I guess we've now left the summer of Ogre kitbashing, and must move into the autumn of actually painting the buggers. #ageofsigmar #aos #TheManeaterLegion

Long-time 'pushing Ogres around Warhammer tables' veteran. Even longer-time green stuff addict. I do other things, but you're probably not following me for them.
Three months into the new GHB, and what we've learned from the @ggsclub.bsky.social Quarter In Review is "hey, you played a lot with Crimson Keep and didn't win a lot, huh?" Colour me amazed! play.ggs.club/recaps/aos/g... #ageofsigmat #aos #DaBadNekBanditz

Amongst the perks of being a @plasticcraicaos.bsky.social Patron... today I received a lovely big dice that barely fits in my dice display frame properly!
After three months of getting my star handed to me with the Blood Knights, thought I'd get some Ogres on the table yesterday and see how they did. Well enough for a friendly game where I was learning on the fly! #TheManeaterLegion #aos #ageofsigmar
Catching up recent events... was out on Friday to see @rathergood.bsky.social and the 7 Seconds Of Love put on another cracking show inside the New Cross Inn blast furnace. Cosplay was requested. @taniapdx.bsky.social and I did some seminal Flash classics. Who wore it better?
As an aspiring meta-chaser on a lag, I need more models for a unit of Ogre Hunters. My current idea is to do a Wildercorps Ranger. Who is going to be based on... an Ogre Hunter. Look, I'm getting old guys, I'm running out of creative leaps. #TheManeaterLegion #ageofsigmar #aos

This month on #GuessThatManeater, I've finally splashed out on the big boy. Who isn't carting around soup, but the stuff mercenaries are actually after. For anyone actually playing along, he has since had a turban and a curly moustache sculpted on... #ageofsigmar #aos #TheManeaterLegion
The needs of another half dozen Gluttons means that the Stormcast Maneater holding a standard has had a transition. Still needs painting and actual reassembly, but I'm happy how easily he's accepted his new role in life! #aos #ageofsigmar #TheManeaterLegion
So they don't do Coolest Army at War In The Mortal Realms, so it's funny to have beaten out some beautifully painted armies to win Best Painted instead 🤣 This does mean #DaBadNekBanditz have done their job, so I need to get some Ogres prepped for October...
Game 3 went about as well as I normally do into Troggs. Ran out of time, but it wasn't going to get better from there. Still didn't spoon today tho, which is frankly a miracle... #aos #ageofsigmar #DaBadNekBanditz
What's a good pairing after a crushing Round 1 loss? What about the _literal best AoS player in the country_? Sounds fair to me! It was close for a while, but @philipspringall.bsky.social is as consummate a player as he is a kitbasher. #ageofsigmar #aos #DaBadNekBanditz
Future Me is delighted that new Ogres are running so hot - might just nick Percy's list and run it myself. Current Me is fucked off at how many of my Crimson Keep tricks got blocked by the Maulbeasts... #ageofsigmar #aos #DaBadNekBanditz
I mean... obviously no modern GW kit is going to be as customisable as I want, but the new Ogres weren't bad. And the pointless hard divide between Gutbusters and BCR is very much in the bin. As are... Maneaters. RIP!
4.) Do a well-considered range refresh on the Ogres, replace the ancient resin kits and update the plastics without losing their splendid customisability, throw the Gutbusters/Beastclaw distinction in the bin, and give some love to the best unit in any GW setting, the Maneaters.
I'm pleased to be broadly wrong on my prediction for Sons - whether or not the army plays any better or not with the new tome, doubling the number of kits in the faction isn't a bad thing!
6.) Nobody knows what to do with Sons, the army that is basically two distinct plastic kits with very little way to differentiate either the models or the units. yeop
It's apparently my bi-annual review of my Start Of Edition predictions! And... the persistent rumours that AoS 5e is going to have another crack at an End Times might have had some petrol in the fire...
9.) When AoS 5.0 releases, not a lot will significantly change. It probably won't even need the update, it'll just be the passing of 36 more months on the metronome. It'll be heralded by 6 months of nonsense campaign books with new alternate factions nobody asked for. See you in 30 months!
Dwarfs were my faction of choice before the Ogres, way back 20 years ago. And now we have New Dwarfs coming, and I am... whelmed. They're perfectly fine Dwarfs, but apparently I've gotten used to AoS's higher-fantasy vibe, and they're very... Dwarf. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Actually at a cinema to see Spider-Man. Looking forward to seeing if it's become any less of an unpleasant experience in the last five years.
Did you think we were done with sadness and grief this year? BUCKLE IN AGAIN. We brought our cats to the new house in July, and Pixel, stubborn and self-centered as ever, escaped almost literally immediately. After two months of us looking, we found her two roads over, in a garden. Too late.
I haven't had so many unfinished Ogres in my in-tray since I started The Legion, and today we've got some Cleavers and/or Gutseers so I can run a reinforced unit of the former. Who wants a round of #GuessThatManeater? What units are these guys cosplaying as? #ageofsigmar #aos #TheManeaterLegion
The New Cross Inn may continue to be hotter than a blast furnace, but this was literally a bucket list gig for me last year, and was an absolute blast. So naturally I'll be at this one, and so should you!
We are doing our only live gig of the year on Friday 9th October in London, at the New Cross Inn! Come on over it will be SUPERDUPERAWESOME!
The new Ogres are finally added to MiniCompare. So I can hash out whether I want to convert a Glutthorn to a Squiggoth with a crafty headswap, as can @kitbashedgaming.bsky.social!
Found the painters tape while working on the first, so was able to fix this typo on the GHB cards. #ageofsigmar #aos #warhammercommunity
So after Spooning at my midweek tournament, it was nice to play a slightly friendlier game, and drag a win out of Vhordrai tanking a charge from Ushoran and slapping him down the next turn for Parch. Second ever win for Crimson Keep! #ageofsigmar #aos #DaBadNekBanditz
As someone who's been impatiently waiting years for smart glasses to come back so I can have a HUD for my phone, I am once again fucked off that Musk-worshipping tech bros have ruined something I was excited about. I don't even need another camera, I just want Maps in my glasses 🙁
The rest of the day didn't go much better for the Banditz... game 2 went into an almost identical clone of game 1, and went even worse, and game 3 saw me all but obliterated on the first turn. And since I ducked out early, odds are good I've landed Best Sport and/or Army 🤣
First game of a Wednesday, and what looked like an early lead turned into having all my objectives vanishing and being pinned by snake girls. Next game? Same army again! #ageofsigmar #aos #DaBadNekBanditz
