@templar007 the first three books are really “the Dune series”; book four it goes off the rails – hard. Anything after that is unreadable in my opinion.

The Sting movie was good but judged by Star Wars and other movies of its time (Alien, too!), it was … Dune, but weak.

The modern movies are marginally better; I find Timothy Chalomet insufferable in movies and real life; Zendaya and the mother who is also in Silo (brilliant show!) carry the movies, I think.

Fully agree I want those minis! They are Dune through and through.

Sadly, I am not a fan of STL or 3D printing, the tech is so close but still not “there” for me. So much so that I stopped doing commission painting as literally half of the 40K armies are now printed! GW can’t make enough minis fast enough, I guess. I had a bad incident of poorly cured models that really enlightened me as to the worst possible case of the 3D printing.

 

Bonus music because I tried out the Doug Wimbish signature bass today. In an age of rap, these guys rocked.
