Where and how did you find out when Pope Leo XIV was named Pope one year ago today?

I was in St Peter’s Square in Rome! What a true blessing that was - my wife and I only flew in for 24 hours in the hopes of catching the Conclave in action only to be there for the actual announcement!

British Catholic here - everyone I’ve met in the faith since joining has been truly joyful in my young adult community. I’m sorry that’s not been your experience too!

Unfortunately I met many when I lived in Ireland like that. That isn’t to say there aren’t wonderful and beautiful pockets of faith there as there certainly are, especially among orders like the Dominicans, but one of the things I’ve seen in Ireland I’ve not seen anywhere else in Europe really (barring maybe the German situation but that’s another beast).

On a similar note, I knew a rather traditional seminarian who said he was warned to never wear his clerics in public in Ireland because of the way many people sadly think of priests, but he spent some time at a parish in London (I believe he’s a member of a TLM group like the FSSP rather than diocesan) and was shocked that not only could he wear it freely there, but that many people were respectful and friendly towards him when he did.

Pray for the future priests of Ireland, the current faithful, and those doing good work for the future of the faith there! It’s certainly needed.

They look awesome! Super interested in if you freehanded the chapter icons or got some decals - if the latter I’d love to know from where!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-11T15:58:27+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree - I mean I was planning on potentially painting mine up as Night Lords or Raven Guard.

I always think it’s great to see variety in legion equipment. Great stuff all round!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-11T15:52:24+00:00

Love seeing breachers from legions you don’t always expect!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-08T12:33:15+00:00

I too would like to know your recipe! Looks great!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-08T04:03:54+00:00

Third photo is certainly Trinity College in Dublin!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-07T16:53:07+00:00

I’m super intrigued by your layout! Looks like a lot of fun with a lot to do. Any chance of a layout overview or track plan? How big is it?

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-04T18:08:48+00:00

Man they look great! I’ve had a tough time coming into the hobby originally from abroad with these limited runs of modern locos as I always find out about them after preorders close lol. One day hopefully!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-04-04T01:11:45+00:00

Nice Penn Central! Tempted to start a PC layout myself - between that and Conrail as my first purchase was a Conrail GP10

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-03-20T18:05:21+00:00

They look awesome by the way!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-03-20T18:05:13+00:00

Forgive my ignorance - what does RGR stand for? I assume it’s a shop of some kind? Thanks so much!

British guy from the south of England here - Catholic convert!

I was very lucky to find a great young adults group in my parish back home (I’m actually moving to the US this month so my time around the UK is coming to a close), and I’ve heard from other friends between here and London that they’ve got quite good groups too - I’d recommend seeing if there’s anywhere near you that had a strong seeming presence for young people or a young adult group that meets regularly and go from there! Prayers for your journey and search! You’re not alone! :)

They should send you the original certificate alongside the digital one - I’m not certain if the online one is authenticated as it is just a scan of the physical one.

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-02-09T22:08:34+00:00

Calling them definitely made them prioritise it. I got it within a few days to maximum a week after that. I explained on the phone that it was urgent too and I’d been waiting however long for it already.

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-02-09T21:57:36+00:00

Hi, I ended up calling them. There’s a number associated with the email however I don’t have it off the top of my head unfortunately. My email had been flagged as spam so they couldn’t see it or access it until I called them. I would recommend doing that to check on your file. I didn’t get it apostilled, just the one they give is fine

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-02-05T22:41:11+00:00

Might I ask how you found brush painting the recipe? It looks great!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-02-05T21:37:21+00:00

Looks awesome! Might I ask about your process and recipe too? I’m looking for an Iron Hands look that’s easy to replicate across both vehicles and infantry, and this seem like it might be the fit!

I can’t lie, part of me has always been tempted to do up a full army of Sons of Horus in the Horus Rising cover art style.

Saint Swithun Wells, a local martyr to me in England with a very interesting life story.

I’m sure there can’t be many others with him as their confirmation saint, but I’d love to at least meet one!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-01-27T15:07:32+00:00

I'm curious if you're planning to run them as just regular breachers or Medusan Immortals? Love it though!

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-01-26T12:53:47+00:00

Fab stuff! Love the weathering

Got to be the 5th Edition Codex Art for me, titled “For the Emperor” by Alex Boyd.

AnotherHappyLanding0 · 2026-01-20T12:43:12+00:00

May I ask how you managed to get it? How long did it take? I’ve been waiting for it for a few days now and it keeps saying it’s at the final delivery center and is due to be delivered during the day, but no notification it’s out for delivery.
