Hopefully this will begin soon, along with expansion of public transport and making roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians.

To follow on from the 'Gathering of Might' image I posted earlier, I was lucky enough to see the Chaos Dwarf minis used in that game in the flesh (or rather lead) on a trip to Warhammer World. Plus some Lizardmen

Did JJ Watt get some inspiration from the USMNT shirt for this Burnley FC away shirt he has designed. (extra points to anyone who can name the Burnley celebs featured in this launch video)

I posted a couple of images from 90s battle reports earlier in the week. Well, this battle report really was the ultimate; 'A Gathering of Might'. Anyone want to calculate the points cost in 4th ed. Warhammer? What about replaying it with The Old World rules?
From what I've seen of the Chaos Dwarfs, the Bull Centaurs are all monster size now, rather than just very strong heavy cavalry. Other units don't directly translate either, like the Netters, Kislev Winged Lancers or a few others.

Mayor expands 'baby bundle' scheme to 10,000 per year
Great stuff from our Bev!
The mayor said "it's about a helping hand, not a give-away" and "it's saying to mums and dads at the moment their life changes with a new baby that there's support on hand".
She added: "If we don't get those first 1,000 days right of a young child's life then too often the statistics say their life chances have already been determined.
"Let's get in early, offer support for mums and dads and get that young baby off to the best start, and that will reap dividends during the course of their life, in school, in college and in their place of work."

Revenge of the Doomlord! Empire vs Undead. And not a single Vampire or Tomb King to be seen! Instead, it's the Doomlord Himself riding a (not undead) Manticore.
Skeletons with crossbows, winged lancers, the best version of Steam Tank ever released, screaming skull catapults plus those amazing plastic skeleton chariots.
Oh! And a War Wagon!

Our biggest Warmaster tournament yet! Close-up shots of my Vampire Counts and freshly painted Lizardmen 🦇🦎
This weekend our local community held its biggest Warmaster tournament so far, and it turned out to be an amazing day.
The Battle for the Harvest ended with yet another victory for the Elves… but I’m sure the Vampire Counts will have their revenge one day. 🩸
What makes me happiest, though, isn’t the result. It’s seeing our community continue to grow. Every tournament brings new players, new armies, and more beautifully painted miniatures to the table. It’s especially exciting for me because I only discovered Warmaster not that long ago, and it’s been great watching the local scene expand.
Here are a few close-up shots of my Vampire Counts alongside my freshly painted Lizardmen army from the event.
Out of curiosity, what did you like about Warmaster that made you fall in love with it in the first place?

The two opposing armies from the 'A Gauntlet of Fear' battle report from White Dwarf 178 and The Chronicles of War book.
Two fantastic looking armies which, unusually for White Dwarf battle reports these were quite 'unbalanced' forces with the Empire army being very cavalry heavy and the Greenskin force having Orc Big Bosses command goblin units and a Black Orc warlords (Morglum) leading a unit of Savage Orcs. This was more of a competitive type game or 'Beardy' to use the terminology of the day.

In Kherson, a Russian fiber-optic FPV drone chased and then attacked a fruit vendor who had come to the market this morning to sell. As a result of the attack, a 52-year-old resident received an explosive injury, concussion, and shrapnel wounds, he is receiving necessary medical care.

What made the old hand built scenery from GW publications so brilliant?
In my opinion, it was the added little details, like the bench and barrels around the Inn, the bushes and ivy on the watchtower, the cart next to the barn (I love the hotpot), the cool staircase, all the gargoyles and the wizarding equipment on the roof of the wizard's tower.
One day, maybe one day.

Does anyone if this Tavern model still exists at GW HQ?
This was always my favourite piece of scenery that was used in the photography back in the 90s. I tried to build it as a kid, and failed miserably. You could still see Tony the Tiger through the thin brown paint.
Maybe one day I'll have another bash.
Does anyone know if it still exists in GW HQ or even the museum they have there?

Stadium selection for Euro 2028. Why the Everton and Manchester City stadiums instead of the much larger Anfield and Old Trafford?
Just seems an odd choice.
