- Tonight I’ve been working on heavy bolters and gunners. #Oldhammer is the best hammer.

- A little Saturday night Xenos Rampant for Joey and me. His mixed Xenos band vs. my imperial guard.

- Happy New Year! Project for 2026: 40k 2nd Ed! I rung in the new year assembling these Genestealers I bought in ‘95 or ‘96.

- Joey’s 40-point Warband for Dragon Rampant, Thrakk’s Eye of Moloch. Some Orcs, Goblins, Skaven and a random assortment of Lesser and Greater Dæmons. What’s not to like?
- Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode- no Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this one 37 times.

- Deep within the mountains of Tyrolia, an ancient, dark keep looms over a half-forgotten pass. The ruler of the keep and its village sends just enough tribute to the so-called King of Bavaria to keep his occupying troops out. It is, after all, for their own good. Figure by Footsore Miniatures.
- Some heroes and vampires that I primed black and drybrushed a very light gray as I continue the gothic horror project. The heroes are 3d prints of STLs from Lost Heresy Miniatures. The female vampire is from GW and the male is from Footsore Miniatures.
- Otokar Knock is a foul and dreaded necromancer. His legions of undead stalk the night, searching for prey. Will our heroes survive their onslaught?

- Reposted by Jay ArnoldHello new Bskies and fresh followers! Just a reminder that we small Indie creators and artists don't have shareholders to satisfy, just bills to pay. And that while Likes are lovely, Reposting stuff is the best way to help with visibility for us. If you see models or art you love, please share!
- Friendly reminder: The Veteran Wargamer is a Genestealer Cult Stan account.
- It's Just a Cult thing... #oldhammer
- If anyone has any 1st or 2nd edition era 40k Orks and is looking to offload them, please let me know. Joey is very interested in getting some more.
- The Retro Watchtower from @doctorspork.bsky.social is all printed, cured and the dry fit is great! A large printer is necessary if you want to tackle this model in resin. I used an Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra and an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro for smaller parts. You can see I cut the base into 2 pieces to print it.
