Online since before some of you were born. Tired. Lead Software Developer, but I usually don't talk about it. He/him/his. Scotland ⚠️Potential to post Warhammer content This one time, my brain exploded — https://chrismcleod.dev https://chrismcleod.photos
Update: Ebay has been plundered for my favourite 5th Edition Bretonnian miniatures, and the Stillmania articles from old issues of White Dwarf have been looked out...
Chris M@chrismcleod.dev · 21h agoI'd largely let Warhammer: The Old World pass me by, on the recognition that a regular WHFB army is just Too Damn Much for me to collect at this stage in my life. Then I read today's WarCom article on Battle March and had such a wave of nostalgia I might not be able to hold back any longer 🫠

Managed to snag a copy of The Wicked and the Warped special edition, *just* 🙌🏻 By the time I finished the checkout process it was showing as sold out
Realised I had a gaping hole in my movie collection, which I’ve now fixed: 10 Spider-man films on blu-ray, from HMV, for £46 🙌🏻
Had one of those afternoons at work where you end up thinking too hard, for too long. Feeling pretty wiped out now 🫠
A quick one on how a troll acquires new clothes. (With a lot of my interest in troll and goblin fashion raised by the wonderful @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social)
Playing around with parts while on a call-out. Blood Angel players aren’t the only ones who can get some nostalgia out of the Armageddon box… #Nerdlings #WarhammerCommunity
I got a decent deal on eBay for some 40k 2nd edition metal space marines, but it’s making my eye twitch they’re coming with 3rd edition plastic components. Gonna have (to spend more money) to change that…
Training survived. Now waiting to check-in to the online exam. It's currently 28ºC in the room I'll need to take the exam in, and I'll have to close the door before the exam starts 🥵
Chris M@chrismcleod.dev · 4w agoI've got a couple of days of training, and then a certification exam at the weekend, and oh mod, I forgot how onerous online exams could be with regards to what is and isn't allowed in the room
Genuinely hating this course, but only because people keep interrupting and arguing highly pedantic, granular, points on the slides that are meant to be the high level introduction to each topic. The detail is coming - we can see it in the shared learning material!

Really hating that the plastic components for 2nd edition 40K character models are seemingly rarer than hens teeth, and priced to match
now before youse start complaining, that was a front page. This was only an inner page. Doesnae count.
Happy 19th anniversary to the greatest Scottish newspaper front page of all time.
Managed to get job 1 done between showers by enlisting Mrs. K into helping me with the front hedge, so we got the whole lot done in ~1h. I’m never going to hear the end of it though. No chance of doing the back hedges today though. Guess it’ll have to wait another 2 weeks, at least

My High Elves successfully defended their home against a host of Chaos Warriors! It was a crazy back and forth in this 750 points battle march game, super happy to see this format getting further pushed by GW #warhammercommunity #theoldworld #warhammer #warhammerfantasy #nerdlings
