Adventures in Wargaming

You can tell it’s summer as this week’s post is missing many of the big names (who I assume are taking a well-needed break). However, there are still plenty of exciting things to talk about, with releases, previews and more! Read on for all the details!
After last week’s cleaning, this week I actually got some more hobby stuff done. I’ve been learning to make bread with the breadmaker my mum and dad passed onto me after replacing their own. But you’re not here to hear about that, you’re here to hear about the painting I got done in preparation for my day of Old Worlding with the Regular Opponents and old friends. So let’s jump in and talk about that! Before that though, a quick post. The MDF sales are still up – I’m going to do a larger push to try and get more…
September is here and although my hobby time this week was limited, the news releases were not. With updates from all the usual characters, it’s a great mix of new releases and previews. Read on for more! As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up each week.

Another week has gone by so it’s time for a new update. I’m going to be brutally honest, this week was definitely not a big hobby one. Due to preparing for a family visit (and getting the house sorted), I spent most of the week tidying my hobby stuff away rather than using it. The visit went well though and a clean house means a clean mind. Speaking of housekeeping, let’s talk about the blog. The MDF sales are still up. I’ve actually posted out a few buildings this week – if they have survived their trip to a reasonable…
I was away for two weeks, and luckily nothing major happened. Only a pile of new releases, previews, rules announcements and more. So basically I can never take a holiday ever again. As a moment of note, this is the 52nd News Stand, meaning we’ve been running for just over a year! There have been a few weeks off but it’s great to see how things have moved forward and evolved. The list of companies I keep track of for each week has grown, always a good sign of a markets continual improvement and evolution. Here is to another 52…
Phew! I took a break over the last week, extending out a little weekend trip down to London into a full on time off. I will admit, I did originally intend to do a whole lot of painting ready for my Old World weekender but in the end, I was busy doing other things – seeing family, nipping down to London to watch AEW’s All In at Wembley and just getting some sleep. The last few months have been pretty stressful and it’s been playing merry hell with me actually getting some rest. Hopefully, my little break is going to…

We’ve passed the Summer Equinox so it’s probably time to update on the grander scale plans for my hobby time for the rest of the year. So far it’s not been the best in terms of raw painted model production, but as you can see from the blog I have been keeping busy. The current big project is The Old World. I am frantically painting up my army ready for our weekend in September where we’ll be bringing 1500 points for two days of battling – one as a series of smaller games while the final day will be one…
Lots of new updates on this week’s edition of The News Stand – new Spectre releases, more previews from pretty much everyone and even a new podcast to listen to. Programming note – The News Stand will not be here next week as I will be down at Wembley watching the wrestling. So expect a bumper edition when I get back As always, thanks to the News Fans and other patrons over on the ChargeBlog patreon for buying my time to make this wrap-up each week.
