Some more photos from the day

#Warhammer #AgeOfSigmar #Spearhead

Yesterday I spent the day playing a few games of #Warhammer #AgeOfSigmar #Spearhead

It was a lot of fun but I was particularly pleased with the way I managed to conga line a unit so the it was touching an objective while also being close enough to my opponent’s board edge and a terrain feature that I could score two battle tactics with it.

(While maintaining unit coherency, of course)

Just been to see A Sherlock Carol.

Moriarty is dead, to begin with. Sherlock is asked to investigate the death of Ebeneezer Scrooge by tiny Tim Cratchett.

It’s an absolute delight and I’m feeling full of Christmas cheer now.

Well recommended. Get tickets while you can.

I went for a walk to clear my head earlier. Autumn has arrived.
That particular bench was one I found while on a walk yesterday when the weather is absolutely beautiful.

Games Workshop prices go up every year: There was a hefty boost for #KillTeam boxes compared to the ones without the unnecessarily specific tokens.

It tends to stir up a lot of anger in #Warhammer communities with accusations of price gouging (and ruder things).

The thing is, the cost of materials and electricity has shot up. GW’s price increases are generally fairly in line with inflation.

I was reminded of that by this article.

Everything is more expensive. 😄

British retail sales beat forecasts to rise for third straight month

Unexpected growth of 0.3% fuelled by tech purchases

There’s something depressingly ironic about Musk being so desperate for money that the social media site he owns is running adverts to try to emotionally blackmail people into signing up for the premium service to support ā€œCreatorsā€ while being illustrated by generative AI slop of the most blatantly low quality.

Realistic fingers and cables are for other social media sites.

The slat has been fitted. Sadly it has been painted to blend in with its environment so the it won’t catch the eyes of the local children.

I’ve printed off some score/turn trackers ahead of a weekend of Kill Team.

Kill Team Score Tracker: Single

A half sized version of the 2 player one. For Kill Team 2.0 Fits 12mm D6 Resource slot should fit a D20 I imagine you would place a dice in the Initiative slot when you have it, and remove it when you don't.

In practical #3dPrinting results, a friend was looking to replace a broken slat on an air vent.

It took about 5 minutes to learn enough OpenSCAD to model it, then only slightly longer than they to print it.

I only had ABS filament in a delightful purple shade so the vent is going to get a nice accent colour.
