50s... although the reality is that it's a trick and there's really a hidden human driver).
In all honesty, if you filter out the racism, facetiousness, and ignore that it's a chud once again using AI to make up something to be angry about...
... I actually think the mysterious fully-robed aesthetic looks *good*, entirely fits within the Warhammer universes, and should be used more.
Every single person in the UK will think this is something else for a split second
One thing AI has revealed is that there are a whole lot of people who have neither interesting ideas nor the talent to express them, and apparently not even any real will or desire to cultvate either of these things… but still for some reason desperately want to be regarded as artists.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
If you listen to chuds, GW investors scrutinise every new release and rage sell their shares immediately at anything the slightest bit woke, but are also DEI-loving maniacs constantly forcing GW to destroy their lore.
This serves as evidence of why one should not listen to chuds.
At one of our Inquisitor meets, one of the players turned up with a "Commissork" (a sanctioned Ork mercenary wearing a commissar's uniform), and it was absolutely hilarious.
But *he'd* actually made a model rather than just being a whinger complaining about canon he didn't like.
Same procedure as every year.
It would be remiss of me to not mention that Ruaridh, also known as "Van Helser" has launched a Youtube channel about #Middlehammer gaming, and has started off with some videos about #Inquisitor.

The wooden pieces cut to length to start assembling the table frame.
I'm supposed to post about wargaming once in a while, so I've started putting together a frame for a gaming table that can be folded down for transport/storage.
It's not going to be freestanding, but should be able to sit on any other (sturdy) table and turn it into a 6x4' gaming surface.
Far worse than when I had COVID, which for me was a couple of days feeling crap but still functional, followed by two weeks of food tasting a bit funny.
(Although the COVID might have had more long term effects).
I caught a superflu at start of Dec last year (probably from a packed train after a gaming event), and it wiped me out for 2 wks.
Very few things I could stomach eating, most of my time in bed, sleep patterns shot, and trying to drink enough to stay mostly hydrated.
For now, I've just shifted to Waterfox, a Firefox fork that lets me keep most of my add-ons, and whose developers seem to have an intelligent policy on AI, as detailed in a blog post yesterday:
www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-h...
I've just uninstalled Firefox (after nearly 20 years) and sent @mozilla.org a survey response telling them that they and their new AI-shilling CEO can go and take a hike.
It's mad that no-one can see the case for marketing to the people who don't want AI shoved into everything.
Yeah, the increasing army size creep pushed me out.
I used to play small and medium size games in 6E, but then in 7th GW did stupid stuff like declaring that ranks suddenly now had to be 5 models wide; this pushed unit costs up and immediately crippled writing smaller lists.
