8 sprues of ashigaru in the Grand Battle box means 8 bases of naginata ashigaru, which would be fine if not for Warmaster standard being three bases per unit. Dear Santa...

That awkward moment when you meet an old buddy at a wargaming con and have to buy a coloring book about his dad dying
onlycans@onlycans.bsky.social · last wk.went to a wargaming convention and ended up chatting to someone i knew years ago. now he's an amateur mma fighter running a local non profit inclusive wargaming space, now i'm a woman, but it was fine. however, spoke a bit too long. ended up having to buy an adult colouring book about his dad dying.
Many moons ago, prolly even before I had a printer, I wanted to scan my coverted IG for some reason or another. But that is a great idea in general, right? Converting a large amount of troops for a mass game is a lot of effort and money. But with a scanner and printer...

There was a time when RTS games were moving from 2D to 3D where a review would ding a game for looking "ancient" because it wasn't doing mind-blowing CnC Generals-tier 3D. 20 years later, all those early 3D titles look like shit, and a developer can take any approach if they're good enough.
Casey S. Pumpkins 🎃@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · last wk.I see these kind of people talk down to indie devs all the time, they'll leave comments on social media posts or trailers berating indies for their artstyle saying things like people have moved on from these graphics, they see a specific artstyle as a failing to have kept up with technology.
And I get the same vibe from AI proponents; They simply don't understand art, and think it's beneath them. They don't understand the appeal, they come from a techbro mindset and think art is a solved equation and anything that isn't photorealistic or extremely high detail is failing at the goal.
Work is in progress! By next weekend, I should be finished with yari ashigaru, and then it's just -just- naginata, bow, and teppu ashigaru, and commanders. j u s t
So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.
Absolutely no shade thrown at any hexagon-frame manufacturers, especially not when comparing themselves to such masterclass plastic slingers like Bandai!
Oathmark: The Orc Warlord is now finished and I’m chuffed how well he turned out. I’ve got another ten orcs built, based and ready for painting, which I’ll start today and see if I can get them done in batches of ten. Have a nice weekend! 👍 (Miniature from @northstarfigs.bsky.social ).
