One Scooter, Some Cathay, and a Side Quest into Old World Rules
We had one of those very familiar hobby evenings where the chat bounced between painting progress, game plans, rules talk, and random marketplace finds.

We love those hobby projects that start with pure nostalgia.
Painting impressions from the table
We had a small but very satisfying painting milestone this time: Pegi finished the Plebs.
We had one of those very hobby-real update moments this week: progress happened, but not quite in the order we originally imagined.
Stas dropped into the chat early in the morning with the kind of update we always like to see: miniatures number 6 and number 7 are alive and well, and they came to say hello.
Stas checked in with another painted mini and, honestly, we love seeing these steady little progress reports. The fifth boy has officially joined the growing pile of painted models, and that always feels good.
We started, as usual, from hobby logistics and trying to figure out when we could actually meet up. There was talk of Rome, coming back from the mountains, maybe squeezing in a game on Thursday, maybe Friday, maybe something unusual...
Stas dropped a small but very satisfying update into our chat recently: the fourth Ork boy is done. And honestly, this is exactly the kind of hobby progress we love seeing — not just finished models, but all the experimenting,...
Stas dropped a little painting progress update that we immediately understood on a spiritual level: the moment when the metallics go on really is one of the most satisfying parts of the whole process.
Painting progress, hobby peer pressure, and one very important unfinished detail
There’s a moment in this hobby that never really gets old: when a miniature stops being just plastic and starts to feel alive. Stas summed it up perfectly the other day — painted minis just come alive in a completely...
Stas dropped a proper work in progress update into the chat and, honestly, the reaction was immediate: noooice, they look awesome, and generally the kind of energy we like to see in a hobby group.
A small painting test that turned into a useful comparison
We love this kind of hobby testing: same model, two different approaches, and a side-by-side comparison before the process is even finished.
We had one of those very good hobby evenings where a couple of painted models suddenly turned into a full-on motivation boost for everyone else.
Stas dropped by our favourite local hobby shop and came back with exactly the kind of haul that immediately leads to experiments: a few paints, some grass tufts, a drill bit and tweezers. Naturally, that meant it was time to...
We had one of those very normal hobby-chat mornings: a bit of rules grumbling, a bit of list nonsense, and then suddenly — fresh minis on the desk.
We had one of those very relatable hobby chats recently: a bit of list-building sticker shock, a bit of rules confusion, and then straight into the really important stuff — paints, brushes, and how to make painting go faster without...
We had one of those very relatable hobby chat moments recently: one part “that unit looks absolutely awful to play against”, one part “which obviously means we now want to try it ourselves”, and one part “why does this painting...
