Grombrindal - the White Dwarf - seen here in the guise of a captain of the Ironbreakers, as he appeared at the battle of Drakescale Pass, where forces of the Khazâd held for a day and a night against vast hordes of Orcs and their trollish allies. #nerdlings

A dwarf with a large beard and a shock of hair, both white. He wears heavy armour in fairly utilitarian iron, carrying a large octagonal shield on his back and leaning upon a large axe.

In this case, I'm matching some Saxon STLs I've got with my mate's Victrix Vikings - I've got the knights to compare my prints to to make sure I'm not way out of wack and I'm scaling roughly right, but didn't want to rely on the knights if they were some sort of different scale! ☺️

As far as I can tell, yes, but scale is a discussion that's been popping up recently and the consensus seems to be that slight variations aren't that jarring. Humans are different sizes, so it's ok for minus to vary slightly; as long as you're not mixing 54mm in with 28, you should be good.

Weird question, but does anybody with experience of Victrix miniatures know whether their scale is internally consistent across their ranges? That is to say - are their medieval knights and footmen the same scale as their Vikings and Saxons? One would expect so, but I'm not gonna assume! #nerdlings

I had my final appointment at the GIC today. Got the hormones, had the laser, done the voice coaching, and I'm a poor candidate (read: too fat) for anything more invasive. Weirdly emotional. For years this was the point I was striving for, and now... into the sunset, I guess?

Fun fact: there have been more rapes by US airmen on UK soil in the past 20 years than sex crimes ever committed by all trans people in the history of the country You do not see TERFs mentioning that when they talk about "protecting women"

CW: rape US military bases in the UK are effectively acting as consequence-free rape centres. They should all be shut down. Why aren't the "protect our women and girls" crew storming these bases?

Headline and standfirst from the Guardian:

'Degrading': why did a US fighter pilot avoid British trial after strangling a woman in England?
Jacob Wulfson's fellow airmen decided his fate after a court martial at RAF Lakenheath-a distressing week for Sarah Steele, the academic he assaulted

UK news blackout: Around 150,000 attend trans pride = Silence. 7 trans prisoners in Scotland are relocated = Silence. Widespread abuse of trans and intersex patients in the NHS = Silence. Trans children unsafe at school, at risk of abuse, and suicides have happened = Silence.

But you see, I do not want to go home and log onto my work emails, I want to enter this den I found, eating the treats I have from the bakery down the road, and hiss at passers by. I shall make friends with squirrels and birds and the nicer kind of bug, oh yes, and smell of soil and leaves.

A den, made from a fallen tree and bushes with branches laid on top.

I don't follow the sportsball and I doubt I ever will, but I've very much enjoyed the bluesky commentary. I understand we're not a fan of the Argentines, something called VAR is contentious, there's a goofy neanderthal playing for Norway, and everybody loves the Scots. Am I about there?

Big important day of meetings today. Like, this is the reason I have a job important. Happens twice a year and I can't fuck this up. I can't be stressed, don't be silly, does this look stressed to you?
