You’ve ordered your Tuesday takeaway on a Wednesday so I’d say you’re off to a great start mate πŸ˜‚

Patrick Ball 2025 PlayStation year in review

Patrick Ball 2025 PlayStation year in review

While I think Expedition 33 was the best game I played this year, the most played game of 2025 was Persona 5 Royal which was another absolute banger - probably going to replay both in 2026

Reshot Cypher in the light box, really like how this model turned out - one of the best characters in 40K!

Side-by-side of Cypher from when I first did him when the new version of the model dropped in 2017 compared with the one I finished recently. Makes me realise my painting has actually come a long way. #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

Warhammer+ 2025 model Infinity’s Lament and Warhammer Store Anniversary 2025 rewards

Not a bad hobby day. My local store anniversary stuff arrived from the other week as well as this year’s free model for Warhammer+. Also managed to order the Remnant Blade book from Alchemists Workshop πŸ™‚ #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings

Yeah, I’d never pay the scalped price for a book, would have just gone the kindle route but so glad to grab the hard back.

Absolute scum of the Earth, every hobby I have is plagued by them.

Really wanted the book and was gutted when they were all gone and on eBay for double

Got one ordered with Alchemist now πŸ™‚

Me and the little one watched this last night and loved it. She’s 7 and watching her come to terms with the model’s age was hilarious - she asked if it was a fossil πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜‚

Love it when past self comes through for you

Beats the usual being mad at past self for poor decisions and setting current self up to fail

Yeah I had one many many moons ago now where I got a box of three Necron destroyers that arrived with only green plastic rods for two of them so instead of sending more green rods they just sent another three destroyers πŸ˜‚ so for the price of three, I ended up with five and the body for the D lord.

Props to GW customer support. Ordered a box of carnifexes and they arrived missing one of the weapon sprues so let them know and they just immediately send out a replacement no questions asked. Rarely needed to go to them over the years, but whenever I have done they’ve been top notch.

At the point you pick it’s then available to order for you, so shouldn’t show yet. I’ve had Warhammer+ since it started and it’s how it’s worked every year for me and everyone else I’ve spoken to at least. Hope you get it cleared up anyway.

It’s subscribe on or after August 25 to be eligible for this years model not the model is available from August 25. Nobody has the new model yet, they only announced it around the 25th. They usually start going live in September and staggered across subscribers since all at once is harder to fulfil.
