Light cruisers Königsberg and Köln

These ships are off the same class (named after the Königsberg) but the models are subtly different. Very fun to paint.

Sandworm from Dune: War for Arrakis
  • That's a bit too... spicy for me.

    Heavy Cruiser Prinz Eugen with three destroyers as escort

    Prinz Eugen was escorting Bismarck when it sunk HMS Hood. The heavy cruiser was the only German capital ship to survive the war.

    The escort in this image are three Type 1936A Destroyers that I haven't given specific names yet.

    HMS Rodney
  • Sorry, I don't know what that means.

  • HMS Rodney

    A second ship for my Royal Navy fleet. Please don't look too closely at the botched name plate.

    HMS Hood and Bismarck

    My first two ships for this game, painted up. I thought this would make a fitting first post for this community.

    HMS Hood and Bismarck from Victory at Sea

    I've recently started getting into naval history, and obviously for me that also meant getting into yet another wargame. These are my first two ships from Victory at Sea by Warlord Games.

    Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann denies using vibrating sex toy to cheat
  • It's important to remember that he is certainly still very good at chess, even if he cheated in some games. He wouldn't need to have every move given to him, it might even be enough to give him a single signal that there is a non-obvious great move in a current position. Even just knowing that would probably be enough for him to find it by himself.

  • What’s the Bare Minimum Number of People for a Mars Habitat?
  • Only if we find a convenient Mass Relay. Otherwise it's The Expanse for us.

  • Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week
  • Good on ya, assuming I'm American (I'm not). Also, classic use of US bad, therefore Russia/China good. Two countries can be overmilitarized imperialists at the same time.

  • Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week
  • haha yeah or maybe China is an imperialist military dictatorship.

  • I collect airsoft replicas. Here's my gun wall, as it stands today.
  • I bought it from Kula Tactical. Took a couple of months to get to me, but I got it eventually. Seems it's out of stock there now, though.

  • Customized Chimera (1/2, WIP)

    Using the Aquarius track kit, as well as some plasticard to cover the firing ports.

    YSK you can meditate without sitting quietly
  • Running works the same for me.

  • What was the game you were the most patient for?
  • I'm still waiting for Silk Song, if that counts.

  • This is not a forecast for 50 years time, it’s happening today.
  • Here's a version scaled by population (deaths per 100,000 residents). I'm no expert in this kind of thing, so I didn't account for other factors, such as age groups. Also, the data I found using the source in the original graph only went up to 2021, and didn't include 2017 for some reason.

    I've never actually played airsoft, but I enjoy adding to the collection from time to time.

    Converted Terminator Chaplain from Leviathan
  • I'm still not capable of getting a decent, smooth white. This is four thin layers, but I must be doing something wrong.

  • Converted Terminator Chaplain from Leviathan

    As you can see, I collect Black Templars, so keeping this model as a Librarian wasn't an option. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Please accept the usual apologies for my continued incompetence when it comes to taking pictures.

    What brushes do you use to paint your minis?
  • I've got a couple of Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes, which are my "good ones". Additionally, a bunch of old Citadel brushes in various conditions for when that's good enough.

  • Who fights first on a charge?
  • The Fight Phase happens in two subphases. First all units with the Fights First rule can fight, and then all other eligible units. In both cases, the player whose turn it ISN'T chooses first, then it alternates. However, the defending player often doesn't have any units with Fights First, which is most commonly gained by charging, so in praxis the attacking player usually can go first.

  • Looks like Space Marines were too delicious and Tyranids won tge Oghram event
  • Not gonna lie, I was really hoping for winged Warriors / Shrikes to be revealed. I've got several, and they just flat out don't exist anymore.

  • Hallo da!

  • Size of Predator Tank
  • 120mm in length, 80mm in width assuming you count the widest points, which are the exhaust modules. Without those it's closer to 73mm in width.

  • I re-based my old Company Commander to act as a Lord Solar proxy
  • Yes, the horse, legs, and sword-arm came from the fantasy Empire General kit.

  • I re-based my old Company Commander to act as a Lord Solar proxy
  • I think so, but to be honest, I'm not completely used to this instance system yet.

  • I re-based my old Company Commander to act as a Lord Solar proxy

    I created this mounted Company Commander for my Guard army years before GW released the Lord Solar, and he seemed like a good fit anyway.
