Hails gents,
Today is day one of ten days off work. My hobby weekend starts now! My brother is arriving down later today and he’ll be bringing his hobby stuff with him. We’ll both be working on our Knights and also a couple of ongoing bits. I still have my Dark Angels and Grey Knights and he has an Admech project he’s starting on.
My Knights in the extremely early stages of their base coats. These have been dry-fitted by the way, every armour panel is separate and the arms are magnetised.

So hopefully we’ll have some proper updates on the various projects throughout the week. We’ll also be getting some gaming in. I dunno if we’ll be playing a full game of 40k (ie: I dunno if I want to get walloped again) or some board games. It’s his birthday next weeknd so we’ll have mates around. Might be a good opportunity to try out all the Green Horde wave 2 goodies that turned up mid-week!
And if I get any quiet time in I’ll be getting more reading done for the FAITH RPG.
I suppose I should answer some questions…
1. Orks. Because Dwarves were never cool enough to have a game where they got to smash trucks into one another.
2. Narrative. Always. I love the story-telling element to gaming and it’s one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with RPGs.
3. Cooperative. The best multiplayer experiences I’ve had on console have been games like Borderlands, Ghost Recon and Dying Light. Even a shite game (Terminator Salvation, Damnation) can become playable if you have someone to have a laugh with. It’s the same with boardgames, our most played games are Zombicide: Black Plague and Dead of Winter.
You’ve had a mixed week mate. Sorry to hear about the health and plumbing problems but congrats to the kids on doing well.
Hex Beasts look great.
Looking forward to seeing those conversions. Historical stuff was never my thing (even though I live with an absolute war and history nut) but I do love to see people build armies and forces based on real divisions.
Infinity was a game I came so close to jumping into multiple times. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word said about the ruleset and the minis are glorious. I have both the Angel Giraldez painting books and the close-up shots of the mechs/rigs are stunning.
Now some ditties to clear the cobwebs.
