Heavy Gear - Elite Southern Militia Squad (Intelli Gaming: Article) https://read.cash/@Librarian Here are some Dream Pod 9 (DP9) miniatures that I bought around 1998. It was an absolute joy to assemble them and paint them and I did some nice customisation on them also. https://www.dp9.com/ Those miniatures were bigger than the newer ones. I prefer the older ones as it gave more opportunity for customisation. I have customised most of them, often by adding extra weapons and…
Drilling Miniatures (Intelli Gaming: Article) https://read.cash/@Librarian Back in 2015, I finalised an idea that I had in mind for many years. I wanted to drill my *Eltharion* on *Stormwing* miniature and insert a metal piece between the High Elf and the Griffon so that it held better. When I broke it by inadvertence in 2015, it gave me the perfect opportunity to drill the model. I wanted to drill the model so I can reinforce it with metal wire. But drilling must be precise…
Knight to F4: Musk forks China+BTC (The Archive: Article) What has been the **energy cost of Musk's recent tweet** which led to trillions of bytes having to be packaged, compressed, routed, copied, pasted, read and written everywhere on planet Earth and yet here again, as a resized image? https://read.cash/@Librarian **I think he was told to tweet this. It was not his decision. Nor did it originate from Tesla.** It looks too structured. When does he tweet in 3 paragraphs…
Spray painting (not about Covid, BLM, cryptos...) (Intelli Gaming: Article) It is important to prime your miniatures (or walls) so that other colours will stick well. For years, I have used this technique and there's no big secret here. I prime my miniatures white and for that I use a matte spray paint, fast dry, which acts as primer and as paint. But I have also primed miniatures with brushes by hand, both in black and white. White is good for large surfaces where you want…
Miniature Scenery (Intelli Gaming: Article) https://read.cash/@Librarian Some of the scenery that I've created over the years: Trees, sandbags, rock formations, hills, a tower,... a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II? Hidden air bases like this are a great military asset to exert power projection and Anti-Access and Area Denial (A2AD). As with jet-fighters, High Elf archers exert power projection over a region. They do this most effectively when they are deployed on top of a…
Modelling with Green Stuff (Intelli Gaming: Article) https://read.cash/@Librarian This model was packaged with the Heroquest boxed game circa 1994. Heroquest miniatures are very similar to Warhammer miniatures. Citadel miniatures was the company involved in those models, hence the similarities. This miniature is that of an Elf. Originally, it was on a base, all moulded from the same red plastic. Unfortunately, the legs broke off. The sword also broke off. An increased…
Military Upgrades (using glue and green stuff) (Intelli Gaming: Article) https://read.cash/@Librarian It is important for military commanders to adapt quickly to changing situations on the battlefield. Having a wider array of troops at your disposal provides for greater flexibility. I have many chariots in my High Elf army. Some of the rules of Warhammer allow you to have different combinations of models on the chariot. One chariot can carry: Mage and Archer Archer and…
Magic the Gathering: Duel of the Central Bankers (Intelli Gaming: Media) “Higher prices are the symptom, not the cause, of currency collapse.” ― **James Rickards,** **Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis** https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/16451673 This article was originally written in 2014. I had myself some fun editing some fake Magic Cards. I wanted to express my views on what central bankers around the world were doing (printing, printing and more…
