Had a bit of rolling cold and flu for past week or two but finally got back to some hobby and finished off a unit of jade warriors and a second cannon for my Cathay. Really happy with how the army is shaping up.

Bit of a break from Old World minis, knocked out the first unit for a new White Scars heresy army.

These end up a bit of a chore, but that’s the first unit of Jade Lancers done.

My Miao Ying preorder arrived early! Gorgeous model and much larger than I thought it would be.

Started today painting my first lot of Jade Lancers. Got bored and ended up doing this instead.

Bit of Adeptus Titanicus at the club today. Legio Atarus marches to oppose the traitorous Warmaster.

Non-hobby related update. 6 months ago I made a few big health and lifestyle changes. As of today I’ve now lost 45kg (7 stone) in weight. I still have a long way to go and joint pain is kicking my ass as I try to be more active. But feeling very positive and filled with motivation.

Just finished off a Grand Cannon for my Cathay army. Gonna tackle first 5 lancers next.

Some great hobby on display at the event today. Here’s the nominations for best baggage train…

Old World event in the club today. Sadly we had a drop out so I don’t get to play.

Finished off a kitbashed orc baggage train this morning. Ready for the clubs biggest Old World event yet this weekend.

Hobby table is loaded with big thicc boys at the minute. The one in the foreground infinitely more pleasurable to assemble than the one in the background

Just finished off the first rank of my first Grand Cathay unit. Really happy with how these have turned out. Will be slow going to finish the army but want to try and maintain this standard.

At the NIGT today, first time I’ve got to play in a proper GT instead of running one since 2019. Taking the lizards out for a walk.

My sat nav has for some reason decided to make random destination suggestions to try and disrupt my recent streak of healthy eating:

Had my 3D printer just over a month now. Should have bought one years ago. Finished painting up first set of new terrain I’ve done for Expldoding Dice

A bunch of orcs. Brought to you by the power of slap chop and my ability to procrastinate on other more time critical tasks…

I should be building and painting terrain but decided to paint dinosaurs instead

Got my Black Orc BSB on chariot finished along with some Wolf chariots for my Old World Nomadic Waaagh list. Some boar boys on the table this week before the new Cathay stuff distracts me.

Knocked out an Orc Shaman on a Wyvern today while following all the Old World FAQ coverage content. Need to start all those black Orcs next.

Loving reading some of the massive overreaction and salt regarding the new Grand Cathay rules. But my single favourite Facebook comment has to be: “GW are trying to appease the Chinese government” 😂

Just setup my first 3D printer (FDM). Sitting watching it run through the calibration process has already been entertainment enough to justify the cost.

Some of the armies from today’s Old World event

Narrative Old World Campaign day in the club today. Tried my best to make thematic looking tables from some custom scenarios

Go it this lad smashed out today, just in time for the rumoured incoming infantry meta.

Couple of months ago I took the decision to make some big lifestyle shifts, changed doctor and started some new medication. Since April I’ve now lost 26kg in weight (57lbs), I have a load more energy and feeling super positive. Long way to go but feeling proud of myself so thought I would share.

Getting pretty sick of trees now but got these finished up to add to diversify the clubs collection of foliage.

Postman just delivered the new Square Based Foray scenario cards for Old World. Super premium feel to these.

My finger is hovering perilously close to the “buy now” button on my first 3D printer…

Starting to go through old club terrain to try and spruce it up a bit. Give it a new lease of life. First up some citadel woods, 8 down and 6 more to go.

Play testing a custom Old World scenario tonight for a narrative campaign day I’m running next month. Look @sixdiceskills.bsky.social, a river!

Finished off some Old World models today. Got some boar boys almost finished and some wolf riders and yet more boars ordered so I’ll give the Nomadic Waagh list a go. Gotta go fast.

I might be a bit late to the party but the zoomable interactive map for the Old World that GW put together is an absolute delight.

Catching up on some terrain painting for the club. Love these Middle Earth kits (hate building them though).

Getting really sick and tired of companies not shipping to Northern Ireland. Brexit is the gift that just keeps giving.

Crossing the streams this morning. Running an AoS GT while reading my Old World rule book.

Running an Old World event today and one of the dwarf players has brought beer he has brewed himself to give to all his opponents. That’s commitment to theme.

Bought a water filter jug in an effort to up my hydration game as part of a new health drive. It won’t fit in my bloody fridge…

I know season one and two put a lot of book lovers off. But holy crap has season 3 of the Wheel of Time blossomed into some of the best fantasy TV in a long time.

Eagles absolutely murdering the Chiefs in the Super Bowl right now. You love to see it.

Full review of the Gloomspite Gitz battletome for Age of Sigmar 4 is here!! Please share it around so people can see it youtu.be/MGTyGqSHTYQ

Actually played an AoS event today instead of running one. Took me a while to get my head round my list so only went 1-2 but really enjoyed playing a new faction. Won best painted which was nice.

2000pts of Seraphon finished and ready for an event this weekend. Practice game tonight in the club to see if I know what any of it does.

Got this chad finished off incase I need to use him as spare player at a highlander AoS event the club is running this weekend. Not the most exciting model to paint but happy enough with the outcome.

Slight break from the seraphon project this week. Made a start on this lad today.

Things that definitely won’t change in 2025: Part 34 and part 35 of a GW mini kit will barely be in the same post code area never mind beside each other on the same sprue.

Started a couple of weeks ago but I’m still counting this as my first completed project of 2025

It took until the last 3rd of the year but 2024 was the year I got my hobby mojo back and began to enjoy painting again. Looking forward to keeping up the momentum for 2025

OMG New Bobby Fingers video has dropped and it’s gloriously deranged.

Found this gathering dust on a shelf…
