Fantastic Horus Heresy apocalypse game happening today in the club. Thankfully I’m not running it, it’s pure chaos

Just finished my first Cathay lantern. The crew were a joy to paint and it’s kind sad how much they get lost when put inside the basket.

The balloon itself was a slog though. Definitely not doing more than 2.

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.

Thank you! I primed the bases with Colour Forge Hyrax Brown, then base coated with a thin layer of Pro Acryl Burnt Orange. The rocky bits are picked out in Pro Acryl Mahogany then the whole base is drybrushed with GW Karak Stone.

Final step is a light dusting of Vallejo Brown Iron Oxide pigment.

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.

Yeah, team campaign day, customer scenarios. It was part 2 of a 3 part series.

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.

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

I’ve just started on one of the cannons and there is so much character in the crew models.

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.
