Had a small amount of hobby time yesterday, so I finished these! Another brilliant kit!

GW need to release the rest of the range asap. I can’t wait any longer 😂

Finished the first of the Infernal Cohort units I have. The models hit all the right things for me. They look great, they have lots of character but also aren’t to complex that it takes too long to finish a unit.

Next up is the Bombard and the Rocket Battery!

I absolutely succumbed to the FOMO, and got me some Helsmiths!!

These models are 11/10 and I’ve had so much fun painting them!

Up early for Day 1 of our 6 Nations Practice weekend! Games will be going late into the night, but it’s also a great opportunity for the team to get together and hang out!

Got some visitors this weekend. Warhammer, Food and Drinks are the name of the game.

Tour of the Plymouth Gin Distillery tomorrow. I’m sure that’ll be just fine.

Thanks to all the support of our wonderful players, the Welsh Open raised £1,400 for charity this weekend, with funds going to Children's Cancer and Leukemia.

We are so grateful to everyone for contributing their hard-earned funds for such a worthy cause!

That's a wrap on the Welsh Open!

Congratulations and thanks to all the players - you are truly what makes these events special. It was so good to see so many happy people in one place, and makes all of the hard work worthwhile.

Awards and winners will be posted up tomorrow.

A favourite for those that have attended Blackout previously, and an award that resonates with us well in Wales, the Caledor Memorial Award (for best dragon) went to Tom Matthews with his gorgeous blood-soaked Vhordrai!

Cleanest Gamer(s) tied at 4/5 votes each for Glen Chalk and Dominik de Cassan! A fantastic achievement for both getting that many votes.

Glen took home the custom WarVault, provided Pro Painted Studios. We'll be passing a trophy to Dominik as he was the highest placed player.

The player-voted "Well Tidy" Award (overall best army across all measures) went to Tony Kirby with his SEAHAUNT! 👻

You can tell that Tony has put so much time into these conversions and the display board - was a joy to see it on the table.
