These ships are off the same class (named after the Königsberg) but the models are subtly different. Very fun to paint.

That's a bit too... spicy for me.

 

One of the Sandworms from the recent board game by CMON - Dune: War for Arrakis.

 

Prinz Eugen was escorting Bismarck when it sunk HMS Hood. The heavy cruiser was the only German capital ship to survive the war.

The escort in this image are three Type 1936A Destroyers that I haven't given specific names yet.

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

A second ship for my Royal Navy fleet. Please don't look too closely at the botched name plate.

 

My first two ships for this game, painted up. I thought this would make a fitting first post for this community.

 

I've recently started getting into naval history, and obviously for me that also meant getting into yet another wargame. These are my first two ships from Victory at Sea by Warlord Games.

It's important to remember that he is certainly still very good at chess, even if he cheated in some games. He wouldn't need to have every move given to him, it might even be enough to give him a single signal that there is a non-obvious great move in a current position. Even just knowing that would probably be enough for him to find it by himself.

Only if we find a convenient Mass Relay. Otherwise it's The Expanse for us.

Good on ya, assuming I'm American (I'm not). Also, classic use of US bad, therefore Russia/China good. Two countries can be overmilitarized imperialists at the same time.

haha yeah or maybe China is an imperialist military dictatorship.

I bought it from Kula Tactical. Took a couple of months to get to me, but I got it eventually. Seems it's out of stock there now, though.

 

Using the Aquarius track kit, as well as some plasticard to cover the firing ports.

Running works the same for me.

I'm still waiting for Silk Song, if that counts.

Here's a version scaled by population (deaths per 100,000 residents). I'm no expert in this kind of thing, so I didn't account for other factors, such as age groups. Also, the data I found using the source in the original graph only went up to 2021, and didn't include 2017 for some reason.

 

I've never actually played airsoft, but I enjoy adding to the collection from time to time.

I'm still not capable of getting a decent, smooth white. This is four thin layers, but I must be doing something wrong.

 

As you can see, I collect Black Templars, so keeping this model as a Librarian wasn't an option. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Please accept the usual apologies for my continued incompetence when it comes to taking pictures.

 

I created this mounted Company Commander for my Guard army years before GW released the Lord Solar, and he seemed like a good fit anyway.
