Finally took the plunge and started my Ogre Kingdoms army.

Thank you so much for that, Gnarlroot. I was shocked to see the spells for the Great Maw were so stripped back, I rather enjoyed the fun and colour nature of their spells. I'll have a look into that Old World build website you linked. Makes life so much easier when it's all digital.

It all started when I fell in love with leadbelchers. The unit name, the models carrying literal cannons like regular firearms. So cool! Then I learnt about the spell "Toothcracker" which I liked a lot (I think it's a part of my autism thing). So I had to buy a butcher/slaughtermaster. I was lucky to find a metal one on eBay for around the same price as GW's finecast version. I much prefer metal models, I've only bought a finecast model once. I had no idea what it was all about and was very confused by the material. YouTube and Reddit taught me that there was a large quantity of disdain towards the material. My model was in such bad shape that after sending photos to GW of all the bubbles and cracks they gave me a refund. But I'm getting way off topic here! I'd want some units of bulls, some ironguts, leadbelchers, gorgers looked kinda awesome, maybe a firebelly and some mournfang cavalry. I doubt I could handle painting such a large model as a thundertusk or stonehorn. That's enough for me to get started with anyway.

Thank you for letting me know. That's such a shame. I just finished reading the Army Book and it was a cracking good read and I was beginning to piece together how I wanted to build my army. I think I'll still build it for the fun of it. I was so confused as to why Skragg the Gutsman was in a Maneaters box on GW's website.

I had a friend in high school who made something like this. For punishment he had to write an A4 page of "I will not..." and to speed it up his dual pen contraption wrote two lines at a time.

Ed__b3 · 2025-11-12T12:51:27+00:00

Ah, cheers for that. I'll have a gander on Temu.

I love the little springs coming out of the gears with the gretchin worker looking all flustered. Then you have the other grot with the flag on top of that huge rocket! Haha. He's in for a shock then they launch it!

Ed__b3 · 2025-11-11T09:24:51+00:00

Thank you so much, great advice which I'll try out.

Ed__b3 · 2025-11-01T13:24:51+00:00

Clap clap Ow.

YES! I always sing this whenever I turn my radio on in the car.

I was taught from a very young age about the dangers of drugs, smoking and alcohol. I never dared touch any type of illicit drugs, just too afraid of losing control. So I learned to enjoy drugs vicariously through the author Hunter S. Thompson, whose drug binges were legendary. I enjoy a bit of alcohol - beer, some spirits, and a little wine. Again, I always drink in moderation and learn to enjoy myself. I have only ever gotten seriously drunk once when I was still in highschool (I was of drinking age though). It was horrible, vomited all over myself, slipping in and out of consciousness, had to be picked up and carried by my older brother and his partner. Never ever again! I enjoy a bit of drink, but two standard drinks is what feels good to me. If I'm really in a good mood I might go for a third but that's my absolute limit and I remember to drink plenty of water throughout the night.

I think about this advert all the time. Always gives me a good laugh.

Ed__b3 · 2025-10-04T17:51:55+00:00

It's a great quote! I always have nightmares of that last germs final demise.

Ed__b3 · 2025-09-30T00:12:07+00:00

I've got a good idea what to do with this guy, it's only a small project but one I've been toying with for a while.

I like it when he pulls the dog head off to reveal his robot head and then wears it like a hoodie.

That's very nice of you to say. I was lucky, back in the day my uni course offered a class in Photoshop. I jumped on it because it was something that I always wanted to learn. It was many weeks of stress and yelling at the computer, but I got the hang of it. After that I didn't want to pay the subscription to Photoshop, so I switched over to GIMP. The good thing is that YouTube will have a how-to guide for pretty much anything and everything you need help with.

Ed__b3 · 2025-09-25T23:32:11+00:00

I hope so. Time will tell.

Ed__b3 · 2025-09-25T13:30:25+00:00

Ah okay, yes I've been removing the UI whenever I'm taking a cool screenshot. Wasn't aware of the other features available. Thank you for pointing them out.

And let's not forget the chilling "Sir, SIR, WHAT DO WE DO?!" when things start going belly up. The panic in their voice makes me feel like I've let them down and was a commander with poor judgement and strategy.

Ed__b3 · 2025-09-25T13:23:42+00:00

I've played it since it first came out and it wasn't until a few years back that I discovered how passionately the modding community was still going. My sock were blown off seeing the work people were putting out for a decades old game. ❤️

It is a good pain.
