Black Library do such lovely work with these limited edition hardcovers and it’s really exciting to see my first in the wild. Abraxia: Spear of the Everchosen is up for preorder next Saturday!

I think the wargaming community need to move past the;

'Don't tell my partner how much I spend on my hobby' jokes.

I mean, dysfunctional relationships are kinda funny, I guess?

Spent some time this week revisiting some of my fyreslayers, which were the first army I painted for AoS, and refreshing the basing and some of the highlights. First time I've gone back to an old paint job, but I'm much happier with them now.

Finished a unit of raptadons for my Seraphon. I love these models, but gosh they took a long time to paint.

Two gold warhammer shaped trophies, one labelled best painted and one labelled best overall. The Be'lakor model from Games Workshop is standing between them.

Great weekend at Mercia Madness, went 3-2 and got best painted and best overall. Five fun games against lovely opponents.

Captain Cynthia Rosko is finished, and ready to lead the Gravediggers into battle! Had a lot of fun painting her :) #Warmachine

I did a hobby blog covering the mastodon build! Hardship, anger, pretty miniature photos, a brief explanation for why long thin resin parts warp. It's got it all.

My main AoS project this year is to expand my Seraphon army out to 2000 points, this bastiladon is the first new model I've added.

The Kruleboyz terrain piece from Games Workshop. It's a wooden tower with a swampy base. There's a crude wooden face at the top which is painted purple.

Got my Kruleboyz tower painted up, think I'm out of excuses for not getting them on the table now.

I got to paint the new Doom Diver Catapult and Frazzlegit Shaman on War-Wheela for @goonhammer.com! These things are amazing, so much texture and character. Check out my review here: www.goonhammer.com/age-of-sigma...

I was convinced by @scops947.bsky.social to do Iridan as a painting project instead of, you know, anything that might be good in AoS. Thankfully, they are quite fun and quick to do

Vote for your Black Library Book of the Year for 2024 - Warhammer Community Which will you pick?

Because 2024 is a fluid concept, I have two books up for contention in this year's Black Library Book of the Year! If you enjoyed Darkoath or Grombrindal, your vote would be much appreciated. More than anything else, it's just a really cool list to be on. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Had a great time at the Big Bristol Brawl, my first event in over a year! Over the moon to nab third best painted in an incredible field. 2-3 is my worst result since 2019(!) so lots to work on. Both Deepkin and AoS4 generally don't feel great to play right now, but these things come around.

Finished 3-2 at Big Bristol Brawl after two wins on day 2, very happy with that. I had five fun games against lovely people. The slaves to darkness manifestations are absolutely terrible though, never running them again! #WarhammerCommunity
