Hi guys. Apologies for missing the last few weeks – I’ve just found it difficult to get in the right headspace to engage with folks. But I’m feeling a bit more with it today 🙂

@mage ‘s questions:

1) Yes, I did, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Completely unnecessary, and the behind the scenes drama didn’t help, but i honestly think the greatest failing was releasing it within in 6 months of The Last Jedi. If it had come out this Christmas instead I think it would have had a better shot….

2) Harry Potter and Twilight. I worked book retail during the peak of both and just never got their popularity (and I have tried reading & watching both series). But then I’m not the intended audience.

3) The Wachowski siblings Speed Racer.

4) Street Fighter, the JCVD version. Gods I had hopes for that film….

5) The MCU is a perfect storm of circumstances coming together – it gets forgotten that RDJ as Tony Stark in the first Iron Man was a HUGE gamble,

 

As for hobby, I got a fair bit more priming done yesterday for both my Space Wolves and Deathwatch, including the Relic Leviathan for the DW and some converted ETB Primaris for the SW’s:
2018-09-29 13.29.122018-09-29 13.29.302018-09-29 13.30.07

Otherwise I tried to get some painting done for the first time in several weeks, but didn’t manage much beyond applying Stirland Battlemire onto the bases of my 12 Fenrisan Wolves and beginning to apply Retributer Armour to the trim of the armour plates I’ve kept separate from my Imperial Knights (no pictures though I’m afraid).

I did get the second delivery from Warhammer 40.000 Conquest though, including issues 4, 5 & 6 ahead of their scheduled release, which was nice. The exclusive Lt Calsius is quite spiffy, even if he is an Ultrasmurf 😀
And the preview has issue 8 coming with a Primaris Librarian – not bad for £7.99 getting a £20 character (might have to order a couple of those issues…).

I think that’s about all the hobby I’ll get though this weekend -I have to finish working through the anime Sound!Euphorium for a review, and this month’s Humble Bundle gave me a copy of Overwatch which I’m looking forward to digging into.
