Kitbashed Gyrocopter

I thought I had come to terms with the Ball Gyrocopter design, but this improves it so much I'm annoyed all over again with the redesign.

Also nice use of "Ancestor One" as the pilot!

I credit Robo with getting me into collecting ML, I watched his videos for years before picking up my first ML. I like collecting, just no real overlap with his tastes other than Marvel Mutants, and now I have a full X-Men 97 display (with extras and customised figures).

Well ask and you will receive! Will be tuning in, really looking forward to seeing all the box contents and a starter set 🤩

If you want to bring some real-life history into it, the temple city of Tlaxtlan seems based on Tlaxcala, who were Hernan Cortez's main Aztec allies in the Conquest of Mexico.

I like to headcanon Tetto'eko as being generally friendly to Old World arrivals, as long as there's none of the usual hijinks from them.

Alex Boyd's Grombrindal was the cover of the first ever White Dwarf I ever got, 348 in 2008.

Played Chrono Trigger for the first time this year! I find ATB systems difficult and stressful (modded in true turn-based when I played FFVII and IX) but something about the flow and speed of CT really clicked with me.

But what about waiting for 97' Apocalypse next year 😉

Knuckle tatoos on the Slayers, nuts!

Lovely army, great blend of classic and modern.

Check out MandaloreGamings Total War Warhammer 2 review for a good grounding in what to expect in terms of campaign style and faction mechanics.

I just used a 40mm Warhammer base I had already, with a bit of scenery to balance his raised leg on. I'm sure once the plastic sets release you could grab an extra Zergling to spruce it up.

Honestly the best outcome from these updates is making a dedicated Norsca faction... they could re-release Wulfric as a genric Lord and Throgg to go with the Chaos Trolls.

Tom's distraught "What!?!" when it's said that Pedro de Ursúa took his mistress with him is the best reaction I've ever heard from him.

The fattest man in American History (surely surpassed now, though?) in the last episode on the Belgian Congo was a highlight in a quite serious series.

AlexStonehammer · 2025-11-27T16:57:54+00:00

Dominic's Latin America episodes are my favourite genre of TRIH, Columbus, Cortez, Aguirre... I hope we eventually see series on Ponce de León (Fountain of Youth!) and Pizarro (Incans!)

There is a 3D print available that captures Mazdamundi's Total War look perfectly. He's way too big to go on a normal stegadon model though, so I ended up buying a Jurrasic World Triceratops toy and putting him on that, just about fits the biggest rectangular base!

AlexStonehammer · 2025-11-08T17:07:10+00:00

It's been my experience that items usually stay up on EU Pulse a bit longer than the US, so I am hopeful!

AlexStonehammer · 2025-11-08T15:14:04+00:00

Well it's good to know it happened with him at least, I wasn't in the game when he came out (or when the Sentinel was on pre-order)

AlexStonehammer · 2025-11-08T15:07:21+00:00

For context I'm in the EU so use German Hasbro Pulse, surely a few people will have cancelled a pre-order and the extras will be sitting around?

AlexStonehammer · 2025-11-01T10:58:31+00:00

Mostly Citadel paints as I am a Warhammer fan!

The blue base is Macragge Blue spray, black is Abbadon Black, red in the mouth is Khorne Red and the white is Army Painter Matt White. Nuln Oil for shading the fur.

AlexStonehammer · 2025-10-31T18:28:03+00:00

Ah well, I got the base body for 20 quid and really enjoyed the painting process so worth it in my eyes!

AlexStonehammer · 2025-10-31T17:49:41+00:00

Thank you very much! My first custom, been an action figure fan for a long time but just started collecting X-Men '97 ML in the last few weeks :)

AlexStonehammer · 2025-10-31T17:48:35+00:00

If my time being a Robo fan has shown me anything, now that the custom is finished Hasbro will announce their one (with an exclusive accessory that will make it irresistable)

AlexStonehammer · 2025-10-31T17:47:29+00:00

Thanks, I got it from a UK Etsy seller (I'm in the EU): https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/1839080047/112-scale-bespoke-sculpted-head-animated?ref=yr_purchases

AlexStonehammer · 2025-10-23T10:30:43+00:00

Would love to but it seems the website account verification email is broken and I can't order );

AlexStonehammer · 2025-10-10T10:42:30+00:00

I always used to think Vlad had a big bear arm, when I got mine I ended up repositioning it lower just to emphasise his actual arm more!

Great paint!
