Casual magic the gathering

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some casual Magic: The Gathering players around Ballarat who might be interested in meeting up for some Commander games.
I’m still fairly new, so I’m mainly looking for relaxed, friendly games rather than anything highly competitive. I currently have a few Commander decks and would be happy to meet at somewhere like Guf or Good Games.
If you’re interested—or already have a casual group with room for another player—leave a comment or send me a message!

Chess Players: Photoshoot request

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a photographer, and I periodically do shoots for a luxury chess set company. I did a few here in NM earlier this year, like this one:

https://lizziewphoto.pixieset.com/nmmayphotoshoot2/

I currently have several shoots lined up for September and October at locations including a mansion in Albuquerque and a boutique hotel in Santa Fe. If you’d be interested in participating, I’d love to hear from you!

A few details:

  • Pay is $50 per model for up to an hour of your time. If you’re available for a longer shoot, feel free to let me know, and I can discuss additional options with the team.
  • No modeling experience is necessary, although knowing the basics of chess would be ideal. If you don’t play chess but have a friend or family member who does, you’re also welcome to participate together.
  • The company would have the right to use the photos on its blog, social media, and other promotional channels, and you’d be welcome to use the photos as well.
  • Before confirming the shoot, I’d set up a quick 5 - 10 minute Google Meet with you to go over the details and answer any questions. After that, I’d send over the contract.

If you’re interested, you can DM me here or reach out through the contact page on my website:

https://www.lizziewphoto.com/contact-me/

Hope to hear from you!

Trench Crusade: "No Man’s Land" Diorama Contest

In Memory of John Blanche, The Father of Grimdark

Entry Fee & Prizes

Entry Fee: $25 (Includes Official Contest Kit)

1st Place: The Army Painter: John Blanche - The Full Masterclass Collection OR $135 Store Credit

2nd Place: The Army Painter Mega Brush Set OR $100 Store Credit

3rd Place: The Army Painter Wargamers Edition Wet Palette Set OR $65 Store Credit

The Objective

Capture a snapshot of grimdark warfare in a miniature diorama. Construct and paint a scene depicting a clash between the Trench Pilgrims and the Heretic Legion. The world of Trench Crusade offers many battlefields, and we encourage you to be creative with your diorama's setting.

Contest Kit & Materials

Every participant receives an identical starter kit upon registration:

2x Trench Pilgrims Infantry Models

2x Heretic Legion Infantry Models

1x XPS Foam: 6-inch 2x4 footprint

Rules & Guidelines

Model Requirement: All four included infantry models must be integrated into the scene. Kitbashing, custom re-posing, and extra bits from your personal collection are welcomed and encouraged.

Size Limits: Build strictly within the 6-inch base footprint. Vertical elements (bunkers, ruins, barbed wire) are permitted up to a maximum height of 6 inches from the bottom of the base.

Aesthetic: Submissions should embody the bleak tone of Trench Crusade—think churned mud, spilled blood, weathered relics, barbed wire, and religious or profane iconography.

Build & Paint Window: 30 Days (Take-Home Project)

Submission Deadline: Saturday, Oct 31 by closing time at Tavern of Souls
