  • Project Update: May 2024

    Oh yeah, we’re doing this again. As much as I do my SITREPs and updates when things happen, sometimes you need that monthly update to keep your eye on the sheer number of plates you’re spinning. I’m going to write them at the start of each month, and do a quick once over what’s been…

  • Operation Drop Bear – Building The Platoon

    I’ve previously mentioned that, as part of my Long War series against the tactics of the Dastardly Regular Opponent, we would shortly begin a Pint Size Campaign-inspired set of missions pitting our tactical minds against each other in the deserts of North Africa. After some research, and agreeing to play some games with the Germans…

  • Looking Back, Looking Forward – 2023

    2022 is over and a new one has begun! Traditionally, at this point, I’d break out the stats and graphs, show you the diagrams, and then talk about the plans I have for the year. Then we’d laugh at all the stuff I promised I’d do last year and then didn’t get around to, slap…

  • November 2022 Recap – Things Getting Busy

    Okay, so literally on the day I’m writing this, I’m looking through and signing a big pile of paperwork that should be finishing off my house purchase. This whole thing has been kind of a nightmare the entire way (and there is still stuff that needs doing even after I pass the money over) but…

  • October 2022 Recap – So Much Stuff I Can’t Come Up With A Witty Title

    Dear god, where has the year gone? As an update, still fighting through the house shenanigans and waiting for some more paperwork to go through. That said, I’m still working to push forward, try out new things and keep on the grind for the old. I’m also feeling a little bit better about things in…

  • September 2022 Recap – Not Much Painting, A Lot Of Writing

    Holy crap we’re into October already. When did that happen? House stuff is still rambling on, not helped by the current joyride the UK Economy is currently having. For this reason, I still have all my hobby gear up and running, the 3D printer still slamming away and I’ve been trying to find time for…

  • SITREP: Famous By Our Swords!

    As you may know, I am very much of fantasy games. Having let myself buy more than just moderns, I decided to go hard into getting all the fantasy figures I’d always wanted, but never got around to getting armies for. Combine that with 3d printing giving me all the figures I might want for…

  • August 2022 Update – Necromunda, Bazistan and Awbari

    We’re into September now. As reported last time, house buying is still underway – a technical glitch by one of the parties has slowed it but we’re working with what we have to keep it going. Because of that, I’m still continuing to start packing things up, slowly collapsing into boxes. I’m reluctant to really…

  • July 2022 Update – Counter-Intel, Remote Gaming and Dark Elves

    It’s the end of a new month and we’re now entering August. In the real world I’m in the stages of buying a house, having entered the stage of “Solicitors send letters to decide on legal things” which means there is a lot of hurry up and wait. I’ve already started packing some things away…

  • For Coin, For Contract – Halfling Paymaster

    Every servant of the Empress has their role. Mine just happens to involve balancing transactions and making sure that mercenaries like yourself fulfil their obligations. And while yes, my usefulness against a horde of orcs or the Northmen may be limited, I do like to think it works better when I am in charge of…

  • February 2022 Update

    Another month gone, the shortest of them all for 2022. This month was definitely a bit on the slow side – I spent a lot of it struggling to actually sleep at night and so the hobby time turned into the “oh god I need to nap or else I’ll go mad” time. However, I…

  • January 2022 Update

    New year, new update format! Rather than looking at projects, I’m instead going to take a look at the various aspects of the hobby, giving a much wider view over it all. But as an intro, I’m feeling pretty happy with January. I may didn’t paint as much as I wanted but there was some…

  • 2022 in Planning

    Earlier this week, I ran through what I got up to in 2021, which honestly having gone back through it all I’m pretty happy with. 2021 saw me work on a variety of genres Looking ahead, what are my plans for 2022? Well…. Project 365 First up, my plan to paint 365 models in a…

  • 2021 in Review

    2021 is over. It was definitely a hard year for most people, with me finding myself especially struggling by the end with life and work. However, through all of it there was a lot of good! I managed to get a chunk of things done, including a lot of the social side of the hobby…

  • Fantasy – Ser Godric of the North

    I thought I was done with painting Chaos Warriors. I thought I’d had my fill of the black armoured bastards, the fridge sized units that are one of the best designed things Games Workshop have come up with. I’ve painted the Underworlds band, I painted both the classic design and the newer one (that still…
