Getting into the Gunch

Articles, Hobby, News
The nice thing about hanging out with lots of like-minded hobby folk is that on occasion, they unite to have wholesome good times. One of those times has recently come! The Golden Gunch 2024, not to be called The Gunchies, was a little two month long painting contest organised in our little hobby community, Roll Models. In this article we catch up with many of the entrants who share some of their work in progress and final models. First though, it would be good to define a few of the rules. To keep things simple, models were limited to a…

Narrative Skirmishes in the Realm of Death Hello! Eager listeners to the podcast may have heard rumour of the AOS28 event that our community ran in June 2023... It was a lovely time! Fun had by all!

Getting Into Kill Team

Articles, Gaming, ,
The unending wars of the 41st Millennium are not only fought with titans, tanks and hordes of soldiers - sometimes victory is secured by small teams of specialist operatives fighting in the shadows. Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team allows you to play out these shadow wars. Kill Team: Octarius, the first Kill Team starter set. (Image Credit: Warhammer Community) In this article, I will explain what Kill Team is and how it plays, touch a little on why I think it’s great, and how you (yes, you!) can dive into the murky world of special operations in the 41st Millennium. All…

What’s better than 1 giant hell demon model in an army? Well, 4 giant hell demon models of course. But what sort of mad fool would do that, and why? Those of you that heard my hobby plans for 2022 on the Christmas Tiny Plastic People Pod (and if you don’t, you really should listen to the pods) may remember me unconvincingly stating the first half of 2022 was all about the backlog. Who needs new models? Me. I do. I must own all the plastic crack. So barely a couple of weeks had passed since making that comment, than…

Mawtribes on the March

Articles
The first thing you notice is the smell. A foul odour, carried on the wind. The animals notice it first. Birds scatter and the horses struggle in their reins. Then the bite of frost catches in your throat. Your breath leaps out to greet you, hanging in the air to assure you this is no mere trick of the mind. The third is the noise, the crashing of hooves, the cracking of earth, the roar of the ancient hunters. Ogors are monstrous. They want to fight and eat their way through the Mortal Realms in an all-you-can eat-buffet of barbarism.…

My Favourite Tool: Pipe Cutter

Hobby
My Favourite Tool. A fly-by look at one tool in the hobby space - what it’s for and why it’s good. Pipe Cutter This time: A pipe cutter. I have two of these tools, a larger plumbing sized one and a smaller hobby version. Both are great ways to produce smooth and hassle free cuts in piping. They’re intended for metal, but they’ll also do a reasonable job on plastic. Each one is a thread which tightens to clamp the pipe against a rolling blade. Then you rotate the tool/pipe until the repeated pressure quickly cuts through the pipe wall.…

Cultin’ 2: Took Forever Boogaloo

Uncategorized
Rain howls on a dark and stormy night. Chain link fences rattle in the stiff breeze. Guard dogs bark, jumping up at the fence as men in military uniforms make their way towards a gate. They enter, a searchlight momentarily blinding as it sweeps across a small compound. The men move towards a steel cage. Inside, a person, cross legged, head bowed. One of the military men is talking, they toss a communication device into the cage. The figure in the cage picks it up and turns away. “How does it feel to play the traitor?” asks the soldier. The…
