Some of the greatest indie miniatures that you never heard of, apparently. Glib. Posts a lot of non hobby stuff as well. Not 100% serious https://heresyminiatures.com/shop

Gutted, I've painted loads of really cool minis from @heresyminiatures.com but 100% family come first, if you've got a few spare quid why not pick something up while you can? #nerdlings

Reminder that this might be the last month i can take orders if you had your eye on some #miniatures. Reckon it'll take two months to sell the range & machinery off & empty the workshop, and my financial year ends on Oct 31st. People just aren't buying enough and my wife needs me to care for her

This is what the forests of Kharkiv region look like today: covered in thousands of kilometers of fiber-optic cables left by Russian drones. This deadly "web" is almost invisible, but its impact on nature is devastating. 📹: 57th Motorized Brigade

Woman from Derby Wellbeing (mental health support team on behalf of NHS) rang to see if she could talk to my wife yet and we had a chat about things and it was quite depressing. My wife needs help but refuses all help point blank because of her paranoia about the motives of said offers etc.

This incredible 3,400-year-old wig is made from locks of human hair! It belonged to an ancient Egyptian woman named Merit. Styled with ringlets and braids, it’s astonishingly well preserved and offers a remarkable glimpse into the hairstyles of her time! Museo Egizio, Turin. 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a well-preserved ancient Egyptian wig crafted from locks of dark brown human hair. The locks were sewn together and braided. The hair is parted in the middle and curled into ringlets that end with braids on either side of the face and on the back of the neck. Dimensions 30 cm x 45 cm. Dated c. 1425-1353 BC. This type of hairstyle was often decorated with flowers and diadems, which were very fashionable in the mid-18th dynasty, as can be seen in paintings and statues of the period.

The wig belonged to a high-ranking woman called Merit. She was the wife of Kha, the chief of works who supervised the royal tomb construction workers. The intact tomb of Kha and Merit (TT8) was discovered in 1906 by Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli in the Theban Necropolis at the royal tomb workers’ village of Deir-el-Medina. The wig is on display at the Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Turin.

I've been given a bit of free reign for my Case Studies lectures and am looking to stuff them full of wonderful examples based on existing worlds in literature, film, and games. So I'll be asking for lots of ideas. First one: Your best #sci-fi #villains and why. Go!
