This is the rarest miniature I own- the Robin Hood Dwarf.
This was only available at the launch of the Nottingham Games Workshop store.
It was a gift from a fan, who lost a dear friend and inherited their dwarf collection. I needed it to complete my John Blanche diorama. Image
This, however, is a one off. It is the actual mini shown in White Dwarf and Ratspike, converted and painted by John Blanche himself.

And it's on the shelf behind me. Image
This is also a one off that appeared in White Dwarf. It was part of a giant entered into the first ever Golden Demon awards. I found it badly damaged and restored it. ImageImage

#Gamedev tip.
Many games are replayable, but instantly lose that immediacy of exploration and discovery of puzzle pieces.

Something you can do to give your game a longer life is to use the modular nature of your level building to shuffle up some elements on replay.
Imagine you are playing a Resident Evil style game.
In this section, you escape zombies in the street, lock yourself in a garage and must find the fuse to get the locked door to open to advance.
Okay, so think about this as a simple lock and key inside a box.
The position of that box can change, and if you change the lock and key, suddenly the whole scene plays differently.

So if you make the street modular and have three slots and three boxes, the garage may be in any one of the three slots.

Now avoiding the zombies is fresh as...

One of the issues with my collection of miniatures is that I don't have enough space to display them. They mostly live in storage.
As a result, I don't get to see the progress I have made painting them, and forget how many I have actually done.
I hope one day I get to see it.
I had an hour or so at my lock-up tonight and got to have a look through some of the tubs and it really lifted my spirits.
It also reminded me that my memory is terrible, as I didn't know I owned a bunch of them already.

:\
I mean it all looks like this... and when you consider how many tubs I have... it's... a lot.

There are a lot of videos on youTube that are speed focused- "build dark souls in a weekend', 'model a level in an hour' etc.

Please don't let these videos warp your expectations on how fast you should accomplish things. They do not reflect actual development times.
Games develop. Develop being the key word... like an old school photograph developing in chemical bath.
These videos usually use premade assets. In a game, those assets may not show up for months, and may change during the gameplay.

We would never speed build a location...
...because the game designers would usually need to block out the gameplay first.

So, take in these videos with your mind set to inspiration... not expectation.

Especially if you are learning new tools and workflows.

We don't just need to cancel student debt, we need to ban it, and rebuild our education system to serve business, not BE a business.

Businesses benefit from the students knowledge and hope, and their taxes should build that.
Students should worry about nothing but learning their subjects and getting prepared for their future.

Education should be for everybody, and be a time of fearless growth and picturing a better future.
Keeping people in debt and uneducated helps grind down the wages. It serves those at the top.

It is a terrifying idea to have a country full of smart, thinking, educated and debt free people.

Especially when all classes and races benefit from it.

Anyone else want some mystery 80s miniatures identified or valued?

For me it's soothing, like doing a crossword.
I can pretty much ID most stuff from the 70s to 80s now. Fuzzy on the 90s as they where mostly ABSOLUTE SHIT.

:)
DM. This, sir, is a Kryomek. Before citadel borrowed the look for their Tyranids, Kryomek was huge. The models are still in production and available at Scotia Grendel miniatures.
